Jerry & Virginia March
Jerry and Virginia have been in the travel business for 17 years, offering customized travel planning services with a focus on cruising. With extensive travel experience and expertise, we have been to 5 continents, 44 countries, and 41 states and are enthusiastic about providing unique and memorable travel experiences for our clients.
Our most valuable travel possessions are passports and memories. We are often asked about our most memorable trips. It is not always the destiny but who goes along with you that makes it memorable. After booking a trip for our clients, we always ask “Who would like to travel with you?”
We believe that cruising offers the best value, with multiple destinations and the convenience of a ship. You only unpack once and see multiple locations all while enjoying the ship. Our dream trip is to Bora, Bora and Tahiti. Whether it's snorkeling with sharks, riding elephants in Thailand, or touring Cuba in a classic car, we have a wealth of knowledge to share.
As travel advisors, we are knowledgeable and help our clients pick the best options to meet their travel needs. Our motto is "Our worst day of traveling is still better than our best day at work."
