Do you have a travel bucket list?
At some point, we all dream of visiting distant lands, and experiencing whole new worlds. Whether your dream destinations include Europe, the South Pacific, or maybe places a little closer to home, Sue and Bruce Mitchell, of Cruise Planners/Red Mountain Travel, can help you check them off your list.
“Having a travel agent who’s ‘been there, done that’ is important,” said Sue.
Sue and Bruce not only talk the talk, but they also walk the walk. Over this past summer, they scratched half a dozen dreams off their list. They took a Viking River Cruise from Budapest, Hungary, to Passau, Germany, taking in Vienna, Melk, Durnstein and Salzberg, as well as Austria and Bratislava, Slovakia, along the way. Afterward, they hopped a flight to France, exploring all the delights of Paris, Normandy and Givenchy. Little did Sue know her favorite stop would be Budapest.
“It’s a spectacular city, especially at night,” Sue said.
In July, they checked off another item on the bucket list when they jetted off to the Lake District, in England. They even had the opportunity to attend the British Open in Royal Liverpool.
Tahiti? Check! Fiji? Check! Bora Bora, New Caledonia and Sydney, Australia? Check, check and check. While in Australia, Sue and Bruce spent time in Melbourne before heading to Queenstown, New Zealand.
“That wasn’t on the list at the time,” Sue stated, “but having been there and experiencing the great weather and amazing outdoor activities, it should be on everyone’s bucket list.”
The Mitchells ended their summer of travel by checking off Fiordland National Park (the Southern Alps) and a return to Sydney.
So, what is the point of discussing Sue and Bruce’s summer travel adventures?
“We can say we have more than 30 years of travel experience, and can help you find the best deals for your budget,” Sue explained. “But because we have first-hand knowledge of a variety of destinations, we can offer you points of interests and advice you might not find online or in travel books.”
Cruise Planners/Red Mountain Travel caters to anyone who likes to travel, and they are eager to help their friends and neighbors in the Red Mountain and Northeast Mesa areas complete their travel bucket lists.
