This was my first trip abroad while traveling without any family. I was nervous and unsure of what to do. Thankfully, Johnnie Herring turned my questions into a dream vacation that spanned twelve days of unforgettable memories. Once I arrived in Dublin, I traveled around Ireland by railway. My itinerary included step by step instructions, vouchers for trains, hotels, and tours, directions, and phone numbers of local transportation resources. My hotel accommodations met or exceeded my expectations. Ireland is a beautiful country and well worth a visit...or two.
Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Johnnie stayed in touch throughout my stay and made updates to my itinerary when a gate change for my flight home changed. I cannot express the level of comfort I felt knowing Johnnie was actively monitoring my vacation and was there if I needed her. ❤️ I highly recommend Johnnie for your vacationing needs. While she's very professional, it is her friendliness, thoroughness, attentiveness, and genuine concern for her client's needs that stand out the most.

Johnnie is the best travel agent I have ever worked with. She is very helpful and willing to address any questions or concerns. She is always a pleasure to work with. She helped us plan a Mediterranean cruise and added time afterwards in Athens and Rome. I highly recommend her and the agency.
-Jana Osborn
Johnnie is amazing to work with. We booked a trip to Athens with a cruise to the Greek Islands. I’d never been to Europe before and Johnnie was exceptional at making my first European adventure an easy one. She answered every question that popped up with experience that was reassuring and accurate.
My flights were well timed, transfers from place to place handled in the most efficient way, and my hotel experience was a good one thank to Johnnie!

Introduction: After three years of anticipation, we finally embarked on our long-awaited journey to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. From the breathtaking landscapes of Banff to the charming city of Victoria and the vibrant streets of Vancouver, our Canadian adventure was filled with natural wonders, historic landmarks, and unforgettable experiences. Join us as we delve into the highlights of our trip and immerse ourselves in the captivating beauty of Western Canada.
Banff National Park: A Nature Lover's Paradise: Flying into Calgary, we quickly rented a car and made our way to the picturesque resort town of Banff, nestled in the heart of Banff National Park. Established in 1885 as Canada's first national park and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Banff boasts awe-inspiring mountain scenery and a myriad of activities for outdoor enthusiasts. From hot springs to snow skiing in winter and hiking, shopping, and wildlife spotting in summer, this charming town has something for everyone. We delighted in exploring the downtown area, treating ourselves to a delicious meal at the renowned Grizzly House Restaurant, and relishing the cozy ambiance while savoring French Onion soup and Sirloin Burgers.
Emerald Waters and Alpine Luxury: Lake Louise and Fairmont Château Lake Louise: Continuing our journey westward, we were greeted by the mesmerizing emerald waters of Lake Louise. The serene beauty of the lake beckoned us to embark on a scenic hike, immersing ourselves in the tranquility of the surroundings. Our accommodation for the night was the prestigious Fairmont Château Lake Louise, an alpine luxury resort that perfectly harmonizes with the breathtaking nature surrounding it. From skating and skiing to hiking and rejuvenating in the lap of luxury, this grand retreat offered a gateway to unforgettable experiences. We marveled at the variety of hiking trails, observed wildlife in their natural habitat (while taking necessary precautions), and relished the enchanting beauty of the Bow Valley. While the more adventurous can undertake the 6.4-mile hike to the Plain of Six Glaciers, we opted for a pleasant and easy 3-mile walk along the lake, culminating in the sight of a small glacier.
Victoria: A Blend of History and Natural Splendor: Leaving the Canadian Rockies behind, we flew to Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, located on Vancouver Island. Victoria's abundant parkland and temperate weather create the perfect environment for stunning gardens and beautiful landscapes. The city's British colonial past is reflected in its Victorian architecture, exemplified by the stately Craigdarroch Castle mansion. We took a moment to admire this architectural gem before checking in at the Fairmont Empress, a historic waterfront hotel known as the 'Castle of the Pacific.' With its classic and contemporary blend, the hotel offered picturesque views of float planes, boats, and migrating whales. Our tour of Victoria took us to Hatley Castle, a magnificent structure, and Butchart Gardens, a paradise boasting 55 acres of vibrant floral displays and water features. We also explored Chinatown, the second oldest in North America, and wandered through the narrow and charming Fan Tan Alley.
Vancouver: A City of History and Vibrant Energy: Our final stop before embarking on an Alaskan cruise was the dynamic city of Vancouver. We boarded a BC Ferry and crossed the Strait of Georgia to reach this cosmopolitan hub. Vancouver's rich history unfolded as we participated in an evening tour that explored the city's lost souls and delved into the stories of Gastown, the original name of the town before its renaming. We marveled at the steam-powered clock and soaked in the city's atmosphere. Despite opting for Rosedale Condos for our accommodation, we indulged in a tasty meal at Meat and Bread, a renowned eatery featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Vancouver's iconic Lions Gate Bridge, connecting the city to Stanley Park, and its cinematic appeal left a lasting impression on us.
Conclusion: A Journey Filled with Wonder and Natural Splendor: As we reflect on our Canadian adventure, we are filled with gratitude for the majestic beauty we witnessed, the history we explored, and the warm hospitality we experienced. From the grandeur of Banff National Park to the elegance of Fairmont Château Lake Louise, the charm of Victoria, and the vibrancy of Vancouver, Canada surpassed our expectations. Each destination offered its own unique blend of natural wonders and cultural heritage. Our hearts are filled with fond memories, and we depart with a sense of awe and a desire to return to this land of breathtaking landscapes and warm-hearted people.
