Hello, my name is Jackie and I started my career in the travel industry in June 1996 after graduating from Rasmussen Business College.
I have had the opportunity to cruise on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Princess cruise lines and have enjoyed traveling to other destinations like Las Vegas, Washington, Colorado, Hawaii, Arizona, California, Bogota Columbia, and several destinations in Mexico including Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Mexico City, Mazatlan and I even had the opportunity to live in Mexico during high school for a while.
Of all the destinations I've traveled I love Mexico. My favorite areas of Mexico are the "non-touristy" areas. For example, just south of the Riviera Maya in the Akumal area I've found an inexpensive condo property with a beautiful ocean view from everywhere in the condo that sits on a protected bay that does not allow boat travel and has great snorkeling. The restaurants in the area are quaint and the food is delicious. It is one of the most relaxing places that I have been...give me a call and I'll tell you all about it.
