Peggy A. Fischer – President/Owner

2026 is going to be a great year!

We welcomed a new family member this last year in our grandson ROCCO but he lives in San Francisco so I will be traveling lots to see him and spoil him. I am assisting a large group of people going to Huatulco, Mexico this year. I am planning a trip to Ireland with friends and hoping to get to Croatia this year. I will also be escorting a group on Viking River Cruises to do the European Christmas Markets – super cool stuff this year and can’t wait to be able to share all my experiences with you and to be able to assist you with far off adventures or wherever your next trip may take you!!

Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your trip planning.

Looking forward to whatever new adventure awaits!

Yuki & Rafi – Office Dogs

Yuki is a playful 4-year-old Black Lab with a curious spirit. She loves to keep an eye on the goings-on around the office and a sunny spot to relax in. Yuki’s friendly and loves meeting new people, though she may greet you with a bark at first – just give her a treat, and she’s your best friend!

Rafi, our 4-year-old Yellow Lab, is the office’s laid-back, lovable companion. He spends most of his days lounging in the office, always ready to offer a wagging tail and a big smile to anyone who stops by. Rafi is a true people-dog, always happy to offer affection and bring a little joy to the office atmosphere.

Both Yuki and Rafi are an important part of our team, adding plenty of love and warmth to our work environment!

Debbie Schildkraut – Personal Travel Consultant – Independent Contractor

With over 35 years of experience in the travel industry, my journey began in the skies as a former flight attendant. That early passion for exploration naturally transitioned into a career as a travel advisor, where I’ve dedicated decades to turning travel dreams into reality.
Throughout the years, I have built an extensive portfolio rooted in personal, hands-on experience. This deep-seated knowledge, combined with a commitment to my loyal clients, allows me to curate journeys that are as seamless as they are inspiring. I am incredibly proud that much of my business is built on referrals; it is a testament to the fact that I treat every vacation as a unique journey, ensuring it is just as important to me as it is to you.
I truly believe that “We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” Whether you are looking for a complex international itinerary or a relaxing getaway, I do my best to ensure your next adventure is unforgettable!

Surgical tech by profession, travel advisor by passion — I love helping clients escape reality by planning unforgettable vacations! With precision, organization, and calm under pressure all part of my everyday life, I bring those same skills to every travel experience I create. Spending my days in a fast-paced environment has taught me the value of recharging, relaxation, and fun, and I love helping others find the perfect balance of all three.
