Your Saint Hedwig, Texas, Travel Agency and Cruise Specialist - Gail Lampman

Live. Love. Travel. That's our motto! While on our 19th cruise and after being retired from federal civil service for 6 years, I suddenly realized I could do this! I should  do this! I could help others enjoy life even more through the wonder of travel. And when I wasn't traveling, I could live vicariously through my clients' travel experiences! Cruise Planners was the perfect avenue, with its exceptional reputation for quality, service, and extremely competitive pricing.  I wanted to be associated with excellence, so what better way than becoming a Cruise Planners franchisee and owning my own travel agency?

My passion for travel was sparked over 40 years ago when we went on our honeymoon to California, visiting Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and SeaWorld San Diego. Since then, we've visited Hawaii three times, both by land and sea, and took a road trip with the kids from Texas to Disneyworld in Florida, sightseeing along the way in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Then, in 1997, we went on our first cruise on the Carnival Sensation out of Miami, Florida, and we were hooked on cruising! We have ventured across the world, by land and by sea, to the Western, Eastern, and Southern Caribbean, including the Bahamas, cruised Glacier Bay in Alaska, went whale-watching there, and fished for salmon; we even took a river cruise on the legendary Rhine, featuring stops in Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.  My personal favorite was an absolutely stunning Mediterranean cruise to Italy, Greece, and Malta, and a couple of years later we went on another, this time from Venice to Rome, visiting ports in Croatia and Montenegro along the Dalmatian coast. We've enjoyed all our travels, from snow-skiing in New Mexico, Colorado, and Lake Tahoe, to gambling and attending the NFR in Las Vegas, to marveling at the beauty of spring and the awe of fall in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to shopping, the theater, and sightseeing in New York City, and visiting monuments and museums in Washington, DC.  We enjoyed adventures in England, Scotland, and Ireland, visiting castles, cathedrals, and museums, and drinking Scotch whisky and Guinness.

So many memories, with more yet to come I hope! There is so much in the world to see. Don't you agree?  With our extensive travel experience, let us light the way for your next vacay!
