About Terry Casey
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
Most experienced for Paris, Loire Valley, Provence, Southwest France, Alsace, Burgundy and Reims/Champagne Country. Terry really likes helping travelers get their trip "flow and pacing" right so that your adventure is neither . . . a bore, NOR a blur! There's so much to enjoy in France that you want to make sure your timing works well and fits your interests, tastes, personal experiences and needs. In the past few years, Terry has also planned and done great trips to Belgium, Germany, Spain, Ireland, England, Austria, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Turkey and Switzerland, plus South America and Cuba. Did wonderful April, 2007, week in Paris. Just back from summer 2008 England through Baltics and Russia cruise, etc.

Experience
There is much post 9-11-2001 worry about travel to Europe, but all reports and experiences say things are fine, with proper care and planning. From wide travels in many parts of Europe in 2005- 2008, my personal experiences are that things are good there and reasonably behaving Americans are treated well. See, enjoy the world and experience its great diversity! I have visited 20 countries in Europe and know that there's lots there to see and do. PROVIDE KEY BACKGROUND INFORMATION with QUESTION: To help me answer your questions better, please provide some info on your past France/Europe travel experiences, ages, general budget range, personal travel style/interests, number in your party, what you most want to enjoy and see, etc.
