Hi and welcome to the AHA Blog, we are so glad that you found us!
Blogging and Art History Alive are a great match, and this is why. Since I create, then plan, and escort all of the trips myself, getting to know me a bit can be helpful in deciding if AHA is the right travel fit for you. Through my posts, I hope that you will become acquainted with my style of travel, the sites that I think are important to see and understand, and why I feel that way. I will chat about our hotel choices, which are vitally important to me, restaurants we have enjoyed for years, new finds, and lots more. I plan to write a post on each itinerary individually and include pictures, which are worth a thousand words in this business, and along the way, share my travel dreams with you. Blogging also lets me get to know you a bit. By using the comment area at the bottom of the page, you can send me your thoughts, questions, or suggestions.
OK, lets get started. Many clients have asked just how I decide on a destination. I use a very, very simple criteria. If I visit a place, on my own, and it blows me away, my brain instantly kicks into a planning phase. I almost can’t help it, I think I must be “hard wired” that way. Being blown away is the easy part, then starts the research and development, copious note and photo taking, planning day by day, and step by step itineraries and I love every minute of it. I have had the opportunity to travel extensively in the past 25 years and I have seen many, many beautiful and fascinating places, however, only a few actually thrill me, and those are the ones that make the AHA list of upcoming trips.
So, you are beginning to get to know me a bit. I hope that you will come to trust my destination choices as more than worthy of your all important travel decisions. With only 6-8 like minded travelers in a group versus 18-28 and often times many more, AHA can easily guarantee that you will get up close and very personal with your destination and make some great friends along the way. AHA will be available to you from the day you sign on to travel, and take care of everything from the day we meet in our destination until the day we hug goodbye. I love my job so much and would like to share these beautiful places with you.
I hope that you will become a subscriber to the AHA blog which is easy and free. When I post something new, and I hope interesting, on the AHA blog, subscribers will receive a very brief notification by email containing a link to the new item of interest. So, when time permits you can browse the latest from Art History Alive, or any earlier posts that you might find of interest.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you, and I’d love to know what you would like to learn more about on this blog. Travel hints, destinations, future destinations, art, architecture, food, wine, our DVD, all of the above? So don’t be a stranger, ask your questions and let’s talk soon.
My next post is on the 2008 AHA trip: The Best of Italy - September 17-29, 2008!
