We called Joyce from the road to help find a pet-friendly hotel for that night. She found the perfect place. No hassle. No research nightmare.

Joyce is fantastic. She has booked several things for us. She knows the ins and outs and there's a great peace of mind having her arrange everything.

The hotel that Joyce recommended was spot on! We were really impressed with this hotel. Next time we are in need of accommodations, we will definitely contact Joyce and leave it in her hands!

Joyce really did a terrific job and was able to change the dates of my trip even though it was not really an option with the original booking. She was also able to assist in a room change upon arrival, as the room they gave me smelled terrible. I was given options and was able to select a room to my liking. During the entire experience, Joyce was very professional and kind not only to me but to the employees at the hotel. Joyce made sure that everyone was happy with the final results. I’m already looking forward to planning my next trip through Joyce.

Venice Isn’t Just Beautiful, It’s Electrified
If you think Venice is all gondolas and pastel sunsets, that’s only half the story. The other half is dramatically slashed horizons, figures tumbling from shadow into light, and one Renaissance painter who turned the city into his stage. That painter was Tintoretto—Jacopo Robusti (1518–1594)—a man who famously wanted “the drawing of Michelangelo and the color of Titian.” Instead, he gave Venice something bolder: art that feels like motion, urgency, and narrative lightning. His work doesn’t just live in churches and palaces—it haunts them. And this is why I adore Venice!
