Outside of Actun Tunichil in Belize junglesI can't believe our vacation is finally here. After giving this trip to my mom for her 50th birthday last year at this time, I didn't think this trip would ever come! Wow did that year go fast. Today we head to Denver where we overnight with family before heading to Belize. It was cheaper to fly Montana to Colorado and then Colorado to Belize then to do it all in one shot from Montana.
I am amazed by the service on our small Frontier flight to Denver. My mom and I sat up front and the steward chatted with us the entire time. So friendly and eager to find out where we were headed and what we had planned. He even asked me for a card so I could help HIM plan a trip!
When we arrive in Denver mom's sister is there to greet us. She is so excited for us and excited she gets to see us off.
After a relaxing (and late) meal, we head to my Aunt's house to rest up for the beginning of our trip. REST is an overstatement! My mom is so nervous her luggage is over the weight limit that she essentially re-packs her suitcase tonight. We laugh until we cry as she debates about taking this shirt or that and her an I argue about her bringing her beach towel. I am going to be in so much trouble if our hotel doesn't have beach towels!
Finally, with the last items back in the suitcase, we can sleep soundly...well not really. We are too excited! (I feel like a little girl again!)
Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.
