I grew up in a family that loved to travel. My father was an Army Colonel and I spent most of my childhood living in Germany. My dad passed on the “travel bug” to me. He had us traveling all over Europe as a family of 5. Some of my absolute best and magnificent memories are the countless experiences we had all over Europe.
As a wife, mother of 4 adult children, 2 beautiful daughters in law, and 3 spunky grandsons (more babies on the way!), I have desired to share experiences with my family traveling as well. It is not always easy, things sometimes do not go as planned but we have created some magnificent memories together. The stories always get bigger and better as time goes on!
I am the planner in the family. I have planned every trip in our almost 40 year marriage. I have also helped family and friends over the years plan unique and special memories. Many who know me know that I get just as much joy planning trips as I do going on trips – I love it all! I am now turning a decades long passion into a business. A travel business, Gayle Kelly Travel, that wants to come alongside you and plan some magnificent memories. I enjoy planning trips for families, couples, and groups. It would be my joy to plan a trip for you!
Some of my favorite trips that I have planned for my family and friends the last 5 years:
~ Lake Como, Italy with our family
~ Cycling with 16 women from Provence to the French Riviera
~ Zermatt, Italy with our family
~ Africa: Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, and Uganda on Vision Trips
~ Paris: The French Open with another couple
~ Rome, Florence and Paris with my youngest son
~ Sardinia and Corsica on a hiking, biking, and kayaking adventure with 10 couples
~ Ireland: west side of the country with my 90 year old mother and 2 siblings
~ Ireland: Dublin and surrounding areas with my husband’s extended family (46 of us) for a wedding
~ Yachting: Seadream Yacht Club in Croatia and the Caribbean. Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection in Italy and Malta. Sea Cloud in Turkey and Greece.
~ France: Paris, Annecy, Aix-en-Provence, Antibes with another couple
And that is just the last 5 years!! More to come, Lord willing!!
