To celebrate the summer, we asked some of our team members to share their travel adventures! Our team works so hard all year long, and it’s really important to our company that the staff takes advantage of their opportunities for a well-deserved break.

Ana Temple, Commercial Account Manager
Denver, Colorado

“This trip was totally last minute since our flight to Washington DC was cancelled. We had a great family time exploring Colorado”

Pam Gillette, Commercial Account Manager
Alaskan Cruise

“My Alaskan trip was a 2 week adventure, starting with a 7 day cruise and ending with a 7 day land tour.   Visited multiple cities during those two weeks, including Skagway, Juneau, Alyeska, Denali, Anchorage, and Fairbanks along with other small stops along the way.  The weather was sunny everyday with snow topped mountains in view, including the famous Denali, formerly known as Mt. McKinley.  Also was able to see whales, moose, bear among other animals during our time in Alaska.  An adventure of a lifetime worth every minute.”

     

Kristy Terenzio, Director of Employee Benefits
Key West

“My husband, Charlie, and I travelled to the Keys to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary – without our kids for the first time in what seems like forever! We spent time in both Key West and Key Largo. We so enjoyed our adventures. Lots of swimming, boating, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, dancing, R&R, and of course some fantastic eats and drinks. We had an awesome time!”

    

Kapi Whitfield, Personal Account Manager 
Key West

“My family was down in the keys fishing the Yellowfin owners’ tournament held in Hawks Kay. We have tried for YEARS to catch a swordfish, and it finally paid off! My 16-year-old son speared so many fish, we actually had to buy another cooler to bring all the fresh fish back home.

Being 3 years now breast cancer-free, a bucket-list item since I was young was to visit the Bahamas. Our friends planned a trip for us over 4th of July for a week’s stay in Bimini, traveling by boat. We were so blessed with great weather, good friends, and even more fish!!”

     

Sue Rocco, Personal Account Manager
Sky-diving in DeLand, FL and race-car driving in Las Vegas… means lots of relaxing from all that adrenaline in Savannah, Georgia and Asheville, North Carolina!

“Walking into the Biltmore was like walking back in time. Preserved in its original beauty and elegance.Downtown Asheville was the artsy and weird I expected. Fun and lively.”

       

Paula A. Pugliesi, Marketing Manager
Italy

“My husband Ben and I traveled to Italy along with his parents and sister.  We spent a few days in Rome site seeing. We then flew to Sicily to celebrate my in-laws 60th Wedding Anniversary.   We met over 25 of our Italian cousins from my Father-in-Laws side of the famiglia.  Bella Vacanza!”

        

Jeff Chapin, Commercial Insurance Advisor & Jerilynn Chapin, HR Manager
Sandals All Inclusive Resort in Curacao

“This is our second Sandals vacation.  Everything about our trip from the greeting, cleanliness and excellent food make it an amazing experience.  The rooms at the resort are all beautiful and the staff treat everyone special and respectful.  This vacation was so peaceful and relaxing, we even took some time to get an amazing massage then float in the pool.  We loved it so much we plan on going to another location next year!”
