Bill in Australia.

The Opera House in Sydney Harbour.  To the right I'm with a friend. The Koala's name is Douglas and he lived at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane. CE Trip 1997.  Australia should be at the top of every traveler's list.  

This little guy's name was Douglas and he was one of 26 koala's at the Long Pine Koala and Game Sanctuary in Brisbane Australia.

Jeanne's Beginning

Jeanne started with ITC tours in New York in 1973.  She was the tour manager for Air France Vacations.  She has been in travel for 35 years. That road has taken her all over the world and exposed her to a myriad of cultures and experiences.  An unapologetic New Yorker, Jeanne is shown on the deck of the Carnival's Legend departing on a Caribbean Cruise leaving New York.  Jeanne was born in Queens and grew up in Long Island, the 2nd child of a family of avid scuba divers.  Jeanne's Dad was one of the nation's first divers and was a master instructor teaching diving at Long Island University.

Bill's First overseas trip.

Queen Elizabeth to England 1958. Bill Mother took him to England to visit with her family and meet his 40+ cousins, uncles and aunts. . It was a life changing event, teaching him that parents should travel with their children.  It opens them up to the world. .

Bill In New Zealand

Just moments before Bill had stepped out of a helicopter on the top of majestic Mt. Cook on New Zealand's South Island. New Zealand is a combination of the America's Rocky Mountains and the civility and wonderful village life of England.  It offers fantastic opportunities for people who like adventure travel or those who enjoy a fun, relaxed placed to explore. 

First Caribbean Cruise, Carla C, 1981

An old ship when we sailed on her and small, It was a wonderful cruise with a great crew and wonderful ports. Teaching Bill and Jeanne that shp is not the only factor when looking at cruises.  She was small, but a warm lovely ship and experience.

Bill In the Holyland

To the left is a bad-tempered Israeli Donkey at a Biblical Research Center near Bethlehem. Israel was an inspiration place and one of Bill and Jeanne's favorite places. History every hundred yards and a place which brings the Bible to life.

Bill, Jeanne and Liz in Turkey

This is a chance for Bill to show off the best of America to wonderful young people from over 60 countries. They are some of his favorite trips.  Pictured above are the kids who lived in South Central Ohio 2007-2008.  Bill also volunteers in RYE in Ohio.

Bill In Egypt

Another case of animal cruelty where Bill rides another bad-tempered Beast, in this case a camel in Giza, on his way to the Great Pyramid. Egyptians are warm people with great senses of humor.  This is another place everyone should have on their bucket list. .

Bill In

China

China is an amazing place.  You think you know something about it, but it's totally different from your expectations.

Stuff You Should Read

Airline Seats & Cruises 

The airlines and the cruise lines have had long term love-hate relationship, which is now starting to affect our clients. If you use the Cruise Lines air YOU will be responsible for getting your own seat assignments.  We do not get the tickets or flight schedule until shortly before departure, so we CANNOT guarantee seat assignments which allow you sit with you family. If this is important we recommend you purchase separate air and leave a day earlier. The advantage of buying the air from the Cruise line is you can fly the same day and it includes transfers to the ship.  Also make sure your frequent flyer numbers are in the record when you check in.

Airline Ticketing Limitations

McMurray Travel Service is a full service IATAN and ARC accredited ticketing agency.  However we do restrict ourselves in what tickets we do sell and reserve the right to not sell certain areas of the world and certain airlines which we feel are unstable and which place our clients and our business at a risk. We reserve the right to not issue airline tickets to anyone we chose as airline tickets are non-revenue items. When we do chose to issue tickets we will charge a fee for that service. The fee is based on the amount of time and effort required to issue the ticket. We do not issue tickets on any airline voucher,  coupon or any other offer tendered directly by the airline. Go to the airline who issued the voucher to redeem those.  McMurray Travel Service or it's agents and contractors are not responsible for airline delays or missed connections caused by airline schedule changes or delays or medical conditions caused by aircraft equipment. .  It is the passenger's responsibility to reconfirm his airline flights before departure.
