Marie's Mix Blog

With 30 years of global business and pleasure travel logged I've amassed a treasure trove of knowledge
and trusted relationships. I have indulged and shared with integrity my love of GREATravel
since the first day my sister and I opened GreatGetaways in 1987.

GREATravel with Marie Mabardi was created to share our wealth of experience with travellers and
enrich each of their lives with GREATMemories and GREATService.
