Sandi and Steve Lingenfelter
This dynamic duo recently moved from Rancho Cucamonga to Henderson, Nevada. Steve was a high school teacher before retirement and Sandi owned a very successful home accessories store.
|
|
The two must have been friendly porpoises in a prior life as Steve loves to fish and Sandi loves the beach; both “never meet a stranger”. They own vacation time and travel regularly throughout Mexico. Bermuda was their favorite cruise with their favorite land tour being The British Isles, including the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. When asked about a travel bucket list, Sandi stated #1 New England and #2 New Zealand.

Bernadette and Rob Pillar
We would challenge anyone to disagree with them that vacationing with those you love is just the best thing! That’s how Rob and Bernadette travel; whether it be just the two of them, the whole fam- damily, or the close friends they love, they’re doing just that!
|
|
With a home in Kona, HI and a home in Spokane, WA their time is regularly divided between 2 states. Bernadette owns a thriving real estate business and Rob is retired from AT&T. Meeting new friends everywhere, their travel has included the continental US, Alaska, much of Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and most all of the Caribbean. Their travel bucket list is the British Isles (especially Ireland), Japan and Fiji.
