  • Image Darlene Entringer Darlene Entringer has been a marketing director in AAA’s national office in Heathrow, FL for nearly 18 years. She and her husband, Larry, are making up for “lost time” (raising children, building careers, paying for college, paying off their mortgage, etc.) as they seek numerous opportunities to travel the globe. Darlene has enjoyed fifteen cruises and one riverboat excursion, traveling to ports of call in Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and northern Europe. She believes cruising is the most comfortable, the least stressful, and obviously cost-effective way to visit a wide variety of countries and cities. A recent riverboat adventure went through scenic little burgs, ancient castles and acres of vineyards from Prague to Trier, France with stops in Bavaria and Germany. She compares these little towns to the treasured and colorful holiday village she displays each Christmas season. Her favorite city is Paris in the fall. It’s a fascinating metropolis filled with history, wonderful food, engaging sites and friendly people. An immediate travel goal is to see more of the U.S.A., particularly the many national parks. She enjoy traveling with friends and family as well.
