OUR LATE IN LIFE EXPERIENCE
Richard and Lydia have been married for 40 years, have 4 grown children and 2 grandchildren.
One Covid discovery we made was that we had a passion for costuming. Since 2022 we've competed in 7 costume contests winning 6 of them. We compete during Halloween at an all inclusive resort in Mexico and also on charter cruise ship. The avatar picture shown here was our 2025 entry into the Sci Fi category on a cruise. It took 3.5 hours to paint each other. Costuming is all in the details, this entire costume was hand made (except the wigs and contacts).
Richard also met a fellow cruiser in 2023 who talked to him about intermittent fasting. The result was enough inspiration that in 2 years I've gone from 325 pounds to 195 pounds, which should be obvious if you peruse some of our other costume pictures below.
Even if you DON'T NEED travel assistance. Feel free to cantact me to discuss intermittent fasting or costuming. If you do need travel help, continue scrolling to see how I can help.

Luxury Travel Experiences
At RJ Platinum Travel, I specialize in providing mid-tier luxury travel options tailored to your needs. Drawing from my personal experiences, I ensure that every journey to luxury travel destinations is unique and memorable.
We've been fortunate enough to travel and enjoy some of the finer things in life, which is where my expertise lies. If your budget allows you to fly priority or business class and stay at luxury hotels like JW Marriott, Ritz Carlton, or Four Seasons, or if you're considering luxury cruises that offer pampering experiences, then I may be the travel advisor for you. I will ensure all of your travel needs are met and ready for your arrival.
If you're not quite ready for the Four Seasons, I've also discovered that stays at quaint downtown hotels in major cities can provide a very positive and memorable experience. We recently enjoyed a unique boutique hotel on a canal in Amsterdam, which you can explore at https://www.estherea.nl/
