Saint Augustine once said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” If that’s true, Jane and Jerry Kreutz are voracious readers.
As the owners of AB Travel, the Kreutz’s know first-hand the joys of exploring lands near and far.
Jane started her career in the business back in 1972 when she became a travel agent and eventually executive vice president for Alpha Beta (for those too young to remember, Alpha Beta groceries – now Albertson’s – once had travel agencies in many of their grocery stores).

the job is hearing how the trip went when our clients get home, said Jane. Knowing that we helped them make life-long memories is a great feeling. Jane and Jerry have lived in the same house in the Hollywood Riviera since 1965, and have two grown children and 4 grandchildren. And though theyre sure to hit the road for more travel adventures, they plan to stay rooted in the Riviera permanently. You can visit AB Travel at 24022 Vista Montana, Suite B, Torrance or call them at 310-373- 8631.
Local Residents Help Others See the World Among Janes favorite travel destinations are Canada, New Zealand and Kenya. While cruises are still a very popular way to travel according to Jane, riverboats are becoming one of the most requested travel vacations. We regularly arrange river boat cruises for clients on such rivers as the Rhine, where they might see Germany, Switzerland and Amsterdam, or the Danube, where they can see Germany, Austria and Hungary, said Jane. Its a great way to visit several countries while enjoying a relaxed and pampered mode of travel. In addition to cruises and riverboat trips, the Kreutzs arrange independent land-based trips all over the world. Sometimes clients dont want to travel with a group that goes on scheduled tours, said Jane. We can certainly arrange those packages, but if they want to explore the area on their own instead, we can do all the pre-trip leg work so that they can enjoy every moment of their trip without having to worry about the logistics. After so many years in the business, the Kreutzs have seen a lot of changes in the travel industry, especially with the widespread use of the internet to research vacation options. You can spend hours on the computer but you still probably wont get an accurate picture of what a hotel or resort is like, said Jane. Thats where our first-hand expertise really is valuable to our clients. Many of the Kreutzs clients are the children or grandchildren of their Saint Augustine once said, The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. If thats true, Jane and Jerry Kreutz are voracious readers. As the owners of AB Travel, the Kreutzs know first-hand the joys of exploring lands near and far. Jane started her career in the business back in 1972 when she became a travel agent and eventually executive vice president for Alpha Beta (for those too young to remember, Alpha Beta groceries now Albertsons once had travel agencies in many of their grocery stores). Prior to that Jane was a stewardess with Continental Airlines, so she already knew a thing or two about travel. In 1982 Jane bought AB Travel, which has been located in the shopping center at Vista Montana and Pacific Coast Highway (behind the Mongolian Barbeque restaurant) since 1976. Jerry, her husband of 49 years, joined her in the business when he retired from Hughes Aircraft 25 years ago. We love our job because we love to travel, said Jane. Weve been all over the world and have a lot of experience in knowing where to go, where to stay, what to do and how to get there.

Dear Igor
I just want to let you know how much Lori and I appreciate the wonderful job you did handling the sale of our house. From our first meeting we were convinced you were the realtor to han- dle the sale. You met and exceeded our expectations; from your ideas of staging the house and the help of your team of professionals. I felt like Lonnie the painter was part of the family. It's refreshing how proactive and caring you are about getting the house on the market. You do all the homework and helped prepare our house for the market. I'm sure all your work enabled us to sell our house for full price even before it hit the market.
We would also like to thank your assistant for being so helpful with handling things for us while we were out of town looking for our retirement home. Any time I had a question she was prompt and helpful with her answers. You guys are the bomb!!!
Thanks again for everything and I will highly recommend your services to anyone I know selling in the future.
Sincerely, Mark and Lori Heskett Hollywood Riviera home sellers Congratulations to the Winner of the $25 Cheesecake Factory Gift Certificate: The Colmans To read more letters from buyers and sellers Ive represented, go to IgorRealEstate.com or LiveInHollywoodRiviera.com
