Greetings,
Welcome to our monthly read.  I am always hoping my words encourage you to travel.  Serendipity Traveler offers women an exceptional small group travel experience.  As one traveler said, "how will I describe this back at the office".  I guess the best way is to say it was like traveling with good friends.  As it works, we stay in touch and travel again together.  We know who you are, what you want, and work to make sure your travels are the best.


R Words -  Rekindle
Some women who travel with us are in the process of reinventing themselves.  Perhaps a divorce or death has changed the landscape of their lives and they are sorting, planning, and beginning to dream again.  Or, after a change of work or when all the kids are grown, your dreams are now at the forefront.  The women I have met while traveling together are wonderful!  We have all decided that the website does a brilliant job of sorting out our style of traveler.  Friendships form as the days unfold and when we say goodbye emails are exchanged and we talk of future travels.  Wherever you are on the journey of life, traveling is a simple way to rekindle your dreams, expand your world, and discover new landscapes.  Dust off your passport and join us.


New York, New York
A few weeks ago I flew to New York, having been included in a breakfast with John Byrne, the editor of Business Week, and 50 other business women for a panel with Marcus Buckingham who is launching his most recent book, Finding Your Strongest Life, What the Happiest and Most Successful Women do Differently.  If you aren't familiar with Buckingham's work, I recommend taking a look at what he is working on.  After the panel discussion and morning excitement, with a new pair of walking shoes just old enough to be comfortable, I hit the streets of one of the worlds favorite cities, visited museums, ate well and returned home revitalized, filled with ideas, dreams and aspirations.  It was the first breakfast I have attended where exquisite breakfast appetizers were passed on silver trays before we sat down - mini cubes of French toast to dunk in maple syrup, pates of salmon with croissants, and more.  The view from the McGraw Hill corporate dining room on the 50th floor was stunning.

Paris, London, Ireland      
Time flies and this newsletter will be on its way to you while I am planning my next research trip to Europe.  I know it's a tough assignment and someone has to do it.  My research and keen sense of timing, savvy places to sleep, local guides, fine food, untouristed routes and off the road places are what make our trips special.  I put my heart in every trip; research, walk, talk, sleep, see hotels, and mix in the details to put the finishing touches on our itineraries and trip offerings for 2010 and beyond. 

See the 2010 calendar so far.

Autumn in New England  
This trip was last week and what a glorious week we experienced.  Beginning in Historic Boston, winding our way to Vermont and ending by the sea on Cape Ann, we spent a delightful time together.  New friendships made sipping mulled cider and memories now linger. The 2010 dates for our Autumn in New England trip are now posted.

Winter Trip
Choosing where we will go - renting a seaside house in Nevis or returning to Dominica or traveling to Maui, Hawaii. We will send an  a special newsletter on Winter Escapes shortly.  Stay tuned. Just got the dates from the Paris government regarding the Paris Soldes and am thinking some women may like to start the year shopping the sales in Paris? Lots of choices, and perhaps I will offer two trip this winter instead of the usual one. Airfare is still lower than it will be and whether it is the sales in Paris for a long weekend or walking amidst islands tropical beauty we are sure to travel well.
