Greetings!
Welcome to our new Discovery Club e-newsletter! We call it the "5 Minute Vacation", because that is what we hope it becomes for you in your busy day... a reminder of how important it is to stop, relax a little, escape for even a moment, and reflect on what you've worked so hard to attain. It's important that we all take the time to enjoy the moments.
We hope you enjoy your "5 Minute Vacation". And, as always, we welcome your feedback. Where would you like to go on your next 5 Minute Vacation? Have any questions we can answer? Planning your next getaway? Let us help you plan it using your Discovery Club Membership!
Cheers,

Jamaica
By Brooklyn Greig, Member Services Respresentative
On the road to Bob Marley's home.  |
My husband and I arrived as two newlyweds to the sandy shores of Runaway Bay, one of the many tourist destinations on the island of Jamaica. It's located in the Saint Ann Parish on the northern coast of Jamaica, only 16 km west of the well known town Ocho Rios. We traveled in May, which is the beginning of the rainy season but as a popular Jamaican poem says "We have neither Summer nor Winter, Neither Autumn nor Spring, We have instead the days when the gold sun shines on the lush green cane fields - Magnificently."

At Your Service... By Tyrone Lingley, Director of Sales
Our new Director of Sales, Tyrone Lingley  |
"Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." - Miriam Beard
As the newly hired Director of Sales, I am excited to be joining Brad Neufeld in the expanded sales team at The Discovery Club. It is my goal to showcase the positive change our membership can bring. Whether it is a re-connection with loved ones, a deeply relaxing getaway, or the exploration of new lands, travel is a catalyst for evoking lasting change. The dedication and heart our team pours into the Discovery Club has resulted in remarkable experiences for our members; we need to share this with others who are looking for their own change.
Prior to joining the Discovery Club team I worked at VANOC preparing and executing the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay, traveling 45,000 kms across Canada and ensuring 12,000 Torchbearers had the experience of a lifetime.
With an extensive travel background throughout 6 continents, I am excited to bring a limitless possibility of travel adventures to the destination club marketplace.

What our Members are saying...
Barcelo Maya Palace in the Mayan Riviera  |
"Our whole group had an excellent time at the Barcelo Maya Palace this year. It was especially convenient that all 5 rooms were next to each other... made socializing very easy. And of course socializing with family and friends is the main reason we go! So thank you for arranging our accommodations so perfectly!!
The food and drink and entertainment were all first class, and we have no complaints whatsoever. Altogether it was a fantastic vacation... thank you very much, again!"
