Greetings!
There's something about the rich, warm colours of fall leaves that conjures up the spicy fragrances and bright silks of Asia.
So, it's perhaps no surprise that Asia should be the destination of our travel dreams this month.
This month, Kyla shares our Top 5 Picks for Asian Destinations, and we feature some truly spectacular affiliates to stir your own travel musings.
We would also like to introduce you to our new member and Club Spokesperson, Kelly Hrudey (former NHLer and CBC Hockey Commentator).
You've likely noticed that this September newsletter is reaching you a bit late, and please accept our apologies for that, but this is definitely an issue not to be missed.
Cheers!
Kevin & Shawna Walker

Our Recommendation
By Therese Eley, Director of Member Services
With such a vast and fascinating landscape of travel opportunities available in Asia, I found it impossible to limit our recommendation to only one hotel, so I have expanded our recommendations to a glittering example in each of the five countries Kyla featured in her article.
These are truly some of the most stunning hotels in our collection, and indeed the world... they are each worth taking the time to dream about, believe me!
