Dear fellow traveling families,
It's time to book those last minute summer trips!

If you haven't booked your family summer vacation yet, it's still not too late!

Some last minute suggestions: Peru - with Machu Picchu, the Amazon and fascinating culture, or incredible Iceland - packed with adventure and now easily connected to US and Canadian cities with Icelandair's direct flights to Reykjavik. Guatemala offers up a a feast of jungles, ruins and colonial cities, while Vietnam is a kaleidoscope of color, history, beaches and fascinating cities. August in South Africa is the best time of year for that once-in-a-lifetime family safari and don't rule out low season travel -  Myanmar and India offer excellent prices and many incredible places to visit (without getting wet).

Family trip to Ecuador!
Renee, Mark, Ethan and William traveled to Ecuador. 
"Thank you Philip and Quivertree for planning a truly amazing adventure! It is hard to imagine how we could have possibly packed so many experiences so seamlessly into our 10 day trip on our own. Our trip to Ecuador covered so much from exploring the colonial gem of Quito, to climbing the highest active volcano in the world, to canoeing, river-rafting and hiking through the Amazon basin rainforest, to relaxing in natural hot springs in a remote mountainous setting. The cultural experiences were personal and authentic as were the markets where the indigenous people gathered to trade animals, food and clothing.  Having always planned and travelled independently in the past we were skeptical to have a company plan our trip. We can honestly say that this was a real, unique "traveling" trip and not just a regular packaged holiday. By the end we were exhausted from packing it all in but in the best way!  Thank you so much for making it all happen!

Safe Travels,

The Havens Family"

Recent Quivertree family trip photos
Quivertree families recently have been busy traveling the world! First up Jeff, Marcia, Samantha and Abbie visited Myanmar.

Below, Teri, Matt, Liam and Kelvin went to Guatemala. Here they are at our chocolate making workshop in Antigua - the boys loved it!
 
Next, Jeff, Christy, Maisey and Lincoln were in Morocco. Jeff said "the pottery was the highlight for Maisey and Rachid, the master potter, made it a memorable experience."
And here the family enjoys a delicious picnic lunch while hiking in the mountains.

Barb and Diane, below at fantastic Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel region of New Zealand's North Island MUST be our most intrepid travelers. Barb might possibly be our oldest traveler in age but certainly not at heart! Diane said it" was a dream trip, could not have been more perfect!" 

David, Michele, Nicole and Christopher were also in Ecuador. Here they are, a little chilly, up on Volcan Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano in the world!
