Dear fellow traveling families,

Now is the time to go to Europe!

Happy Holidays!

Looking back, it's been our busiest year to date at Quivertree, and looking forward to 2015 we see a lot of exciting travel news.

Europe is really looking appealing for 2015. The Euro has dropped enormously, and this means that we have some of the most attractive pricing we have seen in a number of years. Spain, Portugal. Italy, France and Greece are all in the Euro zone, so we urge you to take advantage. The same applies to Japan, where a ten day family trip can now be had for about 40% cheaper than in previous years!

Indonesia is our new Asian destination for January 2015, and we will be sending out a separate newsletter dedicated to this country of orang utangs, dragons, beaches and culture. Perennially popular Greece is a new destination too!

Iceland - a spectacular family destination! Adam, Debbie, Gabriel and Madelyn enjoying the Blue Lagoon. You can go there directly on arrival at the airport - what a way to start a trip!

Family trip to Spain

Libby traveled to Spain with her kids, Margaret, John and Anne.

Libby told us: "We had a great trip. Thanks so much for all your wonderful planning and advice. We loved all the tour guides and really appreciated the careful thought that went into choosing the accommodations. I felt really safe all the time, which was a relief as it was only me and the kids.

Spain was such a great learning opportunity with the incredibly varied history and the amazing sights, art and architecture from every period. And there was something for everyone - Jack loved the soccer stadiums; Annie was enthralled with the castles, and Maggie got to do some bird watching outside Barcelona. And of course as it was summer, the Costa Brava was a fun break! We will be back soon on our next Quivertree trip." (And they will - the family is going on an exciting multigenerational trip to the Galapagos in March!)

Photos from recent Quivertree trips to Europe

Quivertree families have been very busy traveling to Europe recently. Here are some trip photos!

Madelyn relaxing at a waterfall in Iceland - a spectacular country packed with activities. Lisa, Warren, Bob, Cindy, Laurie and Shimon went to the Greek island of Rhodes and are seen here exploring the ancient city walls.

John, Jackie, Declan, Jade and Conor (below) did a fantastic trip to Italy including Puglia and Rome.

And for good measure, Philip was in Spain. He's pictured here at Real Madrid's famous Bernabeu stadium and at Segovia's 2,000 year old, 13 mile long aqueduct!
