Dear Travelers:

 

The gift of travel is one that endures, entertains and enriches. Whether a gift to yourself or for a loved one, the moments you make stepping out of the ordinary and experiencing another world create colorful life histories and stories to cherish.

Southern Charm

 
  

I just returned from a quick jaunt to Charleston and Savannah organizing the final details for our spring tour. Unlike many women's tour companies who send you on tours arranged for them by big tour operators, we do our own thoughtful research ,our own careful editing,and our own creative curating to give you the best women's travel experiences; "luxe with value"! Our world resources set us apart and you, I'm sure, will note the difference. Not certain I tried the fried okra.....perhaps pecan crusted catfish & collard greens.....and most definitely a slice of pecan pie. Join us this spring when Southern gardens are blooming.

Trio of Greek Islands

 

We are extending summer and traveling to Greece next September. The islands offer much to discover and we will savour our days on Santorini, Paros and Crete. We arrive in Athens and fly directly to Crete. From Crete we ferry to Santorini in the above photo and then visit Paros. A delightful journey for a quintessential experience. Greece details will be in our next newsletter.

 

Gift Certificates 

 

For a mother and daughter jaunt, sisters, or friends, you will be sure to please if you send them a Serendipity Traveler gift certificate. Surprise someone you love.

 

 

 

From Dublin To Dingle

 

If you like stunning scenery, quaint and comfortable historical homes for sleeping, delicious cooking, mythical mountains, walking, shopping, gardens, lakes and coastal villages, Ireland will delight all your senses. The best summer air fares are found now so I encourage you to reserve and look forward to this gentle trip through Southern Ireland.

Women's Travel Tip

 

From my travel notes; a new site to search for your airfares. As indicated, if traveling overseas, I encourage booking directly with the airline. However, fare shopping can be a happy time here....... www.routehappy.com.

  

 

Inspiration   

 

 

"Now the Work of Christmas Begins" composed by Howard Thurman, an African-American theologian, educator, and civil rights leader.

 

When the song of the angel is stilled

When the star in the sky is gone,

When the kings and princes are home

When the shepherds are back with their flocks

The work of Christmas begins:

to find the lost,

to heal the broken,

to feed the hungry,

to release the prisoner,

to rebuild the nations,

to bring peace on earth,

to make music in the heart.

 

 

Wishing all Joy!
