Sandals Barbados, The Carnival Triumph (a sepcial departure)... and more...

Travel News for November 2014

Hi All,

I've had such a busy fall, it seems to have zoomed by!

I was lucky enough to be invited on a trip to Antigua by the Tourist Board and then attend our TPI Annual Conference held, this year, in Mexico. Between the two, I visited many hotels and talked to somewhere close to 60 suppliers! Over the next couple of newsletters, I will be sure to share some of it with you.

In this issue, we look at a fabulous special itinerary on the Carnival Triumph, Sandals Barbados and train travel in Canada...not to mention a few tidbits!

As always, grab a beverage, put your feet up and enjoy!
