for April 4, 2013
   

I know your inboxes are full of contracts, reports and questions just waiting for you. You know - work. One of my clients shared with me that it was a treat to receive my emails with pictures of beautiful destinations and voyages. Gave her a chance to stop and breath.

 

I truly hope this is the same for you. Too many emails are annoying so I try to pack my newsletters full of ideas, trends and special offers that will delight and inspire you. Call me if something catches your eye.

 

 

Costa Rica
Costa Rica - No Artificial Ingredients
From Rainforests to Beaches

2013 has Costa Rica emerging as one of the hottest destinations. It is not too far to fly, still retains it's exotic allure and is a safe Central Amerca destination.  My favorite Costa Rica Specialist and I put our heads together to come up with a sample itinerary for you. Check it out. 

 

 

"A company is only as good as the people it keeps" - Mary Kay

Last week I met with the Canadian rep for Montana's The Ranch at Rock Creek, 8� hours south of Calgary. This luxury ranch is the perfect location to reward the people who make you look good. The Ranch is all inclusive and offers fly fishing, horseback riding, pistol shooting - you name it, they'll set it up. Want riding lessons, sporting clays, archery or paintball? ALL INCLUDED. The Saloon even has a bowling alley. And don't forget - if you book through me, you receive The Ranch's generous Virtuoso amenities. Read more...

Best Seats in the House

I have insider access to the most sought after tickets in New York, London, and around the world. Here's a sampling of just what my dedicated Virtuoso ticket sellers can offer you:

  • West End Theatre Experiences including The 39 Steps, Jersey Boys, The Lion King AND MORE!
  • Broadway dining packages
  • Plus transfers, sightseeing and tickets to attraction such as the Treasures of the Royal Courts: Tudors, Stuarts and the Russian Tsars in London.

Italian Murals & Gardens
I love teaming up with one of my favorite Destination Specialists in Italy because of their local knowledge and insider access. We can arrange off the beaten path visits to a marionette workshop where these little masterpieces are handcrafted. How about a visit with Jewellery Designer Marie Bagnasco at her 15th century palazzo, beautifully situated on the iconic Canale Grande? Her residence boasts murals that are definitely on my bucket list. From the Hemingway suite at the Gritti Palace to beautiful Venetian apartments, your trip will be a work of art. No matter where you travel in Italy, romantic or multi-generational, your vacation will flow easily and perfectly and you will be introduced to gardens, convents, restaurants and much more than tourists never see.

Secrets of the Salish Sea

Wines, Whales and Wonders of Vancouver Island's Salish Sea.

A Vision 2000 Exclusive!

This is a small eco-journey of 6 to 10 people exploring by foot, bike and kayak.

If you would like to join this small intimate group, email me for the complete itinerary. Only three 2013 departures.

 

 
NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans is usually associated with Mardi Gras or the Jazz Festival. But when I think of the Big Easy, my thoughts conjure up visions of voodoo, 'gaters, mysticism, decadence, and the exotic. I know, I've seen Streetcar Named Desire way too many times. There is just so much going on in this historic and culturally rich Louisiana city. Take a look at the National Geographic Traveler's Top 10 Things to Do in New Orleans.Want to join our women's group? Check out Cajun Queens. If you are a couple or a group, email me and we'll create an awesome itinerary for you.    
Did you know the term Cajun largely comes from the exiled French-speakers from Acadia in what are now the Canadian Maritimes.
