October 2015–Special Offers & Travel News
Hi all:October has brought around some great last-minute offers for those of you with flexibility! And the dollar is still strong against the euro: as of this writing 1E = $1.14.

Some Final Thoughts–
- The good old USA has plenty to see! Every year I have clients go on a Tauck National Parks tour, such as America’s Canyonlands, and they rave about it. Tauck has expanded their Parks itineraries for 2016 and have Ken Burns tours as well.
- The Rocky Mountaineer is a luxury train through the Pacific Northwest and also the Canadian Rockies that people are also crazy about.
- There are wonderful family-friendly resorts and romantic boutique properties throughout the US that will surprise and delight you. I will be visiting Salamander next week, down in Middleburg VA so check out our website in the Travel Blog section as I will write a review and post some pics.
I have a lot of travel coming up in Nov/Dec and will be posting on the website and in various social media so look out for me! Updates on Disney World, South Beach, the brand new NCL megaship ESCAPE, and a flying safari through Botswana are all on the way.
As always, we are ready for all your luxury travel planning needs.
Enjoy the cool crisp weather of October!
