Sundowner: Autumn/Winter 2018

Tales from the Road
LOVE TRAVEL? SO DO WE! READ ON FOR A ROUND-UP OF WHERE WE (AND SOME OF
OUR CLIENTS) HAVE GONE AND WHAT WE’VE ALL BEEN UP TO SO FAR THIS YEAR...
AND THE WINNER WAS...
Late last year, we ran a writing competition for children on the
topic of ‘my favourite holiday experience’. The talented winner, Maya,
aged 9½, submitted a story about the time her family went to Thailand,
which impressed our panel of judges with its creativity and eloquence.
The prize was a five-night family holiday in Oman to be enjoyed this
year, staying at the Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara and the
Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort.
Maya and her family enjoyed all that Oman offers: sun, sea, sand,
scenery, and sights. From canyons to coral reefs, bazaars to forts, and
with year-round sunshine, amazing facilities and a reasonable flight
time, it’s the perfect choice for half-term or Easter holiday getaways.
Well done, Maya (and thanks for the fab photos of your holiday).
