In this issue, we start our world-wide tour<br />

in wonderful East Asia visiting beautiful<br />

Japan as we explore the exciting Tokyo<br />

Island of Hachijojima. Next, we swing south<br />

to enjoy the best of Western Japan traveling<br />

through big cities, small towns and into the<br />

rural areas to experience relaxing Onsens,<br />

watch entertaining traditional theatre, walk<br />

along the dunes, visit a historic Shinto shrine<br />

and taste wonderful fine Japanese gastronomy.<br />

Onwards to China, where we visit the fairytale<br />

Watertown of Gubai, climb the incredible<br />

Wall of China at Simatai ending up in the<br />

exciting city of Beijing and visiting its legendary<br />

Forbidden City and many other great<br />

points of interest.<br />

Next, we get a ‘Thailand Trifecta’ by visiting<br />

three wonderful and contrasting areas in<br />

Phuket, Chiang Mai and Bangkok. While on<br />

the on the peninsula, we head on down to<br />

tour a ‘Wonderfully Diverse Malaysia’ and<br />

then onward to find Singapore has both<br />

Creativity and Innovation. Last Asian stop is<br />

the ‘The Heart of Bali’ to Ubud for<br />

Indonesian culture and relaxation.<br />

We then jet-off for the European leg of our<br />

voyage. In the very far north we enjoy a luxury<br />

cruise with Viking through the most popular<br />

Baltic capitals and end up in Norway. In<br />

Northern Ireland, we find the shine and<br />

experience the best that Derry-Londonderry<br />

has to offer.<br />

Much further south, near the tip of the continent,<br />

we visit the less traveled and quaint<br />

Region of Basilicata and this year’s European<br />

Capitol of Culture in the historic and charming<br />

hill town of Matera.<br />

In Spain, we head to Romantic Seville to find<br />

it ‘Full of History and Excitement’. Being so<br />

close to Africa, we take another cruise, this<br />

time to Morocco on the Seabourn Odyssey<br />

and discover the amazing city of Marrakech.<br />

To the Americas we go. In Canada, we have<br />

‘A Winter Hoot on Amherst Island’ in Ontario<br />

as we get blinded by beautiful Snowy Owls.<br />

To warmer climes, we pack the car and head<br />

straight south on a road trip through the<br />

states to where the highway ends and take in<br />

the sunshine and warm weather of the<br />

Florida Keys. In Orlando, we eat our way<br />

through the best eateries and live diner clubs<br />

this magical city has to offer.<br />

Onto the Caribbean, we take two more cruises,<br />

first is a refreshing two day trip to the<br />

beautiful Grand Bahama Island with<br />

Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line. Next we sail<br />

the old fashioned way on a masted tall ship<br />

with Star Clippers to the best islands in the<br />

Lesser Antilles.<br />

Finally, we head to Central America and in<br />

Puerto Vallarta we get mesmerized from way<br />

up high by the Papantla Flyers and in<br />

Panama we head to Gatun Lake for more<br />

great wildlife sightings.<br />

Happy travels!<br />
