<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I had a very busy travel year. It took me around the world to new places and to places I have visited before. There are always new things to discover, new suppliers to meet, and new properties to visit. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In November, I traveled to Dubai and Abu Dhabi for the Virtuoso Chairman’s event, the travel consortium of which Gateway Travel is a member. This trip began with the luxurious experience of flying on Emirates Airlines. The service was wonderful and after a 12-hour direct flight from New York we arrived in Dubai. While there, we feasted on outstanding Middle Eastern, French, and continental cuisine, and visited superb hotels that boast every amenity imaginable. We were awed by the sights, including the incredible Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. An extra plus was having my sister join me and having the opportunity to share this adventure with her. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In February, I attended an informative Expo in Milan where I brushed up on the latest trends in Italian travel, met many new suppliers, learned about several interesting out of the way properties in the countryside, and connected with villa owners from all over the country. Biking and hiking tours are becoming more popular in Italy, and I made some good contacts in this area. This year our dollar is so much stronger, and this will reflect favorably in the prices of hotels as well as what you are spending for food and guides. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Two years in the making, nineteen of us from three generations visited South Africa for 12 days over the Christmas holiday to go on safari, visit the wine country, and tour around Cape Town. I’ve planned many multi-generational vacations in my long career, but I now have even more insight into the planning and logistics for such a large group with varied ages and interests. It is possible to please a preschooler, a teenager, a college student, and a grandparent! </span></div>

Each day we learned interesting facts about Cuba and its history, from Havana’s efforts to preserve its architectural and cultural heritage to the role tobacco has played in Cuban history.

Since South Africa is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are opposites ours at home. During winter in Michigan, it’s summer in South Africa and vice versa. South African winters are excellent for spotting animals due to the sparse foliage and their summers allow for more outdoor activities.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">My husband, Norm, and I found Buenos Aires to be a fascinating, sophisticated city– from the outdoor markets in the Recoleta District, to the brightly-colored buildings of La Boca, to the tango dancing in the streets! We stayed at the Four Seasons Buenos Aires, located in a beautiful residential area just off the tree-lined Avenido de Julio. The hotel offers sleek, modern hotel rooms and more traditional suites in the adjacent building, La Mansion. It also offers a heated outdoor pool, a full-service spa and a high-tech health club in addition to two wonderful restaurants.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We then moved on to Mendoza, the main wine-producing region of Argentina. We stayed at the Cavas Wine Lodge, located in a private 60-acre valley, in the center of a winery, at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Its understated elegance offers wine tastings, bodega hopping, hiking, and rafting. Each room has its own plunge pool and outdoor fireplace.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In mid-November 2014, I left for Casablanca, the doorway to an adventure, years in the making. My husband and I, along with a group of fellow adventurers were sponsored by Heritage Private Travel. We traveled across Morocco, taking roads that led to Fes and through the Atlas mountains, across the Sahara on the backs of camels, to the cities of Ouarzazate, and Marrakesh. I was amazed by the culture, the people, and the food.</span></div>
<div style="font: 8.5px Palatino; margin: 4.5px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We spent three nights in the medieval city of Fes at the Palais Amani, a beautiful Riad located in the medina. The medina has narrow alleys where you will find the Souq; the market where craftsmen sell dates, fish, spices and carpets. In Marrakesh, we were guests of the Amanjena Resort just outside the medina. The Amanjena is tranquil oasis, designed to echo the Berber villages in the High Atlas Mountains. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I was also able to visit many of the other Riads and luxury hotels in Marrakesh including the Four Seasons, La Mamounia, Palais Namaskar, the Royal Mansour and the Kasbah Tamadot. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Vietnam proved to be the highlight of a recent trip to south-east Asia that also included Laos and Cambodia. Those of us who remember the war there during the 1960’s and 1970’s might be surprised to hear it called locally the “American War”, and even more surprised to find that we are held in high regard by the Vietnamese. They are incredibly sweet, kind and friendly people. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">One of the most exciting adventures is a cyclo ride (kind of bicycle rickshaw) at dusk through the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City. What seems like a zillion motorbikes whiz past you from all directions, but somehow you survive!! A less harrowing but fascinating cyclo ride is through the narrow winding streets of old Hanoi, where each street is limited to a particular type of goods (shoes, for example, or paper or jewelry). It’s similar to the old part of Delhi in India. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Staying in the historic and elegant Sofitel Legend Metropole Hotel in Hanoi was as interesting as it was luxurious. A tour of the hotel included a recently unearthed bomb shelter under the pool, with photos and recordings of Joan Baez singing inside it during a raid. The Virtuoso amenities included a heavenly foot massage at their exquisite spa. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our custom tour operator arranged amazing people-to-people experiences for us. One day we visited the lovely home of a couple in the countryside. Our hostess prepared an outstanding home cooked lunch; then we were joined by three of her closest friends since childhood. They all serenaded us in a unique style that’s considered by UNESCO to be a World Heritage Cultural Treasure. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our final and best adventure was a private cruise aboard a luxury junk in Ha Long Bay. With our own guide and a crew of four (including a gifted chef), we sailed this magical area for two days and a night. No words can really describe it. About two thousand jagged “islands” bursting up into fantastical shapes out of an emerald sea. A sandy beach from which to kayak. A beautiful cave for picnics. Colorful floating fishing villages. This was a true once-in-a-lifetime “pinch-me” experience. I would recommend it for anyone, but for honeymooners, I can’t imagine a more private or romantic interlude. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">There are also some fabulous beach resorts in Vietnam and much, much more; Hue, Hoi An and Da Nang are a few of the high points. </span></div>

<div class="NoParagraphStyle" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;">Sacred to its native cultures, South America’s largest- and
highest navigable- lake sprawls along the border of southern Peru and western
Bolivia. More than 25 rivers empty into its reed-fringed shores, and the ruins
of centuries-old temples and dwellings occupy many of its mountain-marked
islands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Though hydrofoils, barges, steamships, and wooden rowboats
cruise its waters, Titicaca’s immensity means the lake radiates peace and
solitude. Framed by jagged Andean peaks, its limpid surface reflects
low-hanging clouds by day and a glittering, star-studded canvas at night. With
many of the lakes 41 islands considered sacred, descendants of the Incas still
pay homage at spots such as the Island of the Sun. Drawn by its bevy of birds,
ornithologists enthuse over Titicaca’s shores, and sightseers make cultural
visits to Isla Suriqui, where the art of reed-boat construction still survives.
A visit to the “floating islands,” an archipelago made entirely from totora
reeds is also a must.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Perhaps best maneuvered in a red Ferrari, the twisting roads
that fringe Lake Como define the region’s jet-set spirit. In summertime, the
lake is a veritable child’s toy-filled bathtub of activity, with Jet Skis,
sailboats, wind surfers, and swimmers splashing in its glacial waters. First
popularized by Victorian travelers, this resort destination retains some belle
epoque grandeur, exhibited in the architecture of shoreside villages such as
Bellagio, Tremezzo, and Como. Snazzy boutiques, waterfront eateries, and gelato
shops brim with hot-weather crowds, but romantic nooks can be found for those
who desire something more reclusive. End your day with an evening saunter along
the lakeside promenades.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

occupies the heart of a terrace-laced park. Providing lake views galore, this
art nouveau property proudly bears its heritage in drawing rooms and period

colors and an eclectic mix of modern art. Virtuoso guests can toast their stay
with a complimentary three-flight wine tasting at the hotel’s wine bar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: small;">Like a mirror, this turquoise lake reflects the towering pine

<span style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It takes commitment to make the trek here. Though far-flung,
the lake can still be reached by train as it was in the Victorian era, when
well-heeled travelers first christened the region a vacation wonderland,
popular for its hot springs. In the winter, tour the area aboard horse-drawn
sleigh- warmed by a buffalo robe and with hot chocolate in hand, of course- or
swirl across the nature-made ice rink on skates. Summertime transforms the spot
into a splashy playground: Bike or hike the lakeshore trail, with puts you
face-to-face with Victoria Glacier, a vista so beautiful that it’s impossible
to take a bad photo of it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">What exactly is it? It’s about being a traveler, not a tourist. It’s about identifying with other cultures, locations, and nature. It’s about sustainability and being responsible to the destinations – helping to make the world a better place, now, and for future generations through caring for the environment, protecting the cultural and natural heritage of a place, and contributing to the well-being of the local communities you visit.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Cherie Morganroth and Gerry Snapke took an Un-Cruise Adventure to Alaska. These small ship cruises (84 passengers on their ship) are perfectly suited to foster uncommon encounters and unexpected experiences in Alaska’s Inside Passage. With no ports in which to dock, this trip was all nature– hiking, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and skiffs. They kayaked right off the back of their ship and were surrounded by whales, porpoises, otters, and jelly fish! With passionate guides to lead the way, this trip is a unique and challenging way to see Alaska.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Backroads excels at orchestrating a stress-free trip with time together as a family and alone time with kids-only and parents-only activities. By the end of the week, the Zimmermans felt their kids gained an appreciation for nature, while bonding with the other families on the trip in a camp-like atmosphere. The incredible guides helped them step outside of their comfort zone to find a truly rewarding experience. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">For the traveler who has experienced the typical China tour of Beijing and Xian and would like to see a more undiscovered China, my recent trip is perfect. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I planned an itinerary that took us off the beaten path, and we saw more of the China you read about in travel magazines.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We began in Chengdu, visiting the home of the giant pandas. Native to central China, there are only 1,600 of these beautiful animals left. The Chengdu Panda Breeding Center works hard to keep the pandas well fed and support their reproduction to increase their population. We learned many panda facts, including that they eat bamboo 12 hours a day, and enjoyed watching them in their natural habitat. It was a worthwhile, interesting visit. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Two hours away, we drove and then took a boat to visit the Giant Buddha in Leshan. This Buddha was carved out of a cliff face overlooking the confluence of three rivers and is 233 feet high. It is the tallest Buddha statue in the world and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">After a short two-hour flight, we found ourselves in Lhasa, Tibet. Our home for the next three days was the beautiful St. Regis Hotel. This remote destination is one of the highest elevations in the world. At 12,000 feet above sea level, we definitely had to pace ourselves in our activities. We visited the beautiful Summer Palace, as well as the famous Potala Palace. It was a challenge to climb the 335 steps at high altitude. Inside the hilltop palace, there were beautiful antiques as well as artifacts from the 14 Dalai Lamas. We learned a lot about the cultural and spiritual history of Tibet. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Shangri-La, which is located in the Northwestern Yunnan Province, was our next stop. We felt much better coming down to 10,000 feet! This area was written about in the novel <i>Lost Horizon</i> and had become known as a Himalayan utopia. The people there live much longer lives than others and appear much younger than their years. We were excited to visit a Tibetan home to learn about the lifestyle of the people who live there. The homes are built in levels with the bottom level for their animals so they do not freeze outdoors in the winter. A highlight was having Yak milk tea and bread with the lady of the house. Although we could not communicate, she was very charming and hospitable. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Moving south, we stopped in Lijiang which was also in the Yunnan Province. Lijiang is a stunningly preserved ancient Chinese town connected by bridges and waterways. More than 800 years old, the town takes visitors back into time- except for the few fast food restaurants that have been added! Nearby was the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and we relished the fantastic views from The Banyan Tree Resort.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Our final stop was Shanghai. The largest city in China, its population is now over 24 million people. The Bund, a bustling waterfront area, has many upscale hotels, great options for dining and fun shopping. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This was a culturally interesting trip, brimming with surprises, beautiful scenery, open and friendly people, and Chinese food prepared in so many different ways. From the mountains to the lakes, from the villages to the big cities, we were not disappointed by this great adventure. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I recently took an amazing vacation to South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana to celebrate my 50th birthday. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We began our journey in Cape Town, staying at the One & Only and Cape Grace, both Virtuoso properties located at the V & A Waterfront. We spent our days in Cape Town visiting Table Mountain, Winelands, and Cape Point.</span></div>
<div style="font: 8.5px Palatino; margin: 4.5px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It was then on to the highlight of the trip— The Safaris. </span></div>
<div style="font: 8.5px Palatino; margin: 4.5px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Starting in South Africa, we stayed at four beautiful Virtuoso lodges– Camp Jabulani, Singita Lebombo, Singita Ebony, and Londolozi. We did two game drives a day, saw all of the big 5, and were lucky enough to see a kill. The food and lodging were all outstanding.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We spent one night in Zambia at Toka Leya, a tented camp on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, highlights being the Hippos, and of course, Victoria Falls.</span></div>
<div style="font: 8.5px Palatino; margin: 4.5px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">On to Botswana and a stay at Little Vumbura, a tented camp on an island in the Okavango Delta. You arrive at the camp by boat. There are just six luxury tents, run by a husband and wife that can’t do enough for you. We tracked a leopard for over an hour that was scaling trees 30 feet in the air, unsuccessfully hunting for a meal.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It was an incredible, awe-inspiring journey.</span> </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This year a trip with friends, relatives, and clients took us to Alaska. We cruised from Vancouver to Seward on the Celebrity Millennium, allowing us to see the highlights of the coast and cities of Ketchikan, Juneau, Icy Strait, and Skagway. </span></div>
<div style="font: 8.5px Palatino; margin: 4.5px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Excursions are a must for Alaska, so we planned several in advance. By doing this, we were able to see the wildlife of the area including bears, whales, and eagles and the unspoiled beauty of Alaska, including the glaciers.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The extension by land, after our cruise, took us to Denali National Park and the quaint town of Talkeetna, which is nestled at the base of North America’s highest peak, Mt. McKinley. This was a highlight of the trip. We lucked out with weather and became part of The 30% Club; meaning we were able to see Mt. McKinley in full view and all its magnificence. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">While in Denali, we viewed brown bears, caribou, a bull Moose, fox, and dall sheep. A visit to Husky Homestead, home of four-time Iditarod champ Jeff King, gave us insight into the training of the Alaskan Huskies and what it takes to run the “World’s Toughest Race”. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This past September, I traveled to Italy with my sons and their families. Since I was born in Italy, I am always eager to share my love of the country with them. This time, instead of visiting the big cities, we opted for a week long tour of the gorgeous Italian Lakes Region. Trafalgar’s itinerary was wonderful. From Lake Maggiore to Lake Lugano to Lake Como, we were awe-struck by spectacular views of Alpine peaks. We also visited the romantic Verona, beautiful Lake Garda, the town of Brescia, and ended our scenic journey in Milan.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Peru is a popular destination for travelers of all ages. Hosted by Belmond, I was thrilled to experience this wonderful country. While visiting Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley, I stayed at beautiful Belmond properties and had fantastic private tours by their interesting and knowledgeable guides. Hiking Machu Picchu at sunrise was incredible, as was taking the elegant Hiram Bingham train to Cusco. I enjoyed the stunning landscape, learning about the rich history of the Incas, and meeting the friendly locals. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">My husband, Burton, and I had a fabulous time being Virtuoso Voyager Club hosts to 113 wonderful guests aboard the Crystal Serenity on a cruise that began in Rome and ended in London. In twelve nights, we visited Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, and Gibraltar. Our Virtuoso tour was a private visit to the exclusive Quinta de Santana Wine Estate just outside of Lisbon, Portugal, and of course, was a highlight for us all. Another highlight was learning about the remarkable history of the Rock of Gibraltar.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">Only </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">recently have American tourists been allowed to travel to Cuba. The only way to do this is on a People-to-People program. There are now several licensed tour operators offering these education-based, insightful visits, with a focus on personal encounters with Cuban artists, farmers, fisherman, doctors, or other locals. You must agree to take part in a busy, highly organized tour with very little free time. The tour company takes care of all paperwork and Visas needed to enter the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"> U.S. dollars, credit cards and debit cards are not accepted in Cuba. You must bring cash that can be exchanged into Cuban pesos to use while visiting. The average wage is $40.00 a month (including their professionals). Because of this, tipping is expected and needed for them to survive. Expect to tip for just about everything.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> My first reaction to my recent visit was, “I’ve stepped back into the 1960’s”. Just a brief 35 minute flight from Miami and you are in the world some of us knew many years ago. I really did not know what to expect, so I really had to pinch myself many times that something so very different was just beyond our shores.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">Havana is a high-energy city with its colonial buildings, friendly people, and mixed heritage. You see horse and buggy taxis and some of the most beautiful old classic cars. It was like Detroit’s own Dream Cruise on steroids! We traveled with Latour, a division of IsramWorld, and our group, though small in number, was very diverse. Although we were told that we had to travel daily with the group program in its entirety, we were allowed to travel freely every evening to explore Havana at night. Our group stayed at the five-star Meli</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;">á</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18px;"> Habana Hotel. However, the Cuban version of a five-star hotel is vastly different than our version. We came to learn that Latour had definitely picked the best hotels on the island.</span></div>

traveled to Cienfuegos for two additional nights to experience life outside of
Havana. We met warm people and saw beautiful colored buildings, cobblestone
streets, and, yes, more fabulous vintage cars!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

regime of Raoul Castro, Cubans were finally allowed to venture into some free
enterprise. While the government-run restaurants were acceptable, we found that
the newly opened paladares (private restaurants) were on a par with any big

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A London landmark situated in the heart of the city’s West End district at the corner of Green Park, The Ritz has been home to thousands of guests since 1906. After a recent multi-million dollar renovation, The Ritz is now more elegant than ever. The French-inspired décor evokes an era of old-world opulence. They even relaxed their formal dress code to be more amenable to today’s traveler. Traditional afternoon tea is an institution in itself and is served daily in The Palm Court. Reservations are a must!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Located in the heart of London in quaint St. James’s, The Stafford is a remarkable setting, surprisingly discreet and peaceful. After a 2007 renovation, the hotel is now comprised of three separate properties situated around a cobbled courtyard, with three contrasting styles of rooms and suites; the elegant Main House, the contemporary Mews Suites, and the charming Carriage House. A compelling history lies within the hotel’s 380-year-old vaulted wine cellars. A unique setting for private functions and complimentary wine tastings and tutorials, this working cellar holds over 10,000 bottles of wine. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After a two-year head-to-toe renovation, the Four Seasons reopened in 2011. Surrounded by greenery in the heart of Mayfair, the hotel has incredible views of Westminster and Hyde Park from their 10th floor glass-walled spa and fitness center. The redesigned, expanded rooms are modern and sleek in décor. Of the 193 guest rooms, an entire floor is dedicated to suites with one-, two-, and three-bedroom options featuring fireplaces and private terraces. Their dining facility, Amaranto, is a single destination with three different areas– restaurant, bar and lounge–serving an Italian-inspired menu. In addition, they have extensive children’s amenities from games to books to babysitting. The Four Seasons also has properties at Canary Wharf and Hampshire.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Family-run for over a century, the Goring has welcomed Heads of State, World Leaders, and most recently, the Middleton family on the eve of the Royal Wedding. A fair proportion of the sixty-nine rooms and suites overlook the hotel’s quiet, private garden. The quintessentially English charm and character is captured in the bedroom décor with intricate silk wallcoverings that each have a storied place in English history. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city traffic in Belgravia, this boutique hotel has exceptional dining, a lively cocktail bar, and a special children’s program.</span></span></div>

<div style="font: 10.0px Nobel; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Gateway Team decided it was time for a trip across the pond to the beautiful city of London for our annual familiarization trip. There have been several new hotel openings in the past few years and many of the tried and true establishments have undergone major renovations and refurbishments. Sixteen of us set off on an action packed weekend to experience and inspect twelve incredible <b>Virtuoso</b> properties. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Our hosts were more than hospitable and extremely generous, treating us to some of the finest dining and lodging available in the city. We found that each hotel, unique in its own way, offers visitors a different London experience, from style of décor to amenities to location. In between hotel inspections and afternoon tea, we took a fantastic city tour led by NoteWorthy, a Virtuoso on-site. With their relationships and expert knowledge of London, they are able to arrange interesting private tours for our clients. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The weekend was a tremendous learning experience for us all and we’re ready to put this knowledge to good use in planning your next trip to London!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">See the following 3 posts for information on all the fabulous <b>Virtuoso</b> properties we visited! We certainly were BUSY!</span></div>

the white continent. It is remote. It is the highest, driest, emptiest and
coldest place on Earth. It has just two seasons–summer and winter. It is
considered a desert as it receives very little rain or snowfall. There are
beautiful etched out glaciers and an ice surface that can be blinding. No
permanent human residents reside here, but throughout the year there are
visiting scientists scattered at research stations across the continent. They
work on unique projects related to ice, weather, penguins, whales, and seals.
This is Antarctica. In mass, it is larger than the United States. And,

incredible opportunity to visit Antarctica this winter (their summer). The
typical way to reach the continent is cruising by boat from Ushuaia, which is a
southern port of Argentina. This route sails you through the Drake Passage for
two days each way. It is a very rough body of water because it is where the
Atlantic meets the Pacific. My group and I took a different route.</span></div>

Chile, we took a three-hour flight to Punta Arenas, the furthest point in
Chile. There, we were met by the staff of Antarctica XXI. They organized a very
comfortable cargo jet that landed right into a base camp on Prince George
Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was easy and cut four “travel” days
out of the journey by allowing us to bypass sailing the Drake Passage. This is
a great advantage as it gives travelers more time to visit other parts of South
America; like Patagonia, Santiago, or Valparaiso, as an add-on to a minimum
five-day visit in Antarctica. </span></div>

fresh air greeted us upon arrival. We took a twenty-minute walk to the water’s
edge where we boarded Zodiacs to take us to the Ocean Nova, our home for this
adventure. The ship was an expedition type that holds 68 passengers. I enjoyed
the very knowledgeable and interesting speakers and guides. The meals on the
ship were impressive, as the staff has to deal with limited supplies being able
to reach them. We dined on delicious soups, salads, and, of course, fish.</span></div>

took two outings to the various islands, lasting from 2-3 hours each. We
boarded our Zodiacs with our wellies, warm jackets, and three layers of
clothing and had fantastic sightings of penguins, seals, and whales. I
can still hear the sounds of the penguins squawking and talking to each other.
Watching the interaction of the adult penguins with their babies was fascinating;
especially feeding them and teaching them to swim. It was a delight to behold.
I was also surprised how big the seals were up close. We stopped at three base
camps, each governed by a different country, and visited with scientists. It
struck me how alone they are while living on this vast, empty continent. They
can go weeks without a shipment of supplies, so they must be prepared! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">In October of 2013, my wife
and I journeyed to what we know as the Far Side of the World. With only
ourselves, our backpacks, and five weeks to explore, we knew something
incredible would lie ahead. We were fortunate enough to see four
Countries, eleven different destinations and endless sights along the way!

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">From The Seoul, of South
Korea, to the Bangkok Street Markets, we enjoyed the city lights until the islands
of Thailand began to call our name. With the most incredible turquoise teal
waters cascading around the rock karsts and hidden beaches of Krabi, to the
skyscrapers of Singapore, Southeast Asia had much more in store than what our
imaginations had dreamed. To end such a journey we ventured to the exotic
island of Bali, Indonesia to find our last moments of Zen and tranquility
before our return home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Each destination had it’s
own unique manner about it, and rightfully so, being that we stayed in varying
style accommodations in each location. I hope a brief walk through the journey
will draw the imagination and leave you with hopes of a wanderlust moment to
look forward to in the future yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

South Korea where we stayed in a boutique hotel called “The Metro” in the
Myungdong area which was centrally located. Within walking distance we
saw two of Seoul’s most popular attractions such as the “National Folk Museum
of Korea” and a hike to the top of the “Seoul Tower” soaring high above the
city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">After Seoul we headed to
the central hub of Southeast Asia. Bangkok, Thailand, where we
stayed in a little Guest House known as “Urban house” which was cozy and
quaint, located within a business district and nighttime street market in the
city. From that location we were able to walk or take a Tuk-Tuk all
throughout the city with ease and access to everything. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">After the hustle and
bustle of Thailand's capital city of Bangkok, we decided to take a short island
hopper flight to the much quieter island of Ko Samui, Thailand. We stayed
oceanfront on one of the islands most incredible slices of beach known as
Crystal Bay, hence the name “Crystal Bay Resort”. A smaller property with
some of the best real estate on the island, it’s an excellent location for
exploring the many waterfalls or hidden beaches.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">From the island of Ko
Samui, we flew to the Krabi province located on the west coast of Southern
Thailand. Once we arrived in Krabi, we took a long-tail boat to an area
known as Railay Bay, only accessible by boat ferry. Railay Bay is a group
of two spectacular cliffside beaches and one hidden gem known as Phra Nang
Beach. While there we stayed at the “Railay Bay Beach Resort” which was
located between Railay Bay East and West, allowing us access to both sides of
the peninsula.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Next, it was off to Phi
Phi Don Island and the Uninhabited Phi Phi Lee (For all you movie lovers out
there, this is the location where the movie “The Beach” was filmed). After a
short 40-person speedboat ferry ride from Railay Bay, we arrived on Phi Phi
Don. Located between Krabi and Phuket, its truly one of the most
incredible islands on earth. Two Crescent shaped bays with one conjoining
piece of sand connecting the two make up Phi Phi Don Island. A true
Adventure Island, with many boat tours and island excursions available to suit
everyone’s needs. We chose to stay at the “Phi Phi Island Cabana Resort”
for its central location to town and value for a luxury resort.</span></div>

through the Phi Phi Islands, we were yet again crossing the Andaman Sea, only
this time off to the garden lush isle of Phuket, Thailand. From the ferry
docks on the southeastern end of the island, to the Mai Khao area of Phuket, we
made our way to “Anantara Phuket Villas”. Nothing other than “A True
Luxury Experience” can describe our stay here. Anantara Phuket Villas are
a Virtuoso property and their expertise is 100% excellence throughout your
entire stay. Before you even step foot into your own “private pool lagoon
side villa”, you’re shown incomparable standards of service. From hand
picking your very own style of pillow to personalized evenings of dockside
dinners under the stars, Anantara delivers on all notes. The property
itself is a truly unique destination with private lagoons, banyan treehouse
lounges, and private golf cart concierges to take you around the property.
Virtuoso standards consider each and every detail of service and go above and
beyond to enhance every aspect of your stay!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">After a marvelous time in
Phuket, Thailand we flew direct to “Singapore”, the land of incredible
architecture. Here we found ourselves in a completely different style
accommodation, a hostile. In an area known as Little India in the heart
of Singapore lies “The Vintage Inn”, a hostile with style. A group of
four friends set out to provide the most accommodating and hospitable business,
and they’re doing just that! Within walking distance from the Vintage Inn
is direct access to the MRT underground rail system, which connects all
throughout Singapore. While visiting the city we ventured to one of the most
jaw dropping buildings on earth “Marina Bay Sands”, with its three pillars and
large floating ship design, it was considered one of the most “difficult
designs to carry out in the entire world”. We also took advantage of a
traditional “Singapore Sling” at the world famous “Long Bar”, the original
birthplace of the cocktail. Staying in the Little India section of Singapore
was definitely a cultural experience to remember and memory I’ll never
forget. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">For the final leg of our
itinerary we ended our journey in the exotic island of Bali, Indonesia, known
to some as the “center of the universe” or the “island of the gods”, with a
large religious practicing of Hinduism being practiced along side Buddhism. Celebrations
and festivals happen all throughout the year and are prevalently seen in how
the majority of the island lives. Our first stop and stay in Bali was Ubud,
a village considered to be the art center of Bali. In Ubud, our
accommodations were at “The Payogan” a hillside setting of private pool villas
overlooking the rural jungles. While in Ubud, we took day tours to the
infamous “temple on the lake”, visited one of Bali’s largest waterfalls, and
also the ever so breathtaking “Jatiluwih Rice Terraces”. To see what Bali
had to offer both inland and near the water’s edge, we decided for the final
destination to move down near the beach in the Benoa/Nusa Dua area for those
final bit of sunrays and ocean breezes. While here we stayed at the
“Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso” which felt very similar to a Caribbean
styled open-air resort. Bali as a whole was more than just a destination, but
rather a feeling. An island in which meditation and well-being far
surpass wealth and power.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">As the wanderlust is
subdued by fresh memories of ocean air, city streets, and island
adventures, it’s only a matter of time before the desire to travel and explore
the globe will set in once again. Our journey to the “Far Side of the
World” has given both my wife and I a new found respect for not only the
culture we learned about, but the one we came back home to, as well.</span></div>

I’ve skied most of my life and have had the opportunity to
ski at resorts around the world. Telluride’s terrain is awesome. Having some of
the best mogul runs in the country and on the backside, there is Revelation
Bowl, a true treeless bowl which accommodates most ski abilities. The weekend I
went in February, Telluride received over 35” of fresh powder. It bought smiles
from everyone including locals who couldn’t resist skiing in these perfect
conditions. Even so, the longest wait I had all weekend was no more than 15
minutes, with most lift line wait times under 5 minutes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The resort is surrounded by a charming town rich in old West
history from Butch Cassidy’s first bank robbery to the sacred valley of the Ute
Indians. Population hovers around 2,300 year- round residents. There are numerous
upscale shops, restaurants and bars. Telluride has been home to many
celebrities and lift 10 is known as the “real estate run,” where you ride above
their beautiful mountain estates.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a free
gondola that runs until midnight every night that takes you from town to
Allred’s Restaurant,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>mid-station
at an attitude of 10,551 feet. It is a must dine experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gondola ends at Mountain Village, a
newer area of the resort that is home to world class resorts. Two of which are
Virtuoso boutique properties; Hotel Madeline and Inn at Lost Creek, which was
my home for the weekend. They both offer ski valets that will take, store and
warm your boots for your next mornings’ runs. No need to lug any equipment off
the hill.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Telluride is a little more difficult to get to than other
western ski areas, but with one connection from Detroit it’s totally worth it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*Picture shows me taking a break from skiing and trying
snowshoeing for the first time. Five hours and 3 miles later, it was quite the
workout in knee high powder.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tahiti is 6
hours behind EST; an 8.5hour flight from Los Angeles. Upon arrival into Papeete
Tahiti, a quick ferry transfer to Moorea, I spent my time exploring this lush
tropical island. A stay at the InterContinental Moorea Resort seemed popular
among the families; featuring their Swim with the Dolphins Center located on
site. The Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort, features beachside villas with private
plunge pools for those wanting more privacy as an alternate to the over-water
bungalow. For those with conflicting flight schedules, a stay at the
InterContinental Tahiti Resort less than 10 minutes from the Papeete airport is
a convenient option.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having stayed
for 7 nights gave me a chance to “get my feet wet” about this destination that
I’ve longed to visit for some time. I’d encourage others to “get their feet
wet” as well and contact me so I can help plan a journey to this beautiful
destination. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This was our honeymoon trip and it was perfect! Maui is an absolutely beautiful place with lots to offer! It is great for families and for couples, especially if it is your honeymoon! We took surf lessons; snorkeled; went on a helicopter ride around the volcano and the rain forest; and had a beautiful luau! We stayed at The Westin and was able to book everything right at the hotel. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone! Our experience with Gateway Travel was excellent. Dianne was right on top of things and made everything easy for us!</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Laura and Rob Kremer ventured to Costa Rica for their week long honeymoon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Here is what they had to say:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;">The picture below was taken at our last stop, in the Clouds wildlife reserve. We were feeding them pieces of fruit. This was definitely one of my favorite parts of the trip. We both agreed our number one excursion was the white water rafting followed by the zip line trip! The views were beautiful and the people were nice and hospitable. We were also both very surprised at how clean and environmentally responsible Costa Rica is. They pride themselves on using clean energy and actually have a negative carbon imprint (meaning they make up for pollution countries like us put in the world).</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Buenos tardes, Vivian!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We arrived home safely Friday evening from our adventures in Spain. Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful itinerary, even Mark was wowed :) Spain exceeded my expectations, so rich in history and culture. All our tour guides were phenomenal, but Cristina in Madrid was exceptional. I am now listening to & enjoying the audiobook Don Quixote, at her recommendation. As you can see from the photo, Mark & Rich enjoyed the camel ride.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"We enjoyed the entire experience- from the time they picked us up at the airport to the time they dropped us off- the staff did everything possible to make our experience enjoyable! Our accommodations and the food were great! Our activities ranged from horseback riding, river rafting and hiking, to spending time at the lake house, having a girls afternoon at the spa and a chuck wagon dinner. We had three generations- and it was really a dream vacation!"</span><br />
