We've been on a longer hiatus than expected, but now we're back bringing you the kind of travel news you've been asking for.

Looking for the ultimate escape?
There are many things in this world that make me truly happy. Most of them have something to do with family and travel… that includes staying in touch with you. With that in mind, I’m thrilled to report that we have started updating TravelAnne.com and that you’ll be seeing our newsletters again on a regular basis.
We ended up taking a longer sabbatical than originally planned. Mostly because all of us are traveling again and keeping me busy! I have now talked to many of you in person. If we haven’t connected, don’t be afraid to pick up the phone. I love hearing from you!
Despite the Covid alphabet many have patiently braved the inconvenient testing and form filling and traveled beyond our borders. You felt such a sense of relief and pure enjoyment in getting “back in the saddle!” You also were rewarded by fewer crowds. Experiences just felt more genuine….or you were dreaming of it for so long that it felt that way!
As you can well imagine there truly IS pent up demand. Tour operators and cruise lines have long hold times as they try their hardest to get their staffs back to pre-Covid levels. I can help with that. I oftentimes have an agent’s line or contact that gets me the end result much quicker.
Where are people going? Anywhere that the borders are open to us! I’ve had veteran cruisers on the high seas. Clients traveling to the South Pacific, Middle East, Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Canada and Africa.
There are also plenty of domestic options too, although it may be already too late for the remote and “unique” properties unless you are willing to be flexible with your dates and budget!
New hotels on my radar include Napa Valley Four Seasons, Montage, and Auberge Stanley Ranch. From there head south to the Four Seasons New Orleans on the water with a roof top pool, and Etereo Auberge Resort in Playa del Carmen.
There are also those of you who love traveling over the Atlantic to Paris. There are several wonderful options to explore including the new Bulgari or one of my favorite brands Cheval Blanc. It sits around the corner from the LVMH owned re-make of the department store Le Samartaine.
These are wonderful properties. I have relationships with all of them and can offer greater value when you book through TravelAnne.
Are you getting excited? Ready to pack your bags? I know I am.
As Always, Happy Trails & Keep Dreaming!
