Looking back on 2017
Dear Hearts and Gentle Focus Travelers All.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!?! According to my mental calendar it really should be September! Can it truly be December already? 2017 has certainly sped past! During the year I shared many travel adventures with Focus travelers and each was interesting, unusual and great fun! The best part of any Focus adventure is sharing it with Focus friends!
Our Focus 2017 travels began with a fabulous February Oceania cruise which took us from Singapore to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam to end in Hong Kong. What a fantastic adventure! On the cruise Nancy Buchholz, Kathy Proctor and Sally Pepper orchestrated a fantastic surprise birthday celebration for me that I will never forget!
In April Focus celebrated springtime with a week-long tour of Louisiana. Highlights included a great swamp tour, a visit to Oak Alley plantation, and several days in New Orleans. A tour of Louisiana’s state capital was the best highlight for Patricia Roswell and Diane Sanelli both of whom conduct tours of our state capital here in Denver!
Also in April Focus did a two-week tour of Costa Rica led by Duane and Marty Hunter who did a spectacular job! Volcanos, tropical birds and flowers galore, Tortuguero National Park, Carara Biological Reserve, and gorgeous scenery all were greatly admired and enjoyed!
September saw a Focus group departing for a long-anticipated exploration of Slovenia and Croatia! Slovenia’s Lake Bled amazed us with its beauty. Our exploration of Croatia included the highlight of Plitvice National Park, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage. WHAT an experience! Myriad lakes all at different levels feeding myriad waterfalls! Dubrovnik was a fitting tour climax; we ended with a day in Montenegro.
2018 travels will begin with an Amazonian Adventure April 24- May 06. We begin with two days in Lima, Peru, followed by three days at Ceiba Tops Lodge in the Amazonian rainforest. Next, we will delight in a six-day cruise on the Amazon River with naturalist guides enhancing our experiences! Our Amazon Adventure tour is filled and
The Information Party is scheduled for January 11th.
In August Focus will cruise ALASKA on Oceania cruise line’s smallest ship, The Regatta.
Our 11-day cruise begins and ends in Seattle. we go up the inland passage all the way to Icy Strait Point (Hoonah). August is the prime time to visit Alaska and this cruise is going to be truly wonderful and includes 6 free shore excursions per cabin! Our group is already half full. Come join us!
October 01 – 16, 2018, Focus will be exploring the Heel of Italy’s Boot. Southern Italy offers A completely different and fascinating Italian experience and one not to be missed! The itinerary is now complete and ready to send out. Ask and ye shall receive!
A six-day tour of New York City caps our 2018 travel adventures in early December next year, and WHAT a marvelous time awaits us in the Big Apple! Our group is currently full, and a wait list is forming. Broadway shows, The Rockette’s Christmas show, Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, the Ground Zero museum, and much more all await us! I am excited!
Our Annual Focus Blowout will take place on February 10th. I will send out a formal invite in early January. I hope everyone who lives close can plan to come. Put it on your calendars now!! WAIT until you see the incredible travel plans in the works for 2019! Would you believe the Trans-Siberian Rail Journey? Wales? A Holland tulip-time river cruise?
Each year as I write this Christmas letter I am filled with wonderful memories of times shared with Focus friends. I look forward to sharing many more in 2018! For each and every one of you, may this Christmas season and all of 2018 be filled with prosperity, good health, and, of course, Focus Travel Club Tours.
Loves, Hugs, and a very Merry Christmas!
