Greetings Hidden Gem Travel Community members! We’re at the six-month mark of the pandemic, and it’s not an easy time after months of staying close to home and curtailing our lives. Knowing that like me, you’re very eager to have a trip on the calendar to look forward to, my goal is to keep inspiring so that when the time is right, you’ll have some ideas for where you want to travel.
This week’s newsletter is short but extra sweet because I have some timely scoop for anyone who loves an island getaway. The holidays will be here before we know it, as of today there are only 77 days until Hanukkah 🕎 and 92 days until Christmas 🎄, and what better gift than a vacation next year?
Are you dreaming of getting lost in the Maldives, sailing around French Polynesia, golfing or playing tennis in the Dominican Republic, taking a siesta in Mexico, basking in the sun on the white sand beaches of Turks and Caicos or Anguilla, hiking the gorgeous pitons in St. Lucia, or exploring the islands of Greece?
If these islands are calling you, then this fabulous digital brochure will inspire you to make some plans! Access it here: https://bit.ly/2FX4Lt0 – it’s best viewed on a laptop. NOTE this file is in Google Drive and a PowerPoint document. It’s a large file. You will first get a message that the file is too large to preview then hit download. On the next screen, you will see a button labeled “download anyway.” Click that button and you will be able to download and then open the file. If you’d like to view it on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll need to download the PowerPoint App first. If you need help opening the file, email me and I will send it to you directly.
