Quick Last Minute Update:

The other day I posted about a special I have at Canyon Ranch in  Lenox from 9/18 – 22.  Great news…..due to the popularity of this special I have more space available, however this ends  tomorrow (Wednesday, 9/14).

If you’re still thinking about Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA while the whether is still warmer (high 60’s) then this is a great time to go at a great rate.

SPECIAL OFFER:

The opportunities are endless, however this special will  end soon.  If you can travel between 9/18 – 22 for a 3- or 4-night stay contact me at 1-800-532-5590 or via e-mail and I’ll review the details with you. Space is limited and this special must be reserved no later than 9/14/11.

PS  If you’re thinking of another time of year, call or e-mail me and I’ll review what’s possible.   If you’d like to go to Tucson, I have a great opportunity for late October.  More details coming up.

Most of the U.S. is under ‘heat-wave’ conditions and yet there is a mountain sanctuary less than two hours from San Diego, CA  that’s experiencing milder temperatures.  If you thought it was too late for a summer vacation, think again.  Rancho la Puerta, one of my favorite destination spas (and the World’s #1 Destination Spa by the readers of Travel+Leisure) in Tecate, Mexico is offering an amazing summer promotion that you should know about.  If you’ve been to Rancho la Puerta, then you know this is something special and if you haven’t had the opportunity to experience a week at the ‘Ranch,’ then now might be a good time.

Your Adventure Awaits You at Rancho la Puerta

Is anyone else out there experiencing cabin fever? I am not one to stay put for a very long time and I am ready to go someplace very soon…..and now is the time to consider a long awaited getaway. We’ve been reading and hearing about making cutbacks and recently one of my articles was published about our current economic atmosphere and how people are cutting back and one example was about making lattes at home; well it doesn’t seem that way when I’m waiting in line for my soy latte at Starbucks. Travel is another area that has been affected by our current economic atmosphere and although travel buying habits have changed, people are traveling. Travel and tourism is one of our nation’s greatest resources for jobs and economic growth and support is vital. Simply put, travel supports the economy let alone the other benefits of our well-being, relationships, and rest to name a few. Whether you’re dealing with cabin fever, monkey mind or sleep deprivation, traveling can set you free and open your mind to possibilities, a new awareness and maybe that’s what we need to consider now more than ever.

Many resorts are offering amazing values right now and some are advertised while many aren’t and that’s when working with a travel professional becomes important. So, with that, I’m going to cover 4 different promotions that are being offered right now. Take a look and consider one of these options. It may be just what you need for your vision of hope and well-being.

Rancho la Puerta
Bring a Friend Promotion
Travel the week of February 7-14, 2009
or February 21-28, 2009

There is too much “room at the inn” in these particular weeks, so there is an offer rarely seen at Rancho La Puerta. All guests staying one week (Saturday to Saturday) can bring a friend at 50% off. Share the room…share the savings…and most importantly, share the one and only experience that is Rancho La Puerta.

ALL-INCLUSIVE seven-night packages. NEVER A SERVICE CHARGE.
Subject to availability. Some restrictions apply. One-week stays only. May not be combined with other promotions.

There are several room types available. Call me directly for pricing and availability.

Life is an Adventure. Travel!
