by Matt Wahlgren:Travel Advisor, Agency Owner, and Avid Traveler...  Look like Vegas, but it's a bar in Valencia, Spain - July 2024 Often times, we get stuck in the busy game of life. A whole year passes by and we barely even notice. At some point, we have all felt burned out, whether it’s a stressful career, hectic family life or you simply need a break from reality. My solution? Travel! It's important to take time away from the day-to-day to indulge in a vacation, reflect, and most importantly, have some fun! You don't have to go far if long-distance travel makes you anxious. If Italy or Japan are too far for comfort, California Wine Country and Las Vegas are great places to explore near the west coast. If you're on the east coast and love whiskey, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail might be right up your alley! If you love food as much as I do, check out this BBQ road-trip. You may also want to consider a river cruise on the Mississippi or even a Caribbean cruise out of Florida. Your travel options are limitless! I've helped travelers plan thousands of trips and vacations throughout the years as a certified travel advisor. I love helping my clients create long-lasting memories from all around the world! Click here for some of my favorite travel itineraries. I hope it inspires you to enrich your life with experiences this year and for years to come. Now, let’s get traveling!  Dear fellow traveler, A distinctive meal — be it simple or refined — can quickly shoot to the top of our “best” lists and become what we’ll refer to ever-after as a highlight of the trip. Memorable dining experiences often encapsulate everything that drew us to a location. The convergence of authentic flavors, an extraordinary setting and a particular atmosphere deliver the true essence of place. Savoring magical moments around a table with cherished friends and family is what we wish for each of our clients. In this issue, we celebrate the pursuit of epicurean perfection from the shores of Northern Ireland to the bayous of Louisiana. Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast invites visitors to experience the salty bounty of the day’s catch in cozy pubs animated with heartfelt Irish hospitality. Embark on a multi-day culinary and cultural tour of New Orleans with Amy Mutscher where you’ll hear of innovative tasting menus and beloved dishes that draw visitors to the Big Easy year after year. Chef Masaharu Morimoto, best known as the Food Network star of Iron Chef America, describes his collaboration with Holland America Line to helm their port-to-plate program as Fresh Fish Ambassador. We hope the stories, images and essentials contained in this issue inspire you to craft a culinary journey of your own. Happy travels!
