POSTCARDS: Inspiration And Insights To Help You Travel Better

9/9/2024

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!
