Discover your new favourite destination! SPRING'S MUST-READ McTavish Travel is pleased to present our Spring 2009 Ensemble Vacation Magazine. The general focus is Europe, with a spotlight on Italy and we think this is our best issue ever. Our clients love the magazine! If you aren't our client, give us a call and we'll send you one. With a challenging economy, we have incorporated a travel `back to basics' and the articles lean towards a return to the simple pleasures that Italy and Europe have to offer, as well as some suggestions for things to do "on the cheap". For example, David Miller writes about Puglia's Simple Pleasures, a region in Italy that is on the "next hot spot" list, while Debra Conkey gives some advice on how to plan an (affordable) farmhouse villa vacation in Tuscan Treasures. Anita Draycott writes about seeing Paris on a Budget, and Michele Sponagle provides a special listing of Europe's Best Spring Festivals that our clients could potentially plan their vacation around. If that's not tempting enough, check out the mouth-watering spread on the Five Best Pizza Places in Naples the photo alone has made a few of us in the office want to book the next available flight! Additionally, we have the following articles: Yes, No, Maybe So A fun and "handy" lesson in gesturing through out Europe The Undiscovered French Riviera Leaving the "bling" behind to find a sweeter, lesser known side of the French Riviera Czech Mate: Memoirs of the Czech Republic Our writer's personal journey to her father's homeland Dazzling Dubrovnik Insider tips on getting the most out of this Croatian city On Location: Istanbul Crawford's Caribbean An interview with Four Seasons NY executive chef Lynn Crawford, who will be one of the personalities on the Ensemble Grand Journey's cruise, Island Splendors For more information, give us a call!
