Why Travel?
This travel quote is my favorite:
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
When you travel in a group, you meet like-minded people with the same interests and
make new friends.

A new study finds that North Americans get fewer vacation days in 2012
We work more and take less vacation days, but why?
"Studies consistently show that an ideal work-life balance leads to happier and more productive employees,"
John Morrey, general manager of Expedia.com, said in a statement. "Your vacation days are not a gift, not a
luxury. They're yours to use."
Another factor is the money issue: Workers in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Japan and Ireland cited money concerns
as the biggest hurdle to taking their vacation time.
"Instead of letting those days quietly expire, take that time and connect with the world outside your office."

lead to adventurous and memorable trips all year long?

Eat Like a Local
We all want to feel like we belong when we travel, and what better way than to eat as the locals do?
According to a 2009 World Food Travel Association study of 11,000
self-identified culinary travelers in 37 countries, "authentic" and "localist"
dining experiences rank as top travel motivators -- and the organization
predicts those factors rate even higher today. Travelers are seeking out
culinary experiences they can't get at home.
