Holidays on the Horizon
The holiday season is fast approaching. If you haven’t made your travel plans yet, now’s the time to do it. My family always takes advantage of the winter school break to go somewhere special for Christmas. Usually we head for the southern hemisphere so we can enjoy summer weather—last year we spent an amazing three weeks in Australia. The wonderful memories we create and the family bonding we share is the best gift I can imagine.
This is obviously a very busy travel time, so don’t wait too long to make your arrangements. The best hotels, camps and lodges fill up fast, and so do the most convenient flights. If you need some inspiration, many of our partners are offering special tours—maybe you’d like to take a Botswana safari, or get an insider’s look at Buenos Aires, or ring in the New Year at the Tsar’s Gala Ball in St. Petersburg. The My Little Swans site is filled with unique travel ideas, and when you’re ready to book, our network of travel specialists can take care of all the details and make sure this holiday is one you’ll always remember.
In the Spotlight
My Little Swans has been in the news a lot lately. This past month, the
Wall Street Journal
interviewed me about my lifestyle and fitness routine. And the
New York Observer Playground
featured us in article about how authentic travel experiences can help your kids grow into more involved, responsible global citizens.
We’re also very proud to announce that our MLS Travel Advisor, Ana Maria Pickens, was named to the
Travel + Leisure A-List for World’s Top Travel Agents. Ana Maria has been invaluable to me over the last 14 years, helping plan my family’s trips to everywhere from Sydney to Morocco. As an MLS member, you also get the benefit of her expertise and personal attention—Ana Maria is available at any time to help you design your ideal journey and steer you to the right partners within our network and your budget.
New Destination
Our newest featured destination is near and dear to our hearts—San Francisco and the Bay Area. I’ve lived just south of the city for many years, and several members of the MLS team are also Bay Area locals. We’re bringing all that insider information to our
San Francisco
pages. We’ll be continuing to add more details over the next few weeks, so be sure to check it out. And if you have any of your own tips or insights on the Bay Area, please feel free to share them.
