Gung Hay Fat Choy!

I wish you a healthy, hearty and happy 2009, in this Chinese Lunar New Year of the Ox.

Thank you all for many the challenges you have brought my way!  Archaeological digs in Turkey and Greece, eight week honeymoons, culinary adventures through Thailand, elephant care in Cambodia, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the caves of Cappadocia, Rio, Palermo, Bordeaux, London, Buenos Aires, Paris, Ireland, St. Barts, Napa, Rome, genealogical journeys in Eastern Europe, volunteer vacations and so much more. You even urged me to expand into business travel, planning meetings for small groups of television and film professionals wherever they traveled.  The most fun was bringing a number of Europeans to Washington DC for Election Day 2008!

It has been an exhilarating year filled with new faces, rewarding new alliances and overwhelming loyalty. There is no greater pleasure than exceeding the expectations of our clients. This year, let Travel by Design expand the strength of your dollar through careful planning and our intrepid travel network.

I wish you all a wonderful year filled with thoughtful change, charity and challenges that raise your hopes, hearts and expectations.  As always, I look forward to sharing this auspicious Year of the Ox and exploring the possibilities with you!
