Where do you want to go in 2024? Respond to this email with where you want to go by Tuesday November 21 at 5 pm ET and I’ll send a special gift to my favorite response Christmas comes early in my office!

Where am I going in 2024? I will be in Amsterdam in March with my amazing host agency for some training with AmaWaterways, my favorite river cruise line. Then I have a VERY BIG birthday in April that I need to do something about. In June, I’m doing a staycation at The Breakers here in Palm Beach with some friends of mine. And then in September, I plan to be in Costa Rica with my adventure travel partner, G Adventures. There are so many other things I want to do and see but alas, sometimes I am crushed by the weight of adult responsibility and life admin. (Please tell me I’m not alone in this.)

In the meantime though, more and more Black Friday offers keep popping into my inbox and I would be terribly remiss if I did not share them with you. We’re going to go old-school though with this newsletter. No pics, no hashtags, no Instagrams. Just the DEALS. My favorite ones.
