Good morning!

We've got a lot to share with you this morning. 

Americans are flocking to the UK and saving lots of money with the crash of the British Pound, there's been a huge surge of travel bookings after the election, and we've got a whole host of special travel offers for you.

So, buckle up travel fans, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and let's get started...

With the sharp decline of the British Pound following the Brexit vote last June, Americans are flocking to Great Britain in droves. 

Last week, I sent our British in-country travel planning partner an email asking if she’s seeing an increase in bookings to Great Britain; she said, “Absolutely! Its been utter madness!”.

Post-election travel bookings are surging and many travel suppliers are seeing record bookings!

Our travel agency’s bookings are up over 250% from this time last year.

Did you see last week's article about how to choose the right stateroom on a Viking Ocean Cruise?

When we were sailing with Viking Ocean Cruises a few weeks ago (article link) President and CEO Torstein Hagan shared with us that if folks want to explore the Baltic's, that they ought to do it aboard a Viking Ocean Cruise as the Baltic's are the homelands of Viking.

He went on to lay out a very compelling argument. 

We're seeing an upsurge in Baltic sailings and therefore thought you might enjoy exploring a sailing with Viking in the region.

To make his argument even more compelling, they are offering savings up to $2,800/couple!

"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us." – Anonymous

I don't fully agree with this statement.  Sometimes, travel IS merely a chance to escape and rejuvenate.  Sometimes travel is to celebrate the milestones in our lives.  And, perhaps to this person's point, travel has a way of changing our lives as we visit other cultures, begin to understand their history, and spend time interacting with them.

Whether you want to escape your daily life, or desire a travel experience that might make you more fully alive, we hope that you've found a travel experience in this week's newsletter that will inspire you to get out there and explore something new.

Speaking of travel, many of us will be traveling over the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.  We wish you safe journeys and pray that you have a most wonderful time reconnecting with family and friends.  Happy Thanksgiving!

See you next week!
