So I am a little obsessed with this. I watched for a client, and now I think I want to go. 2027 maybe? Who might be interested

Tina Dalton, documentary filmmaker and Getaway presenter travels to Antarctica. Stopping in Paradise Harbour, guests had the chance to explore mother nature'...

Someone cloned Thierry's profile and is sending out requests from Thierry (Natale) with no profile photo. This is a clone and NOT him! They also have a frame with a dachsund in the main page. DO NOT ACCEPT!

Hi Kids!

I want you to be one of the first to see... Tauck has come out with their dates for Africa 2026 and it looks like September will be the month of our return to this incredible continent!

The itinerary and program I am looking at for the base program is their Kenya and Tanzania classic program.

I should be getting pricing and the exact date very soon, but my Tauck rep and I are going to set up an Africa Night zoom call for all the interested parties.

I will keep you informed!

Tauck's enriching guided tours, small ship cruises, river cruises and family travel take you to all seven continents.
