1. Active in Australia
Have you ever wanted to see Australia? I've been booking quite a few clients lately. There's a real desire to make bucket list trips into a reality. After 3 years of the pandemic, folks are tired of waiting. The time is now to see Australia!
There are so many ways to see this huge country. Please reconcile yourself to the fact that you are NOT going to see it all. Australia is huge - as the superimposed map
of Australia over Canada above shows.
It's best to pick a couple of spots, and get to see and know them - like a Rock to Reef holiday.
I've been booking a lot of active holidays for folks to Australia. And here are some great resources to give you some ideas of what you can see and do.
I've recently planned some golf holidays, as well as walking holidays - and you can be as active as you
choose.
Kindly note, golfing does require a letter of introduction from your golf course to get access to even play on the private courses - and - there are so many rules and regs about golfing on private courses, as the Australian clubs obviously give their members first dibs, so gaining access to play involves a little bit of Tetris manoeveuring to get schedules to align - e.g., course A only allows guests to play on Wednesday, etc., and course B only allows Thursday -
but they're several hundred miles apart, etc. Fortunately, I work with my feet--on -the-ground experts in Australia, and leverage their relationships to get schedules and confirmations sorted.
I'm an Aussie Specialist, so I can help you plan your bucket list trip.
2. Women Focused River Cruise - Info Session & Daytime Ottawa TV Appearance
Did you miss my Info session on Thursday's Oct.26th zoom meeting about my women focused river cruise? You can watch the presentation here:
And
I was also on Daytime Ottawa this past Friday, October 27th. Watch the segment here.
My Woman focused river cruise is now on sale. Let me know if you'd like to secure your spot. This will be a 7-night Danube River cruise, that sets sail from Budapest on Oct. 4, 2024, and heads to Nuremberg, before finishing its voyage with 2 nights in Prague on Oct. 13, 2024.
See more info on the cruise, including all the details about when and where, and pricing, along with details on the Travel With, and Travel Alone (with options for solo cabins, or solo share program): https://tinyulr.com/LushWellCruise
This river cruise is designed for “self-care and healing” and will be a “wellness on water” experience. It offers a perfect gathering for mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. Women are invited to come travel with someone; or travel alone, together; from Budapest to Prague on this soothing luxury adventure.
(Kindly note, husbands and partners are welcomed, and normal shore excursions and dining will be available for them. But they may wish to sit out any special onboard cruise programming with a definite woman theme!)
3. River Cruise Corner - Butlers on Uniworld Suites
Have you ever had your own butler when you travel?
If I book you a river cruise experience with my partners at Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, and we book you in one of their magnificent suite category cabins, you'll get a butler to tend to
your every need.
And not just any butler! No, Uniworld hires from the same school that serves the Buckingham Palace.
Now, how's that's for getting pampered?!

The Culinary Capital of the Caribbean
Dedicate your days and nights to relishing the heightened culinary culture at one of Cayman’s 200+ restaurants. Freshly caught fish, vibrantly coloured fruits and vegetables, succulent organic meats,
and world-class wine lists await you. Unwinding with a good meal in the Cayman Islands can span from casual venues under the stars to fine dining or fish prepared straight off the boat.
One of the things we love most about what we do is matching our clients tastes' with the greatest hotels in the world. And with our preferred status with these industry leading hotel brands it means our clients are instant VIP's with upgrades and special perks that you only get working with an elite partner. So, not only do we have the best rates, but more importantly you get an exceptional experience over and above
what you would booking direct or with a credit card.
See the special programs I'm affiliated with below, and let me know if you’d like to discuss a specific hotel stay. Such as at a Kempinski hotel - seeKempinski Club 1897
For specific articles about why you should book with an advisor, rather than book by yourself, see here:
And - I wanted to let you know about a new way for you to book hotels online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week... You can now browse and book hotels online https://www.virtuoso.com/advisor/sheilagallanthalloran/travel/luxury-hotels at your convenience – and what’s more, you’ll still receive all the usual benefits you get when I book your travel - including full service, preferred rates, and exclusive amenities. And once you make a booking, the information comes directly to me so I can follow up with you about additional services or whatever else you may
need!
It’s perfect for last minute getaways, weekend breaks, or other short trips! I’m sure once you try it you’ll agree you get the best of both worlds; the ease and convenience of online booking – plus the value and VIP treatment I know you love. As long as you don't need me to provide any additional services or assistance, you can book hotels yourself with my Virtuoso partners, and I will waive normal booking and management fees. (If you need
additional assistance after the booking, normal fees will apply.)
One point, though - if you're looking to stay at week at a Four Seasons partner around the world, say, having me book your holiday through my Four Seasons preferred partners directly (rather than you self-booking through the Virtuoso.com booking engine link above) will bestow additional benefits that I can leverage as a preferred Four Seasons partner. So, let me know if you
want to book a Four Seasons, but I can get some extra benefits and "love" for you.
Of course, this Virtuoso.com booking link and the benefits of you booking yourself, if you choose, doesn’t change any of the services I already offer. I’m still available in person to book hotels and take care of your other travel needs. Just know you now have access to this VIP online hotel booking option now, too.
I'm here when you need me.
