There are some itchy feet in our office. A room filled with
people all passionate for the travel industry and always thinking where our
next venture might be. For now that may be constricted to where we might next venture
for our daily exercise but once the travel restrictions are lifted and it is
safe to travel, we are off. Longing to travel on holidays we had booked but
postponed, excited to reconnect with family and friends or just eager for a
change of scenery. I asked my colleagues
where they plan to travel to once they can and their responses were:
Japan – Andrew
My next trip will be Japan to replace our missed honeymoon. I’d love to see the cherry blossoms in bloom and super keen on the food,
Melbourne and Kangaroo Island – Nella
My first stop will be Melbourne to see my fiancé. After that
a girls weekend to Kangaroo Island hopefully for some rest, relaxation, missed
time with my girlfriends and to support the local KI community who have had a
tough start to 2020 - ravaged by
bushfires then close followed by the pandemic.
Bali – Allanha
An exotic escape to Bali is on the cards to finally unwind
and relax after all the craziness.
Hunter Valley – Pip
An avid golfer, Pip is hoping to travel to the Hunter Valley in October to enjoy their
lovely golf courses and wineries!
Australia – Dani
When this madness finally blows over, I’ll have itchy feet
to explore, and I’m already planning my freedom! Locally, I think I want to
visit the Flinders Ranges – I’ve never been before and it’s around a 5 hour
drive from Adelaide. I’d really love to try out the Ikara Safari Camp for a
glamping experience! I also have an obsession with wanting to visit Byron Bay,
specifically Elements of Byron, a
beachfront resort which looks incredible and has daily beachside yoga that
would be amazing. Another trip in Australia I’d love to do is to hire a
campervan and explore Western Australia’s south-western coast. It may take
longer for international travel to be available, but Los Angeles is hot on my
list!
Germany – Julia
To see my family. I can not wait to connect with my family
and friends there again.
South America – Lorraine
I have a travel booking in place to travel to Chile and
Bolivia in late July this year. I’ve booked an Intrepid tour of Bolivia
as well as having a few days in Chile pre-tour. The tour includes the
Bolivian salt flats which is a place we really wanted to see. I’m still
hoping to go on this trip but time will tell if I put it on hold. At this
point, we don’t have any other travel plans in place but I have been known to
go Singapore for a long weekend – so who knows!
Anywhere – Carly
Paul and I are looking forward to be able to go back to
anywhere sunny where there is a pool, as our daughter loves the water and
splashing around.
UK, Italy and France – Sarah
We had a once in a lifetime trip booked with my husband and
two children and my parents to the UK for a relatives birthday celebration, and
then explore further into Europe while we were there. Thank goodness we were
given flexibility to defer our arrangements and are very much looking forward
to making this trip a realisation. And will be appreciating that bit more too.
Kangaroo Island, Tasmania and Canada – Casey
Domestically I want to go to Kangaroo Island or Tasmania. KI
needs our support after the recent bushfires. Tassie has always been on the
bucket list and if you can’t travel internationality why not travel close to
home.
Internationally I want to go to Canada (fingers crossed).
Canada is so magical and I really can’t wait to see the spectacular scenery
with my own eyes. I will be travelling to the west coast.
This is the tour itinerary:
Awe-inspiring scenery and fascinating wildlife are simply
everywhere in western Canada. This 12-day adventure hits crisp Jasper and
serene Lake Louise, a scenic ferry crossing to Vancouver Island, a river safari
through Grizzly Bear Valley, and a drive along the jaw-dropping Icefields
Parkway. Whether you’re walking atop a glacier or meandering the gorgeous
streets of Whistler Village, you’re sure to feel that Rocky Mountain high.
• Explore Banff during a walk with an
expert from the Whyte Museum
• Embark on a glacier walk with an
expert guide
• Soak and unwind in natural hot
springs
• Explore the popular resort town of
Whistler
• Search for grizzly and black bears on a float trip at Blue River
