Hi everyone!

This is our first newsletter in almost eleven months and we're amazed at how quickly the time has flown by.

We've had a very busy and fun-filled winter accompanying our clients through parts of Asia and South America and have also been working hard on our two new Private Journeys in Southern Africa and Northern India.

The creation of these journeys has taken more than eight months of activities including meeting with our suppliers, visiting sites, inspecting hundreds of hotels and restaurants, meeting local guides, sampling road and air transport and preparing itineraries. The resulting products are truly unique and wonderful!

So here (finally) is our full line-up of Private Journeys for this coming fall and winter. Each trip is limited to 16 guests.

The Pictures In This Month's Newsletter

All pictures along the right-hand side of this newsletter were taken during our most recent trips to India in September and April.

In our next newsletter (September) we'll be featuring this amazing destination in more detail.

TrailFinders' Free Autumn Slide Shows

Once again we offer our fall schedule of interesting slide show evenings. If you'd like to share some wine (or coffee, tea, water - whatever) and some travel slides and talk, drop in at our office in Westboro at 7:30 pm on selected Thursdays in September and October and enjoy the evening with us. Please call ahead to register though, since space is very limited.

By the way, if you have a specific destination in mind and would like us to offer a  slide show evening on that place let us know what you would like and we'll do our best to include it in our next series of shows.
