Q&A WITH JANICE HECHT, SENIOR EDITOR With the anticipated return to international travel, many people once again plan special trips they postponed during the pandemic. I, for one, dream of returning to Ireland and seeing Scotland for the first time. Are you planning to visit a bucket-list destination or celebrate a milestone by traveling abroad this year? Tell us. Email us at letters@globaltravelerusa.com
In our January/February 2022 issue, we asked: Are you planning any travel for special events this year? A few readers wrote in: My wife and I scheduled a trip to Bermuda this summer as we have both wanted to go there for several years and experience Bermuda Carnival. We love vacations near the beach and always dreamed of seeing the famous pink-sand beaches of Bermuda in person. I also love to see marine life up close, so I hope to take a few snorkeling trips to spot some colorful fish and reefs. My wife has had a fascination with caves since she was a kid, and when we discovered Bermuda is home to some of the most beautiful, we made a plan to see these spectacular caverns. We are beyond excited to not only relax but also to explore the island and create amazing memories. TIMMY DAVIS, VIA EMAIL My niece is getting married this summer and, to my delight, decided to have a destination wedding with her closest family and friends. She and her fiancé decided to host an intimate ceremony in Hawai’i on Waikiki Beach. They have always loved the beach and wanted to do something extra special for their wedding.

My husband and I will fly over and stay at Hilton Hawai’ian Village Waikiki Beach Resort along with some of our other relatives. My niece plans to have her wedding on the very beach she and her fiancé once walked several years ago, and the ceremony venue will be decked out with flowers and elegant fabric. I have never been to Hawai’i and am thrilled to be able to see the beauty of the state. ALYSON HESS, VIA EMAIL
Q&A TIME — AGAIN In our December 2021 issue we asked: As the holidays approach and many of us plan on spending time with family, what are you most excited about for the holidays this year? A reader wrote in after our last issue went to print, but we still wanted to share her thoughts: My husband, children and I booked a threeday Bahama cruise for the end of December with Royal Caribbean. We initially planned this cruise for last December, but the pandemic put a halt on all travels. Now that cruises are back up and running and require passengers to be vaccinated, my entire family not only had a safe trip but were so excited to visit the Bahamas for the first time.
