hat could be better than a getaway to a wonderful resort personally handpicked and recommended by your favourite travel company? One that’s a short flight away, of course! “Direct flights feel like time travel,” says Darlene Caines, Manager, LeGrow’s Travel, Clarenville. “There’s nothing quite like getting on a plane on a frosty winter morning and then stepping into that lovely tropical heat in-destination a few short hours later.” While there’s a good array of direct sun destinations on offer from a gateway near you, we’ve selected four distinctly different beach locales for you to preview. You’ll find that each has its own unique personality and offerings, but what they have in common is that they’re all just a plane ride away—and they’re all recommended by our own travel counsellors.
DIRECT DESTINATION: PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC—BARCELÓ BÁVARO PALACE “My top pick for family fun!

Best of Greece Craft your own Greek odyssey on a tailor-made adventure by land or sea
“When I recall my own trip to Greece, I see the blue, blue water, the whitewashed stucco houses, and the salty seascapes of the harbours and beaches.”

tunning scenery, ancient kingdoms, the crystal-clear Aegean Sea, and glorious Greek cuisine—welcome to Greece, the birthplace of Western civilization. This is a land of ageless beauty—of philosopher kings and legendary lovers; charming seaside villages and bustling metropoli—no wonder it’s one of the most sought-after vacation experiences on the planet. “Go to Greece and you’ll have a totally new experience each time,” says Jeannine Smith, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Village Mall, St. John’s. “I keep crossing it off my bucket list and then it moves right back to the top!” Here are two of Jeannine’s picks for a Greek Islands adventure—the first an escorted vacation including accommodations and guided sightseeing of Greece’s ancient kingdoms and modern cities, and the second a fabulous island-hopping adventure by cruise ship.
