EDITOR’S LETTER TEAM + COVER

I’VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME over the past couple of years googling destinations and dreaming of places I’d like to visit if only the borders were open.

Now that they are, that bucket list has just gotten longer, thanks in part to all the amazing options and itineraries featured in our special Dream Destinations feature in this issue.

Of course, when you are going on a holiday you need to dress the part, so we have a range of stunning new season swimwear for you, as well as a selection of colourful and quirky accessories for both men and women on our Wish List pages.

Coach Adam has some timely advice on how to stay fit while you are away (it’s really not as hard as you might think), while Angela will have you envious when you read about her recent stay at Fiji’s Lomani Island Resort, which is also showcased on the cover.

Now let’s move from holiday mode to stage and screen.

Our City Icon is award-winning Master Illusionist Matt Hollywood.

Having travelled the world perfecting his craft Matt is now firmly ensconced in The Village Theatre, Sanctuary Cove where he performs every Friday and Saturday night.

From Hollywood by name to Hollywood fame … Andie MacDowell is one of acting’s most endearing and enduring stars.

Who will ever forgot that iconic scene with Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral?

These days she is taking on a more taxing role, playing a bipolar character opposite her real-life daughter in the Netflix hit, Maid.

You can read more in our feature interview which starts on page 20.

Finally, for those of you looking for a little bit of star treatment right here on the Gold Coast we have a fabulous competition prize on offer.

The lucky winner will enjoy a night for two at The Langham Gold Coast including a fabulous dinner in the T’ang Court restaurant.

This luxury stay is valued at $2,000 so be sure to get your entries in.

NEWS AND VIEWS

Sense of discovery

The term ‘expedition ship’ and ‘luxury’ once were polar opposites until Silversea’s ships put that notion to rest. Now, Silversea has upped its game again with Silver Endeavour, a new vessel honouring the spirit of expedition travel and channelling the same sense of discovery that guided such pioneering explorers as Capt. Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton. Setting sail in November 2022, Silver Endeavour will specialise primarily in Antarctica Bridge itineraries, so named because travellers fly directly to Antarctica's King George Island. silversea.com
