8 www.kmtravel.co.uk Around The World With Our Staff CHARLOTTE - NEW YORK On our first family holiday to New York we decided to travel with British Airways in Club World, we had a very comfortable and enjoyable journey into JFK airport. We arrived early afternoon which gave us lots of time to go out and explore. Travelling with my 7 year old in New York was such an adventure like no other. We went up the Rockefeller Centre which was amazing and the views spectacular. From here you get a wonderful view of the New York skyline including the Empire State Building , something my daughter will never forget. During our time in NY we had long walks through Central Park , visiting the Zoo and laughing at all the Penguins , taking boat rides and then settling down to lunch in Central Park. We also visited the Children’s museum of Manhattan just off Broadway and at the end of the day we stopped in by Dylan’s Candy Bar for a little extra sugar !

All in all we had a wonderful time in New York which turned out to be a hit for the whole family .

OREGON How to sum up Oregon? A state of natural wonders! You will find amazing beauty throughout, ranging from historic towns and sleepy fishing villages to ski resorts and wineries.

Hood.

Cowboy adventures, whitewater rafting, quiet mountain retreats – Central Oregon has it all. The region’s geological history, marked by explosive volcanic activity, is showcased at several parks, and its rich cultural history is on display at the High Desert Museum in Bend. The spirit of the West is alive and well in the high desert of Eastern Oregon, where snow-capped mountains, Mt. Hood dusty plains and jagged red rocks look down on rolling hills of sage, wild rivers and fertile wheat fields.

IRENE - KUALA LUMPUR AND MALACCA Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is a must visit destination. It is an eclectic hub and a true gem of Southeast Asia. Whether it be the carefully curated collections in the city’s many galleries or the busy streets filled with local sellers and curious explorers, Kuala Lumpur is a destination known for its rich chaotic mix of culture grown and enhanced by its people. A visit to the Batu caves is a must and only a 40 minute drive from the city. If you have time for a day trip or even an overnight stay, don’t miss Malacca. A highlight is a boat trip or casual walk along the city’s river to see the stunning architecture and artwork the city has to offer.

26 www.kmtravel.co.uk Around The World With Our Staff GAYLE - MADEIRA Madeira is an all year-round destination and has stunning costal scenery. You can admire the views from the cable car in Funchal up to Monte and then enjoy the exhilarating toboggan ride in a wicker carriage down again, I loved this! There is so much to do on this island from off road jeep safaris, visit museums, churches, pretty villages, Levada & Hill walking, island tours, beautiful gardens are everywhere, and I loved Funchal! Funchal is the capital with such a cosmopolitan feel, tree lined avenues, cobbled streets, cafes, restaurants and just had such an upmarket feel. You can walk along the Lido promenade and have a lovely stroll….

I stayed at the beautiful Belmond Reid’s Palace which has such an air of grace and the bygone years about it. The hotel is built into the cliffside and has some amazing views especially from the lovely Tea Terrace

With views down to Funchal and The famous Reid’s Afternoon Tea is a must! ALAN & ELAINE - TUSCANY Gayle recommends: Under The Tuscan Sun Fly direct from Glasgow on 06th March 2020 for 7 Elaine and I went to Italy in October with Tauck nights staying in a Classic room on B & B at Reid’s for a little autumn sun. We stayed in Castelfalfi in Palace, from £1299.00 Per person (based on 2 sharing) the Tuscan region which was ideal for visiting some of the amazing Medieval Towns. We visited San Gimignano, Volterra, San Casciano, Pontedera and Siena. This is an amazing part of Italy with a rich history dating from before the Roman empire to the Second World War. In Siena when you see the town square where the Palio is held, you stand and wonder how you could have a horse race in such a small area. As you wander around the streets you will see various flags and emblems representing the cities seventeen wards or Contrade which take part in the race.

Alan & Elaine recommends: Please ask us for details on Tauck’s wonderful Italian itineraries
