Welcome to Travel Post Monthly

Dear Reader,

Hello from Travel Post Monthly’s new editor, Mary Charlebois. I hope you enjoy this month’s five stories from around the globe.

Temecula is Southern California’s wine country. With over 40 wineries, tasting each one might take a while. Our writer takes us on an insider’s journey for food, wine, craft brews, speakeasies, and a casino resort, all in Temecula Valley Wine Country.

“Let’s go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon, Willie, and the boys.” The Texas Hill Country is a place where cowboy meets white collar, rural meets metropolitan, and hills and bluffs meet flat land. Read about four experiences that will give you the Hill Country perspective.

Tabacon Thermal Resort is located beneath Arenal volcano in Costa Rica. The warm air, singing birds, and the sound of flowing water brings immediate relaxation. Tabacon is full of winding pathways and bridges that take you to your own magical oasis in the trees.

Houses are perched on cliffs rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea at the tip of Italy’s boot. Yellow illuminates the view, from both lemons and sunshine. You’ll be immediately transported to a happy place. Read about the three C’s—citrus, cliffs, and coastline—as our writer takes you with her to the Isle of Capri.

Peanut Island is situated along the Intracoastal Waterway near the city of Riviera Beach. It was named because of plans to use it as a terminal for shipping peanut oil—but those plans never came to completion. Learn what this tropical paradise has to offer today.

Read these stories and see the great photos that go with them below.

Till next time,

• The Best Volcanic Hot Spring Resort in Costa Rica (8/6/2018) - Two hours along winding mountain roads from the capital city of San Jose lies a jungle oasis at the base of a protruding volcano. The clouds linger around the top, casting bright rays down across the valley. After a red-eye flight and a long drive, my body was itching with the anticipation of experiencing naturally warm, crystal clear hot springs.
• The Three C’s of Capri: Citrus, Cliffs, and Coastline (8/6/2018) - Yellow illuminated the view, from both the fruit and the sunshine, immediately transporting me to a “happy place.”
