Travel Post Monthly

Dear Reader,

Finding a destination that’s on the road less traveled by is one of travel’s greatest treasures. There’s nothing like hearing that question, “Where?”, when telling a friend about an unknown destination. This month four writers share with us their favorite hidden treasures.

Chuck Warren takes us to Tuscany where he indulged in a 12^th-century castle, once the home of a nobleman.

Have you ever been to Maderia? Sheila Breen has. She took a chance on a deal too good to be true, and it paid off.

Patricia Adderley takes us camping in Florida. Her special spot has nature, history and helpful campground hosts.

For our final story, take a seat and read a good book. Kara J. H. Kizis guides us through NYC’s Strand Bookstore, a rare find, an independent bookseller.

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

Till next time,

This Month …

Escape to the Tuscan Hills and a 12th Century Castle (9/24/2018) - Nestled in Italy’s Chianti region, among the rolling hills of Tuscany, is an Italian castle offering 5-star accommodations with a perfect balance of Old World charisma and modern comforts.
Madeira—Too Good to be True? (9/24/2018) - We landed in a tropical paradise, located a bus that took us to our hotel for five Euro each and then started exploring. Downtown Funchal seemed like a good place to start.
A Hidden Gem in Northwest Florida (9/24/2018) - As I woke up this morning to the sound of chirping birds, I looked outside my tent at the towering pine trees, it looked like paradise. No traffic sounds or sirens, just the sound of nature outside. I couldn’t wait to explore this hidden paradise.
Reveling in Nostalgia for Ink and Paper at NYC’s Strand Book Store (9/24/2018) - When I need a respite from the hectic energy of New York City, I head to Strand Book Store, located in the heart of Manhattan, on Broadway just south of Union Square. Boasting “18 Miles of Books,” Strand has been tantalizing book lovers with new, used, and rare books since 1927.
