Hi Friend and welcome to our Summer 2021 edition of "Secret Women's Business".
Making travel plans in the current environment is challenging for us all to say the least, but my thought for the day is:
"It's better to have dreams and plan your dream trip,
than to never dream again"...
As you may have heard by now, our planned New Zealand trip will not be able to proceed due to the international border between NZ and Oz now closed until 30th April, 2022. We are awaiting advice from the supplier for what happens next so stay tuned.
We have some awesome Aussie experiences planned in 2022, some of which are already 'sold out' and others are outlined below. I am delighted to announce that we're already making plans for 2023 and you are hearing about those plans first right here, right now including our very popular 'Girls On Tour - Cape York 2023' trip. Our 2022 tour sold out in an astounding 36 hours!!
Thanks for your ongoing support. Stay safe and keep your travel dreams alive.
