THE BEST

BEACHES

For Totally Chillin’ Out

These stunning sands are a must-bum for anyone who lives by the motto “Life’s a Beach,” i.e. all of us!

Take to one, or all, of these iridescently sun-splashed and majestically calming beaches to fully embrace the ultimate beachside pastime of doing nothing at all.

Bermuda Just off to the east of the Carolinas lies an island often mistaken for the Caribbean due to its turquoise seas and tropical charm.

Bermuda’s pastel houses, pampering resorts, and sprawling golf courses beckon for a perfect island getaway. But it’s the famously pink sand that is the real star, and Horseshoe Bay’s blushing shores are ideal for soaking up the sun, exploring the surrounding coves, and capturing plenty of pictures of that rosy coast.

Dickenson Bay, Antigua

10

LIBERTY TRAVEL | CALL 1.866.823.5788

Antigua Famously home to 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, you’ll have a hard decision taking your pick when embarking on a short vacation to one of the Caribbean’s best island spots. If you can, by all means spend a year beach-hopping. If you can’t, but are looking for a classic, loungingback, nap-on-a-beach-towel getaway, look no further than the tried and true Dickenson Bay, where relaxing on the beach comes easy and the waves coming ashore play as music to your ears.

Horseshoe Bay, Bermuda

Kauai Beach, Hawaii

Kauai Obviously, Hawaii couldn’t be left off this list. When it comes to beaches, Hawaii can rival any top dog, and those soft-sands in Kauai might just be the best of these beautiful American islands. When it comes to putting out a blanket to lie down on, Hanalei Bay in Kauai may take the cake as the best spot in the sand. This peaceful oasis is rarely crowded and boasts calm waters ideal for taking a quick dip and views out onto epic mountains.

Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman Beach perfection can be found here, mainly on famous Seven Mile Beach, where lying around has never seemed so good. It’s really 5½ miles, but when something is this heavenly, they can call it whatever they want. Plus, with a range of restaurants and beachside bars, and picnic areas shaded by trees, Seven Mile Beach earns its reputation as one of the best beaches in the world.

Get bummin’ on these seven, or 5½, miles of Caribbean paradise.

Get more out of your vacation by turning it into a Liberty Travel Escape.

These exclusive vacation packages to the world’s best beach destinations include exciting sightseeing tours and unique perks, such as a personalized keepsake booklet and document holder, Insider Benefits coupons with exclusive savings, and $150 future travel credit. Let your Liberty Travel consultant help you secure your spot in the sand.

Delve deeper on your Escape by booking an Insider Experience. These special sightseeing tours immerse you in the culture and nature of your destination with knowledgeable guides, off-the-beaten path excursions, and local favorites — and you can’t book them anywhere else. If life’s a beach, you might as well live it to the fullest.

DESTINATIONS

ON THE RISE

For us, destinations are like children — it’s hard to choose our favorites — but these countries have always held a special place in our hearts. And we aren’t the only ones. Travelers aspire to visit Greece, Belize, and Portugal almost as instantly as their wanderlust sets in. Each with its own distinct character, culture, and history, one is no less incredible than the next, and they all deserve your undivided attention. As these destinations continue to grow in popularity, there has never been a better time like the present to capture your own piece of their magic.

Greece There’s so much we could say about Greece, but where to begin?

We could try to describe the feeling of watching pages of your history books come to life while standing next to ancient sites like the Acropolis in Athens. Or tell you how the whitewashed buildings built into Santorini’s cliffsides are the perfect canvas for capturing the colors of an Aegean Sea sunset. All we can truly reveal is Greece really is as mythical as its legends describe, and although you might not be able to spot the gods atop Mt. Olympus, you’ll definitely see their influence in this ethereal destination.

Acropolis Parthenon, Greece

Portugal Often looped in with the wonder that is Spain, Portugal has a vibrant identity all its own that needs to be celebrated. From city soirees to countryside fairs, festivals are plentiful in this country. Its capital Lisbon is a city of impeccable views that can be captured on the miradouros (terraces) on each of its trademark seven hills.

Portugal’s culture has been shaped by great civilizations from the Celtics to the Romans, and their influences have created a diverse culinary scene and a nearly immeasurable amount of historical landmarks and art. In other words, Portugal is a world tour packed into one breathtaking country.

Santorini, Greece

Belize Belize is a country of contrasts. It’s where the lush prosperity of the jungle meets the bountiful sapphire sea, and the local life walks in the footsteps of the Mayan civilization. This country is made of unsurpassed adventure, and you would do Belize and yourself a disservice if you didn’t experience the best of land and sea. Start inland at the Cayo District and San Ignacio, where you can enjoy both the enchanting village and captivating rainforest, where mesmerizing Mayan ruins live amid unmatched natural beauty. Then, head for the coast and the island of San Pedro for sun-soaked days on the beach and incredible snorkeling. For true scuba enthusiasts, don’t miss your chance to dive in the Great Blue Hole, one of Jacques Cousteau’s favorite dive spots.

4 FOODIE DESTINATIONS IN

MEXICO

YOU NEED TO VISIT NOW

Mexican food has never been more popular with Americans, and it’s not hard to see why. The cuisine’s bold flavors and range of ingredients are enough to start a fiesta in your mouth at first bite. But if you’re in search of more authentic dishes than the burritos offered at your local Taco Bell, head south of the border towards these favored foodie destinations.

LIBERTY TRAVEL | CALL 1.866.823.5788

Los Cabos The Baja Peninsula’s claim to culinary fame lies in the bounty of its surrounding seas.

Fish tacos were invented in this area, and as a vacationer’s paradise, Los Cabos boasts numerous restaurants for savoring this delectable dish.

Día de Muertos Skulls

Oaxaca This Central Mexican city has a reputation as the epicenter for Day of the Dead celebrations.

But beyond this painted facade lies a city cloaked in colonial charm and rich culinary traditions. Oaxaca’s most notable dish has to be the tlayuda, a crispy tortilla covered in mole, cheese, and meat. Think of it as a Mexican pizza.

Cochinita Pibil

Cabo San Lucas

Puebla This city’s cuisine, much like its history and culture, is undeniably rich. This is where mole was perfected, and its delicious fare ranges from savory entrées like meat-stuffed poblano chilies to sweet traditional treats found along the aptly named “Candy Street.”

Merida Just three hours west of Cancún lies the Yucatan’s capital in both title and cuisine.

Blending European and Mayan techniques, Merida’s food scene offers the area’s classic specialties, such as sopa de lima, cochinita pibil, and queso relleno.

5 CITIES LOVERS LOVE THE US IS FOR LOVERS

FOR 2018

Chicago, Illinois

26

LIBERTY TRAVEL | CALL 1.866.823.5788

Our country is one of great opportunity, especially when it comes to unforgettable travel experiences.

From sea to shining sea, America’s great cities offer the perfect setting for couples to get lost exploring.

Stunning architecture, stimulating food scenes, and exciting arts and entertainment have made these cities the best destinations for an extended date.

Boston, Massachusetts Beantown’s claim to fame might be the integral role it played in the birth of our nation, but Boston also happens to be an excellent choice for a revolutionary rendezvous. Be sure to take a long romantic walk down the Freedom Trail to visit some of the most significant historical sites of the American Revolution. If all that exploring leaves you feeling famished, grab a freshly made lobster roll and crafty cocktail in the upand-coming Seaport District, or head to the North End for an endless array of restaurants serving some of the best Italian food you’ll ever taste.

Charleston, South Carolina It’s hard not to be swept up by this city’s old Southern charm. Voted America’s Most Romantic City by Travel & Leisure, Charleston is brimming with romantic activities like strolling down tree-lined streets or relaxing in the comfort of a horse-drawn carriage.

Bustling Downtown is always a great spot to soak up Charleston’s rich history, but a sunset cruise around the harbor is sure to set your hearts aflutter. Take a tour of the famous Magnolia Plantation and sneak off in its surrounding gardens for a little alone time.

For the ultimate R&R — romance and relaxation — experience, spend a long afternoon at the Spa at Belmond Charleston Place.

Seattle, Washington The views from atop the Space Needle promise to be breathtaking — and they definitely deliver. But even back on the ground, you’ll never be far from stunning sights no matter where you find yourselves in this city. From majestic mountains to vast seascapes, Seattle’s surrounding nature offers unparalleled beauty. Stop at iconic Pike Place Market to grab a cup of coffee from the original Starbucks before wandering through the stalls and stores for locally sourced delicacies like wines, cheeses, and meats. Take your smorgasbord to one of Seattle’s many parks or to the waterfront for a seaside picnic.

Nashville, Tennessee Line dance your way to Music City, USA. Renowned as the epicenter of country music, Nashville is a fan favorite for lovers of every genre. Walk down almost any street in this city and you’re sure to hear notes from a live band pouring from a nearby bar or venue. Celebrate Nashville’s living music legacy with a concert at the Grand Ole Opry, or discover its past at notable spots like the Musicians Hall of Fame or the Historic RCA Studio B. If you can manage to pull yourself away from the music, schedule a date to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery or Nashville’s very own replica of The Parthenon.

Chicago, Illinois At first glance, Chicago is a shining city on the shores of Lake Michigan with their own take on one of America’s favorite Italian dishes. But with a closer look, you’ll soon realize the charms and excitement of the Windy City delves so much deeper than its pizza. One of your first stops has to be Cloud Gate, a bean-like sculpture that perfectly captures Chicago’s mesmerizing skyline in its reflection. The theater scene rivals that of Broadway, so catch a show after you’ve enjoyed an internationally inspired dinner from one of the city’s acclaimed eateries. If all of these activities have you feeling winded, take a nice relaxing ride on the Centennial Wheel and cuddle with your cutie while enjoying the incredible views of Chicago.

Travel has a way of bringing couples closer together. Discovering new places and enjoying unique experiences creates wonderful memories that add to the story of your relationship.

Celebrate your love for each other and our country by exploring its great cities together, and get exclusive perks when you book with Liberty Travel.

Take a short CITYbreaks vacation or hit the road with the one you love on a Discoveries getaway. Call your travel consultant today to start planning your 2018 romantic retreat now.

ME, MYSELF, AND I

GO SOLO IN

AUSTRALIA We asked Kristen Malaby and Sarah Postler from Tourism Australia to share their favorite must-see spots, exciting activities, and offbeat experiences for discovering their alluring country for yourself.

LIBERTY TRAVEL | CALL 1.866.823.5788

When it comes to life changing travel, nothing could be more impactful than going it alone. We know what you might be thinking — “Me, exploring foreign lands by myself?” Your hesitation is understandable, but once you make the leap, you’ll find that traveling solo is one of the most liberating, rewarding, and empowering experiences of your life. And with its unparalleled eco-thrills, city excitement, and unanimous welcoming nature, Australia is the perfect place to discover yourself as your new favorite travel companion.

Meet Some Awesome Aussies Since you’ll be traveling solo, this is the perfect opportunity to make some new friends abroad, and Australia’s sociable citizens will welcome you with open arms. They’re a travel-loving bunch that enjoy sharing time and stories with fellow wanderers. Don’t be surprised if you’re frequently invited to join them for a meal or even to explore parts of their exciting country with them. The locals from the Land Down Under suggest striking up a conversation over a drink. Meander to Southern Australia’s celebrated McLaren Vale wine region to visit the new d’Arenberg Cube.

Built by the legendary winery of the same name, this Rubik’s Cube-esque building turned wine tasting room, art gallery, and entertainment center has interesting architecture that alone is enough to inspire a chat with fellow patrons.

Sync Up with Solos Australia’s lone adventure potential is no secret, and you’re guaranteed to run into quite few sole seekers along your own journey.

The eastern coast state of Queensland particularly calls to bold backpackers, gap-year globetrotters, and ever-roaming vagabonds, and offers plenty of opportunities to meet them; take a surf lesson in Australia’s playground the Gold Coast, join a vineyard tour in Southern Queensland, and hop on a

sailing adventure around The Whitsunday Islands. Bonus: This region also happens to hold some of Australia’s most sought after sights.

It Doesn’t Get Greater Than This Speaking of sailing around The Whitsundays, this breathtaking assortment of idyllic islands and pristine sandbars is the heart of the Great Barrier Reef — with an aptly shaped coral reef formation to prove it.

There’s perhaps nothing that will leave you with a greater impact as the largest living structure on Earth. Snorkeling around its vibrant corals and the abundance of unique creatures is truly a brag-worthy experience that cannot be missed. And if the Whitsundays aren’t on your agenda, you can access this natural marvel from many points along Queensland’s coast, from the laid-back city of Cairns to the well preserved corals just off the sands of Arlie Beach.

Delve Deep in the Outback To capture the true essence of Australia, follow the red sandy roads into its famous Outback. From the acres of incredible views to iconic Uluru, the Northern Territory in particular is the embodiment of the country’s Aboriginal past and pioneering soul. In addition to the must-see spots, like the Devil’s Marbles, we recommend venturing

off the grid to Nitmiluk National Park. Here, you’ll not only be mesmerized by the natural beauty of eco-sites like Nitmiluk — also known as Katherine — Gorge, but you’ll also have a chance to soak up the spirit of the Outback by swimming or canoeing around volcanic pools and meeting up with fellow explorers on the Jatbula Trail, a five-day adventure through the park featuring true off-the-beaten path scenery, waterfalls, and Aboriginal rock art.

See the Cities Australia’s eco-wonders may be its claim to fame, but its assortment of energetic cities, each with their own unique character and more different from the last, are definitely worth an urban adventure. Whether you crave the renowned landmarks found in iconic Sydney, the culture and food scene of ever-evolving Melbourne, the go-with-theflow vibes of always sunny Brisbane, or the youthful, active atmosphere of fun-loving Perth, there’s no shortage of metropolitan escapades. Wherever your wandering heart leads you, our Aussie friends tell us the best way to introduce yourself to their cities is with a walking tour. Plus, you can even choose an itinerary that’s geared towards your particular interests, such as an architecture, food, or street art tour.

Traveling by yourself can seem intimidating at first, but Australia has the cure for all your fears. After your life-changing adventure filled with endless new tales, memories, and friends, you’ll be ready to book your next unaccompanied expedition.

Call your Liberty Travel consultant today and start planning your own self-discovering Journey to Australia.

HONEYMOON

IN PARADISE The Islands of Tahiti

Your honeymoon is the first vacation of your married life, which makes it one of the most important trips you’ll ever take. So when you decide where you’re headed, you want to make sure it’s somewhere memorable. Somewhere with sunshine to spare, white-sand beaches, overwater bungalows…we just described the Islands of Tahiti, didn’t we?

World-Renowned Beauty There are some very good reasons why the Islands of Tahiti are one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world.

Seclusion, for one — it’s far enough away to avoid any unwanted interruptions, but still easy to get to, with just one stop required when traveling from New York. It’s uniquely beautiful, so every one of your vacation photos will have a stunning backdrop. The Islands of Tahiti are the perfect place to do whatever you want, whether that’s sailing the ocean, snorkeling a lagoon, or nothing more than lying by the water and hearing the waves lap at the sand. Besides, who can say no to an overwater bungalow?

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

38

LIBERTY TRAVEL | CALL 1.866.823.5788

Island Hopping A Tahiti honeymoon also means the opportunity for island hopping through French Polynesia, either by land or sea. Tahiti is the biggest and most populous of the islands, as well as being home to the city of Papeete, where you can shop to your heart’s content and eat at some great restaurants where the cuisine reflects the multi-ethnic nature of French Polynesia. It’s easy to get out of the city, and most accommodations are a short taxi ride from downtown.

Perhaps the most famous island of the archipelago is Bora Bora, less than an hour flight away from Tahiti. Home to the first overwater

bungalows, these unique accommodations quickly became an icon of French Polynesia.

Islands like Huahine and Moorea have their charms as well. Moorea is largely rural but is home to the Tiki Village, where you can see a replica of a traditional Tahitian village, learn about the Polynesian way of life, have a fantastic buffet dinner, and see an amazing show. In Huahine, you can tour the stunning lagoons via motorized canoe, with opportunities to see coral gardens, various villages, and the pearl farms from which the famous Tahitian black pearls come.

However you choose to spend it, a trip to the Islands of Tahiti with your new spouse is guaranteed to be an unforgettable start to your new life together. Call your Liberty Travel consultant today to plan your unforgettable honeymoon trip to the Islands of Tahiti, and ask about turning your getaway into a Journeys vacation with the services of a Travel Butler and exclusive perks you won’t find anywhere else.
