Weekly Travel Update

Can you believe it is already June? What a difference a year makes.
We approach this summer with great excitement as conditions around the world continue to progress. Ten ships now have approval from the CDC to either operate out of U.S. ports or at least begin their required test cruises. It seems like every day we are greeted with news that another European country will soon be reopening borders. This week, France and Ireland both were added to our list of countries soon to be open.
Your team of advisors is particularly excited to be able to answer the question we are asked often - "Where is your next trip?" After a year+ of rescheduling, canceling, and postponing plans, we are very happy to report, we all have some adventures to look forward to again.
The adventures you've been dreaming about are very important to us! As you browse through the list of trips we are escorting below, if you have a suggestion or a small group you'd like to see us organize, please share - we love making additions to the list!
Tracy just returned from a beautiful long weekend in the Dominican Republic and is excited to share what she learned. Her next adventure will be aboard Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Voyage cruise!
Cindy recently visited Puerto Rico. Next on her agenda is a cruise in the Greek Isles with Atlas Cruises, an Amawaterways Wine cruise this fall, and then a Safari in Botswana with African Travel. Let your Wallace Pierson Travel advisor know if you are interested in joining her for any of these.
Debbie is excited to cruise the Mississippi River this November with American Queen Steamboat Co. In May of 2022, she'll be escorting a group on a Tauck Douro River Cruise. Then, next December, she's off to Antarctica with Silversea. Your advisor is happy to share details if you are interested in joining.
Lynann's next adventure is an Expedition to the Galapagos with Lindblad Expeditions and her niece, Ashleigh is joining her. She then joins Debbie on the American Queen Steamboat in the fall. These ladies earned this cruise due to being Cruise Icons in the Virtuoso network. Ask us what that means for you on your travels!
Ange is excited to lead a small group to Mongolia with Nomadic Expeditions. She and Angela will be heading to Las Vegas in August for a new experience of our longtime favorite, Virtuoso Travel Week. Ange and Angela will also be in Austria in October for the Virtuoso Symposium for agency owners. In November, Ange heads to Morocco for the event PURE.
Eric & Angela (and the girls) will be touring a bit of the U.S. this summer, all are excited to get back on the road! They will be happy to share their experiences at many Virtuoso hotels. This November, Eric and Angela (without the girls) will be escorting a small group to Egypt with Big Five Tours & Expeditions. Next year, the whole family will be on a Tauck Bridges family river cruise on the Danube. Your advisor can share details if you would like to join them.
Dawn is looking forward to her cruise on Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Voyage as well! The first tattoo parlor at sea, his private island themed for Ibiza, and all the other super cool and unique experience that only the Virgin brand would dare!
Mike is booked on the inaugural sailing of NCL's new "Luxury In Between" option, PRIMA! Let us know if you are interested in this brand new concept. Think pools on the side of the ship and engines in the middle, rather than the back... even more space on the back of the ship for YOU to have even more exciting experiences!

It is time to visit (or revisit) the magical lands of Africa! Allow us to introduce you to our Premier Preferred Partner, Micato Safaris. Micato can show Africa to you in ways you never knew existed. From private residences and small camps that are exclusively for you, to the finest hotels in the big cities, every last detail is customized exactly for you!
There is a reason Jack Hanna always traveled with Micato. Ange, Lynann, Tracy, Angela, Eric and the girls all understand now that they've had the pleasure of experiencing a Micato Safari and are happy to share their life changing experiences with you.
When you are ready for a reset and to have peacefulness surround you, let us introduce you! We hope you enjoy the video as much as we do!
