Greetings from Thailand!

This first newsletter of March means the long winter of discontent is nearly over, and while I had not-so-secretly hoped we might have an opportunity to travel somewhere by the end of the spring, it sadly will not be the case.

The first Wheel & Anchor LiveAways programs for 2022 have been announced - and one of the destinations is the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Here’s a taste of what you can expect...

I'm delighted to announce the release this week of our second LiveAways program, this time to the Portuguese outpost of Madeira, slated for February 2022. Think stunning coastlines, fantastic Portuguese wine, and some really great hiking and walking trails.

As Gordon announced recently, some of you will be heading to Thailand in January next year, Wheel & Anchor’s first LiveAways destination. 

You’ll be soaking up absurd amounts of sunshine, loosening all those knotted muscles you acquired in 2020 by taking endless massages, exploring an utterly fascinating country that truly feels half a world away from Europe and the Americas - and, of course, stuffing your faces with some of the best food in Southeast Asia (which is saying a lot).

You’re also going to encounter a fun way to quench your thirst that might, very briefly, fill you with utter terror.

Well, certainly the dominant news of the week from a travel perspective is the new restrictions slowing international travel to and from Canada. And while it's not the message we might be wishing to hear, the reality is that it's not a great time to be moving about, and it's going to take a collective effort to get us through this.
