Collette is introducing a new concept called modular touring and is launching it with their new Wonders of South America cornerstone itinerary which is on sale now with departures starting in May 2012.
Personally, I think the idea is a good one.

I know we are barely a week into summer, but if you don’t already have a summer vacation planned, why not look ahead to travel September through December?
While many Collette passengers do travel in the summer months (the Canadian Rockies are beautiful this time of year), many of our clients opt to travel in the [...]
Here in New England the temperature has been hovering at zero. Old Man Winter has us in his grips and with more snow predicted, he doesn’t seem ready to loosen his stranglehold any time soon.
In spin class the other day, IÂ pedaled furiously in an attempt to break a sweat and get warm for the first [...]
We’ve all heard it; drinking a glass of red wine daily promotes good health. Though I’ve never needed an excuse to enjoy a glass of wine, having it validated makes it taste even better!
Travelers continue to search for tours with a wine component. There are many places to learn about wine making and its subtle [...]

After our Porteños city tour yesterday, we had the afternoon and evening free! As much as I enjoy the guided parts on tour (where else can you learn so much covering so much ground in such a short time), the free time is exciting because you have a chance to see things that interest you. [...]
Just back from the Porteños tour of the capital of Buenos Aires with our new local guide, Marcella, and one word comes to mind…EVITA!
We start out driving around the Obelisk and make the first photo stop practically across the street from our hotel crossing the 16 lanes of Avenida 9 de Julio. The Teatro Colón, [...]
Today started off on a healthy note. Our tour manager, Kevin, who has competed in a triathlon, has convinced me to run through the streets of Buenos Aires with him this morning. In my defense, I spin, hike, walk, do the elliptical trainer, lift weights occasionally …running, however, is not my thing. My chiropractor will [...]
