Happy Holidays! Our December 2012 Newsletter!

Milford Track, New Zealand - perhaps our favorite walk in the world!

Greetings friends, clients, and global partners!

 

Season greetings to all of you! We have much to be thankful for. Our family and co-workers are blessed with good health and wonderful opportunities. With trips planned to Cambodia/Thailand, Africa, and France/Switzerland in 2013, Bev, Zen and I have decided once again to spend the year-end school break in our beloved (frosty!) Chicago.

 

It has become somewhat of a Lynch family tradition to take our propitious sunrise New Year's walk around idyllic North Pond in our Lincoln Park neighborhood (perhaps we will see you and your family there, Joe). As always, Lord Tennyson's "Ring Out" poem is our trusted inspirational companion!

 

Enjoy reading our December luxury e-newsletter update, featuring thoughts of experiences and altruism, our much-loved New Zealand and other winter getaways, including India and Cambodia/Thailand + seasons greetings from Zen!

 

Safe travels + Happy C-H-K to all!

Bali's idyllic lush rice fields - among our favorite natural wonders in all of Southeast Asia!

The election is finally over and we wish all of you a fruitful Thanksgiving. Based on our many travels abroad, Bev, Zen and I truly appreciate and are grateful for the life we have in the U.S. - so many blessings and a truly amazing place to live!

Since Zen and her cousins are big fans of the festive Christmas/New Years activities we will stay in Chicago late December. Our next sojourn will be a return trip to Cambodia/Thailand during the February school early spring break. On the Cambodia part of this trip we will be accompanied by noteworthy Dutch 
photographer Eric DeVries. Hard to believe that at age 12, this will be Zen's 15th trip to Asia!

Please enjoy reading our November luxury e-newsletter, including the passeggiata of Italy, Varanasi, Burma, Bali and of course, Zen's Journal!

Zen caught at the Colosseum by photographer Alessandro Michelazzi

Bev, Zen, her cousins Sofia, Coco and I just returned from a short whirlwind private tour of Rome and Florence/Siena. Based on Zen's 5th grade studies of Roman history, we were on a mission to see all the grandeur of ancient Rome. Included was a fun stopover at a special kids Gladiator School - in this case, the girls really did rule!

Our after-hours private tour of the Vatican was a unique, special highlight - a stark contrast to the throngs visiting during the day. Our accompanying fashion photographer, Alessandro Michelazzi, was still another fun experience.United MileagePlus members will be happy to hear of our soon to be announced collaboration in September. We are most grateful and humbled to serve the globe's number one mileage program!
