“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
1. Nicaragua Escape
Retreat to a tranquil hideaway overlooking the white sands beaches of the Pacific Ocean at Aqua Wellness Resort.

She will relax, play, and decompress in a beautiful rainforest setting.
2. Alaska Northern Lights
Join Gondwana EcoTours on a Northern Lights tour of Alaska. Mom will get a dose of local culture by day, and by night have the opportunity to photograph the Aurora Borealis under the massive Alaskan sky! She will zip between snow-covered trees on the back of a dog-sled, soak in the mineral-rich waters of geothermal hot springs, walk through the frozen art of an ice-sculpture museum, and sip martinis out of glasses made of ice.

From cattle drives to branding, the true western lifestyle thrives at Red Reflet.
8. Diamond Circle Tour of Iceland
The land of fire and ice, active volcanoes and glaciers! Countless geysers, hot pots, and fumaroles dot the Icelandic landscape. These unique features create a landscape filled with incredible waterfalls, lakes, mountains and stories of trolls and elves.
