Welcome
If you haven’t started already, now is an ideal time to start planning your next dream vacation or weekend getaway. In this edition of our RCI Endless Vacation magazine we entice you to explore exotic China (pg11). With an expanding network of high-speed trains (traveling at speeds up to 190 miles per hour), and a spider web of domestic flights, access can be gained to almost every town in China. We also share some top spots for you to celebrate and welcome in the New Year (pg6).
Food and the occasional drink are an integral part of traveling for me. Lucky for me our story on the wonderful wine, beer and food trail offered in regional Victoria, Australia gave me the inside knowledge of where to go next time I’m visiting “down under” (page 22). Whether you’re a foodie or not, nothing connects you to a place like eating and the local wines.
Check out our Travel Health feature on the importance of Vitamin D (pg31) and kick start your day with some great detox juice recipes (pg10).
Discover which roller coaster ride is waiting for you at the Gold Coast’s world class theme parks (pg37) and don’t forget to fasten your seatbelt!
Top it all off with a weekend getaway to remember at the beautiful Tioman Island, one of Malaysia’s jewels of the sea or the spectacular Palawan Island in the Philippines known for
its tropical beaches and wildlife sanctuaries. Palawan is also home to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park recently listed as one of new 7 Wonders of Nature.
Don’t forget to check out our members stories and find out who was the winner of the “Treasure Hunt, Find the 40s and win an IPAD” competition (pg40) from our previous edition of the Endless Vacation Magazine.
As always thanks for your continued support and loyalty to RCI. Have a great time planning your next holiday and travel safely.
