FROM THE COCKPIT
MD’s Message
2010 has come and gone in the blink of an eye. With
the economy picking up, we can certainly celebrate the
conclusion of the year with great food, great company and
great holidays!
In this issue, we take you around the world to see how
various cultures celebrate this time of year. We have
also come up with some delightfully tasty and healthy
alternatives to your usual Christmas dinners of turkey and
ham, so do enjoy the recipes. And with festive goodies
tempting you everywhere you turn, we have also included
a handy guide on how to keep tabs on your calorie intake
and avoid festive weight gain.
In our centrefold is a pullout calendar for 2011 with major
regional holidays indicated so as to help you start planning
for your next vacation. Consider unusual destinations such
as Ireland and the Dominican Republic, which we have
covered in this issue. Or plan your time off to coincide
with the thrilling annual sailing Regatta in Koh Samui from
30th May to 4th June 2011.
I am looking forward to an exciting 2011 when we will be
bringing you more exciting products, services and updates,
more articles on off-the-beaten-track travel destinations,
and more recipes, health tips and travel advice. Till the next
issue, I wish you happy holidays!
