Happy New Year!The holidays were a whirlwind for me, between kids’ events, out-of-town visitors and a little too much football. What I didn’t get accomplished was finalizing my summer family vacation plans or my annual trip with my wife and another with my buddies. I did get around to making a few New Year’s resolutions and one of them was to get all that planning done before Valentine’s Day. If this sounds familiar at your house (particularly if you are a husband), perhaps this newsletter can help. As always, our team has uncovered some new and interesting destinations and ideas to share with you. I am sure there is something here that may pique your interest and help you get those plans moving.

If you have never had an all-inclusive resort experience, you will be in for a treat. Think of it as a land-based cruise ship vacation – but a truly luxurious one since we are talking about all-inclusive properties of The Registry Collection® program. Enjoy spacious accommodations, pools, beaches, entertainment and multiple dining locations with all food and beverages included*. In this issue we have highlighted four of our all-inclusive properties; one of them may be perfect for your family or just the two of you.

If you like unique events, you really should attend a Premiere or Behind-the-Scenes night at TOTEM, the new traveling show from Cirque du Soleil®. You can use credits to enjoy these two very special evening experiences.

If you play golf and love travel (and especially if it’s your turn to plan the annual golf outing), you owe it to yourself to go on a PerryGolf vacation. I have personally done this twice (once each to Scotland and Ireland) and I have to tell you both were way beyond my expectations. I can’t wait to go to England and Wales with them. They’ll even customize a trip for your group.

I hope this issue of The Registry Insider helps you finalize all those plans you really wanted to get done over the holidays. We enjoy writing it for you and resolve to uncover even more new and exciting things to do and places to visit in the future. In the meantime our reservation consultants are ready to help you plan truly memorable vacations for your family, the two of you, and your friends. After all, now that the holiday rush has passed, you need a vacation.

As a member of The Registry Collection® program, you can expect superlative service as well as access to a wide selection of exclusive properties around the globe. During a recent call to one of our Reservation Consultants, program member, Rebecca W., booked a stay at Emerald Estates by Pueblo Bonito Resorts in Mazatlán, Mexico. A Grand Mayan Member since 2006, Ms. W. had this to say about her membership experience:

“I have always said The Registry Collection has some of the best customer service of any business I have ever dealt with. Their representatives are patient, articulate and so helpful. I always hang up feeling like they were happy to take as much time as necessary to help me.

“The Registry Collection has never let me down when it comes to booking my vacations. As long as I provide a few options as far as destinations and a reasonable timeframe they have always met my request.”
