Hello from the Pacific Northwest section of the USA.

It is the hope of Travelsavvynews to make each of your journeys special and individualized. We hope you have as much fun discovering all the opportunities as we have had researching and writing about them. Bon Voyage!

WELCOME

The advent of Summer always brings fun adventure. This months e-zine is full of ideas for you to mull over.

Barbara Barton Sloane, repeat contributor, writes the insider’s viewpoint of the Creole Gountry in ONLY IN AMERICA, I take you on several journeys—San Francisco—Old and New, in FEATURED DESTINATIONS and a view of Fort Smith, Arkansas in ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Don’t forget to look carefully at the suggested ideas in OREGON HIGHLIGHTS---from eastern Oregon, to central Oregon to the coast—things are happening. And, of course, PLUGGED IN takes in a wide scope of the USA and this month, a special mention of Quebec. I hope you will find all this as interesting and motivating as I have while writing it. To quote Henry James, "One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things."

Happy Trails.
