OPPORTUNITY TRAVEL Thinking Outside the Gift Box

A Gift to Treasure for a Lifetime
One of the most unique presents you can give

Dear Reader,
Finding someone… anyone… the perfect present is hard. I love picking out gifts for friends and family but I’m often left with a nagging feeling… did I choose the right thing?
Giving the gift of travel can make your holiday shopping easier and so much more meaningful…
And there’s a big, wide world out there… ready and waiting for you to share its beauty and wonder with that special someone.
My grandmother Bess loved discovering new places. She always told me to travel the world as much as possible and not wait until I was too old to enjoy it.
Her advice changed my life and laid out a path for my future.
When I was in high school and heading to Paris for the first time, she was right there at the airport for my send-off. I haven’t stopped traveling since!
Giving someone the gift of travel is one of the most wonderful things you can do. That gift will change their lives forever. And precious memories of their journey will always remind them of you.
Deciding how to gift someone with travel requires considerably more thought than buying a tie or a bathrobe. And the first thing you’ll need to do is consult with the recipient.
Yes, this spoils the surprise but ensures that your gift will be treasured.
Working with a travel professional can help you craft the trip of a lifetime… smooth your way through the details… and get the most out of your budget.
That’s where I come in.
Hi… my name is Barbara Perriello and I’m the Director of Opportunity Travel.
Many folks think of us as conference organizers or leading investment tours but in fact, we do quite a bit more than that. Since 1998, we’ve been creating customized luxury travel experiences for individuals and families.
With that in mind… I’d like to help you create that ideal gift of adventure. Let me begin with a few ideas to inspire you…
Make a dream come true

Cross one off their bucket list with an “off-the-map” adventure… like exploring the “coolest” continent on Earth – Antarctica! Tourism there is on the rise and unique experiences, like polar snorkeling with penguins and seals, watching a once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse (December 4, 2021), running a marathon (sells out three years in advance), and many more thrilling adventures await the intrepid traveler.

Another ‘do before I die’ favorite is an all-star safari adventure that sets down in Africa’s unforgettable parks and reserves. Luxury-class travelers can expect to be pampered and cared for every step of the way, dining privately in wild locations, exploring private game reserves all while staying in elegant private lodges.

Think India – a land of remarkable diversity. Not the chaotic huge cities but instead the tropical, south-western coastline of Kerala. Gorgeous beaches… scenic backwaters… tea, coffee and spice plantations in the mountains… lush forests… national parks home to elephants, tigers and monkeys – all can be found in this laid-back atmosphere.

Who doesn’t love the Caribbean?

Vivid blues and greens graced with sugar sand beaches… shimmering reefs and high mountain peaks… salsa, reggae and pirate hideouts. The Caribbean has it all and so much more. Accommodations range from high-rise hotels on the world’s top beaches to pampered luxury in secluded boutique villas… and everything in between. Everyone on your gift list dreams about these fabulous island destinations.

Experience the romance of the rails – from natural wonders to ancient kingdoms

South America’s first luxury sleeper train glides from Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire, to Machu Picchu and across the lofty Andean plains to the white city of Arequipa. Richly appointed 1920s Pullman-style carriages capture the glamour of a bygone world with elegance and old-fashioned charm, and take in Peru’s spectacular highlights en route.

Or travel by train in exquisite style through the heart of Southeast Asia along the legendary Silk Road. From stunning architecture to wondrous landscapes, it’s a remarkable adventure through the ancient world, following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great and Marco Polo.

Show your spouse or parents how special they are

Treat them to a picture-perfect second honeymoon steeped in sumptuous luxury and balmy trade winds. Sail off to Tahiti, French Polynesia and the South Pacific… where palm-fringed islands, turquoise lagoons, snow-white beaches and verdant tropical foliage are just the beginning. Beneath the ocean’s surface is another world, equally rich, with myriad marine life and colorful coral reefs.

“Glamping” – short for glamorous camping – is a popular and growing travel trend in the U.S. and around the world. It pairs destinations with the intimacy of camping and five-star luxury – the ultimate realization of ‘disconnect to reconnect’.

Take luxury to another dimension

Immerse them in nature with eco-luxury in the treetops. A rejuvenating spa and wellness center await… situated in a lush tropical forest offering dramatic panoramas of the Pacific coastline and its own private beach cove. World-class surfing is at the doorstep… along with endless options for a tranquil, unplugged getaway.

Family vacations with real life experiences

What greater gift than opening up the world to your children? My three kids have been traveling with me since they were little more than babies. Their first trip outside the U.S. took us to Belize when they were ages three, five and seven. Next we went to Honduras, Portugal, Spain and Canada before my oldest hit ten. Today, as adults they have great memories and a broader, more realistic view of the world.
After a trip to Roatan where my son Nick played soccer with local kids, he returned home and immediately packed up all the old cleats in our garage for me to take on my next trip… because most of the kids there didn’t have shoes.
The lessons learned are priceless.

To give you an idea of just how special the gift of travel can be, listen to what some of our clients have told us… We have to thank Barb Perriello for so many things! She makes traveling a pleasure with her professionalism mixed with her heart-and-soul love of what she does. She is so excited in sharing her vast knowledge and experience for making accommodations and details, and every aspect of a trip the very best possible memory for all! She has planned several trips for my husband and me, and also two family trips for us. The trip to China with son, daughter-in-law, and four grandsons was absolutely perfect in every way, from flights, hotels and guide to activities that even teenage boys enjoyed! We actually made a lifetime friend of the contact in China. Wouldn’t think of using anyone other than Barb to plan a trip for me!  —J. Jackson Marc Lichtenfeld, The Oxford Club’s Chief Income Strategist sent us this wonderful note following his family vacation in Italy… Barb created the trip of a lifetime for my family and me. Our two weeks in Italy were fantastic. Barb was easy to work with, listening to what we wanted and made great suggestions. We wanted to take a trip that my kids would remember for the rest of their lives. Mission accomplished. Thanks for creating amazing memories, Barb! Bill A. is a life-long world traveler with a keen appreciation for beautiful hotels and architecture, fine dining, great service… and those exceptional experiences that seasoned journeyers treasure. He was looking for a unique experience with his son. Bill also wanted to include Buenos Aires (on his list of top five cities in the world) and their shared passion for horses and skiing… and in August to boot! “Barbara Perriello has a way of arranging trips that make it personal and yet loads of fun and adventure. With her guidance, you get the best picture of where you’re visiting. We had the most wonderful trip. Her guides met us at every destination, and cared for us in every way. Our city hotels were the best and one in fact, was in my opinion the most beautiful in the world. We visited a hacienda on the Pampas and it was such fun being real-life Argentine “gauchos” for a few days. We also went skiing at Ushaia in the Patagonia region, at the southernmost tip of South America… literally the “end of the world”.

It’s totally appropriate to gift yourself too!
From beginning to end, Opportunity Travel will work with you to create that perfect gift… or your own fantasy adventure.
Specially-trained guides, private transfers, fascinating tours and a comfortable bed at the end of the day are all part of our special brand of service.
Be Inspired! Change someone’s life this holiday season by giving them an opportunity to see the world…
And why not join them yourself?
Call us today and let us help you plan your travel gift… an experience that will last a lifetime.

Barbara Perriello, Director
