Summer is coming

[Bev Malzard]

Currently planning the summer issue of Get Up & Go magazine - bit late in working on this as I've been travelling for almost a month.

We had the Australian Society of Travel Writers' Annual general meeting in Rotorua NZ last month, and I participated in a fabulous famil in the region of Otago in Nz's South Island.

Then a day after I returned home to Sydney, I  took off for a famil with Trafalgar to experience the Be My Guest programs in France (Provence) and Italy (Tuscany)  - too wonderful. Gained about three kilos but damn, the food was good. We did cooking classs with a top chef, watched a macaron maestro make the sweeties, caught the TGV from Paris to Avignon and flew from Nice to Rome - it was a wonderful whirlwind.

So, I have much to do - in fact I have to start writing up a cruise I did in September from Athens to Turkey!

I have featured our latest cover - please enjoy the archived stories on our website: www.getupandgo.net.au

And read all about my visit to istanbul!

Happy travels . . .
