PROCIDA is the subject of this episode of Travel Talk Tuesday. This tiny island is in the north of the bay of Naples, lying between Cape Minseno and the island of Ischia. With just 1.6 square miles of real estate, it is small, compact, and easy to experience in one day. Its 10,500 residents are actual locals, real people, making a living on farming, fishing, tourism, and running shops. In this episode, I experience and tour the island on foot and on a scooter. It was a lot of fun!

Recently, I visited all five villages of the Cinque Terre, in one 10-hour day. This episode of Travel Talk Tuesday features my experiences at the end of the day in Corniglia and Vernazza. Ride the little shuttle bus to the top of town, explore the tidy little square, and sip an apertivo. Then let’s cap off the day with dinner on Vernazza’s quiet harbor.

On October 21st, 2020, we will participate in the first-ever Virtual Travel & Adventure Show! This virtual event focuses specifically on European travel, featuring the top destinations, tour operators, and travel suppliers from around the world that specialize in travel to Europe. All of this is “virtual,” and it has been an adventure building out my booth in the last few weeks. I hope you drop by for a chat or a zoom meet-up.
I’ll be speaking on the DESTINATION STAGE about my favorite destinations, travel tips, and tours for 2021 and 2022. This is pre-recorded and available to view during show hours (5:00 pm-10:00 pm).
I am also featured on the new OTT channel, TRAVELSHOWS.TV! Additionally, that other travel guy, Rick Steves, will be speaking as well.
Of course, it would be great if you’d sign up for one or two of my 2021 and 2022 tours to Europe. It only cost $25 to hold your seat, and it is totally refundable should you decide not to travel.
As a bonus, I am offering a $100 discount on any tour booked during the Virtual Travel and Adventure Show and a $200 discount on any of my new Eastern Europe and Balkans tours. This is in addition to any other “alumni” discounts to which you are entitled. And by the way, this is the only time my complete tour line-up will be discounted in the foreseeable future. So signup for a tour. You have nothing to lose!
Finally, at 7:00 pm, I’ll be at my booth for a live zoom meeting discussing my new Eastern Europe and Balkans tours as well as chatting you up and answering questions. Get your favorite apertivo, and join me!
Since I consider you one of our VIP travel partners, I’d like to pass along this exclusive code that allows you free tickets to visit our virtual booth and experience the entire show. Follow this link and enter promo code: VTAS100DMEE on the ticket selection screen to unlock the free ticket option.
I’m looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday, October 21st, at the Virtual Travel & Adventure Show focusing on Europe!
Are you itching to travel in 2021? I am too! We’ve rolled out all twenty of our tours visiting 13 countries in Europe, hoping this pandemic will be in the rearview mirror by Spring 2021. I’ve participated in more than my fair share of tourism-focused zoom calls and webinars in the past months. Early on, the news was dismal. No tourists anywhere! But, after almost eight months of a travel lockdown, surveys indicate Americans are ready to get out there and get back to traveling. But, they want to do it safely and sensibly!
Like many, I want to get out there and go, but I want to be safe at it. That probably means holding off until a vaccine is developed and widely available. However, we’ve prepared all or departures, booked hotels, and have transportation standing by, in hopes that we all can get back to traveling early next year. With that hope, why not take a look at the tours we are offering for 2021 and provisionally sign-up for one? It will cost you a mere $25 to sign-up, and that is fully refundable up until 30-days before your tour departure. I’ve put all my tour resources online, in one place. You find all of this and more at https://davidmcguffin.com/tours/.
Check out my tours and departure dates,
browse digital scrapbooks from our alumni,
find out about the McGuffin travel style, and why it’s different (and better) than most others,
experience what it is like being on tour by following the day-to-day activities of a David McGuffin group in Ireland,
Browse or print my entire tour catalog.
Finally, I’ve got several projects cooking on the front burner and about ready to premiere. Stay tuned to my website, this newsletter, and my social media pages for more information in the coming week. Until then, I wish you all the best. Stay safe, be sure to social distance, wash your hands often, and wear a mask.
