The World’s Top Havens COLOMBIA Mention that you’re going to Colombia, and people think you’re crazy. But they haven’t been there, and chances are their impression of Colombia is decades out of date. Located at the northern tip of South America, Colombia is where the Pacific and the Caribbean collide with the Andes and the Amazon. It’s a country that is more beautiful, dramatic, and diverse than nearly any other. It offers sparkling colonial cities and world-famous resorts along the Caribbean.

No matter your taste in lifestyle, Panama has something to suit you. You could choose to live in a quiet mountain town or by a tropical beach graced with swaying palms. You could take in a play, see an opera, or |

The World’s Top Havens PORTUGAL Rocky, rugged Atlantic coasts where salt spray mists the air…green hills and winding country roads…medieval towns perched above deep river gorges…graceful cities of broad boulevards and bustling cafés… Portugal, continental Europe’s westernmost country, lies quietly in the shadow of the larger, more boisterous Spain. With a sliver of coastline and an interior that can take you back centuries in time, Portugal in many ways still belongs to an earlier era. People are friendly and courteous, with an almost courtly manner. Family and friends are important, and people know their neighbors and the local shopkeepers. Ancient buildings look worn and lived-in, and quiet, cobbled lanes wind through seaside villages. |

Southeast Asia has a lot to offer…the clean and ordered island state of Singapore…the endless island-hopping opportunities offered up by Indonesia (over 18,000 islands to choose from)…the mystical and awe-inspiring temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia…the adventure of discovering the often-forgotten and wonderfully laidback Laos…and Vietnam, which is back on its feet. |

Just think of its warmth, style, and wonderful food…its excitable people and their zest for life…its art treasures and the architectural glories of its magnificent past… |
