Over the past few months I’ve traveled to Aruba, Costa Rica and now Guatemala and to sum it up for those who aren’t sure what type of vacation they are looking for, I thought I’d offer you a brief synopsis.
If you’re looking for a tropical getaway but still need that European/Americanized flair complete with luxury shopping, then Aruba is the right place for you. If you’re looking for more of an adventurous excursion with resorts only feet away from tropical forests, then it’s Costa Rica for sure. But if it’s peace and quiet with old world culture and handcrafted goods, then Casa Palopó in Guatemala is the perfect fit.

Passing through mist-shrouded mountains, past temples hidden in lush forests, from Thailand to Laos, Malaysia and Singapore, the Eastern & Oriental Express invites you to explore the wonders of Asia. There are three grades of beautifully appointed private cabins, all of which are paneled with cherry wood and elm burr. A plush banquet style sofa keeps you comfortable during the day andconverts into beds for travel at night. With its large picture windows, air conditioning, and private bathroom and shower, your cabin is a relaxing home away from home. Enjoy breakfast in your cabin before heading out to theopen-air Observation Car, and from there out on an exciting adventure. Discover the beauty of these countries by rail from the luxury of the wonderful Eastern & Oriental Express.
