Champlainer’s Amazing Vacations!

Travel vicariously through the photos some of our colleagues have taken on recent escapes to beautiful, sunny places!

Jenn Gingras-Green: My son and his wife had to postpone their destination wedding due to Covid in 2020. They were able to get married in Negril on the same date one year later. In November, 2021, I traveled to Jamaica for the first time and it was amazing! Beautiful place, beautiful people and delicious food. So much fun!

Roland Palmer: My husband and I took our grandchildren (Alex and Robyn) to Florida for a week. Neither of them had been to Florida and one of them had never been to a beach. In addition to lots of beach time we went to Adventure Island water park and Busch Gardens (Tampa) where we got to feed giraffes in addition to riding lots of rollercoasters.

Whitney Feininger: I spent a week in February in sunny Playa del Carmen, Mexico with several friends (most of whom are Champlain alumni and former employees – maybe you see some familiar faces in the group photo?) My favorite part of the trip was swimming in the cenotes — freshwater springs in caves!

Josh Blumberg: I went rock climbing in southern Utah with friends. Rock climbing forces me to clear my head of thoughts and focus on the immediate situation. After the past few years, I am finding this to be more important than ever. Warm and sunny weather helped as well.
Veronica Lewis: We spent a long weekend skiing at Big Sky in Montana! Not exactly warm, but plenty of sun and even enjoyed a day of fresh powder 🙂
Caitlin Hollister: Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon in February – phenomenal! Highly recommend Kanab, UT as a launch spot, and Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is a must.

Danielle L’Esperance: London! My best friend graduated from WSET with her wine diploma. We had tea at the Ritz and took a day trip to Highclere Castle.

Rebecca Mills: Cancu’n, Mexico. The first time that I have ever taken time to just sit and enjoy sunshine, sand, water, good food and a good book for multiple days. No agenda. Just rest. Ahhhh!
