Hello Sports Leisure Travelers and Friends,
Happy New Year from all your friends at Sports Leisure Vacations! We hope 2026 is filled with every good thing for you and yours. Whereas we may be a bit biased, we can think of no better thing to enjoy in the new year than TRAVEL. If you agree, then read on. This newsletter is most definitely for you!
We are super excited about the large number of New Vacations & Getaways presented on pages 9-14. There you’ll find the Laguna Pageant of the Masters, South Dakota, our annual trip to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, Ghost Towns of Nevada and the western half of Route 66 celebrating The Mother Road’s Centennial. Looking for something a little further from home that requires a passport? How about Oktoberfest in Canada (paired with spectacular Niagara Falls) or Mexico’s equally spectacular Copper Canyon?
In The Tour Calendar you’ll find vacations with space available from our 2026 Dream Book. Mark wants to be sure baseball fans don’t overlook Spring Training on page 15 which is now in final operations. Game ticket purchases must be wrapped up soon, so don’t delay.
We have an exciting selection of Daycations & Theatre Outings through July on pages 6-7 including the Phantom’s triumphal return to the Bay Area this summer.
Curious or concerned about changes at Southwest Airlines? That’s a story that is still writing itself, but you can read an update on page 5 in The Barber Pole.
We look forward to seeing you on the road again soon! Until then . . .
