Wanderlust: Portugal

By design, our summer travels this year have been fairly close to home. But, I've always been prone to wanderlust, and I'm frequently dreaming of excursions even beyond the next one I'm currently planning. I'm known to have trip itineraries planned three and four out. Lately, I've been really wanting to explore Madeira.

Here's where I'd stay...

Reid's Palace in Madeira, a truly luxurious Orient-Express Hotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Here is what I'd do...

I'd walk the path of 25 Fountains...

I'd swim in the lava pools...

 I'd visit the Monte Palace Tropical Gardens...

I'd wander through the Red Autumn Woods...

Here is what I'd drink...
