News from the President's Desk

March is a month of transition. We change our clocks, Winter ends, Spring begins, and cruise ships begin to move to new ports to begin a new season.

While we are based in Fort Lauderdale, for over 18 years, Special Needs Group, Inc. has been ready for and worked through the logistics of providing our services wherever you, your family members, and friends' travel dreams may take them. So, this is a quick reminder that we can help you or a member of your traveling party enjoyably travel to every corner of the globe no matter what their abilities are.

In addition to our typical Caribbean service locations, here is a PARTIAL LIST of some of our more popular Summer service locations:

Pacific Northwest: Seattle, Vancouver, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Whittier, Seward

Europe: Barcelona, Southampton, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Civitavecchia, Rome, Venice, Piraeus, Athens, Porto, Lisbon

Australia: Sydney and Brisbane

Northeast US and Canada: Baltimore, New York, Boston, Montreal, Quebec City

Again, these are just a PARTIAL LISTING of some more popular destinations. If you don’t see a destination listed, please reach out to us. I’m sure we can help!

For those of you who observe, I wish you both a fun and enjoyable Pie Day and St. Patricks Day!

Talk to you next month. Until then, keep smilin’!

Andrew Garnett, CATA
President/CEO
