In a couple of weeks some of the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team are headed to Washington, D.C., for the Wherever Awards at the Kimpton Monaco Washington DC. This is the second time we will be hosting an event in the Paris Ballroom at the hotel. Our last event was a combination of the Wherever Awards, Trazee Awards and Leisure Lifestyle Awards back in the summer of 2021.
Our 2021 event was beautiful, but I am looking forward to this one since we are solely focusing on the best of the best in the multigenerational travel industry. Since the event is being held in the Paris Ballroom, the theme is Wherever in Paris. The glamorous night will feature live music, great food and a celebration of the best in family destinations, cruise lines, resorts and more.
With the Paris theme, there will be subtle notes of French-themed decorations. For example, there will be a lady walking around in a Champagne dress where guests are welcome to grab a refreshing glass of Champagne. Don’t worry, if Champagne isn’t your thing, there will be a bar with wine, beer and other drink options. There will also be a French band, Les Zazous, playing beautiful music throughout the night. Guests will enjoy French-related foods such as charcuterie and sample a cheese table, French hors d’oeuvres, pasta and pastries.
All are welcome to attend the event and help celebrate the winners. The Wherever Awards will be held on April 13 at 7 p.m. at the Kimpton Monaco Washington DC. Please RSVP ahead of time. Travel lovers interested in attending the event can RSVP here. We hope to see you there!

May 6, 2024What Maui Visitors Need to Know
There’s a lot happening on the beautiful island of Maui and recovery from the devastating fires in Lahaina is underway. Among happy events is a gorgeous cultural redesign of all the suites and villas at Fairmont Kea Lani, plus the opening of the resort’s Hale Kukuna — a 2,000-square-foot cultural center that focuses on sharing Hawai’ian culture, traditions and history, with the goal of a reciprocal sharing of ‘ike (knowledge) and mo’olelo (stories) that link the island’s storied past and vibrant present.

May 6, 2024Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History
All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
