bringing an outstanding group of artists along

worshiping, having a blast and hanging out in
one of the most gorgeous places on earth—but
we couldn’t. The only thing that could make
this experience better will be having you there.

HALF MOON CAY, BAHAMASMONDAY, JANUARY 16, 8:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M.Featuring two miles of white sand and breathtaking coral reefs, Half Moon Cay is a private island in the Bahamas chain and an ideal getaway for beach-lovers, snorkelers and nature enthusiasts. This 2,400-acre island is nestled amid the pristine beaches and blue waters of the Bahamas. Bypass the beach and explore the island interior—98 percent of which remains undeveloped and wild—to find nature trails, bird-watching hideaways and a restful wild bird sanctuary.
DAY AT SEATUESDAY, JANUARY 17
GEORGETOWN, GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDSWEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 8:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M.Discovered by Christopher Columbus and once home to swashbuckling pirates, the Cayman Islands have become one of the most elegant stops on Caribbean cruises. The stunning Seven Mile Beach near the port in Georgetown is often cited as one of the most beautiful in the world and nearby is the world-famous Stingray City, where visitors can interact with a fleet of these creatures while wading on a shallow sandbar. Other treasures abound on Grand Cayman, too, from sunning on spacious beaches to browsing the colorful Georgetown shops.
COZUMEL, QUINTANA ROO, MEXICOTHURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 11:00 A.M. – 11:00 P.M.One of the world’s best-known diving and snorkeling playgrounds, this island 12 miles east of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is known for the limestone outcrops that make its coral reefs a sanctuary for exotic fish. Get away from it all on the soft beaches lining Cozumel’s western shore or explore the wilder, more secluded beaches on the eastern side. Between them lies lush, uninterrupted rainforest and a variety of tropical birds. For history buffs, don’t miss the ancient Mayan ruins at Tulum, just a quick ferry ride away.

KEY WEST, FLORIDASATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.For centuries, vacationers have been drawn to the warm temperatures, quiet waters and white sands of Key West, home to some of the most spectacular sunsets. No wonder writers like Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams found refuge amid its laid-back ocean breezes. Just a few hours surrounded by the colorful characters and quaint, palm-lined streets of Key West and you’ll find yourself enjoying a fresh new perspective.
