First and foremost happy holidays from all of us at Austin-Lehman Adventures. 2011 has been an extraordinary year for ALA, we had our busiest and best season to record. Giving the gift of adventure is something we strive to do 365 days a year. But what better time for you to give the gift of adventure than during the holidays. The holidays are always a busy and exciting time. Sometimes we lose sight of what is most important. Here is good question to ask yourself, what is important to you? 

For ALA it is providing the most knowledgeable and dedicated staff to help serve your every travel need. With 2012 upon us we are raising the bar higher than ever to bring you the best of adventure travel. From adding 13 new destinations like our new Cuba adventure to adding a handful of family departures on our most popular trips. To redesigning our website to make finding the perfect adventure vacation even easier and better than ever before.

With that said, studies have shown that “Experiences make us happier than possessions” Ryan Howell, assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University preformed an interesting study showing the benefits of experiences over material objects. "While most people were generally happy with the purchase regardless of what it was, those who wrote about experiences tended to show a higher satisfaction at the time and after the experience had passed."

Here at ALA we couldn't agree more! Giving the gift of adventure can be a life changing experience; "Memorable experiences are exactly what Austin-Lehman Adventures is all about." says ALA Director Dan Austin. "Our own experiences tell us that travel and the fond memories you bank in your mind is one investment that always appreciates over time."
