This is always an exciting time of year as I make final decisions on the next year’s trip schedule. My crystal ball is once again on the blink, so I’m relying on what I’ve heard from our travelers; what I’ve read in the news; and intuition developed over 30 years in the travel business. Check out our website for our 2011 schedule…I hope you’ll find a few that will tempt you to pull out your suitcase and start packing!
Why not spend time this summer visiting our own backyard…well, OK – Alaska isn’t exactly in our backyard but it’s darn close for those of us living in Seattle and you don’t have to get jetlag to get there.
Join other UW alumni and friends and enjoy luxury cruising on Regent”s Seven Seas Navigator. All cabins are suites and the majority of them include verandhas so you can watch the glaciers and hear them crack and pop right from your stateroom. Check our website for the full tour brochure.
Book by December 31, 2009 to take advantage of the special savings of $1,000 per stateroom, cruise fares!
Still thinking about traveling to Egypt next year? We have just added our 3rd departure - February 17 – March 5, 2010 and are now taking reservations. We hope you’ll consider joining us.
UW Travelers, Egypt 2009
Our November 2009 trip to India is now fully booked with a short waitlist! With my love of this fascinating country, I’m thrilled that more UW travelers are choosing to explore the destination.
Didn’t get a chance to sign up? Be the first to sign up for our newly added 2010 departure: February 21 – March 10. The tour will follow the same itinerary as our 2009 trip – all that’s left to be confirmed is the price. Pricing details will be posted on our website as soon as they are available.
Our complete 2010 tour schedule is up on the web and ready to entice you with a wide variety of destinations. A favorite part of my position here is finding a selection of tours to appeal to different interests.
Sicily
Interested in Roman ruins and volcanoes? Come with us to Sicily. Love natural wonders and the outdoors? Join us in Costa Rica. Are exciting ports, fine dining and luxury accommodations to your taste? Come along on a Crystal or Oceania cruise. Enjoy river cruising? Hop on board as we follow the Seine, Dnieper and Elbe Rivers. Always wanted to “go on safari?” Search for the “Big Five” in Kenya & Tanzania or South Africa. See what I said about variety!
And don’t forget the BEST part of our tours…your traveling companions. Here’s what our travelers say about their trip mates: “…the make-up of the group was great…we traveled with a special group…our fellow travelers were wonderful..” OK – I think you get the picture.
Now that our phones are ringing again (thank you!) we’re also exploring a few other additions to the schedule. If Cuba opens up, we’ll be there in April. Both China and North India will probably be added so please continue to check our web site for the latest details.
