Patty would like to hear about your
ideas!
Let us tempt you with our
2008 tour plans
We are
looking forward to 2008 with excitement
and are having great fun planning the

each tour as escort and mother hen it is
difficult
to pick and choose and make everything
fit the calendar. But hang in, almost
there with everything fitting in on the
calendar.
Some dates
below may shift a wee bit, so we suggest
you let us know of your interest and we,
in turn will keep you posted and our
brochure will be out soon. In the meantime, we have itinerary sheets for
each tour. Prices are not included
in the itineraries by will be available

Here's a brief summary:
PARIS: May 12 - May 20 We must return to one of our favorite
cities! Perfect for the independent traveler or
someone who wants some help and guidance. Patty has
plans for each day, but you are free to do your own
thing. Everyone has museum and metro passes so easy
to do as much as you can handle. Hotel is centrally
located and you will see more and do more than you
ever imagined. She has some after tour plans for
those interested can we tempt you with a day trip to
Chartres or perhaps continue on to Brugge, Delft,
Amsterdam? Or? Let us know!
IRELAND: June 26 -
July 10
This years trip was a rousing success and with many
asking about next year, how could we not visit
visiting this charming country! We'll explore via a
loop trip around the Island from top to bottom and
have included another day in the north so we aren't
so rushed in this area that has become easier to
travel in these days. AND we have a very special
event planned for July 4.you will love it!
Historical, cultural and fun sites, good music,
great food, comfortable hotels and because we have
special Irish friends, a really thorough visit
of this hospitable land. I can hear the Celtic music
and taste the great food already!
SWITZERLAND:
August 5 - 22 Again, we must return to this magic
land with its glorious mountains, great walking and
stunning views. 16 days with options before and
after. Highlight is a music festival in Appenzell
(town Is utterly charming and countryside is full of
walks and hikes). We start in Zurich, then using a
Swiss Rail pass to the place where god lives, Wengen
in the Bernese Oberland. If you are a photographer
or like to sketch, walker or hiker or just like to
soak up the glorious scenery, this is the place for
you. Not a strenuous trip but there are
opportunities for the more energetic ones to steam
up a mountain trail. Perfect for families too
take the grandparents along. We took our whole
family and they are still talking about it. Can't
wait!!
ITALY: September 13 - October 6 A favorite and always fills early. Consider
this one early enough so you aren't left behind. All
the best places, from the Dolomites in the north,
Venice, Assisi, south to Sorrento, Almalfi Coast,
Capri, then head north Rome, Orvieto, Siena, San
Gimigiano, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Cinqueterre, Milan
and Como. A comprehensive tour with central hotels,
great guides, superb driver, planned and free
time...lots of extras and serendipitous happenings.
SICILY: October 15 - November 1 We've had such great visits in Sicily
and had so many inquiries, we return! We explore
Naples, visit Herculaneum/Vesuvius and then south
down the coast stopping at Paestum (a favorite),
continuing down the coast, crossing over to Sicily
for a leisurely island loop full of investigative
happenings. We are working with our excellent
friends in Sicily to give you a well rounded tour
and always add personalized stops and visits that
most other tours don't include. Opportunity to stop
over in Rome.
CHRISTMAS in BAVARIA: November
29 - December 8 Visit the "Christkindl" Markets in
Bavaria. A wonderful way to get into the Christmas
spirit by experiencing a unique holiday tradition in
this part of the world. Christkindl markets are real
people displaying their Christmas traditions and
handmade gifts....and accompanied with great food.
It’s the spirit that is catching - we hope you will
catch it too!
