New year, new destinations

Where did the time go? It can’t possibly be a new year already. There is still so much that needs to be done in 2014. I guess we will have to make up for it in 2015. Blessings to everyone and best wishes for an adventurous new year.
We have several things on the books for the new year. First and foremost is the Panama cruise in April. We have developed a very nice group for this trip out of Tampa on April 19 for a 19-day trip back to Vancouver. What a wonderful way to enter into spring. Space is limited, but it is still there and we have some great rates.
Costa Rica is coming up in February. If you want to get out of winter, then this would be the perfect vacation for you. Feb. 9 for a nine-day getaway to a beautiful, warm country. See the jungles, the volcano, the birds, etc., and remember that there is sun and warmth to be found.
Also in February, a small group of us will board Oasis out of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. to St. Thomas and St. Maarten. It isn’t the destinations we are after, but the amazing ship. It has everything and then some. There are Broadway shows, an Aqua Theater, ice skating, “Central Park” and the Boardwalk. We sail on Feb. 7 for seven days if you are interested in joining us.
And what I have wanted to do all my life: Israel in October. The Bible come alive as you walk the streets in towns you have heard about forever. This is a 10-day tour departing Oct. 21. Come along to Tel Aviv, Haifa, Tiberias, Cana, Nazareth Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee. Oh, so much more and all of it so meaningful. Just ask for a brochure and then join us to learn all this history.
Somewhere down the line, we will once again find sun and summer in our own back yard. Perhaps we will sleep in a treehouse, walk the beaches of the ocean, drive high into the hills to see the view and just explore. It is so good to get out and do things, so plan on joining us. Send along any ideas on what you might like to find on the calendar.
