Friday and its time for a break

It's Friday and I haven't written in my blog all week. That's because we have been very busy at work, which is a good thing. People are starting to book vacations again. Many tours right now, to Europe, and the US West and Alaska. Tours are a great way to get alot of bang for your buck. Seeing so much of many places in a reasonable amount of time, usually 2 weeks. Being able to taste the local foods, meet the local people and see the famous sights up close with plenty of time to visit is very rewarding. The slow pace of some tours allows you to get enough rest and relaxation, withought the hurry up of doing one port every day that cruises require. And you can take the whole family to any part of the world for a wonderful experience. An Africa safari with the whole family creates a lifetime of memories. Adventures by Disney has great tours to many parts of the world. Both Tauck and Travcoa have various types of tours available for spring and summer. I would like to do a pub crawl and garden route tour in Ireland in the Spring. Or maybe a river cruise for the Tulips in Holland. River cruises are a type of tour that you don't have to unpack every day. The boat is your hotel and you still get to see the small towns and mingle with the local people. Consider your mental health and make time for a tour of this country or others. It will add to your Return on Life.

Hi Grace. I've been thinking about taking a river cruise through Holland as well and came across a great Tulip Time cruise with Avalon. Also, if you book your river cruise by March 3, 2009, they are offering up to $400 off or more on 2009 Europe river cruises. Here's the itinerary if you'd like to check it out: http://www.avalonwaterways.com/product.aspx?content=itin&trip=9WAA
