 Newsletter #15        December 1, 2006

Dear Valued Client Friends:

New Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative:

The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security and U.S. Dept. of State announce that citizens of the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda will need to present a passport to enter the U.S. when arriving by air from any part of the Western Hemisphere beginning January 23, 2007.  This includes American citizens returning home via air transportation from anywhere outside the country.

Under the revised provision by the U.S. Congress, the deadline for U.S. citizens, Canadians, citizens of the British Over seas Territory of Bermuda and citizens of Mexico to have a passport to enter or re-enter the U.S. via land and sea could be pushed back to a June l, 2009 deadline.

Peru Tour—April 16-29, 2007                               Galapagos Islands—April 29-May 5, 2007 

 Due to popular demand, we have scheduled another Peruvian tour and have improved the itinerary from the last tour by adding the Sacred Valley and the Incan Maras salt mines and the Incan Moray agricultural center (with the same intriguing concentric ring terraces as the Nasca Lines but accessible by foot).  We spend time in Cusco, The Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and fly in and out of Lima.     Please ask for the detailed itinerary.  $3085 per person per double room.

Highlights will be the Darwin Research Station, Santa Cruz, Rabida, Sombrero Chino, Bartolome and Baltra Islands.   Some clients on the spring Peru trip be will be joining this tour as an extension.  Anyone is welcome, whether or not you go to Peru with us.    The 7-day tour begins and ends in Guayaquil, Ecuador.  We will be coordinating the roundtrip to and from Lima for those of you on the Peru tour.  I need to reserve immediately on The Darwin the number of cabins we want.  Please ask for the detailed itinerary if you are interested.  $2070 per person per double room.

May you have a blessed Christmas and New Year.      Sue

Dear Valuable Friends and Clients:  

New Address (please see below):  We have moved to our new larger location.  We are so happy that now four of us can work at the same time in this office.    The phones are the same.

Another Machu Picchu and Peru Tour-- April 16-29, 2007

Due to popular demand, we have scheduled another Peruvian tour and have improved the itinerary even from two years ago by adding another day and the Incan Maras salt mines and the Incan Moray agricultural center (with the same intriguing concentric ring terraces as the Nasca Lines but accessible by foot).

Newsletter #13       March 15, 2006

Dear Valuable Clients:  

I appreciate each and every one of you so much.  Thanks to you, the business increased 30% last year so we are truly recovering from 9/11 well.  We need another employee and are moving to a bigger location about 3 times our present space.  We have used up the last 10,000 brochures quickly and will be mailing out our brand new brochure next month.

At this printing I am ready to leave for Costa Rica; the tour filled up very quickly.

Another Peru Tour:

Due to popular demand, we have scheduled another Peru tour for April 16-29, 2007.  We already have people enrolled in it.  The prices will be available by June this year.

New Destination:

We are scheduling a tour to Spain for September 2008.  Several of you have asked for it and since I love to travel with you again and again, I look forward to it.

Travel Tips:

New Passport Requirements according to the National Passport Information Center

By December 31, 2008, a passport will be required for any air, sea or land crossing of any
US border.  The policy is being implemented in stages—

By December 31, 2006, they will be needed for travel to and from Bermuda, the Caribbean,
Central and South America and for plane travel to and from Canada and Mexico.

By December 31, 2007, for travel by car or bus or walking to and from Canada and Mexico. 

Passports may also become necessary for travel to and from Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and the US Virgin Islands.

President Bush is considering the issue of a Pass Book for frequent travelers across our
borders with Canada and Mexico.  It would be less expensive than a passport.
