Message from the Director
I'm pleased to announce two special trips that we have just added - Santa Fe Opera & Art and Las Vegas Art & Culture. A highlight of our Santa Fe visit is a performance of Don Giovanni at the renowned Santa Fe outdoor opera. Other highlights include visits to see fascinatin art collections and dinner at the elegant Compound Restaurant. We'll visit Las Vegas to view the 30 Monet masterpieces that are together for the first time in 30 years.

Our fascinating collection of tours for 2005 is complete. We are introducing some amazing new destinations such as Vietnam, Iceland, Poland, and the Yucatan Peninsula.

We hope you'll join us on a UW alumni tour soon!

Cheers,
Pauline Ranieri, Director, UW Alumni Tours

Santa Fe Opera & Art - August 25 - 29, 2004
You're probably already familiar with Santa Fe's reputation as an art mecca of the Southwest, and our tour features a wonderful combination of highlights including opera, artist visits and flamenco. Join us for this exclusive UW tour!

Las Vegas Art & Culture - September 12 - 15, 2004
If you think "cultural Las Vegas" is an oxymoron, it's time for you to see how the former sin city has grown up! It still boasts ringing, jingling casinos and spectacular shows such as Cirque du Soleil's "O," but on this tour we'll explore the finer side of Las Vegas, including two impressive collections of art masterworks, an excursion to learn about the art of lithography, and much more.

Oregon Shakespeare Festival - August 19 - 22, 2004
Space is still available on our trip to Ashland. Join us while we see King Lear and the Comedy of Errors at the lovely outdoor Elizabethan theater. We stay at the historic Ashland Springs Hotel, enjoy two private lectures, a visit to Jacksonville, a welcome reception and farewell dinner.
