Message from the Director
 I'm very excited to report that our tour reservations have been very strong in the early months of 2009. It’s always fun for us to see which destinations are wildly popular—there's always a surprise or two that pops up.
And speaking of surprises, I'm amazed at the recent success we've had selling Egypt. Just a few short years ago we struggled to sell this destination and now, with five sold-out departures, we’re having trouble obtaining enough space! It’s a wonderful turn of events for a country that counts on the support of tourism income. If Egypt is still on your "bucket list" you'll be glad to know that we are offering it again in early 2010 and we’re currently trying to secure another late 2009 date.
So where do you want to go in 2009? Italy, Japan, Iceland…? We have tours to these countries and many more. I hope to welcome you aboard an upcoming alumni tour.
Best,
Pauline Ranieri
Director, UW Alumni Tours

Join us as we encounter wonders both natural and man-made: lively Amman and rose-red Petra; the ruins of Jerash and the lunar-like landscape of Wadi Run; the resort life of the Red Sea and the restorative powers of the Dead Sea. This is the first full itinerary to Jordan that we've offered and we're quite excited to include it in our 2009 program! More... |

Welcome Back Great Journey Through Europe Travelers!
June 23-July 3, 2008From the floor of the earth, where Amsterdam holds the sea at bay, to the song of the Lorelei, to the top of the world in the Swiss Alps and the Matterhorn, through diverse cultures, separated only by invisible boundaries, this truly has been a "Great Journey" to remember. Thank you!
