Jthere is nothing more important than

creating memories at destinations

you’ve always dreamed of!

Alaska By railThe stunning scenic views through the panoramic windows, is the best way to have an Alaskan wilderness adventure! Visit Seward, situated on the Kenai Peninsula, one of Alaska’s oldest and most beautiful communities. Take the Kenai Fjords National Park cruise tour on Resurrection Bay to get an up-close view of whales, eagles and tidewater glaciers. Travel almost 60 miles into the wilderness of Denali National Park on a tundra wildlife tour for a photo opportunity of Mount McKinley, the highest point in North America. See moose, sheep, caribou, wolves, and, if you’re lucky, bears too!

Austin, texas: Live Music capital of the World The secret is out. Everyone who visits Austin these days can’t stop talking about its legendary live music festivals, burgeoning restaurant scene and unique culture. This is the place to “argue about barbecue,” shop the downtown pedestrian districts, enjoy the parks and lakes, and absorb the unending stream of live music that echoes around town. Long known as the playground of Texas and the gateway to the scenic Hill Country, Austin’s a 24-hour city where celebrities enjoy hanging out with the locals. It’s the No. 1 spot to put on your cowboy boots and kick up your heels!

Branson & silver Dollar city Visit Silver Dollar City theme park where you will step back in time to an 1880’s craft village filled with the best craft shops, thrill rides, live entertainment and festivals all set against the backdrop of the incredible Ozark Mountains. Plus, we’ll hit the most fun place to dine in Branson – The Dixie Stampede Dinner & Show. Highlighted by 32 magnificent horses, a talented cast of trick riders, hilarious racing pigs, a stampede of Longhorn steer, and a fabulous four-course feast, the Dixie Stampede is an unforgettable experience!

Dude ranch: tucson, Arizona

Saddle up, partners! Relive the Wild West at an authentic ranch in Tucson’s rugged, rolling borderland. Hitch up your boots and hang onto your 10-gallon hat for daily horseback riding and even a chance to chase some cows in a team-penning contest! Whether we’re having a bar-b-cue, kicking up our heels at the local hoedown, swimming, fishing, or touring the museum featuring the best creepy-crawlies of the desert — it’s sure to be a good time. At night we just get started at the local watering hole, The Dog House, to shoot pool and swap tales with other outlaws. Three pieces of advice: Don’t cozy up to the cactus, be nice to the pretty ladies, and take off your spurs at night! NOTE: Not adaptive riding.

Hawaii: the Big island and Dolphin Quest

Hawaii is the place to make a lifelong connection with one of the grandest creatures of the sea. At Dolphin Quest, amazing face-to-face encounters allow travelers to get in the water and touch these gentle, magnificent beauties. And there’s so much more to experience on the Big Island bus tour featuring the resounding Rainbow Falls, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the entertainment, shopping, culture and cuisine along the Kona Coast. You’ll stay in private condos right on the beach with stunning views of the ocean for dolphin, turtles, and whales watching. Swimming, snorkeling, waterside feasts and hula dancing await travelers. Aloha!

iceland: Land of Fire & ice

Iceland is home to the largest glaciers in Europe, as well as some of the world’s most active volcanoes, and is widely known as “The Land of Fire and Ice.” Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital, is a curious mix of high fashion and small hole in the wall stores featuring homemade souvenirs, clothes and jewelry. Take a train to the world famous, Blue Lagoon where we’ll go for a relaxing swim in the geothermal warm water filled with natural minerals. At the Golden Circle we can walk around the Geysir geothermal area, a geothermal field where hot springs are in abundance, geysers explode and pools of mud bubble. On our offshore whale-watching excursion we can catch sight of whales, dolphins, and seabirds in their natural habitat. We’ll also stop by the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall and visit UNESCO World Heritage site, Thinghvellir national park, considered one of the geological wonders of the world!

Both parks provide a unique experience that’s fun for everyone!

Las Vegas

When not winning at the slots or lounging by the pool, travelers might enjoy catching wild attractions for animal lovers, gazing at the world-famous dancing fountains of Bellagio, catching the pirate show at Treasure Island, or enjoying the panoramic view atop the 50-story Eiffel Tower replica at Paris Las Vegas. Each trip we will take in two shows featuring music, comedy and/or magic. Plus, travelers can visit Las Vegas Boulevard South, one of the world’s greatest shopping streets where you’re guaranteed to cross paths with Elvis and Michael Jackson!

Mexican riviera cruise

The magic begins the moment you step aboard your cruise ship. The Mexican Riviera Cruise takes you on a voyage along the gorgeous Mexican Riviera coastline. Your first Mexican port of call, Puerto Vallarta, is a charming cobblestone-lined city with a worldwide reputation for fun and shopping. Top that off with gorgeous beaches and you can easily see why this town is one of Mexico’s top tourist spots. Arriving in Cabo San Lucas you’ll see dramatic rock formations and cacti adorning the landscape. At the tip of the peninsula sits one of nature’s true wonders, the massive rock formation called El Arco at Land’s End. Plus, there is plenty of time to enjoy the entertainment & fine dining that can only be found onboard the ship!

nashville: the Grand Ole Opry

A9 Jnew York: the Big Apple

New York, New York: There’s no other place like it on earth. People from all over come to take a bite of the Big Apple –- to climb the Empire State Building and ride the Staten Island Ferry for a harbor sightseeing cruise, gape at the teeming neon lights in Times Square, tour NBC Studios and marvel at the beauty of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, stroll through Central Park and across the Brooklyn Bridge, and salute the Statue of Liberty and pay tribute to history at Ellis Island. From the famous Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum to paying a visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, that’s just a taste of what’s in

store for you in New York City - where a different experience awaits around every corner. Under the world’s greatest skyline, New York brims with unmatched diversity, culture and style. So come see what kind of New Yorker you are. Come take a bite!

Oregon camp

Get back to nature in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, an area renowned for its beautiful mountain scenery, and pristine rivers. Your cabin on the peaceful Molalla River is the base camp for unlimited outdoor recreation. Splash in the

sandy beach swimming hole, play a game of HORSE in the covered basketball court, enjoy frisbee golf in the sports field or try your luck on the ropes challenge course. Hike the lush trails, cast your line for an afternoon of fishing or make a souvenir at the arts and crafts table. And no camping adventure is complete without story telling, singing songs, dancing and eating s’mores around the campfire at night!

pendleton round-Up

Billed as the USA’s best rodeo, the 100+-year-old Pendleton Round-Up includes parades, cowboy breakfasts, concerts, dancing and the spectacular Native American ceremony. And, oh yes, people also come in droves for the featured attraction, the legendary old-fashioned rodeo with its high-flying, bone-crunching events like bull riding, steer wrestling and bronco busting. As the old cowboy proverb says, “There never was a horse that couldn’t be rode; never was a cowboy who couldn’t be throwed.” After visiting the museum at Tamastslikt Cultural Institute you will understand why Pendleton is known as The Real West.

Go on safari through the wide-open spaces of the San Diego Safari Park, where various herds from Africa and Asia hang out like they do back home!

south Dakota: Black Hills & Mt. rushmore

South Dakota is the land of great faces and great places. Located in the Black Hills, the Mt. Rushmore National Memorial is a large-scale sculpture of America’s most prominent Presidents carved into the granite hillside. Bison, pronghorn, coyotes, eagles and hawks are just some of the wildlife that can often be seen at the Badlands National Park, a must-see stop filled with painted canyons and photo opportunities. The Crazy Horse Memorial is the world’s largest sculpture-in-progress, and frequent drilling and mountain blasts make each visit unique. When completed, it will stand 563 feet tall by 641 feet long! Plus, you can shop for Black Hills gold jewelry, handcrafted Sioux beadwork, leather and pottery, and original Western art with its origin on the Dakota prairie. You’ll make memories of a lifetime during your vacation here!

Wisconsin Dells: Mt. Olympus theme & Water park

You’ll be treated to the best indoor and outdoor activities, a cornucopia of fun, games and rides for everyone: bumper cars, water slides, a spectacular arcade and much more. Plunge into a mythic underworld on Hades, the first all wooden roller coaster featuring the world’s longest underground tunnel. Go-kart tracks will tempt with twists and turns through underwater tunnels and even into the belly of the Trojan horse. The water slides come in all shapes, sizes and speeds. Take a scenic cruise along the Wisconsin River for a perfect view of sandstone cliffs that seem to stretch up to the clouds. This region is famous for its many rock formations accompanied by equally engaging stories, from Native American legends to the Lost City of Newport, whose ancient site lies along the western banks.

Yellowstone national park

Yellowstone is as wondrous as ever with magnificent landscapes, wildlife, and natural phenomena with thousands of hot springs and hundreds of geysers including the famous Old Faithful. Located in northwest Wyoming and sitting atop an active super-volcano, the park is an authentic wilderness experience: Grizzlies, wolves, bison and elk roam among 2.2 million pristine acres that include vast forests, grasslands and breathtaking canyons, waterfalls and lava formations. Meanwhile, you can view the dramatic Teton Range aboard a horse drawn wagon ride, shop in mountain stores for Western souvenirs, and attend the Bar-T-5 covered chuck wagon cookout complete with live country music!
