Israel - March, 2014
When was the last time you touched the tomb where Christ was laid
or sat on the ground where the Apostles heard the blessings of the beatitudes?
Aside from an amazing pilgrimage, we had great trip with a lot of fun! Did you
ever float in the Dead Sea or take a cable car to the top of the ancient city of
Masada? Wow!!! It was breathtaking.
The Romantic Danube - April, 2015
We can't control the weather, but boy did we luck out with these two weeks!
Beginning with two nights in Prague and then an unforgettable 8-night cruise
down the Danube River from Nuremberg to Budapest on Viking's longship,
Freya, from there we flew to Amsterdam for two nights which included a day at
the world famous Keukenhof Gardens where the bulbs were in full bloom -
something that only occurs six weeks each year! We were there!!!!

Rock Canyon and some of us even rode the zipline down Freemont Street!!
Alaska - May, 2016
This truly is "The Last Frontier" - a land of beautiful scenery and beautiful

ship for eight nights as we sailed up the inside passage stopping at Ketchikan,
Sitka, Icy Point Strait, Juneau, Skagway and disembarking in Seward after
viewing the huge Hubbard Glacier from a thrilling half mile distance on a

Anchorage where we had a private float trip, Salmon Bake and tram ride up
to Alyeska. Please visit our Shutterfly Photo Page.
St. Paul's Boys Choir - November, 2016
This was our first day trip and proved to be a very successful experience. The
weather couldn't have been better, the camaraderie fantastic, lunch amazing,
church beautiful and the voices of the boys - solo or in unison - were unbelievable.
They received a well-deserved standing ovation.
In Search of the Northern Lights - March, 2017
How lucky were we? The elusive Aurora Borealis showed up not once but twice on
this amazing 16 day trip that took us to the Scandinavian Capitals of Oslo,
Copenhagen and Stockholm. We had a great adventure on our six-night cruise
along the coast of Norway; took an over-night ferry; the Bergen Express Train and
even slept in a Snow Hotel in Kirkenes, Norway. It was quite an experience!!
New York Botanical Garden, Chihuly and Arthur Avenue - Sept, 2017
What a wonderful day! The weather couldn't have been better; the staff
at the Botanical Garden was outstanding; the exhibit was breathtaking;
and what's not to like about Arthur Avenue?
Cuba with Viking Ocean Cruises -
December, 2017
Can't say enough great things about Viking Ocean Cruises! The eight of us had an amazing voyage on their new ship the Sun and a fabulous
cultural experience visiting Cuba - Cienfuegos, Trinidad and Havana. We rode in the classic cars and attended a show at the Tropicana Nightclub in addition to seeing a great deal of the countryside. Fantastic!!!
Sailing Down the Mississippi River with the
American Queen Steamboat - October, 2018
This trip was all about the boat and the company. After spending two days in
Memphis, TN we cast off and cruised down the river for seven nights on this
magnificent vessel stopping at various ports and plantations along the way
ending up in New Orleans, LA for two nights. Some of our experiences included:
The Peabody Ducks, Beale Street, Graceland, the National Civil Rights Museum, a classic Memphis Barbecue, Natchez, St. Francisville, Baton Rouge, Greenville, Nottoway Plantation, Cafe Du Monde, Morning Star Cafe, NOLA Cemeteries, Preservation Hall, and much, much more. And then there was the boat - best entertainment on a cruise ship ever - great food, great service - wonderful experience.
Dubai and Egypt, October, 2019
None of us on this fabulous adventure ever dreamed of actually being able to go to Dubai and Egypt! We got to have dinner with an Emerati, ride camels, cruise the
Nile and return with memories of a lifetime.
Oberammergau and Oktoberfest, September, 2022
Originally scheduled for 2020, this fabulous itinerary had to be postponed as a result
of the COVID 19 pandemic, but it was so worth the wait! We started in the medieval
walled city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, traveled through Czechia, Austria and
Germany ending with the Passion Play and Oktoberfest in Munich. We toured wineries,
breweries, a hops farm, a salt mine, took a boat ride on a glacial lake, and so much more.
It was another great trip!
