| Have you seen the new movie, "The Quiet American"? The
film captures the lushness, mysteriousness, and romance of this exotic country. If
you haven't been to Vietnam, perhaps now is the time to go. Foreign tourists are
welcome; the people are beautiful and friendly; the scenery is exquisite; the hotel
choices range from authentic and comfortable to luxurious; the food is delicious;
the culture is intriguing; and . . . it's not like home. Bob and I have been to Vietnam and we can arrange your trip -- to suit your calendar and your pocketbook, independently or with a group, and with extensions to Cambodia or other Southeast Asian countries. |

| Speaking of Graham Greene novels made into movies, how about "Our
Man in Havana?" Are you intrigued by this previously off-limits country only
90 miles off the tip of Florida that seems frozen in the 1950's? We're gathering
a group of interesting people to travel with us to this fascinating country. Would
you like to join us? |

| Our private tours through the Copper Canyon of northern Mexico
fill quickly. If you'd like to be on the next list for this awe-inspiring journey,
let me know. Click here to see photos of our 2003 trip. |
||
| Another tour that fills quickly with a long wait list. The National
Park Service limits the number of people on this river and therefore all tours book
up far in advance. If you'd like to take this trip, you must reserve space almost
a year in advance. I can arrange this for you. Click here to see photos of our 2003
trip. |

| I recently happened upon an exhibit of the most beautiful needlework
I've ever seen -- on clothing from the Guizhou Province of China (due north of Vietnam).
This area of China has only recently become easily accessible to foreigners and still
isn't on the typical itinerary. The clothing and silver work of the local tribes
of this mountainous region is just now being displayed in the U.S. The clothing is
decorated with appliqué and silk embroidery of dazzling bright colors in incredible
detail. The accompanying, delicate silver headpieces and necklaces are intricate
and complex. This trip is a must for anyone interested in textiles and handicrafts
and Chinese art. A tour to Guizhou is in the planning stages. Stay tuned. |

| A real off-the-beaten path destination -- always intriguing. Mayan
ruins, a jungle cruise, and stops at villages with unique crafts. |
||
| . . . a return trip to Ecuador, staying in old and luxurious haciendas | ||
| . . . Peru and Machu Picchu | ||
| . . . a literary tour to Ireland | ||
| . . . a return to the Mexican colonial city of Morelia | ||
