Truly, The World Awaits.

Our full-time professional travel team is in the process of taking steps to prepare for the future and to assure the continuance of our ability to provide unmatched personal services as you and yours explore and experience the waiting world that is filled with adventures and new experiences.

One of the steps is a brand new and refreshed website currently in the process of being developed. The snippet above has been taken from the preliminary work product of that site.

Watch for details - we'll unveil soon.

A word of caution. During the transition process to the new web site some of the links to the brochures in the right-hand column of this page - and elsewhere throughout - may not work. If this happens contact us and we'll be able to provide the necessary solution. We think this possible inconvenience is a small price to pay for the improvements we anticipate.

Detailed brochures for our special series of 2027 FEATURE TRAVEL personally escorted and value added group tours open when you click on their photo and title links appearing in the right hand column of this page.

You should reserve now - each departure has a RESERVATION DEPOSIT REFUND GUARANTEE.

BETTER THAN EVER BENEFITS - JUST FOR OUR TRAVELERS

To accommodate and serve our travelers we have been able negotiate special rates and additional considerations with the Double Tree Wichita Airport Hotel - the hotel nearest the airport - for a number of years.

Negotiations with Double Tree for the upcoming fiscal year have just been finalized. Because of the number of our travelers taking advantage of this service our new contract is even better than last year.

• Price per room night has been reduced to $119 (from $122) per night plus tax.

YOU CAN SAVE $300 PER PERSON

Don't miss this chance to join the group of intrepid travelers that have already reserved - and save $300 per person while doing it! That's right - save $300 per person by reserving before July 1 - or when all our spaces are reserved - whichever occurs first.

When you "go away" on this adventure you will be exposed to some of the best of what South America has to offer. One natural wonder that will create travel memories shared and never forgotten will be the thunderous sounds of Iguazu Falls shown here.

Iguazu Falls is the largest waterfall system in the world, consisting of 275 distinct drops spanning nearly 2 miles along the Argentina-Brazil border. Designated one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, the thunderous cascades are surrounded by lush subtropical rainforest.

TAKE A BITE OUT OF THE "BIG APPLE" BY JUNE 1 - SAVE $75

Another fast-approaching travel opportunity that deserves your attention at this time is this in-depth tour of one of the greatest cities in the world - New York City.

It's filled with everything that makes the "Big Apple" such a hit - things like sightseeing, outstanding dining experiences, Broadway theatre, and much more.

It will also be a great way to belatedly celebrate our great nation's 250th Birthday that is happening this year. Many of the important events surrounding the American Revolution took place in New York City. Historic figures like George Washington and Alexander Hamilton regularly had reasons to be in the city during this tumultuous time.

A nice group has already reserved - remaining spaces are limited - click here for detailed brochure.

THIS MONTH'S TRAVEL TRIVIA

Question:

• Why is New York City called "The Big Apple?

Answer:

• New York City got its famous nickname in the 1920s from horse racing slang. Stable hands and jockeys used the term "the big apple" to describe the highly coveted, big-money prizes and prestigious racing tracks in New York City.  Hearing the phrase sports writer John J. Fitz Gerald of the New York Morning Telegraph named his racing column "Around The Big Apple".In 1971, the city's tourism board officially adopted the nickname and a red apple logo.
