Sunny Aruba
Sun, sand, and sea are the three words which best describe this “most arid” of the Dutch Caribbean Islands. Additionally, its rich history beckons visitors to explore the entire island. Aruba lies just 15 miles off the coast of
Venezuela. The flat landscape enhances its white sand beaches making most of the island’s 19 mile coastal length
accessible. With hardly a cloud in the sky, your days will be filled with sunbathing, world-class windsurfing, scuba
diving and water sports. Active vacationers may want to take an off-road Jeep or ATV tour through Aruba’s wild
countryside, sail around the island with stops for snorkeling and swimming, or horseback ride along the coast.
Photographers won’t want to miss the picturesque California Lighthouse. By night, local entertainers come out
at cabarets and dinner shows. This island is also known for high-stakes gambling.
Everything begins in the capital city of Oranjestad , named in honor of the Dutch Royal Family which is known
as the House of Orange. But the island’s history and culture span over 4,500 years.The National Archaeological
Museum of Aruba showcases a vast collection of artifacts.
Just a few miles outside the city limits begins numerous natural resource adventures. For a panoramic view of
the island, climb to the top of Hooiberg which is named after the rare Hooibergite rock formations, only found
in Aruba and Iceland. The Bubali Bird Sanctuary protects coastal and dessert birdlife. Northeast of the capital
you’ll find the Quadirikiri cave which is easily accessible for discovery or spelunking .Within the Arikok National
Park , the Fontein cave entrance displays impressive Caiquetio petroglyphs.

The Baltics
Northern Europe and Scandinavia boasts a kaleidoscope of cultures, languages,
currencies, artistic traditions and ancient histories. The northernmost region
of Europe encompasses the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. The Baltic Sea also is the western gateway to Russia. Nestled
together on the coast of the Baltic Sea, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia make up
the Baltic Region of Eastern Europe. While the three countries are grouped
together geographically, they are drastically different from one another, and
consistently strive to encourage the world to see them as such.Travelers from
the US are most welcome in the Baltics as English is the language for tourism.
This is the land of the “Midnight Sun” in Scandinavia or “White Nights” in St.
Petersburg, Russia as the days are very long from late spring to early autumn.
Many first timers to the north choose to explore this vast region area by
cruising to its diverse ports. Pre and post city stays are perfect ways to take an
in-depth visit to the culturally rich cities of the region. St. Petersburg, Russia, is
the marquee attraction for most Baltic cruises. Most cruise lines offer two full
days in port as there is so much to see within its churches, palaces, museums,
and cultural venues. St. Petersburg is not only a beautiful and intriguing city; it
can be one of the trickiest in Europe to visit due to its visa restrictions. Guidance from your travel consultant is essential.

El Greco’s Toledo, Spain
Just forty miles southwest of Madrid stands majestic Toledo, a beautifully preserved hilltop city perched
above the Tagus River. So rich is its history that UNESCO named Toledo a World Heritage site. It was
the capital of Roman Spain and the center of the Visigoth kingdom. The city was also home to world
famous artist, El Greco, from 1577 until his death in 1641. He used the city as inspiration. Fans of
El Greco should stop by the Casa Museo de El Greco.
Definitely a walking city due to its winding, lantern-lit narrow streets, its architecture reveals strong
Muslim, Jewish and Christian influences including landmark worship locations as the awe-inspiring Gothic cathedral, the Alcazar, the Cristo de la Luz Mosque, Sinagoga de Santa Maria la Blanca, and the tiny
Chapel of St. Tome, which houses El Greco’s The Burial of the Conde de Orgaz, which many consider
his finest painting.
Be sure to give Toledo enough time to capture the essence of its charm while enjoying a coffee on the
square, a tavern supper, peeking into a goldsmith shop, or admiring priceless art treasures.

Bahamas...Islands and Cays
1
When Christopher Columbus first set
foot in the New World, he did so in the
Bahamas, although the exact island
where he landed is still a matter of
debate. The Bahamas chain consists of
700 islands and 2,000 islets called cays.
These days families following a similar
call of adventure and exploration are
setting their sights southeast of the
Florida coastline to the Bahamas for its
brilliant turquoise water, gorgeous sandy
beaches, excellent fishing and diving,
and surroundings that range from quaint
colonial villages to lovely secluded coves.
