President's Message: Unique experiences define travel!
Dear
Travelers,
Greetings and Welcome to our World of Travel! I am very excited to present our
NEW 2016 AFC Vacation Planner: 72 pages of incredible travel journeys and
WOW experiences! I know you will enjoy reviewing every page and picking
your next extraordinary vacation with us.
The buzz word in travel these days is "experiential travel" which leads to "Life
Long Learning." This means, today's travelers are not just spectators, but participants that experience first hand what a destination is famous for. This
opens your mind to new discoveries and fantastic memories. Question is, how
does a tour operator provide that experience in a meaningful way? Here's how!
Introducing AFC's New MYSTERY EVENT! In 2016, on every AFC operated tour, we will include a very unique surprise event that is particular
to that destination. You will not know when it will happen, nor what it will
be, but I assure you will be WOW'ed by our creativity and imagination!
This is just another example of how AFC leads the way in innovative
travel experiences, which is why our vacations are so popular.
In closing, remember, BE HAPPY when you travel, not because everything is good, but because you can always find the good side of everything! Enjoying your vacation is 90% attitude! Make the effort to learn
something new every day, and travel will richly reward you! So let AFC
put our 34 years of travel experience to work for you. You'll be glad you
did! See you on down the road.

Your Choice
of
Home Pick-Up Service
Included Home Pickup Airport Service by Van
AFC pioneered the idea of door-to-door home pick-up as an included feature in a tour package.
And even after 24 years, we still do it better than anyone else. Most of our tours involve charter
vans just for AFC clients, so there are no unnecessary stops or circling at the airport. The driver's
gratuity is always included and he picks up your bag from inside your home. Our home pick-up
service extends to all 6 Southern California airports, plus San Antonio & Austin, Texas. AFC also
arranges the airport or pier transportation and reconfirms it on your behalf.
NEW Option for Pick-Up: Towncar Upgrade Service
It is NOW possible to UPGRADE your home pickup to exclusive towncar service for an additional
cost. There are MANY advantages to this service:
• Exclusive direct service - no ride sharing
• Travel in style with uniformed driver
• Ultimate in convenience & dependability
• On return arrival, be met by driver in baggage • Travel with your roommate (when neighbors) claim - car picks you up curbside
Ask your AFC reservationist about this new service. Addtional costs will be quoted at the time
of booking and will vary depending on distance from airport & car occupancy.

Dining is a big part of travel and AFC makes sure you experience delightful,
local, culinary adventures at local restaurants.

Part of Life-Long Learning
At AFC, we blend discovery & education
into all of our escorted vacations. Learn
a new skill while discovering a new
destination. We are famous for arranging
special “Behind the Scenes” tours of
unique attractions and our popular

Expand Your Horizons
Go behind the scenes with AFC
Vacations. You won’t just see the
destination, you’ll experience it like a
local. Enjoy a cooking demonstration,
a class on Broadway theater, tour a
working farm, dine at a sheep station,
while making many incredible memories.

What Are Magic Moments?
At AFC Vacations, we believe in the following
travel concept:
Hotel Silberhorn
Wengen
Be a participant, not a spectator!
Our operations staff in the office and your
vacation manager in the field work extremely
hard at getting you “up close and involved” with
the destination and the people you are visiting.
Most of the time these arrangements are
researched and set up far in advance of your
arrival. However, sometimes the best times are
experiences that just happen during travel. A
surprise local festival, a boat parade, a roadside
fruit stand or a movie being filmed in town.
Something that we have no prior notice of, but
still make something special happen for you to see.
Salmon Rapids Lodge
Idaho
These are called “Magic Moments” and it’s what every AFC escorted vacation
is all about.
Mohonk Mountain House
Mountain View Grand
Want to avoid the long lines and “strip down” at airport security check-in? Then take the time to
enroll in TSA Pre Check In! For $85 per person (good for 5 years), skip the long lines at domestic
airports and only remove your cell phone when going thru the X-Ray devices. Just go online and
make an appointment at one of the many IndentoGO Centers in your city. Bring your government
issued ID to the interview, have your photo taken, plus a fingerprint scan and 3 weeks later you
have a “Known Traveler Number” and card. Then, just call Dave in our air department so he can
add that number to your air ticketing information. And that’s it!
For those that fly internationally, enroll in the Global Entry Program with US Customs ($100 per
person for 5 years). This allows you the same advantages mentioned above when going thru US
Queenstown Lakeland Hotel
Customs upon arriving back home. Call AFC for details on these valuable, time saving programs.

"Mystery tours have something for everyone
from museums to natures spectacular
wonders. AFC really goes out of their way
to create pleasant memoires of great trips."
- Larry and Jan of San Diego, CA
"I have been on 4 Mystery tours. I enjoyed
the art of surprise every time. I would call
them a "History Mystery" tour. Looking
forward to next years offering."
- Betsy of Buena Park, CA
"I can't remember a time when I have been
dissatisfied with the itinerary. The shows

interesting."
- Kathy of North Richland Hills, TX
"If you want to have fun - take a mystery
tour. If you like to have fun and meet new
people, take a mystery tour. You won’t
regret it!"
- Charles of Cibolo, TX
"I was unsure of the whole mystery tour idea
until a friend convinced me to try it. I am
hooked! It is so much fun to be surprised
every step of the way. Even having been to
the area before I was pleasantly surprised
by the unique and fun activities AFC found
for us. Every day was something different &
full of fun and excitement."
- Linda of Phoenix, AZ
"My first thought when considering a
Mystery Tour: 'No, I want to know where I'm
going.' I went for it and after my first one,
I booked two more. What else is there to
say."
- Ruth of San Diego, CA
"Initial reaction was "Kansas City"? but
realized why-not, as it wouldn't have been
a destination we would have ever picked to
see ourselves. By the time we were done
with the first day, we fully appreciated the
value of what Kansas had to offer. Great
thanks! What's more to say? Had a great
time and would definitely suggest the
Mystery Tours and AFC to friends and
family. Thank you and hope to book again
soon."
