Tuscany and Venetian Treasures
September 14-22, 2007
It has been said if you're lucky enough to find yourself dining at dusk on a terrace in Tuscany, you really can't ask for more. And yet on this trip there is so much more. Go where the wine is from a nearby vineyard, the olives are picked in the backyard and the bread was made an hour ago, warm and crusty sitting next to a hunk of velvety cheese. Go where a gondola ride is followed by a trip to the fabled Harry's Bar, order a chilled cocktail and toast the sunset. Choose a mask from thousands, feed the pigeons in St. Mark's square, revel in the ancient glory and opulence of Venice. And still, there is more. It will be very hard to choose the moment you feel the luckiest.

Embrace Italy's diversity with stays in historic Chianciano, located in the cypress-covered rolling hills of Tuscany, and in the cosmopolitan resort of Lido di Jesolo on the Adriatic Sea. Savor the medieval ambience of Chianciano's old hilltop center with its idyllic vistas, and stroll the town's tree-lined streets flanked with fashionable shops. Flourishing Lido di Jesolo, famous for its golden beach landscapes and delightful Mediterranean breeze, is one of Italy's greatest seaside resorts just a short distance from the enchantment of Venice.

Prague and Fairy Tale Bavaria
October 12-20, 2007
From the land of Edelweiss and bratwurst to a fairy tale city of spires and domes, this is a gorgeous journey through the heart of Europe. Go where the Romantic Road takes you back in time, over cobblestone streets and through medieval villages. Browse in quaint little shops and enjoy a cozy tavern. Go where the roots of Bohemia thrive in Prague, where Mozart and Kafka wandered, where the 14th century Charles Bridge still teems with artists, puppeteers and musicians. Go to Dresden and see museums, churches and the spectacular Semper Opera House, and learn why they call this the "Florence of the North."
