Your host has returned from the China trip. The first group picture is available. Another is expected shortly along with a name diagram.

Prior to his leaving for the China trip, your host previewed two trips for 2011. One was for Egypt (January 12-26, 2011) and the other for Portugal (June 21-July 2, 2011). The Egypt trip discount prices start at $2598. Portugal at $2998. Discount pricing expires September 30, 2010.

We posted the itineraries of the two trips a short time back. Now, to show some of the pictures from the preview trips but not overwhelm those who prefer a non-picture itinerary, we've added separate versions of the itineraries with pictures added. Note that the blue borders on the pictures indicate that you can click on them to see larger versions of the pictures. Enjoy one type or both if you wish.

Your host obtained a DVD from the ship provider for the Portugal cruise. Somewhat as an experiment, we have excerpted the DVD—including a portion of the music—and made it available for broadband in the .FLV format and the .WMV format, the latter being a much larger format and more of a test of your broadband and computer.
