Looking to 2010 - this is once more the year for the Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany.  This event takes place every ten years and is in keeping with the pledge made by the citizens of this fairy-tale town in southern Germany, when, in 1634 the Plague claimed hundreds of thousands of lives throughout Europe.    The pledge made to God by the citizens of Oberammergau was that if He would spare their lives, they, the citizens, would every ten years re-enact the Passion of Christ.

They have kept this promise faithfully, only intercepted by wars and 2010 is the next opportunity to experience this powerful and touching re-enactment. We are very pleased to offer multiple departures from late May into early September with several exciting itineraries added to the two days stay in Oberammergay for the main event.   These itineraries consist of Exploring the Alpine Countries  - Discovering Croatia - The Imperial Cities of Prague - Vienna and Budapest - Italy and France and Bavaria.  

These trips vary in length from 10 to 13 days and again, they all include the two days in Oberammergau with reserved seats to the Passion Play and then the other parts become your choice.   Rates start at $4899.00 per person double occupancy,  including airfare from Boston or New York and go up to $5799.00.  First class hotels and most meals included in all trips.   

We are offering all the Oberammergau programs in cooperation with Collette Vacations and we are pleased to have this opportunity to offer  their top quality tours to you at no added cost.  Depending on the number of local participant from New London, Middlesex and Tolland Counties we will be glad to add on transportation to and from our airports at the lowes available cost.

All travelers planning a trip outside of the US in the future are advised that  valid passport is now required with the temporary exception of travel to Canada.    For this destination we are also pleased to offer several trips in cooperation with Paragon Tours who often do pick up travelers in our area.   
  

ALL TRIP COSTS ARE SUBJECT TO FUEL INCREASES.

Please note: We will be using the upper left parking lot at Wal-Mart Norwich on route 82 (also known as Salem Turnpike) for all our tours in the months ahead due to construction at commuter lot.We wish you welcome onboard and look forward to sharing the above and other great trips with you.

Suggestions:  Some ask if travel is still affordable, especially for Americans wishing to travel abroad:  Yes, it is.   Inclusive packages are your best value since many of the components were already purchased before our dollar went into this year's steep decline.  Collette has warded off most currency issues because so many of their tours were prepaid in pre-decline months, most of them in 2007 for 2008 and into 2009.    Same can be said for many of the Globus Tours to Europe and the Middle East.   Viking River Cruises offer great values since their river and land packages were all prepaid in 2007 or earlier thus leaving only the airfares to be increased and these increases are mostly fuel related and amounting to $50 - $100.00 per destination in Europe and beyond.

There are too many destinations and events to list here so let me close for today by reminding those interested in the Passion Play in oberammergay in 2010, we are already taking names and detailed programs should be available to us by end of this summer.

And for those who want to be assured that the currency issue is not going to be a factor:

Why not explore America?   There are so many fabulous destinations to be seen and enjoyed right here in this great land of ours - we could all spend a life time just seeing the United States.   Looking ahead to next spring (too late for this year)  Why not take yourselves to the South West part of our land, Arizona and New Mexico are both great destinations with so very much to offer and the desert in early spring with the cacti in bloom is a sight to behold.     Before you conclude that travel is not in your future, please give us a call - I am certain I can, within reason, find a destination for you that you will absolutely love and leave you wondering why you had not called us much sooner?!

We look forward to hearing from you and to being of service to you and wish you Happy Trails.    

Sincerely yours in travel, Inger King
