Hi Dale,

Intracoastal Waterways Cruise Line / 14 nights / November 4 - 18, 2007 / Warren, RI to Jacksonville / small ship, 100 passengers - 50 cabins.

Warren, RI / Newport, RI / Baltimore, MD / St. Michaels, MD / Norfolk, VA / Belhaven, NC / Beaufort, NC / Southport, NC / Georgetown, SC / Charleston, SC / Beaufort, SC / Savannah, GA / Brunswick, GA / Fernandina Beach, FL / Jacksonville, Fl

I did this unique trip several years ago and it was a truly memorable time - great naturalist on board who explained the flora/fauna, etc / all meals on board. I have some good group pricing ranging from $3,263.00 to $4,004.00 / small ship and lots of good company!! Port charges are $200.00. These are per person price based on double occupancy. Wonderful chef. Shore excursions are extra and are very reasonably priced. Most stops are right in town so you can also walk. This is a cruise that goes to many places that many have not been to --- so now is your opportunity to see the USA (not in your Chevrolet!!)

Thanks,
Ginger Dahlberg

Dale,
This is one of the best travel deals around.

Several years ago I ran two trips to Mexico's Copper Canyon offered by our favorite local tour operator. Since then I have periodically received requests for information about a repeat of this trip. For various reasons we have not done that, but here is a deal I got 2 days ago for the same trip -- only better and cheaper!

This tour does not use a bus trip through the hot Sonoran desert to get to Copper Canyon. You fly directly to Los Mochis (LMM)(on Topolobampo Bay), the western end of the railroad that traverses the Canyon. Previously we flew on AeroMex to Culiacán for customs then back to Los Mochis.

Now, DL has begun LAX-LMM service direct (3 hrs), and at a decent hour of the day (11am). The tour uses only first class hotels, first class train service, includes sightseeing, 17 meals, 6 large margaritas, tips for bellmen, maids, RR station and train stewards, accompanying guide/escort.

Leaves LAX on 10/8/07, returns, 10/14. That season is the best in that area as the rains come in the summer, and rivers are full, waterfalls are falling, flowers are blooming -- not too hot. Super!

All this for less than $200 per day. Air fare is extra, estimated at $350 as of July 12. I'll send a copy of the flyer to anyone interested.

As a matter of fact it's such a good deal, I may join it myself even though I've been there before.
