Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge!

 

 

Our friends at Viviani created a very unique and memorable itinerary combining the best of San Francisco and Napa Valley.

Spend Memorial Day weekend in San Francisco and the Napa Valley, to celebrate the iconic Golden Gate Bridge’s 75th Anniversary.

Memorial Day weekend is full of activites in the City by the Bay to celebrate the Bridge, complete with history and festivals.

 

Enjoy three nights in the Napa Valley, with two day trips to San Francisco and one full day of touring the Napa Valley. Bring your friends and enjoy an exciting day on the bay, learning how to man a sailboat,

with a professional Captain.

Fly above the Napa Valley in a hot air balloon, and taste world-renown wines at exclusive wineries.

 

Contact Ken Marshall, Ken@greatgetaways.travel, 913.338.2244 ext 305, for more information about

this once in a lifetime experience!

Really? I don’t think so. At any rate, here she is in all her glory at the Singapore Air Show, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner:

Europe is filled with priceless gems. Consider us your fine jeweler.
From the spectacle that is Rome to the sparkle of Paris’s lights, from the lavish grandeur of St. Petersburg to Scotland’s legendary golf courses, the Continent is literally covered with countless treasures. In this Destination Guide you’ll find these exciting travel packages featuring Virtuoso-only fares and a host of exclusive extras, along with insider tips that will put a brilliant shine on all your European adventures.


In this issue

6: NORTH
Pay a visit to Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid, then rail past Scotland’s picturesque glens. Drive around Ireland’s lovely Ring of Kerry, dine in Gordon Ramsay’s much-lauded London restaurant, or hop across all five British Isles at once.

26: SOUTH
Do you prefer a romp around Rome and the spectacular Cinque Terre, or a luxury-yacht cruise around the Greek Isles? You might taste fine wines in Tuscany, tapas in Barcelona, or a Sicilian cannoli that’ll make you swoon.

56: EAST
Visit a traditional Turkish bath and the "Black Madonna" in Poland. Watch a "Swan Lake" performance in St. Petersburg, wander Moscow’s Red Square, or cruise between the two along the scenic Volga. And speaking of scenic rivers, few compare to the storied Danube…

66: WEST
Stay in a Parisian palace, an ancestral Loire château with the count and countess, or an opulent hotel with views of Versailles. Waltz your way around Vienna, tiptoe through the tulips in Holland, and dine in an authentic GDR restaurant while in Berlin.

Enjoy this issue
