Newsletter Dated January 5, 2009 Dear Vacations To Go Customer, Happy New Year! Is travel included in your New Year's resolutions? We offer all the best ways to see the world, from Caribbean cruises on ships large and small to river cruises on intimate vessels, and from escorted tours of the British Isles to wildlife encounters on African safaris. Here are some of the most popular options in the world today, for your consideration. Just click any highlighted vacation for prices and itineraries. See the dramatic canyonlands of the American Southwest on an escorted tour of national parks. Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef or witness a sunset at Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Australia. Take in the stunning views of the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, or discover the treasures of Rome, Florence and Venice on a tour of Italy. See fishing villages set amid majestic fjords on a Norwegian coastal cruise, or go to the heart of the Brazilian rain forest on an Amazon River cruise. Beautiful Old World cities like Vienna and Budapest are visited on a Danube River cruise. Or, learn about China's culture and history and see the extraordinary Three Gorges Dam on a Yangtze River cruise. You can meet the endangered mountain gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a Uganda safari, and witness the Great Migration in Tanzania. Or, combine wildlife and winelands on a South Africa safari. For lazy days on white-sand beaches, there's no better value than an all-inclusive tropical resort. They combine accommodations, activities, meals and beverages in one upfront price. We represent all of them, throughout the Caribbean and Mexico. Of course, we'll always bring you the best cruise bargains in Alaska, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Panama Canal and more.
