AUSTRIA DESTINATION SUMMIT – NOVEMBER 2010
A wonderful in-depth reintroduction to Vienna and all its charms, followed by several days in Burgenland (south Austria) which is the authentic wine country, and birthplace of Franz Liszt (who would be 200 years old this year). There will be many concerts this year in the concert hall built next to the modest little home he was born in. In Eisenstadt, you can visit Esterhazy Castle, where Hayden was musical director in his own concert hall for over 20 years. This part of Austria once actually was part of Hungary.
TELLURIDE, COLORADO – MAY 2010
Few people know how accessible this beautiful destination is by driving from Phoenix.
The upper village is the place to stay, and you ride without cost up and down the cable cars to the village with all its charming shops and restaurants.
AZAMARA CRUISE – OCTOBER 2009
Beginning in Istanbul, and following an unusual itinerary around the coastline of Turkey to the South, which I had missed during my first trip there. The towns of Bodrum and Antalya are not to be missed! Then to Egypt, and a full day trip to the pyramids and many of the more unusual spots in Cairo. Azamara has become much more all-inclusive in nature over the past year, now including gratuities and wine with dinner. We found the 700 passenger ship to be perfect size.
