CUBA CRUISE & TOUR with Dr. Michael Wilcox

R E GISTER N O W !

With all the talk of improved relationship to Cuba recently and the visit of Obama, many feel Cuba is now open for Tourism.

Things have changed, but it has not completely opened up yet, and it will be many, many years before it will be able to fix up its infrastructure for tourism, especially the hotels. Cuba is high on our family’s bucket list and we have heard from others that travel with us, that they also have an interest in Cuba. We have looked into the options and talked with those that have recently visited Cuba. Here are the big issues we know about: • Cuba is NOT open to regular tourism as you normally experience in the Caribbean. Visitors are on a Cultural Exchange.

Your visit to the many interesting Unesco World Heritage sites are mixed with Cuba Cultural visits to Museums, schools or other that demonstrates local cultural. So one of the problems is trying to see what options would offer the most for what we feel is best to see and experience.

• Those we talked to that have visited Cuba, loved the trip but did not have a good experience in the hotels. Many of the hotels did not clean the room or change the bed until they found a maid and paid them extra to clean their room. With the many years of embargos on Cuba, many of the hotels are run down with time, and the lack of money has made it really hard to keep up with repairs and improvements. A cruise maybe the BEST option.

We are looking at and talking to many cruise and local tour companies about arranging a tour that might fit being able to do both cultural and still see the important sites. We would look at doing a group if we can find the right tour or cruise. If you are really interested in visiting Cuba and want to be on our list of passengers to contact first when we find something we feel would work, please visit our website, click on the Cuba link and leave your information. If we are able to find the right tour or cruise - it will be offered first to those on the Cuba list.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER PADDLE BOAT New Orleans to Memphis

9 day tour - November 26, 2017 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

Oak Alley Plantation - on the west bank of the Mississippi River - Vacherie, Louisiana

The excitement, fun, and relaxation of a Mississippi paddle boat cruise combined with the study of the Civil War with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox. This fantastic paddle boat cruise starts in New Orleans and travels up the Mississippi to Memphis, Tennesse. When you combine the American Queen Paddle Steamboat package with our optional 4 day, 3 night extension package you will experience it all. Our optional extension package has added two full days of touring in New Orleans that will include everything from Bourbon Street to an authentic Cajun experience – a boat ride on the Bayou. We have even included Mardi Gras World Studio where they are in the middle of building next year’s Mardi Gras floats. We will then board our beautiful American Queen Paddle Boat Steamer for our 8-day 7-night cruise on the Mississippi River. Stops will include the wonderful Oak Alley Plantation (seen above) and Natchez, the oldest town in Mississippi with beautiful Antebellum homes (built before the Civil War). You will enjoy other wonderful stops along the Mississippi including the famous Civil War site Vicksburg. In Memphis, our optional tour package includes two nights in a deluxe hotel along with two full days of touring. Our tours of Memphis and the surrounding area includes the Civil War site of Shiloh, the home of Elvis Presley’s Graceland and the birthplace of rock and roll – Sun Studio. “If music were a religion, then Memphis would be Jerusalem and Sun Studio it’s most holy shrine.”

You do not want to be touring or sailing the Mississippi in the heat of 90 plus degrees and 90 to 100% humidity. We have picked the perfect time of year, the end of November in the South has the best temperatures. Our tour / Mississippi River Cruise starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2017 (November 26). Thanksgiving is over, the Friday after Thanksgivings maniac shopping is over and the Christmas parties haven’t started. The average temperature at the time of our sailing is 70 degrees in New Orleans and the vast majority of our stops the average temperatures range 65 to 70. There are fewer crowds along with perfect touring and walking temperatures.

Another reason this is the perfect time of year is that New Orleans lights up for Christmas & Thanksgiving weekends. We will see the pageantry and beauty of Christmas in New Orleans and other cities as we travel the Mississippi without the cold temperatures of Christmas. Consider all this has to offer: The BEST in educators, a fantastic Mississippi paddle boat cruise, Christmas Lights & pageantry, all while avoiding stifling heat and humidity.

ICELAND, NORWEGIAN FJORDS & ARCTIC CIRCLE CRUISE Iceland, Norway & Denmark

17 day cruise/tour - May 30, 2017 with Glenn Rawson

Goðafoss Falls - Bárðardalur, Iceland

We wanted to put a tour and cruise that would combine the spectacular countries of Iceland and Norway with a fantastic cruise through Norway’s majestic fjords all the way into the Arctic Circle. We found just the right combination!!! This is one of the most staggeringly beautiful trips you can take anywhere on this earth. Cruising through the Fjords of Norway all the way into the Arctic Circle is an experience rarely matched by any other tour. We have combined this special Fjords of Norway & Arctic Circle Cruise with a land tour that includes Iceland and Denmark.

The terrain of Iceland is unlike any other. It is the land of extremes, from volcanic landscapes to glacial ice caps. We will spend a few days in Iceland doing a fire and ice tour in order to see the very unique and vibrant landscape before flying to Copenhagen. You will then cruise through stunning fjords and explore beautiful ports of call! You will pass and stop at many of the quaint villages located throughout Norway’s Fjords. Your ports of call include Alesund Norway, Tromso Norway, Honningsvag Norway, Geiranger Norway, Olden Norway, Bergen Norway and Copenhagen Denmark. Two of your ports of call (Tromso & Honningsvag) are located deep inside the Arctic Circle. You will spend 4 days cruising inside the Arctic Circle during the longest days of the year when the sun never sets.

To this special cruise we have added a land tour that will include Iceland and Copenhagen, Denmark. This really is the best way to see and experience the BEST of Scandinavia!!! Life just doesn’t get any better than this. We recommend this cruise/tour be put at the top of your bucket list of places to visit in the world!

INDIA

with Kathmandu & Mt. Everest 16 day tour - October 19, 2017

Taj Mahal - Agra, India

Why this year is the best year to explore India The purchase power of the dollar: Not long ago we were getting 42 Rupee’s (India’s currency) for each dollar.

We are now getting 65 Rupee’s for each dollar. You do not need to be a math teacher to understand that everything has become less expensive. India is trying to do things that would take the number of Rupee’s per dollar below 50 so the savings will not last. Our 2016 group is using the savings to improve the tour AND upgrade many of our hotels to opulent Maharaja Palaces!

12

“We Don ’ t Sen d You, We Ta ke You! ”

5 Star Luxury

The quality of hotels in India can make or break your tour. Most 3 and some 4 star hotels are not up to US standards and are not always safe. Our hotels for the most part beat 5 star US standards. Our hotels are like an oasis with many acres of manicured gardens. Your tour includes real 5 star opulent luxury palaces (built by Maharajas), along with 5 star luxurious hotels! Here is a partial list of hotels we expect to use on your tour: the 5 star JW Marriott Deli, the 5 star Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, the 5 star Jaypee Palace Agra, the 5 star Taj Mahal Palace in Jaipur, the 5 star Ananit Spa & Resorts Pushkar and the Taj Hari Mahal Palace in Jodhpur. As you can see we are staying in a lot of Palaces that very few tours ever get to stay in.

National Geographic created a list of ten places you should see before you die. As part of your tour, you will have the rare opportunity to experience the famous Pushkar Festival that was part of that list of 10. The Pushkar Festival is considered the oldest festival in the world. It has been held annually for over 1,000 years. An astonishing 50,000 camels along with cattle and horses are brought to Pushkar each year to barter and sell. It’s a fascinating and spectacular sight that will rank at the top of your list of travel experiences. Less than 1% of the visitors to India get the opportunity to attend a Pushkar Festival.

There is only one 5 star and a few 1 to 2 star small hotels at Pushkar, so most of the visitors have to stay in tents during their visit to the festival. With our connections in India, we have been given the 5 star luxury hotel for our group to stay in.

Optional 4 Day Extension To The Ancient Country of Bhutan

The rare opportunity to visit Bhutan has never been offered before by us and we do not know if we will ever have the opportunity again. Bhutan is a small picturesque country located high in the Himalayas with a border to Tibet. It was almost completely cut off for centuries with no roads in or out. It has tried to let in some aspects of the outside world while fiercely guarding its ancient traditions. They still wear clothing styles that are from the 16th century. Bhutan “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, only began to open up to outsiders in the 1970’s.

Bhutan’s ancient Buddhist culture, friendly people and breathtaking scenery make it a natural tourist attraction. Tourism is very restricted, they limit the number of visas each year and all visitors must travel as part of a pre-arranged package or guided tour, it is not open to independent Travelers. Fun For Less Tours Owners have been to Bhutan and have worked hard to obtain a chance for our passengers to visit this wonderful country. We highly recommend you add this optional extension!!!!

CHINA YANGTZE with optional Bali extension

15 day tour/cruise - April 20, 2017 with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox

The Great Wall of China

Why China Should Be Your First Choice!

We have the BEST Tour to China!!!! We include both the Li River and the Yangtze River, we visit more cities, we stay in 5-star luxury hotels throughout, we have the best 5-star ship, we fly instead of drive inside China and we have the best educator – Dr. S. Michael Wilcox during your Yangtze Cruise!!!

If you have not been to China, we recommend you make it your number one priority!

Let us try and tell you in a few words why China is the best tour anywhere in the world.

A cruise on the Yangtze is more beautiful than cruising the Inside Passage of Alaska. The 60,000 life size stone carvings of Dazu (carved by monks over thousands of years), is a sight to behold. The Li River’s staggering beauty will be one of your most favorite touring days. You will marvel as you explore the 9 mile city wall of Xi’an with it’s draw bridges and moats still intact. Climbing the Great Wall creates memories for a lifetime. The Chinese Cultural Village can be compared to the beautiful Polynesian Cultural Center in Oahu. Add the experience of seeing the Terra-cotta Warriors, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Hong Kong, Beijing and so much more – all in a country that is friendly and loving to Americans. You will live and cruise in 5-star luxury throughout the tour. Please believe us on this one. THIS SHOULD BE YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY!!!

“We Don ’ t Sen d You, We Ta ke You! ”

Major Addition To Our China Tour Our special tour to China is not a copy of other tour companies’ tours. Our tour was designed by Jim and Carol Tyndall (the owners of Fun For Less Tours) after many weeks of exploration in China. Their goal was to make sure you see the best of the best that China has to offer. That is why they included in their tour both the Li River and the Yangtze River - most tour companies make you choose a tour that includes the Li River OR the Yangtze, but rarely if ever, offer a tour that would include both! On a recent three week exploration of new areas of China they had not visited, the owners found an area that was so fantastic they had to add it to our tour!

Introducing OUR BEST addition ever! Zhangjiajie National Forest

In 2016 we added an optional extension to Zhangjiajie onto our China tour. China is Jim and Carol’s favorite place to visit in the world.

They have been there more than 20 times with groups and on their own explorations. They were amazed at the unique beauty of the little known Zhangjiajie National Forest. They spent three days exploring Zhangjiajie and during that time they saw plenty of Chinese tourists, but never saw any European or American tourists. Zhangjiajie is now their favorite place in China! They had to find a way to add it to our already special China Tour. If you saw the movie Avatar, the stunningly beautiful hanging mountains were actually filmed in Zhangjiajie. They filmed the Zhangjiajie Mountains and then cut off the bottoms to give the illusion that they were hanging in midair.

The Avatar Mountains do exist and they are in Zhangjiajie, China!

2017 China Offers Two Choices:

• The Regular China tour is the same great tour we have been offering. It includes Hong Kong, Shenzhen, China Cultural Village, Guilin, The Li River, The Yangtze, Chongqing, Dazu, Xi’an, Terra-cotta Warriors, Beijing, the Great Wall and so much more.

• The Regular Tour with Zhangjiajie option departs five days earlier than the regular tour. It has everything offered in the regular tour, just in a different order, PLUS the 3 night extension to Zhangjiajie.

SOUTH PACIFIC CRUISE

Tonga, Samoa, Tahiti, Fiji, Cook Islands & New Zealand 22 OR 26 day cruise/tour - November 24, 2017 with Glenn Rawson

22

“We Don ’ t Sen d You, We Ta ke You! ”

WOW, at last, a cruise that visits Tahiti, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand and the Cook Islands. This is honestly the first time we have ever seen it done right, a cruise that does it all! For January of 2017, we offered a tour/cruise combination that included it all. We took a repositioning cruise that stopped in Tonga, the Cook Islands, and Tahiti on the way to the US AND added a land tour to Samoa and Fiji, along with hotels and flights. It completely sold out. This new special itinerary for November 2017, allows you to do it all without additional flights and hotels. It is the perfect cruise. We have never seen this combination offered without it being an around the world cruise with a gigantic number of days needed. This can be done in 22 or 26 days. It all depends on if you return all the way back to Auckland before going home (26 days) OR you get off in Fiji to fly home (22 days), avoiding the many days at sea returning back to Auckland.

The timing is great. You can enjoy Thanksgiving with the family, shop on Black Friday, leave early Friday evening to fly to LAX to catch your late evening flight to Auckland. If you do the 22 day, you will be home on the 15th of December, long before Christmas, or if you stay on all the way back to Auckland, you will be home on the 19th. Still plenty of time before Christmas.

We have looked at hundreds and hundreds of cruise itineraries over the years, and none have come close to being this perfect! Don’t miss out; we don’t know when or if we will ever see this great of an itinerary again.

Here is a PARTIAL List of what you will see and experience:

• Prague, Czech Republic: Twice the capital of the world. This is one of the greatest cities of the world and should not be missed.

• Salzburg, Austria: The location of the Sound of Music film, ancient old town and a fantastic fortress.

• Vienna, Austria: It is a beautiful city filled with music, palaces and cobblestone streets.

• Budapest, Hungary: It is the combination of two ancient towns, Buda & Pest. They were located across from each other on the Danube River and today they are one city.

• Romania: This is our favorite country in Europe! Here is a taste of what Romania has to offer: • Count Vlad Dracula (yes, there was a Count Dracula) and the Transylvania Alps. Next to the Swiss Alps these are the most impressive mountains in Europe.

• Sinaia: nestled in beautiful mountains, this small town has what we consider the #1 castle in the world – Peles Castle!

It is beautiful on the outside, but unbelievable on the inside.

• Castle Hunedoara: This 14th Century Castle was voted as the scariest place on earth. Count Vlad Dracula was held prisoner there for 7 years during the 1400’s.

• The walled cities of Sibiu and Sighișoara are two of the best preserved walled cities in all of Europe.

• Tarnovo, Bulgaria: One of the oldest towns in Bulgaria. Known for being the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire.

CARIBBEAN CRUISE 9 day cruise/tour - March 31, 2017

Virgin Islands St Thomas sunrise

The Award Winning Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, “Harmony of the Seas”.

Travel weekly reader’s Choice Awards for 13 years running has voted Royal Caribbean as the BEST CRUISE LINE OVERALL!!!

It’s time you take a real vacation!!!

The truth is Fun For Less Tours adventures are not really vacations, at least not where you can pull up a chair, read a book and relax. After most of our tours and cruises you often need a vacation! We finally decided we needed to bring you a trip that was truly a VACATION! The owners of Fun For Less Tours are often out of country over 200 days a year escorting groups or experiencing new areas for you to visit. It sounds like fun, but escorting large groups all over the world is not a vacation – so even they need a vacation. Come join the Tyndall family (owners of Fun For Less Tours) on a cruise that is really not a tour – its a fantastic vacation!

We picked the award winning Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, “Harmony of the Seas”. Travel weekly reader’s Choice Awards for 13 years running has voted Royal Caribbean as the BEST CRUISE LINE OVERALL!!! Royal Caribbean has created the most unique and fun ships of all the different cruise lines and the Harmony ship will be the BEST yet! It will be the largest cruise ship ever built! It will set sail May of 2016. It has the most modern and the most fun ever put into one ship. It will even feature full Broadway Shows during your sailing. You will never feel crowded - there are so many open areas, so many places to see and be, including a Central Park with 22,000 live trees & shrubs. There is even a Coney Island inspired Boardwalk with real arcade games and a merry go round. Visit our new website for pictures and videos of the new Harmony ship!

A Partial list of what you will experience in Entertainment:

In the Grand Show Room there will be two full length Musicals: The full Broadway Musical “Greece” and “Columbus, the Musical”, about a distant relative of Christopher Columbus who has his own adventure at sea.

The Aqua Theater has two great shows: “The Fine Line” and “Hideaway Heist”. The first is a gravity-defying diving and acrobatic display and the second is a comedic whodunit with highflying performance tricks set against the background of a1950’s holiday resort. It is all helped by projected 3D images, optical illusions and extra dimensions.

In Studio B there will be two multimedia ice shows: In the “1887” Show a young woman travels through time and space, discovering the wonders of the universe & in the “iSkate Showcase”, skaters show off their best moves to songs of their choice. The best part, our wonderful Royal Caribbean Representative, will reserve all of our show tickets in advance!

50

“We Don ’ t Sen d You, We Ta ke You! ”

The ship is the real treat and vacation! It is so great that you would love the cruise even if it never stopped at a port of call!

The Harmony Ship will travel from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Nassau in the Bahamas, then on to St. Thomas and St. Martin before sailing back to Fort Lauderdale. Your price includes transfers, deluxe hotel, ALL shore excursions and so much more!

ISRAEL & JORDAN Holy Land Tour

Jerusalem skyline, Israel

Garden Tomb - Jerusalem

The Treasury - Petra, Jordan

Dome of the Rock - Jerusalem

The Holy Lands are on both sides of the Jordan River. Your tour will include all of the important spiritual sites in Israel, along with Mt. Nebo and the most likely area Jesus was baptized in Jordan. We will also swim in the Dead Sea. A few years ago the world was asked to vote on a new Seven Wonders of the World. Along with places like Machu Picchu and the Great Wall, Petra in Jordan was voted as one of the new Seven Wonders. You will have the chance to experience Petra on this tour.

Here is a partial list of what you will see and experience:

Jerusalem, the sea of Galilee, Bethlehem, Jerusalem Center, Nazareth, Garden of Gethsemane, Mount of Olives, the Garden Tomb, Mount of Beatitudes, Mt. Carmel, Capernaum, Masada, Caesarea, Mt. Tabor, Antonia Fortress, tour on top of Temple Mount, Palace of Caiaphas, Mt. Nebo, Jesus’ baptismal area, swim in the Dead Sea, Petra, Amman and so much more! We also visit places others miss or are not allowed to visit. Some even leave off Bethlehem, and most leave off Jordan! One of the sites missed by everyone else: The ongoing excavations of the City of Lehi. A cave was discovered a short distance down from Jerusalem with writings of a Prophet from 600 BC. The Nomad tribes consider the hill above the cave to be a sacred place. As they put it, “Before there was Muhammad there was a great prophet named Lehi and he taught from that hill”. This will be a major highlight of your tour in Israel. The excavations are on an Army Base. Only those excavating and Fun For Less Tours have been given permission to go onto the site.

To see a video on the Lehi excavations go to the Israel section of our website you will find a link. NOTE: The excavations are now far enough along, there are stairs into the underground excavations.
