LEWIS & CLARKS EXPEDITION SNAKE & COLUMBIA RIVER BY PADDLE BOAT 9 day cruise/tour - June 17, 2018 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

Majestic and Unimaginably Gorgeous!

If you want to witness staggering beauty, then this is the cruise for you. If you want to be taught about Lewis & Clark’s expedition, then this is the cruise for you. If you would like to learn about Sacajawea, their faithful Native Indian guide, then, this is the cruise for you. If you want to follow the path of Lewis and Clark on a luxury paddle boat down the Snake River connecting to the Columbia River, then this is the cruise for you. If you want to experience all this with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox as your educator, then this is the cruise for you. This will be our third time we are offering a paddle boat cruise. We are truly amazed at how much our passengers enjoy these relaxing cruises. Of the three cruises we have offered, this will be by far the most beautiful.

The ship is smaller than the American Queen, it is more like a wonderful boutique ship that holds about 200 passengers.

There are no inside cabins, there are a few outside cabins with windows, but the vast majority of the cabins have private veranda balconies. A balcony cabin on a major cruise line is rarely used as 90% of the sailing time is out to sea with only a big ocean to view. Very little time is spent sitting on your balcony. Not so with river cruising. 100% of the time there is something to look at as you are always sailing between mountains, forests, and cities. The scenery is always changing, constantly being replaced by new scenery. We highly recommend having a cabin that opens up onto a private veranda balcony.

Witness the Precious Lands of the Pacific Northwest Just as it Appeared to Lewis and Clark in 1805.

Nowhere is the timelessness of rivers more apparent than here in the pristine Pacific Northwest, a captivating corner of America which displays an abundance of awe-inspiring, natural beauty. This special cruise is specifically tailored to maximize daytime river cruising for optimal viewing of spectacular scenery and iconic highlights such as the Columbia River Gorge. As you cruise along the Columbia and Snake Rivers, you will bear witness to the precious land just as it appeared to Lewis and Clark in 1805 – majestic and unimaginably glorious.

Pioneering reminders range from Fort Clatsop outside Astoria, Oregon, where Lewis & Clark survived the harsh winter, to the sister cities of Clarkston, Washington, and Lewiston, Idaho. The explorers overcame the formidable Celilo Falls and currents near The Dalles, Oregon, a struggle brought to light at Rock Fort Campsite. The role of Sacajawea in the expedition’s success is interpreted at the state park in Washington’s Tri-Cities Region. At Multnomah Falls, snow melt streams plunge more than 600 feet in two tiered cascades down a sheer cliff face. Deeper than the Grand Canyon, Idaho’s Hells Canyon is a dramatic crack in the earth with raging waters. Whether you choose to take in the scenery from Mt. Hood’s Timberline Lodge nestled among the pines or climb the Astoria Column to view the expansive Pacific, a voyage on the Columbia and Snake Rivers will show you the world from a new perspective.

Free Shore Excursions with the ship's Hop on Hop off Buses One of the wonderful things included with the American Queen Steamboat Company are their free shore excursions. At every port of call they have their “Hop on Hop off” buses that leave several times an hour, making stops throughout the port of call town or village. Several times an hour the buses come by to move you to your next area that you want to experience.

They also offer what they call Premium Shore Excursions. These are the tours that leave the small port and head back to areas like Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens and more. For many of the stops along this special cruise, all you need is their (hop on hop off ) buses for site seeing. Then in other ports of call we would highly recommend doing Our Premium Shore Excursions Package.

We have created our own Premium Shore Excursions Package. If you were to buy the same tours, transfers and hotel night in Portland from the ship, it would cost you over $500. Our total Premium Shore Excursions Package is only $299. You will save over $200.

Our Optional Premium Shore Excursion Package includes: • • • • •

Tour of Spokane and transfer to the ship on day 2.

Full day tour to Mount Hood, Timberline Lodge, Multnomah Falls and more.

Lewis & Clark Expedition's Middle Village-Station Camp, Lewis and Clark National Park, Fort Clatsop and more.

Full day to Mount St. Helens and a tour of Portland.

DUBAI & OMAN

Plus The Ultimate Holy Lands 23 day tour - March 2, 2018 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

Dubai skyline at dusk, UAE

Our Highest Recommendation

This special tour combines the experience of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat and Salalah (Nephi’s Bountiful) with our Ultimate Holy Lands Tour, that includes Israel, Jordan & Egypt. By adding only 6 days to our Ultimate Holy Land Tour, you can enjoy the best the Middle East has to offer and the BEST PART, you can add it all without having to pay for any of the additional flights.

That’s right, I am saying all the airfare you need to visit Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat and Salalah (Nephi’s Bountiful) is FREE if you purchase our group airfare.

Airline Cost Comparison:

Adding Dubai, the ancient city of Muscat, Abu Dhabi and Salalah (Nephi’s Bountiful) to our Ultimate Holy Lands Tour, more than doubles the amount of flights. As you will see it does not double the cost of your airfare. Following page is the flight comparison of our Ultimate Holy Lands flights and of Dubai, Muscat, Salalah & Abu Dhabi with Holy Lands flight costs. The comparison is based off Salt Lake City air using Delta, United or Egypt Air. The price for airfare from other cities will vary.

22

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

S i g n a t u re To u r

Ultimate Holy Lands Flight Costs from Salt Lake City include the following flights: • • • •

Salt Lake City to Amman Jordan.

Amman Jordan to Cairo.

Cairo back to Salt Lake City.

Cost of Airfare: $1,797.

• • • • • • • •

Salt Lake City to Dubai.

Dubai to Salalah in Oman.

Salalah to Muscat in Oman.

Muscat to Dubai.

Dubai to Amman Jordan.

Amman Jordan to Cairo.

Cairo to Salt Lake City.

Cost of Airfare: $1,779.

Dubai & Oman plus the Ultimate Holy Land Flight Costs from Salt Lake City include the following flights:

Even though you doubled the number of flights, the price of air went slightly down. NOW for the BEST part. You will be flying on the #1 Airline in the world. Emirates Air is ranked #1 most luxurious Airline in the world! By comparison, when you look at Delta’s ranking in the world it comes in #35, United’s ranking is #68, Egypt Air doesn’t even rank in the top 100. It really is a No-Brainer, you can add all the airfare needed to visit Dubai, Salalah, Muscat and Abu Dhabi at NO ADDITIONAL costs for airfare, if you purchase our group airfare.

Dune Bashing in the Arabian Desert

Your trip includes driving the Arabian Desert Sand Dunes in a luxurious four-wheel drive vehicle. Enjoy the ride in comfort with air-conditioning while you take a thrill ride of a lifetime. What a wonderful fun experience. BEST PART, the four-wheel drive vehicles are built with special suspension and tires that are built to drive on the sand dunes. We never felt thrown around or heavily jolted; it was just an A+ thrill ride!!! We end at sunset in the desert where we will watch the sun go down and enjoy a wonderful dinner and show before returning back to civilization.

Oman

- “Is This Nephi’s Land Bountiful?”

Arabia is a barren land. In all of of the Arabian Coast there is only one area that fits Nephi’s description of the Land Bountiful.

It is in the country of Oman. Most scholars believe this area to be the Land Bountiful. It is located in Salalah, Oman and we will be visiting this area! If you would like to see more on this go to Google and type in: video on Salalah and the Book of Mormon. It will bring up a video you can watch regarding the Land Bountiful.

Camels in the highlands of Salalah, Dhofar, Oman

Nakhal Fort - Muscat, Oman

There are two main places we will visit in the country of Oman. Muscat, which is the capital of the Country and Salalah located at the bottom of Oman. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are new and modern. Muscat is home to both modern and ancient and has some of the best ancient sites in the area. You will love the old city and its old market.

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

Dubai & Abu-Dhabi World’s Tallest Building Dubai and Abu Dhabi are both major cities, but are also different federations of the United Arab Emirates. We will visit both of them.

Everyone has heard of Dubai, the “City of Gold”. It is famous for doing everything to the extreme! For example: It has the world’s Tallest Building, which we will visit the observation floor near the top and we will also visit a mall that has a snow ski resort with two chairlifts inside of the mall. Your trip includes driving the Arabian Desert Sand Dunes in a luxurious fourwheel drive vehicle. Ninety percent of those living in Dubai are from other countries. They just live and work in Dubai. You’re going to love Dubai, which is home to the #1 most luxurious airline in the world - Emirates Air. The Dubai Airport is the third busiest airport in the world, but you do not feel it.

Abu Dhabi is only a two-hour drive from Dubai. TripAdvisor has millions of passengers vote each year on travel. Under the category of 2016 Travelers’ Choice on TripAdvisor “Landmarks”, Abu Dhabi has the #1 recommended site in all of the Middle East, rated even higher than Petra. This site is also rated as the #2 “Landmarks” site in the world, above places like Angkor Wat, the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall. It is the Sheikh Zayed “Grand” Mosque.

The architecture both inside and out is absolutely stunning!!! We will also visit the Emirates Palace which is #7 on TripAdvisors 2016 Travelers’ Choice “Landmarks” of the Middle East recommended list of places to see. When built in 2005 it was the most expensive hotel ever built in the world at well over 3 Billion Dollars. Another great highlight in Abu Dhabi will be your luxury 5-star Shangri La Beach Resort stay. We have scheduled a free afternoon and evening to enjoy the beach, the pools, along with time to enjoy a boat ride on the “Venice” like canals that wind through the property.

Ultimate Holy Lands

sunset on the Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount in Jerusalem

Here is a partial list of what you will see and experience in Israel: We see 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, top of Temple Mount, Palace of Caiaphas and so much more! We also visit places others miss or are not allowed to visit in the Holy Lands. Some tours even leave off Bethlehem and almost everyone leaves off Jordan!

One of the sites in the Holy Land that only we are able to visit, is 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”. We do not know if this is our Lehi, but we do know this will be a huge highlight as you visit an active archaeological dig. The excavations are on an army base.

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.

Royal Caribbean’s “Adventure of the Seas” in St Lucia

You will cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas. This is a dazzling Radiance-class ship, combines sleek swiftness, panoramic vistas, and wide-open spaces for the ultimate cruise getaway. In 2016 the Jewel of the Seas just recently went through a complete bow-to-stern renovation that will give guests new staterooms and upgrades and more.

This great cruise departs from San Juan, Puerto Rico located in the middle of the Caribbean. It visits 5 different islands – 6 when you count in San Juan. You get so much more for your money. When you cruise out of the U.S. to the Caribbean you lose 3 to 4 days at sea just to get in and out of the Caribbean. When you start in San Juan you are already in the Caribbean. It costs a little more to fly to San Juan but you experience two cruises in one with 6 islands. We have even taken this amazing trip to the next level by adding 2 nights in a beachfront hotel in San Juan (1 night before and 1 night after your cruise).

Iguazu Falls

A few things you should understand:

• Read Michael’s statement on pg. 29 – it will be the most spectacular trip you will ever take! Take the best cruise, times it by ten and you may come close to how phenomenal this cruise is!

• It really isn’t freezing!!! The climate is dry and sunny with temperatures around 40 degrees 24 hours a day during the Antarctic portion.

• Cruising the Antarctic is not done from miles away! You are able to get up close to the most beautiful majestic land on earth. It literally can take your breath away!

• Your cruise includes more than the Antarctic. It includes the Falkland Islands, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay with many ports of call. It also includes the Chilean Fjords, Cape Horn, Terra del Fuego, Strait of Magellan, Beagle Channel, Drake Passage, Penguins, seals, whales and so much more!

• You can add an optional extension to Iguazu Falls, the BEST falls in the world.

Optional Extension to Iguazu Falls

There is not space to adequately explain the majesty and beauty of Iguazu Falls. Simply put – IT IS THE #1 FALLS IN THE WORLD! When Eleanor Roosevelt first saw the falls, her reaction was “Poor Niagara”. When our passengers travelled to this part of the world they were so impressed with Iguazu Falls, they believed it was the single best touring day anywhere in the world. Then they cruised through the Antarctic changing their minds, stating that Antarctica were the best days! Then sailing through the Chilean Fjords, was icing on the cake. They come away saying “this was the best trip anywhere in the world!” This is exactly what will happen to you if you come join us on our 2018 Antarctic Cruise and Tour!

They offer two classes of service on the train. Both services are great!!!

The SilverLeaf Service Car (Business Class) has one single level: It has gigantic windows and business class seating but does not have an all glass domed roof. Your 5-star restaurant meals will be served at your seat. You do not have a vestibule where you can go outside.

Those traveling in SilverLeaf Service stay in 3 & 4 Star Hotels. We reserved a full train car of SilverLeaf Service.

The GoldLeaf Service Car (First Class) has two levels: The bottom level holds a 5-star

restaurant where guests in GoldLeaf Service will eat their breakfasts and lunches on the two travel days. It also has an outside vestibule where you can go outside (look at the end of the last car in the picture above, you can see the vestibule). The upper level, in the first class seating area, has a completely domed glass roof. See picture on following pages. Those traveling in GoldLeaf Service stay in 5-star luxury hotels throughout the tour. We have booked a full train car of GoldLeaf Service.

Very Important Information: We simply wanted everyone including the SilverLeaf passengers to stay with our GoldLeaf

passengers in the 5-star Luxury Hotels. It took some doing, but we finally made it happen. The only difference between Gold and Silver is the class of service traveling from Vancouver to Banff. At the end of the two days on the train, both groups will join together.

The SilverLeaf group has been upgraded to the same hotels where the GoldLeaf group is staying.

MAJESTIC CANADIAN ROCKIES 14 day Train Tour - June 3, 2018 with Dr. Michael Wilcox

The Majestic Canadian Rockies by Train Voted 7 years in a row “The BEST Train Trip in the World”

After arranging the BEST train, we had to arrange getting all of the hotels to be the same for both Silver and Gold. They needed to all be in the GoldLeaf 5-star Luxury Hotels. The train was the easy part. Getting both groups into the Four Seasons in Vancouver, the Oak Bay Beach Resort in Victoria AND the famous Fairmont Hotels in Banff and Lake Louise was the hard part.

Take a look at some of the hotels you will be staying in:

• The World Famous – 5 star Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Located in the heart of Banff National Park. The Banff Springs Hotel stands as a landmark in the picturesque alpine town of Banff, Canada’s “Castle” in the Rockies. It has been providing legendary hospitality to guests for more than 125 years. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• The World Famous – 5 star Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Hotel. It is surrounded by soaring mountain peaks, the majestic Victoria Glacier and a glistening emerald lake. It was built over 100 years ago and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• The World Famous – 5 star Fairmont Chateau Whistler Hotel. Nestled at the base of Blackcomb Mountain is Whistler’s landmark hotel and golf. Combining classic elegance and a modern alpine setting.

• The 5 star Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver. The Four Seasons hotel chain is one of the top hotel chains in the world. The Four Seasons Hotel’s exceeds the standards used to rate 5-star luxury hotels.

• The 5 star Oak Bay Beach Resort Victoria, B.C. on Vancouver Island. Winner of several “Travelers Choice Awards” for 2015 - Luxury Hotels in Canada #4 - Top Hotels in Canada #9 – Romantic Hotels in Canada #20 - every bedroom has a fireplace!

This is your one chance to stay in the lap of luxury. This fantastic tour includes hotels that are next to impossible to get in to. We have great pricing for the Fairmont and Four Seasons hotels. To understand the value here are a couple of comparisons.

• Fairmont Banff Springs with a dinner and two breakfasts and tax like we have have included in our package – the same dates in June in 2017 would easily cost over $800 PER NIGHT and you have two nights in our package.

• Fairmont Lake Louise with a dinner and breakfast and tax we have included in our package would be over $1,000 PER NIGHT! It really is a fantastic package at an inexpensive price when you consider all that you get in the package! You owe it to yourself to live like Royalty once in your life. Don’t pass up this chance!

The train does not include any meals at the hotels in Vancouver, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Whistler. The most expensive meals are those at the Luxury 5 Star Fairmont Hotels. You can buy meals from the train in advance for the Banff & Lake Louise Hotels. Breakfasts run about $40 per person, Dinners are a little over $100 per person. We were able to work out a deal that included some of those meals in your package. We felt it would be a fun experience to eat in the Banff Fairmont Castle and the beautiful Lake Louise Fairmont. The meals on the Train and at the Fairmont hotels INCLUDE Tax and Tip! Below are the meals that have been included in your package: • Vancouver Four Seasons: Breakfast will be on the train.

• Train to Kamloops: Lunch is included on the train.

• Kamloops: Breakfast will be on the train.

• Lake Louise Fairmont: Dinner is included: Value – over $100 per person.

• Lake Louise Fairmont: Breakfast is included: Value – over $40 per person.

• Banff Fairmont: ONE dinner is included: Value – over $90 per person.

• Banff Fairmont: Two Breakfasts are included: Value – over $70 per person.

• Quesnell: Two Breakfasts are included.

• Victoria Oak Bay Beach Resort: Two Breakfasts are included.

All other meals are not included. With the exchange of the dollar compared to the Canadian dollar and with many inexpensive places near by the hotels to eat, your other meals will often be less than you spend at home eating out. It’s just the Fairmont Hotels that are on another planet.

Barkerville Gold Rush Town British Columbia's best known ghost town.

The BIG differences between the Train’s Program and Our Program: • We have additional days, additional hotel nights, Vancouver Island, additional touring, two ferry rides, Fun For Less Tours Staff, Guest Educator Dr. S. Michael Wilcox and so much more. Vancouver Island and two ferry rides, along with Barkerville Gold Mine Town that is not included on the Rocky Mountaineer Train program.

• We are less money for a lot more! How were we able to arrange everything for less money and add so many extras? We paid a huge amount up front (that is non-refundable) to lock in our prices now for 2018 AND we agreed to buy full rail cars!

No one else would be this crazy, then again, no one else has our pricing! We have a limit to the number of seats we can sell.

This is one special train trip you do not want to miss! We really do have the best itinerary and tour at the BEST Price!

We really do have the best itinerary and tour for LESS!

82

“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.

HOLY LAND TOURS

Kidron Valley - Israel

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

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.

2nd BEST TOUR IN THE WORLD!

THAILAND & ANGKOR WAT w/ Burma 15 day tour - January 19, 2018 with Glenn Rawson

Bagan Temples of Burma

Here is why we consider this tour the Best Tour in the World!

You will love every day of this tour, PLUS it has the most highlight days of any tour we offer anywhere in the world. If you rated each day on a scale of 1-10 there can be many 5, 6 & 7s but there are very few 10s or 10+ days. For example, you may love every day on a tour of Peru and Machu Picchu, but two of the days will stand above everything else. The day you explored Machu Picchu and the day you visited the Uros Tribe on Lake Titicaca. They are a 10 or what we call “highlight days”. A Machu Picchu Tour has two “highlight days”. Until now China with 5 highlight days held the most. With this special designed tour you end up with 6 fantastic highlight days, the most of any tour or cruise we offer anywhere in the world.

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

There are two fantastic highlight days in Cambodia, Angkor Wat & Tonli Sap Lake. Angkor Wat has some of the best ruins in the world and are unrivaled both in beauty and state of preservation! Its mightiness and magnificence displays a pomp and luxury surpassing that of a Pharaoh, an impressiveness greater than that of the Pyramids, and artistic distinctiveness as fine as that of the Taj Mahal! Movies like Tomb Raiders have been filmed here. Tonli Sap Lake will amaze you with the villages and houses built on stilts, along with the floating villages and houses that float on the lake.

In Thailand:

Thailand is Siam, home to the films the King & I and Anna & the King. You will have one fantastic highlight day in Chiang Mai, Thailand - One of our passengers this year said, “this has been the best 24 hours in my life” after his day in the Chiang Mai area. The day included holding and feeding baby tigers, petting large tigers, witnessing the best elephant show in the world, and riding elephants over the mountain to visit the Long Neck Tribe. As seen in National Geographic, the women stretch their necks by putting metal rings around them. Your second highlight day in Thailand will be the visit to the beautiful King’s Palace and temples.

In Myanmar (Burma):

There are Two fantastic highlight days in Burma: Bagan ruins and Inle Lake. Bagan is probably one of the most amazing sights we have ever seen. Within a few square miles are the ruins of over 2,500 temples and pagodas.

Inle Lake is beautiful and unique. It is filled with floating villages, floating gardens, floating temples and so much more.

This is a 10+ in sites to visit in the world. We also tour Rangoon before leaving Burma.

CHINA YANGTZE

with optional Bali extension 16 day tour/cruise - April 18, 2018 with Glenn Rawson

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!!!

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!

2018 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 four days earlier than the regular tour. It has everything offered in the regular tour, just in a different order, PLUS the 3 day extension to Zhangjiajie that includes 2 full days of touring.

INDIA

with Kathmandu & Mt. Everest 15 day tour - October 19, 2017 with Wendy Bird

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!

About Our NEW Educator: Wendy Bird

Wendy Bird is the founder of Pearls with Purpose Foundation, a social-impact organization. This unique training organization blends micro-enterprising with humanitarian assistance. Since 2002, Wendy has inspired and motivated people all over the world by sharing her passion for “teaching women to fish” rather than “giving them a fish.” A certified gemologist, Wendy leads women toward self-sustainment with jewelrymaking and micro-business skills. These women utilize the training to create products and sell them in developed countries.

After beginning her work in Philippines in 2002, Wendy opened another co-op in Ban Nam Kem, Thailand in 2006. Partnering with Rising Star Outreach she then opened a co-op in Barathapurham, India in 2010, and another one in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2013. This worldwide outreach program has assisted hundreds women in creating selfsustainability for themselves and their families.

5 - S t a r Lu x u r y !

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!!!!

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 Thanksgiving’s 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 starting Thanksgiving weekend.

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.

SHAKESPEARE 2017 4-day trip - August 7, 2017 with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox 4-day trip - August 10, 2017 with Dr. S. Michael Wilcox

6 Fantastic Plays & Musicals 2016 is going to rank as one of the BEST years ever! Everyone, even if you question your love of Shakespeare, will absolutely love this festival. It has 3 Shakespeare plays and 3 other musicals, comedies or Broadway type plays.

Michael helps all of us understand each Shakespeare play by explaining the story and the characters before we go to each Shakespeare play. Knowing the story will make Shakespeare more enjoyable for everyone.

Each day you will enjoy 2 wonderful plays. Look at the fantastic line up of plays for 2017:

THE ENGELSTAD SHAKESPEARE THEATRE

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and the theatrical adaptation of the Academy Award-winning movie Shakespeare in Love, will anchor the Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre. Shakespeare in Love is about young William Shakespeare, who, out of ideas and short of cash, meets his ideal woman and is inspired to write one of his most famous plays, Romeo and Juliet.

Rounding out the Engelstad Theatre will be the Shakespeare comedy As You Like It. This rollicking frolic of confused courtship between Rosalind and Orlando features beautiful poetry and unsurpassed wit. It was last produced at the Festival in 2009.

Those who have been following the Festival’s History Cycle (all ten of Shakespeare’s history plays produced in chronological order) may notice that there is no history play in the 2017 season. The Festival will continue the cycle in 2018, using the coming year to develop a production approach for the Henry VI plays which will tell the story of the War of the Roses and the Tudor dynasty in all its artistry and majesty.

THE RANDALL L. JONES THEATRE

First will be the classical musical Guys and Dolls, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling. Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls ran for over 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. Winner of many Tony Awards and numerous other theatre prizes, it has been frequently revived and has proven to be perennially popular. Featuring such memorable songs as “A Bushel and a Peck” and “Luck Be a Lady,” this oddball romantic comedy will find a comfortable home at the Festival.

Next will be the Mountain West premiere of Mary Zimmerman’s glorious adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel Treasure Island. This critically-acclaimed adaptation premiered in a joint production by Lookingglass Theatre in Chicago and Berkeley Rep in Berkeley, California. The Festival is the first theatre beyond them to receive rights to this play. This epic tale based on classic literature will thrill the entire family with tales of buried treasure, cutthroat pirates, the larger-than-life Long John Silver, and the courageous young cabin boy Jim Hawkins. A play with music,Treasure Island is dramatic story-telling at its theatrical best.

Possibly Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream will also appear in the Randall Theatre. This story of fairies, dreams, and moonlight tells the tale of love which never does run smooth, of feuding fairy kings and queens, and of young lovers caught up in the world between waking and dreaming. Perhaps Shakespeare’s most accessible comedy, the entire family will enjoy the antics of Puck, Titania, and Nick Bottom and his hilarious band of rustics.

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

New!

Our BEST Seating Ever Before seating is open to the public to purchase, it is first offered to those that contribute money or time to the Shakespeare Festival. Fun For Less Tours does not fall into this group. After receiving our seat assignments for this year (2015) we expressed our disappointment in the seats that were assigned to us. All of our seats were in the back half of the Orchestra section. We did not have any seats in the front half. We understand why the large donors and those involved in the plays should get first choice. We just wanted to be included in those getting first choice. We told the Festival we needed to be included in the first group for the following reasons: • This is more of a service then a profit center for us. By the time we pay for the hotels, the show tickets, three meals a day, thousands of dollars to rent our meeting space at the Festival, all tipping, money paid to actors for the private seminar, along with the cost of sending many staff members with all of their costs and the costs of Dr. Michael Wilcox – we make very little money. The winner in all of this are our customers AND the Shakespeare Festival.

• We asked the Festival to look at the many years of our buying around 2000 show tickets each year, which is 10 times more than other groups have purchased. We felt they needed to consider the large number of tickets we buy each year as our donation to the Shakespeare Festival.

• If we could not get better seating we would likely stop coming.

Our petition did not fall on deaf ears! This year all of our seats were in the Orchestra, but in the back sections. The Festival has re-evaluated our position for next year. We already have our seats assigned and know exactly what we have to offer and believe us, they are GREAT! We ended up with 3 packages for next year.

• Our Gold Package: Four of the plays are in Rows 1, 2, 3 or 4. The other two plays are in great Orchestra seating. NOTE: The Gold Package has already sold out.

• Silver Package: Three of the plays are in Rows 1, 2, 3, or 4. The other three plays will be in good Orchestra seating. We still have space in our Silver Package.

• Bronze Package: One of the plays will be in Rows 1, 2, 3 or 4. The rest of the seats are not bad, they are basically what we had this year. The Bronze Package will not go on sale until after we sell out our Silver Package.

Approximately 40% of our seats are in the Gold Package, which has sold out. We also have about 40% of our seats in the Silver package and 20% of our seats are part of the Bronze Package. Not much difference between the Gold and Silver packages. The Silver Package will also sell out, so don’t wait!!

Silver Package Price

Our Silver Package Price includes everything: hotels, all taxes, breakfasts, lunch and quality dinners, show tickets for 6 plays (3 of your plays in rows 1-4), all tipping, private actors seminar, private meeting with founder of the Shakespeare Festival, Fred Adams, Fun For Less Tours Staff, Shakespeare Festival programs, back stage tours, costumes seminar, special meal at Rusty’s Ranch House, and special guest educator - Dr. S. Michael Wilcox.

Aug 7th Silver Package Price: $879* Aug 10th Silver Package Price: $904* *Per person cash discount price, based on double occupancy. Abbey Inn accomodations or similar, does not include transportation.
