Indianapolis officially opened the Cultural Trail this spring and as downtown residents, we are both every excited about it. Finally, it will be legal for us to ride our bikes on the sidewalks! This incredible trail totals more than 8 miles of the city and ties 5 cultural districts together, presenting historical features and displays of unique art to those who bike or hike this beautifully landscaped pathway. This inspiring addition to our city reminds us of the reasons so many of us love to travel and experience new surroundings. Making the grand vision of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail a reality takes an enormous commit-

ment from dedicated, talented individuals. And, actually we can say the same for the members of our Sunrise team who work hard to maximize the enjoyment of every tour we present. Who doesn’t love the excitement of looking forward to a new trip, learning about other lifestyles and experiencing history, theater, music and, of course tasty food at out-of-the-way places?! Please consider joining us for interesting adventures and new friendships as we travel across Indiana, the rest of the United States, and around the world!

Trip Insurance For 2 main reasons we highly recommend the purchase of trip insurance and can provide information on Berkley Insurance: 1) Trip interruption – There are circumstances that can prevent passengers from fully participating in a tour and may require an early departure or extended stay. For example, if a passenger suffers an injury that prevents the traveler from continuing on the tour, insurance will cover the cost of the extended stay, the cost of transportation home and the value of the missed tour (subject to claim submission and acceptance by Berkley Insurance). If you do not have insurance, you will personally incur these costs and it can be very expensive. 2) Trip cancellation - If you are forced to cancel a tour for medical reasons (for you or an immediate family member), having insurance ensures a complete refund of monies paid (except for the cost of insurance).

Sunrise cannot guarantee this because there are times when monies are paid on your behalf prior to departure.
