A (blue &) golden opportunity

     Have you ever wanted to travel to England and Wales, the Hudson
River Valley, Nova Scotia, or Eastern Europe? Now is your chance. The
Alumni Association is sponsoring four new Alumni Association tours.
     Participants of the England tour will be able to fly to London to
attend the Chelsea Flower Show, one of the country's major annual
events. Colorful exhibits include flowers of all seasons, theme
gardens, garden furniture and tools. Included are visits to Leeds
Castle, the city of Bath, the Lake District, the delightful Plas
Newydd in Wales and much more. A professional 4 Seasons Tours lecturer
and guide will accompany the tour.
     Also scheduled is an excursion to the Hudson River Valley of New
York, including a visit to Kykuit, the newly restored home of the
Rockefeller family. The tour will also visit three additional famous
mansions, Philipsburg Manor, Sunnyside and Lundhurst.
     There also are services of a professional tour manager from
Footloose Tours, Inc.
     A trip to the best of Canada's Maritime Provinces includes
Campobello Island, Cape Brenton Highlands National Park, Peggy's Cove
and the Evangeline Trail, as well as a day cruise aboard the Scotia
Prince.
     A trip to Eastern Europe will allow participants to discover what
was hidden behind the Iron Curtain for nearly half a century.
Budapest, Krakow and Prague have emerged as cultural European
capitals.
     A multi-lingual lecturer will guide travelers throughout this
leisurely 11-day tour.
