ADULT CREDIT FREE COURSES No adult credit-free classes on: October 10 – 12 (Thanksgiving weekend) November 11 (Remembrance Day) February 13 – 15 (Family Day weekend) March 25 – 28 (Easter weekend) TRAVEL ACAD Travel Programs are designed to delight you with worryfree days saturated in cultural history, in remarkable built environments with gorgeous natural settings. We specialize in off-the-beaten-track destinations that provide that rarest credential – lived experience, close-up with worlds unknown to nearly all Westerners. When you travel with ACAD Continuing Education, the logistics are handled for you so that every day is free to fully enjoy. Our groups are small and the days are organized so that you can choose to remain with the group or to venture on your own. Solo travelers are welcome and the small group makes it easy to develop friendships. We travel with a Canadian expert as well as a local guide, in our own vehicle. What to expect: • We stay in clean, comfortable, and modest accommodations. • In-country transportation is by private van with a dedicated driver. If the distance is long, we may fly between sites. • A medium fitness level is required. You should be able to carry your own bag and be able to walk several kilometers unassisted over the course of a day. • Our Trip Escort is well-versed in the area and we add detail and colour to his knowledge with a local guide. Whenever possible, we will connect you with local artists, experts, and families. • In true expedition tradition, you will need to accept local standards and be flexible. Some delays and changes to the itinerary are likely. GIFT CERTIFICATES!

Invaded, conquered and ruled by a shifting mélange of Persian, Ottoman, Muslim and Christian warriors, Uzbekistan is rich in archeological treasures: palaces, mosques, and mausoleums immortalizing emperors, tyrants, and khans; ancient cities and markets. The sweeping scale of the landscape is a perfect counterpoint to the elaborate detailing of the turquoise mosaics that cover many structures. Join us on our modern day caravan off the beaten track to see the splendor, vastness, and exotic markets of the rich Fergana Valley and the Silk Road cities of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. Based in the capital city of Tashkent, we will explore this Russianinfluenced, modern city then travel by private vehicles with a local guide and our Trip Escort, Architect Gerald Forseth, to ancient sites, jumping on a plane when the distance is great. This Travel Program brings a small group to Uzbekistan when harvest is underway and the local food is diverse, fresh, and plentiful. We will view the historical treasures of each city, visit the studios and workshops of master craftspeople, and explore local markets with their silks, carpets, brasswork and other traditional crafts. Expect to eat well at restaurants and the produce markets, see fabulous structures and scenery, walk ancient streets with people in local dress, and participate in timeless rituals like bargaining in the bazaars. Our local guide will increase your understanding of the sights and activities and fill you in on contemporary life in Uzbekistan. Every day is full with activities and different destinations, which you are free to join or to venture off on your own. View the daily itinerary here.
