Are there advantages to traveling with a group over going it 

alone? The answer is a resounding yes! Consider these benefits 

(offered by ITMI): 

1. Everything is taken care of for you - all reservations are 

made for you, no hassles with driving, getting lost, or 

wondering what to do today. It’s handled. 

2. Make new lifelong friends - you’ll meet new people with 

similar interests, and a few may just become lifelong friends. 

3. You’ll do more - many people comment that they saw and 

did more with their group. Pre-planning helps you maximize 

your time and enjoy more. 

4. You’ll get a great value - lodging, meals, attractions and 

more are at group rates and these are lower than for 

individuals. Plus, you’ll get extra’s like local, expert step on 

guides to enhance your experience. 

5. You’ll enjoy the security of a group. We tend to look out for 

one another when we travel together. Your tour guide will let 

you know about safe area’s and otherwise. 

Traveling together is just fun! You’ll see great sights, enjoy 

delicious food, not worry about driving and get to know some 

good friends along the way. Give us a call and let’s go! 

Hope to see you on the road in 2017, 

Dave Busskohl 

President

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS CRUISE 

Say “aloha” to a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. Hawaii is a magnificent meld of 

sky-high waves, ancient kingdoms, World War II history and beauty of volcanic 

proportions. We fly to Honolulu for night on Waikiki Beach prior to boarding 

the Pride of America for a seven night cruise. The Pride of America will welcome 

you aboard with a casual “island” vibe that reflects the laid back Hawaiian 

culture. During the cruise we visit Maui, Kauai, and two ports on the Big Island 

of Hawaii. Being in a port each day means you’ll have plenty of time to hike 

up a waterfall, take a helicopter ride over an active volcano, take a scenic 

tour on the Road to Hana, or brush up on your hula at an authentic luau. Upon 

our return to Honolulu after our week of cruising, we will enjoy a Honolulu 

Highlights Tour including a visit to Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Arizona. This 

popular trip can fill quickly! Call for a brochure with all the details – will be 

available this Spring.

THE PANAMA CANAL ADVENTURE 

The Panama Canal is one of history’s greatest engineering marvels. Enjoy 

a warm, winter vacation sailing in the Caribbean and spending a full day 

on a partial transit of the Panama Canal. We’ll enter on the east side thru 

Gatun Locks, continue into Gatun Lake, before turning around for a stop 

at Colon, Panama. While in Gatun Lake, you will have the option of an 

excursion that continues on thru the canal to the Pacific Coast, thus seeing 

all of the Panama Canal! It is amazing to see this wonder up close and to 

imagine the historic feat that was accomplished in 1914. In addition to our 

day in the Panama Canal, we will visit Princess Cays, Bahamas; Cartagena, 

Columbia; Limon, Costa Rica; and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. This 

has been a fun and popular trip to get away from the winter blues! Call for 

a brochure with all the details – will be available this Spring.
