Liberating Butterflies<br />

Dear Travel Friend,<br />

The guide asked, “Does anyone want to liberate a butterfly?” I’d never heard of such<br />

a thing, but it piqued my interest.<br />

I was on our recent Panama Canal cruise, and a shore excursion took us into the<br />

Veragua Rainforest in Costa Rica. They do research there, and new butterflies had<br />

morphed and were ready to fly – for the very first time!<br />

The researcher told me to hold out two fingers and gently squeeze the beautiful wings.<br />

Then I walked out of the lab and into the butterfly garden, placed the butterfly on a<br />

green leaf and waited. The butterfly flapped its wings a few times, and then, took<br />

flight. It was liberated, and I was fascinated.<br />

Want to be fascinated yourself? Get out on an Allied Tour and see God’s creation<br />

up close. You’ll see the Rocky Mountains and Grand Canyons, crystal waterways<br />

and roaring waterfalls, wildlife on the move and glorious fall colors, plus many more<br />

adventures.<br />

So come and join us on an Allied Tour adventure. Check out the summer, fall and<br />

Christmas tours on the following pages. Don’t get bored but get out and experience<br />

all of this and more in <strong>2018</strong>. You just might be liberated yourself.<br />

Hope to see you on the road,<br />

Dave Busskohl<br />

in the garage and let us pick you up at home from selected<br />

cities to start your tour. Best of all, it’s FREE! That’s right, we’ll<br />

Personally Selected Hotels<br />

The hotels we use are personally<br />

selected for quality, location, service<br />

and to be quiet. We know that a<br />

key component of any tour is the<br />

accommodations. Almost all the hotels<br />

we use are 3 or 4-diamond rated, so<br />

you can be assured of a great place to<br />

stay every night. By the way, we aren’t<br />

afraid to publish our hotels. You will<br />

find them listed on each tour page of<br />

our tour catalog and our website. Take<br />

a look to the right for just a couple of<br />

the many quality hotels we use on our<br />

tours.<br />

commissions Edgar Allan Poe to write her a poem for the vast sum of one hundred dollars. Only problem: the man<br />

who shows up to write the poem isn’t Poe, he’s Poe’s mailman, and he’s on a quest to woo the dowager’s spinster<br />

niece. Playing Poe is harder than it looks, especially when your mustache keeps falling off, the teenage granddaughter<br />

of the house is lusting after you, and Poe’s arch-nemesis, Rufus Griswold, just happens to be dropping<br />

by to settle old scores. A freewheeling, door-slamming farce with a touch of macabre.<br />

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS CRUISE<br />

9 DAYS<br />

Feb 15-23, 2019<br />

Aboard the NCL’s Pride of America<br />

Say “aloha” to a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. Visit four islands in seven<br />

days, including overnight stays in Maui and Kauai, which means you are<br />

on an island each and every day of your cruise. The Pride of America will<br />

welcome you aboard with a casual “island” vibe that reflects the laid back<br />

Hawaiian culture. Formal night on the Pride of America means a Hawaiian<br />

shirt or sun dress. And NCL’s “freestyle” cruising means there are no fixed<br />

dining times or pre-assigned seating.<br />
