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 />

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 />

Over the past 40+ years, the Brownville Village Theater and the Spirit of Brownville Riverboat Cruise have gained<br />
a reputation for providing excellent entertainment. Your Allied tour will include a 90-minute riverboat cruise<br />
with delicious buffet lunch. The show at the Village Theater will be “THE TELL-TALE FARCE.” A wealthy dowager<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 />
