2012 (click on tour titles for detailed brochure)

Feb 10/26 - TRAVEL'S ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT - EXPERIENCING ALL 7 CONTINENTS: This Antarctica & South America special itinerary includes two different continents and will either allow you to achieve travel's "ultimate" achievement - or put you well on the road of accomplishment. Very limited availability.

Apr 15/21 - SOUTHERN GRACE & CHARMS: The very best of our genteel south. To maximize time and to save money you will fly to and from the area. Roundtrip airfare is already included in the price shown on the brochure. Never any hidden charges or surprises when you "go away" with Please Go Away™ Vacations.

Apr 19/29 - DELUXE 3-ISLAND HAWAII: Thrill to the islands of Oahu, Maui and Kaui and enjoy spectacular included bonuses that make your island experience much more than you ever expect.

Apr 22/May 1 - PARIS TO NORMANDY'S LANDING BEACHES (SEINE RIVER CRUISE): You will experience France in the best way possible. Combine time in France's splendid capital (Paris) with discoveries of quaint villages along the Seine and in the picturesque Normandy region the Normand landing beaches. With practically everything included, quality river cruises like this are one, if not the best, travel value available.

Apr 25/May 1 - CALIFORNIA CLASSIC: Experience Yosemite National Park with waterfalls at their peak, Sacramento, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley and much more on this exceptional travel outing. Unpack only once - be privately chauffeured on daily outings.

May 27 - Jun 4 - IDYLLIC ICELAND: A "repeat" of one of the most well-received travel experiences of recent years. It's a touch of Europe without traveling nearly as far, and the sightseeing that combines "fire and ice" is spectacular. Iceland is a destination with mild temperatures (coldest temperature ever recorded was 1 degree above zero). Experiencing it will set you apart for having attained one of travel's ultimate achievements.

Jul 23/Aug 4 - ALASKA ADVENTURE: Our 39th year of hosting specially arranged group experiences in our 49th State. In our opinion, which is shared by the multitudes who have enjoyed over the years, this combination of the interior of Alaska and its dramatic "Inside Passage" absolutely provides the most and best value & quality available. Bonus day added in Anchorage with included Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center experience.

Aug 8/12 - DELUXE NEW YORK CITY & THEATRE: Experience the rekindled "Big Apple" in all its glory - from 'ground zero," to the best hotels, to the best restaurants, to the best sightseeing experiences, to the best theatre performances - they are all included in the one price you pay (no hidden or surprise charges).

Aug 17/19 - COOL COLORADO ROCKIES: Enjoy the cool Rocky Mountain air of Colorado Springs, the Air Force Academy, Cripple Creek, Flying W Ranch, Olympic Training Center, the world's longest tram ride to the top of Pike's Peak, Manitou Springs, and more.

Oct 5/13 - NEW ENGLAND & CANADA FALL CRUISE: Experience "The Big Apple" with a pre-cruise night in central New York City, and enjoy included dining near Times Square. Then experience Autumn in New England and Canada as your luxury floating cruise ship take you to the areas' most exciting ports of call.

Oct 13/20 - LEAVES, LIGHTHOUSES & LOBSTERS: The "granddaddy" of all New England fall foliage tours. Always personally hosted by "both" Marilyn and Larry Kopke, the departure is repeated annually and always sells out quickly. Some travelers have "gone away" on this same tour 3 different times.

Nov 11/19 - AWESOME AMERICAN ADVENTURE - MISSISSIPPI RIVER CRUISE: Overnight steamboat river cruising is returning to North America. We are going to be among the first to take a special select group on the completely refurbished "Grand American Queen" as she cruises from St. Louis to New Orleans, with major stops along the way. Our special group will experience the best of river cruising and southern hopitality, complete with fall foliages and antebellum mansions. Special note: we've been able to secure "included" sightseeing excursions for early reservations. Spaces are limited - demand is great.
