for FL residents 65 or older or disabled and $21 a night, plus applicable

THE NEXT ROADTREK CRUISE
by Bill Creager
Region 5 is excited to announce another fine
cruise that has become a tradition for our Roadtrek family and friends.
Based
on our post survey from the last cruise, we are complying with our
past cruisers’ comments to up grade our Cruise Line, provide
the
open dining option, visit new ports of calls, improve the quality
of our cruising experience and to do it all, at a great group rate.
You will spend seven days aboard the Holland America ms Nieuw Amsterdam
(new to the Holland line in 2010) departing
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on Sunday, March 20, 2011 with ports of
call at Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Island; San Juan
Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten and Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.
We will return to Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, March 27.
Anybody that knows cruising knows the quality of Holland America.
Isn’t 2011 a long way off? Maybe a little, but to get our
fabulous Roadtrek discount, we needed to commit a little earlier
than normal. Actually, the rates for this ship have already increased
since we arranged this cruise, but Holland America has agreed to
meet their commitment to us. Our rate is an unbelievable $774.00
per person for inside cabin, $874.00 per person for an ocean view
and $1073.00 per person for a balcony. Other cabin categories are
available if desired. These prices include the government fees and
taxes, so there is no additional fees to add to the fares. (Tips,
insurance
and adult beverages are additional expenses.)
More good news! A $175 per person deposit will hold your cabin and
your final payment is not due until January 1, 2011. Any
deposits or fares paid prior to December 19, 2010, can be completely
refunded (minus $25.00) if it becomes necessary to cancel
your cruise. A no hassle refund policy — how refreshing is
that? Consider what you could spend for the same amenities in hotels,
fine restaurants, night clubs or at Broadway type shows. Someone
else does the driving. You would be hard pressed to find a bargain
better than a cruise vacation. When should you book? As soon as
possible. Unlike previous cruises, we have only been able to set
aside
50 cabins for the Roadtrek group. That doesn’t mean that when
they are gone there will not be more available, but we can not promise
that there will be.
To book the cruise please contact Carol Ann at New Horizons Travel
Inc. (800) 949-1120 ( carolann@travelnht.com ).
The 800 number should be okay for our Canadian Cruisers. Make sure
you tell Carol Ann that you are booking the Roadtrek Cruise, if
you want
the open dinner seating, and/or if you want to have dinner with
a particular person/s. Our group normally prefers the early seating
for
those that prefer scheduled seating. As always, family and friends
of Roadtrekers are welcome to join us at this event.
In the past, about half of our group were not Roadtrek owners. Possibly
we can convert them.
Your hosts for this cruise will be Edna and Bill Creager. Please
contact us with your questions wscreager@gmail.com or (386) 437-9380.

YOUR BAVARIAN GETAWAY
Leavenworth, WA
by Ken & Judy Stahl
Leavenworth is an inspiring story of a small
Washington town that reinvented itself and today, about 50 years
later is a
charming Bavarian Village nestled beside the winding Wenatchee River
with the rugged 8000 foot high Cascade Mountains providing
a breathtaking background. The Village has a distinctive European
appeal (www.leavenworth.org)
and provides the opportunity for
many entertainment, adventure and recreational activities.
Your Bavarian Getaway, August 6 – 10, will start on Friday,
upon arriving at the Icicle River RV Resort (www.icicleriverrv.com/).
That evening, a discussion of the getaway’s planned events
and cocktails will be followed by a Bavarian theme potluck. So,
it is
time to start planning on what wonderful entrée you will
bring to share. After dinner we will be transported by bus to the
Leavenworth Summer
Theater where the sun falls behind the ridge, the moon rises
over the valley, and Maria descends the hillside
singing “The Hills are Alive.” We will enjoy a signature
Leavenworth experience “The Sound of Music.” a Bavarian
classic.
On Saturday, the day will begin with a light breakfast, then we’ll
travel to downtown Leavenworth by bus to explore and shop.
Our next event will be at Kestrel
Vintners for a taste of wine and to learn about their “The
Lady in Red.” It should then be about time
for lunch at King Ludwig’s (www.kingludwigs.com)
to indulge in a family style platter, which will include Schweinshax’n,
Schnitzel and
several other German favorites. After a busy day, it will be time
for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and stories to share.
Sunday, August 8, will again begin with a light breakfast with wonderful
pastries by Homefires Bakery. Now ready to explore
again, we are on our way to the Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort (www.sleepinglady.com)
where “The music of her rivers, the
fragrance of her trees and the mystery of her rocks, combine to
welcome visitors and restore the human spirit.” Here we will
learn
about the history of Sleeping Lady, enjoy a delicious buffet-style
lunch and then a guided walking tour of artwork, music center and
nature. There is still time to explore, so the next adventure is
the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery for a guided tour. In the
visitor’s
center there is a wonderful painted mural that depicts the spring
Chinook salmon through its challenging life cycle. Here we
will learn about the integral role this hatchery plays in the Icicle
Creek salmon run as they annually release 1.6 million smolts. After
another very busy day it will again be time for cocktails, hors
d’oeuvres and more stories to share.
Our last full day, Monday, will include another light breakfast,
but enough to get us ready for a couple of hours of Boot Camp.
Here we will learn about our Roadtreks and to share the many “how
to do it.” The remainder of the day will be self guided
tours of Icicle Valley and the Cascade Mountains. Our last night’s
dinner will be brats, kraut, and beans; we will then gather around
a
campfire with s’mores for dessert.
On August 10, it will be time to load up our Roadtreks and journey
to FMCA/Roadtrek International Chapter Rally in
Redmond, OR on August 11.
