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.
Questions: contact Ken at kenestahl@gmail.com or (360) 437-2037.

It's not too early to start planning to join Region 8 members and other Roadtrekers on "The Last Great Road Trip". This “loosey
goosey” trip will take us to “The Last Frontier”, touring Canada and Alaska for a two month event. Purchase your “Milepost” now and
plan your trip. Along the way, you can plan on meeting other Roadtrek travelers at various checkpoints. We will gather at Mile Post Zero, in
Dawson Creek, British Columbia in late May 2011 and continue at our own pace. We’ll meet periodically at different locations such as Tok, Kenai, Anchorage, Denali, Fairbanks, Homer, and finally Prince Rupert. Consider making this "trip of a lifetime" knowing that you can choose to travel in the
company of other Roadtrekkers or just meet up with other Roadtreks at certain points. While en route, you may come across a familiar
Roadtrek van parked alongside a lake and marked with a flag or scarf inviting others to stop by. If the need arises knowing there are other travelers you know who could render help provides peace of mind. This trip will be leisurely and starting in late May has many benefits.

This Thanksgiving consider sharing it with your Roadtrek family. We’ve discovered a unique RV Park that stages a free sit-down Thanksgiving dinner as part of a 3-day stay over that holiday weekend. It is the 5-star Zion River Resort, RV Park, and Campground www.zionriverresort.com located in Virgin, Utah just outside the Zion National Park where Region 8’s caravan terminates on November 24th, the day before Thanksgiving.

To register and participate, go to www.zionriverresort.com and familiarize yourself with the facility and the special event of Thanksgiving Dinner on November 25, 2010. If you have questions, the two women who are helping us stage this three-day rally are Donna and Mason.
They can be reached at (888) 822-8594 or emailed at zionrv@zrr.com . Go to their web page and complete the “Reservation by Credit Card” link.
In the section “Preference RV Space” mark “Back in Standard”. Then in the section “Questions and Comments” indicate you are with the Roadtrek Group. Finally, so further activities can be arranged, email us that you’ve registered and how many persons are in your party. We are getting a special rate from their listed $45/night. Ours is $38.25 or for the three nights $114.75
Happy Turkey Day!
