Last Minute Trip?
Costa Rican Explorer Nov 4 – 11, 2006
If white water rafting, horse riding and watching animals in the wild is your idea of a vacation, then Costa Rica is for you!  Just 3 hours from Houston we’ll sit under a hot waterfall soaking in Arenal Volcano’s waters while huge blue morpho butterflies float by. Holding the sloth Buttercup, is a memory you’ll never forget and the hiking to see Scarlet Macaws in the wild is wonderful.  There’s still space for you on this trip!  Call Jane at Choice Travel in Phoenix 480 755-1388 and she’ll arrange your flights. 

Feature Trip

Fiji – New Zealand, Feb 6 – 24, 2007
New Zealand is one of the most beautiful and interesting places to visit as an adventure traveler.  It dishes up almost every geographical feature – volcanoes, glaciers, fjords, alps, geysers, mud pools, rain forests, green hills, plains and miles of stunning coastline.  We immerse ourselves in the splendor with hikes, rafting, sea kayaking, sailing, swimming and horse riding.  Best of all, we meet the wonderful Kiwis – including a rare overnight stay with the Maori people.  Linette Harris (Phoenix, AZ) on our Feb 06 NZ trip said “A trip I will talk about the rest of my life.  Not only is NZ absolutely stunning but having a Kiwi guide made the trip so much more.  Cheryl’s knowledge and love for her native land was palpable.  But NZ’s scenery is only half the story.  The other half is the people who live life in the moment and full of laughter.”

Notes from the Trail

Best of the West – Wow, you’re not kidding. I loved every minute” Anna Ilko, OH.  This is a wonderful trip for those who have a little extra time (10 days) to explore all the magical places of the Southwest.  Anna captured over 1000 images including this snap of us hiking out of the Grand Canyon when high winds grounded our helicopter.  It’s amazing what you can do when you have to!  Sometimes on adventure trips you have to go to Plan B and often they end up being the most memorable moments on a trip – and this hike was no exception.
