My husband, Jim, and I took the trip of a lifetime in August ’05. It was both an experience and an education.
I visited several countries in the Arabian Peninsula, including the United Arab Emirates, in early December ’05.
We took a trip to Libya with Distant Horizons (Long Beach, CA; 800/333-1240), an ITN advertiser. We were quite fortunate to have received visas, which arrived at almost the last minute. Other tours had to be canceled because the Libyans had not issued visas for those groups.

Kruger National Park in South Africa is a premier game park with thousands of animals living in the wild. It’s the size of our state of Massachusetts. Kruger is one of our very favorite places in the world. We have been there six times, most recently in September ’04.
For the past three years, we have explored the REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA during its so-called “secret season” of October. We have been awed by most all of the country’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites and even more impressed by the spirit and graciousness of the South African people.
