Dear Fellow Travelers:

If you have been contemplating a trip to see Russia for some time you have probably noticed that prices keep going up. There are three reasons for this. The first reason that prices in Russia keep rising is because it is such a marvelous place to visit with its palaces, arts, and historical sights. The second is that people from Europe continue to pour in as everyday the veil of secrecy that shrouded Russia for centuries is lifted a little higher and they get to learn more than previous visitors. Finally we keep refining our tours to make them even more spectacular then the previous ones. We have the level of the tours just where we want them at this point and I urge anyone who has been delaying a tour for whatever reason to go now before the prices get too high.

Our November/December Newsletter contains an interesting account of the wedding of Nicholas and Alexandra, undeniably two of the most tragic figures of all of Russian history. We also provide information about the opportunity to visit and purchase a fabulous set of china from the Imperial Porcelain Factory that dates back several centuries.

We are in the planning stages for a late March early April 2007 trip and hope that you will join us as spring erupts into a glorious burst of color and seasonal activities become outside events as the temperature warms up. Enjoy the newsletter and contact us and make reservations as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Michael E. Donnelly, Ph.D.
President
