Cobblestoned Tuscany

Facebook me!

I am thrilled to be able to bring down the price of our Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast itinerary, September 14 – 21, 2010.  Original price $5,000.00, new price $4,400.00. Nice!

Because of the strength of the dollar to the Euro I have been able to re-calculate the price of this awesome trip!

The strength of the dollar seems to be a positive indicator that the economy is coming back bit by bit. Coupled with the great price of airline tickets, and the fact that guests are signing up for AHA travel in 2010 and 2011, after a very quiet 2009, are further signs.  Let’s hope the trend continues.

What is “AHA Style”?  AHA is true to its name, Art History Alive, and each itinerary focuses on it, wherever we are.  Lightly educational in nature and full of cultural detail, from music to cuisine, from architecture to the greatest artwork ever, this is AHA Style.  Add to that micro-group size for fun and flexibility and you truly do have a “travel style”.  Ah Ha!

Our September 2010, Tuscany and The Amalfi Coast trip, the first time we have offered this particular combination, the cobblestoned hilltowns of Tuscany, and the seaside of Italy.  You’ve got to admit that this is a wonderful contrast.  If  you are unfamiliar with these areas, take my word for it, it is a killer combo and then, sign up!  Hearty Tuscan food, complimented by mouth watering country wines, juxtaposed against the fresh, light sea food of the seaside, while dining al fresco (outside) enjoying crispy white local wines.  Paleeeeeeze!  All the while surrounded by  the incredible Etruscan civilization of Tuscany, surprisingly in sync with American ideals, and the very same ideals that the early Romans stole for their own, plus harrowing tales of the marauding Pirate history of the Southern Coast.  Brain fed, tummy fed.  Hm m m m, can it get any better?  Not for me.

Stretch your brain, and tantalize your taste buds.  With this price reduction, the savings just about cover the price of your round trip ticket to Italy!

Reflection in a Meadow Pond

I am very happy to say that I have been able to reduce the price of one of AHA’s upcoming trips, and I hope to be able to reduce the price of a second.  More on that soon.

It pleases me no end to announce that Art History Alive’s – Gold Rush Wines and Yosemite, October 15 – 18, which was priced at $1600.00,  is now $1300.00! This all-inclusive four day fall escape with all meals, wines, wine tasting, transportation, a two hour spa treatment, historic hotel accommodations, and two days in Yosemite staying overnight at the beautiful Ahwahnee Hotel, is a great deal!  Having just stayed at the Ahwahnee, I can tell you first hand that the entire hotel is a wonder of Native American decor.  Priceless baskets, artwork galore, plus huge crackling fires in the walk-in sized fireplaces, all surrounded by two story picture windows that bring the outside in.  Staying at the Ahwahnee is a unique, and lingering experience.  I have selected rooms in the immense granite and pine hotel with beautiful views, as well as separate cottages in the quiet forest just outside.  Your choice.

Come and join our little group, who together will relax, go wine tasting, and rejuvenate.  We will share the majesty of Yosemite, and the wonder of this National Park, during its quiet fall season.  Love to have you, and I can’t wait!
