Club Veg Alaska-Aug. 14-22, 2004
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This custom designed itinerary includes Alaska's premier off the beaten path destinations. On this trip we will look for whales and other wildlife in Kenai Fjords National Park; camp near and walk on a glacier in the Matanuska Valley; visit a ghost town in Wrangell St. Elias National Park and have the option to sea kayak to a calving glacier near Valdez. Our journey wraps up
with a scenic ferry cruise across the world famous Prince William Sound past the massive Columbia Glacier.
Your travel experience will be enhanced with all Vegan meals. These will be prepared fresh in the field by our experienced trip cook. Meals will occur outdoors picnic style within our screened in and heated (if necessary) custom kitchen tents conveniently located near our lodging facilities. Pre trip dialogue with trip participants will ensure foods are nutritious, tasty and fulfilling.
This trip is designed to appeal to the active traveler who desires the opportunity to explore Alaska's treasures outdoors and away from the typical mass tourist. We have included a few must do activities and have left two full days free from scheduled activities so you can choose what you want to do (with our advice and assistance of course). Our professional guides, extensive pre-trip planning, and efficient systems ensure each trip is conducted with the attention to
detail that you're once in a lifetime visit to Alaska deserves.

Join Donna of Green Earth Travel on a cycling trip to Wales
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Put that fitness New Years Resolution to use. Get in shape for the cycling trip of a lifetime! Join Donna and her husband Jeff for an extrodinary adventure. This is an all vegetarian cycling trip but one that can be taken by most anyone.
The Lower Wye Valley in the southern Welsh Borders is a fascinating landscape peppered with black & white cottages, ivy-clad castles, and apple orchards. Nestling between the Cotswolds to the east and the Black Mountains to the west, it is a half-forgotten gem.
Meandering country lanes lead to Kilpeck Church with its saucy pagan carvings; Skenfrith, Grossmont and Goodrich castles; the strangely-deserted Dore Abbey; the picturesque Symonds Yat gorge; the Forest of Dean; and a tour of the absolutely extraordinary Hellens - a tudor house crammed with 400 years of memorabilia and paintings.
We stay at Poulstone Court, a Victorian country house which is now used as a comfortable residential centre, near Ross-on-Wye. The house is a splendid place to relax and unwind, with its large sunny lounge and sweeping views across the meadows to the River Wye.
It is only a 5-minute stroll over the fields to the little iron suspension bridge which crosses the river.
