Travel Solo for Less
DeNure Tours, a family-owned tour company for
mature travelers that’s based in Lindsay, Ontario, has
launched two special promotions for solo travellers in
2008.If you’re Florida-bound,their 10- or 17-day trips to the
Nautilus Inn in Daytona Beach have no single supplement
on select departures during June and September. In addition,
their loyalty program that rewards repeat travellers
allows singles to redeem their points for free trips at a twin
rate. DeNure offers trips throughout Canada, the U.S.,
Europe and Asia. For information, call 1 800 668-6859 or
visit www.denuretours.com.
Turtle Trails
If you discover a small part of the beach in the
Wilmington or Cape Fear area that’s staked or caged off,
consider yourself lucky — you’ve likely just found a loggerhead
sea turtle’s nest (please don’t disturb it!), from which
the highly endangered babies will hatch and manoeuvre
themselves down to the water’s edge.The North Carolina
Aquariums help to rehabilitate sea turtles that need special
care and rescue new hatchlings in trouble. To learn more
about the program, go to www.ncaquariums.com/turtletrails/;
to visit, check out www.ncaquariums.com.
Cool Cruising
Have you been thinking about going somewhere a
little different for your next cruise vacation —maybe a
lot different? Consider a view of the Northern lights
from Norway, home to fathomless fjords and snowcapped
mountains. Or go south — far south — to
Antarctica, where icebergs and penguins await. GLP
Worldwide Expedition Travel and Tours, based in
Toronto, represents cruise operators that can offer these
ideas and more. You can browse their offerings at
www.glpworldwide.com. For information and booking,
call your local travel agent.
