Dear Member,
|
We invite you to join Bob & Ruth's fourth exciting cruise-tour
to the scenic wonderland known as Alaska. Since our
first sailing in May 2000, our Alaska programs have been
popular sellouts. On August 29, 2008, the next adventure
begins in scintillating Seattle at the Marriott Waterfront
Hotel, within steps of famous Pike's Market. Then set sail
for a week aboard the luxurious Westerdam, cruising along
scenery beyond description.
|
Gliding past fjords, forests, waterfalls, islands and
mountains, your eyes will be alert for bald eagles, sea
otters and seals sunbathing on glacier chunks, and
breeching whales during the long daylight hours. The ports
of call are varied and unique. Highlights of the voyage
include spectacular Glacier Bay with its dazzling
tidewater glaciers, and serenely scenic Misty Fjords. The
intensity of the colors and sounds, the blue of the glacier ice, the
thunderous roar of glacial calving and ‘popcorn' –
unforgettable!
|
And of course, THE FOOD! Gluten-free Alaskan
delicacies such as halibut steak and bay shrimp, King crab
legs, sesame roasted salmon filets on the grill, Alaska cod
filets, roasted duck, Alaskan berries and Baked Alaska -
the Dessert Extravaganza. Plus bagels, muffins, pancakes,
French toast, baked desserts, and much more.

We are also pleased to announce that Carolyn Weglein
will be escorting this cruise. She was a Founding Member
and Past President of the Baltimore Celiac Support Group,
Chairperson of the Baltimore Walk for CFCR, since its
inception, and mother of two healthy grown celiac
children (one our webmaster). She and her family are
experienced travelers, having traveled with us and on
their own extensively for many years. We know that once
you get to know her, you will agree that she will do us proud
as Bob & Ruth's representative on this trip.

Experience the excitement of cruising and enjoying a real
taste of Alaska, while being treated to some of the finest
food, gluten-free (and that other stuff). It's a breathtaking
trip of a lifetime. As always, what a great opportunity for
those on a gluten-free diet to share a vacation with friends
and family, without the usual hassles.
