Brazil: guided boat up the Amazon
“I strongly recommend a riverboat trip along the Amazon River sponsored by Tally Ho Adventures, a trip I took last summer. The crew was friendly and professional. Our guide, a biologist who had grown up on the river and knows its every twist and turn, was a source of detailed and fascinating information. There were opportunities for swimming, kayaking and fishing. All trips start and end in Manaus, Brazil.”
$1,995 per passenger (double occupancy).

Vermont: Inn at Montpelier
“WE just returned from a 10-day trip to Vermont. We wanted to rave about Montpelier and the place we stayed. The beautiful Inn at Montpelier, built in the early 1800s, offered a comfortable room with a wood-burning fireplace. We were a block from town and walked to several excellent restaurants.”
Double rooms from $120.
