Alex's Notes
Israel & Jordan is BACK!
This is one of my favorite programs from the European World Travel Vault (it's right up there with Egypt and Kenya & Tanzania). In 2010, Nicholas, Dominique and I took this amazing adventure. Sadly, Doreen stayed back to watch the fort. Ever since I have been praying to take her.
I'm also ecstatic to work with Helena Novak a longtime friend and Senior Vice President of Alexander + Roberts (formally General Tours) once again. My family and I have been working with Helena on this program since early 2000. Her knowledge of the Middle East is impressive, and this updated adventure is a Dream Maker.
Dream Making Adventure!
Yes, much of Israel and Jordan's history is related to the Bible, yet this program offers much more. It is a multi-cultural and historical journey dating back some 8000 years. Add to this the many unique features added by Helena and the fabulously located DELUXE hotels. This is another once-in-a lifetime itinerary.
My father taught me that when you visit a destination take-in all that is possible so there is no need to go back. I feel dad would be proud that we are keeping up his Family Tradition.
