Greetings!

The Family Travel segment continues to garner attention. We have recently completed interviews with Newsweek Magazine and USA Today, discussing what our readers are looking for when they travel with loved ones. What's hot now? Adventure travel, cruising and family reunions. And of course we are speeding toward ski season. Are you ready?

  • Explorer's Club Offers Fun Plus Peace of Mind
    .
    From climbing and camping to treasure hunts and pool parties, the Explorer's club, for kids age three to 12 provides new options for families looking for all inclusive holidays. Dreams and Sunscape Resorts & Spas, seven luxury family-focused resorts in Mexico and the Dominican Republic have introduced the Explorer's Club and a host of activities as part of their all-inclusive packages.

    The fully supervised program for children, open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., incorporates activities for different age groups, varying by resort. Younger children might make sandcastles, piñatas and paper airplanes, go on nature walks, search for shells and play pirate. Older kids might play beach volleyball, air hockey and water polo, go on iguana safaris, and learn some Spanish and merengue dance moves. The camping adventure takes place one night a week when kids camp out in tents and watch a film on an outdoor movie screen.

    Each of the seven resorts has special facilities and aspects of their Explorer's Club program that is unique and different. For example, Sunscape Puerto Aventuras Riviera Maya hosts an elaborate tree house while the new Sunscape The Beach Punta Cana has an enormous pirate ship sitting in the middle of the kid's pool with sails set and cannons ready, inviting children to climb aboard and splash into the water on the giant waterslide.

    While kids are enjoying supervised activities with new friends, parents can enjoy adult pursuits at the resorts, like a quiet soak in their double Jacuzzi, couples massage at the spa, scuba diving, golf time in the fitness center.

    Love Horses? Head to Scottsdale!
    .
    Visitors to Scottsdale are quick to recognize that the city still embraces a love for all things equestrian, one of the attributes that helped establish this part of the Southwest more than a century ago.

    The mystique of the West is alive and well and remains as much a part of the city as saguaros, sagebrush and sunsets. From a variety of world-championship performance competitions and traditional rodeo events, Scottsdale will offer an outstanding collection of equestrian events this year and stay true to its Western roots.

    Not ready for prime time? There are plenty of outfits able and willing to accompany you out on a nearby trail where you can enjoy a ride that's just right for you, your family and friends.

    West Virginia Whitewater!
    If you and your family members are white water junkies, there is time for one more thrill ride this season. The Gauley River in West Virginia is released several times every fall by the U.S. Corps of Engineers and Adventures Mountain River is ready to put you on the water. With more river time logged than any other outfitter here, AMR has many options to customize an adventure for anyone.

    The Upper Gauley River has attracted whitewater enthusiasts from around the world because of its 50 major rapids, including the famous "Big Five." This river is not for the faint of heart, but includes heart- pounding action and creates life-long memories. Several trip options are available, including an Express Trip, a Full Day expedition that includes continental breakfast and riverside lunch, and the All the Way Gauley which includes both Upper and Lower sections in one day.

    Trip options on the Lower Gauley include a Full Day with continental breakfast and riverside lunch, a two- night camping special, and a one-night motel special. Multi-day trips are also available that include both the Upper and Lower Gauley in two days of nonstop action.

    Hurry to make plans as remaining release dates for 2005 are October 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 16. For reservations contact contact Adventures Mountain River at 800-822-1386 or follow the link below.
