site of many of its ancient triumphs and tragedies. Board a vessel and cruise

 | EXPERIENCE EXOTIC SOUTHEAST ASIA
November 07-22, 2008
Tour Escort: Speakers: Richard Ouellette, CRNA, Med. &
Sandy Ouellette, CRNA, MS, FAAN
|
| |
A vibrant metropolis, Saigon teems with energy, activity and motion.
Everywhere you look, you see the meeting of traditional and modern life. The
emerging modern skyline is dotted with colonial buildings and traditional
temples. The sprawling and densely packed Cholon District (Chinatown)
constantly bustles with activity and retains a traditional feeling, unlike the
more modern Saigon city center. The crowning jewel of Khmer architecture,
Angkor Wat is the national symbol and the highlight of any visit to Cambodia.
The largest, best preserved, and most religiously significant of the Angkor
temples, it impresses visitors by its sheer scale and the delicate artistry of
its carvings. Bangkok, much like Saigon, combines the old with the new and a
trip to the famous floating market is a feast for the senses. Visit
magnificent monuments, temples and palaces as you travel through both the
ancient and modern places that comprise todays Southeast Asia.

 | CHILE & ARGENTINA
November 15 to 29, 2008
Tour Escort: Lecturers: Michael Geisler, CRNA,ARNP &
Deborah Geisler, CRNA,MHSA

Argentina and Chile sit side by side at the tip of the South American
continent. They share a common language and unlike the rest of their Spanish
speaking neighbors, a history of colonization by European nations such as
Italy and Germany. This is evident, especially in the larger cities (Santiago
and Buenos Aires) in their architecture, customs and cuisine. Both countries
have much to offer visitors, more than we could possibly fit in a two week
trip. We think we have put together a tour of some of the highlights but still
we have only scratched the surface, leaving endless possibilities for future
explorations. The trip will take you from magnificent coastal towns to
shimmering glaciers and Alpine peaks to water falls and beautiful colonial
cities.
