Dear Robert, think Spring!

.....and then think Corsica!  We have Corsica on sale!  Take $300 off on the Corsica April 24, 2010 tour thru the end of January (cannot be combined with any other discounts).

Corsica is rumored to be the location of the start of the 2013 Tour de France.  It's about time the big boys had a few stages on the "I'le de Beaute".  We have been to a lot of places around the world and Corsica has remained at the top of our list for it's combination of mountains, Mediteranean and French food.   

Tour d' Indochine starts soon (Februay 10, 2010).  It's our longest tour at 18 nights and combines the best of Vietnam and Laos.   This time around we plan to take small boats down the Nam Ou river from Muong Khua to Nong Kiau.  We'll pass (and visit) remote villages.  We are also planning a bigger white water rafting option outside Vang Vieng.   Finally, Chantal, Robin and Gwyn are planning to arrive in Vietnam early and hike up Mt. Fansipan, the highest peak in in Vietnam at 3,143 meters.  They will join us in Sapa.  Here's the entire group.

You can follow us while on Tour d' Indochine via daily blog posts....using  Facebook, Twitter, The Wobblin' Sprocket or Netvibes.  You can also just click on "RSS" below (and then "subscribe"), which will feed the posts right to your web browser.

Best,

Corsica - I'le de Beaute
Evisa, Corsica

It's not called Isle of Beauty for nothing.  We think Corsica is one of the most spectacular places on the planet.  That's probably why we have not one, but two different Corsica itineraries.    Pictures really don't do the place justice, but we've assembled some anyway. 

We've picked out some tour pictures from over the years and they appear here.

Evisa is a mountain village famous for chestnuts.  We stay in Evisa on the "The Beauty" Tour scheduled for April 24, 2010.  It's on sale now.
 
Thanks for the Photos!
