Page 1 Kings Point Bus Trips Vesta partners with Glory Tours, a third party vendor, for all of our coach trips! Glory Tours has been working with Vesta in offering day/overnight trips for over 6 years as a part of the Kings Point coach trip operation. In the process of them absorbing all the coach trips, and after analyzing extensive historical data and numerous variables while planning the upcoming bus book, Glory Tours is implementing the following new processes: • For all restaurant ONLY tours, Glory Tours will no longer have a tour guide specialist onboard. The goal is to keep these trips affordable by eliminating the expense of a tour guide for these simple outings. • Glory Tours will also utilize a smaller shuttle bus for trips when it is feasible, and when we have enough residents signed up to also help avoid cancellation of a trip. • Rays Games-Glory Tours is moving designated seats to a less expensive section, but still allowing for some upgrades at an additional cost, if you choose to sit closer. This will also bring the cost down for the more expensive games that are not on Thursdays (Ray vs. Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, etc.) Pre-register outside of the Box Office in the main lobby All ticketed tours are non-refundable. Tours go rain or shine, unless the event is cancelled by the venue/vendors due to weather conditions, etc.

    Post-Meeting Trip – SFT-09 TITLE: Stratigraphy and sequential correlations in the Lower Cretaceous around Lisbon Leaders: Jacques Rey1 & Paulo Caetano2 1 Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France 2 Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Departamento de Ciências da Terra and CICEGe For additional information please contact Paulo Caetano: [email protected] DATES: Saturday, July 06th – Sunday, July 07th (two day field trip) PRICE: 135 € Number of participants: 20 to 40 SUMMARY: During the Early Cretaceous, the Lusitanian Basin located on the Western Iberian Margin was characterized by a large variety of sedimentary deposits (siliciclastics, carbonates) and environments (from open distal platform to fluvial systems and palaeosols). It recorded the tectonic events linked to the first episodes of the northward propagation of the Atlantic opening and the cyclic variations of sea level at 2nd and 3rd order. The cliffs along the Atlantic coast near Lisbon where the sedimentary infilling is perfectly preserved will allow to analyze during this field trip the stratal, sedimentological, paleontological and geochemical patterns of depositional sequences during the interval Valanginian - Albian. The first day will be devoted to the series of the most marine environments, in the vicinity of Cascais. Deposits in more proximal situations - northward (Ericeira area) and southward (Espichel Cape) - will be observed the second day.
