Wonders of the Navajo Page 8 2019 Travel Planner Welcome to our 2019 Travel Planner! At Gadabout Vacations, we’ve been helping you expand your horizons and make memories for more than 50 years. Since our early days, there’s been a lot that’s stayed tried and true. We still offer our classic itineraries like Yosemite and Railways of California, for example. At the same time, we’re constantly evolving – working to keep our tours the best on the road, and to keep the experience of a Gadabout Vacation truly special. Earlier this year, we debuted a new website. (I hope you’ve checked it out!) This year, we are excited to share with you our new 2019 Travel Planner. This information-packed document will allow you to preview all of our upcoming multi-day vacations at a glance, so you can easily plan your vacation schedule for the entire year. You’ll find highlights and pricing here, and full itineraries at GadaboutVacations.com. Stay tuned throughout the year as we mail you printed versions of these itineraries in our popular newsletters. But that’s not all. For 2019, we’re premiering more than 40 new vacations - with some of the most creative ideas we’ve ever offered in the history of the company! Try a “book club on wheels” during our Literary California tour for example. Or, join us for a spring training getaway in Arizona. Best of all, just like last year, you can expect unparalleled savings from our new pricing model, and continued savings for single travelers. If you book now, you can enjoy the best available prices on our 2019 vacations. And if you book two tours, we will even provide free Gadabout Trip Protection. Let the following pages inspire you!
