Volume 3, Issue 6
The Autumnal Equinox has passed, and Fall has arrived! Soon the leaves will begin to fall. For those of us fortunate enough to live (or work) out in the country, will begin to smell leaves burning, as well as the winter-long fragrance of wood smoke! For those of us UNfortunate enough to live in the city, we will hear the racket of the leaf blowers for hours on end. Even so, magic is in the air and the surprises of falls' blasts of leaf colors, are just around the corner!
Holiday Tours has a line-up of tours that will carry some surprises as well.

Holiday Tours suggests a little 'sand and song' on our Carolina Opry Legends in Concert! This trip departs the day after Thanksgiving, on November 25, making our way down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina!
To list a few of the performers you'll see; Madonna, Dolly Parton, Cher, & Elton John! Ok, NOT the real ones, but performers that not only look like them, but sound like them! These performers are really amazing 'chameleons'! Other impersonations of the late, greats are Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland & the amazing Nat King Cole and many more.
Leaving the same day, November 25, 2005, but in an entirely different direction, in more ways than one, is our annual Pennsylvania Dutch at Christmas tour! Christmas in Lancaster Pennsylvania can surely be considered the complete opposite of Christmas at the beach! This tour features a dinner show, 'Christmas from the Heart' @ the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, the very first night! The second day you will tour the Amish countryside and visit the Farmers' Market, think of it. . . .these are Dutch farmers! You just might find some 'heirloom fruits' right out of that Dutch farmland!
New for this tour, you will be lodging in a Resort Hotel, this surprise we will
leave for you to discover on your own! The the last evening you will see 'The
Miracle of Christmas'. A beautiful, enduring story of love will be presented in
a dramatic and memorable production! You will begin your return trip home on the
27th.

She flies in on mysterious wings, still,
As "Adolescent Summer" suffocates all in his anxious wake,
"Lady Fall", flirtatiously makes her perennial debut,
Drifting past with her delicate cool, rustling leaves,
Lifting withered spirits she arrives.
Dressed in amber warmed shades, she swirls coquettishly,
Bringing rejuvenated life to dried and crackling things. . . .
She skates past, gathering wood smoke and burnt orange,
In her widening cape, glazing pumpkins and gourds with frost.
"Lady Fall" shakes out Halloween, caught in her skirts,
Warming hearts with her glistening hair, she will be gone before
"Madame Winter's" elegant arrival.
