SUMMARY:Penguins & Patagonia Adventure
DESCRIPTION:About the Adventure\nJoin us for an Adventure unlike any other through the majestic land of Patagonia with award winning author\, Midge Raymond\, as she immerses us in the research she did with Magellanic penguins that helped inspire her novel\, My Last Continent.  \nMidge volunteered at the Punta Tombo penguin colony in Argentina\, where she helped with a penguin census of the largest Magellanic penguin colony in the world. Her work was alongside Dr. Dee Boersma of the University of Washington and her team to help count penguins and eggs at this colony of 200\,000 breeding pairs. Dr. Boersma has been studying the Magellanic penguins at Punta Tombo for thirty years\, and her work & advocacy has been instrumental in protecting the penguins and conserving their habitat in this remote & breathtaking part of the world. \nOn this spectacular Adventure\, you too will have the opportunity to delve into the Nature Reserves of Patagonia with Midge and other penguin conservationist guides. Over 9 incredible days travelers will see and experience wildlife in ways they never imagined\, without the strain of extreme physical activity. This Adventure has been specially designed for travelers at most fitness levels\, without sacrificing the opportunity to get up-close and personal withthe spectacular creatures of the region. \n \nBeginning in Buenos Aires\, Adventurers will fly (as a group\, internal flights included!) to Puerto Madryn near where the Punta Tombo penguin colony resides and will be incubating their eggs. We will spend hours with local researchers getting an up-close experience with these amazing birds that not only inspired Midge\, but her husband\, John Yunker\, author of The Tourist Trail\, as well. \nOur animal-interaction does not stop there though: we will next travel to the UNESCO World Heritage site Peninsula Valdes where penguins\, rheas\, guanacoes\, foxes\, sea lions\, elephant seals\, the occasional orca\, and many more stunning creatures reside. Our time in Peninsula Valdes will be savored for three nights spent at Estancia Rincon Chico\, an exclusive lodge on the UNESCO site. Guests will experience nature in the most intimate way: listening to burrowing owls close to the lodge\, waking to the song of the larks\, encountering an endless sky full of stars\, and that is all in addition to the awesome boat trip to see the largest population of Southern Right Whales in the world. \nWith the guidance of the brilliant Midge Raymond and a team of local guides\, by the time this unbelievable Adventure ends\, travelers will have had the opportunity to experience Penguins & Patagonia in a way few others will ever have the privilege. \nBUT WAIT…The Adventure doesn’t have to stop there: after the Patagonian Adventure ends\, an optional 11 day Antarctic Extension begins! Inquire for details on this chance to travel further into the setting of My Last Continent and cross Antarctica off your bucket list! \nYour Patagonian Adventure Includes:\n7 Nights lodging in three locations (Buenos Aires\, Puerto Madryn\, and Peninsula Valdes) \nWelcome Dinner in Buenos Aires \nAll group transportation during the trip \nDaily private coach \nTwo internal flights \nLocal guides \nBreakfast Every Day \n3 lunches & 3 dinners in Punta Delgada \nPenguin & wildlife sightseeing at some of the worlds most breathtaking Nature Reserves** \nWhale watching boat excursion \nEntrance fees to included attractions \n3 nights lodging at the exclusive Estancia Rincon Chico \nFarewell Luncheon in Puerto Madryn \nSigned copy of My Last Continent (Midge Raymond) & The Tourist Trail (John Yunker)\n \nIntimate\, exclusive tour group (no more than 16 Adventurers) \nThe unique opportunity to travel with Midge Raymond as she takes us through this spectacular landscape and the research she did with penguins \n…and much\, much more! \n**These sight-seeing excursions are designed for light-medium fitness levels.

SUMMARY:Bavarian Adventure by the Book
DESCRIPTION:Germany & Austria\nApril 30 – May 11\, 2017\nAbout the Adventure\nJoin us for an incredible one-of-a-kind Adventure through Bavaria with internationally bestselling author Jenna Blum\, as she leads us through the history of the land that inspired her New York Times bestseller\, Those Who Save Us. \nGrowing up surrounded by books\, Jenna Blum was always inquisitive. At only age five\, after reading When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit\, she questioned her parents: why were the Nazis and the Gestapo so mean to the Jews? Jenna’s questions only grew with age\, and while through decades of research she knew the historical answers to the inquiries she had\, she could never find an emotional reasoning to one of the greatest atrocities in human history. \nWith her unanswered questions already stirring the inspiration for her novel in the back of her mind\, a trip to Southern Germany with her mother in 1993\, allowed Jenna’s character of Anna to be born. It would take the next ten years of imagining this normal\, young\, quiet\, beautiful German woman caught in the wrong place at the wrong time\, a frenzy of “method research” on any information regarding the Third Reich\, and a truly heartening experiencing interviewing for the Steven Spielberg’s Survivor of Shoah Foundation for Jenna to write Those Who Save Us. \n \nOn this epic Adventure we will travel through Germany and Austria\, staying in some of the most historic cities in the region. Not only will travelers get to see incredible and renowned historic sights\, like Neuschwanstein Castle\, Dachau Concentration Camp\, and the birthplace of Mozart\, but also lesser-known places. Jenna will be with us every step of the way as our expert guide\, leading us down the street to a little bakery featured in Those Who Save Us or narrating the calamity of what happened at Buchenwald as we walk through the hushed grounds. We will stay in the very place\, the Hotel Wittelsbach\, where Jenna researched much of her award-winning novel\, and be privileged to receive insight into her writing process\, and Jenna will provide guidance on our own creative writing aspirations. \nJoin us on this unforgettable journey\, where you will not only be inspired by Jenna and Those Who Save Us\, but also by the beauty and intrigue of Bavaria\, a region rooted in history. On this Adventure you will have the opportunity to embrace all sides of that history\, as we follow a literary path through the many brilliant cities and tiny German towns of Bavaria. \nYour Bavarian Adventure Includes:\n10 Nights lodging in seven cities (Frankfurt\, Weimar\, Füssen\, Oberammergau\, Berchtesgaden\, Salzburg\, and Munich) \nWelcome Dinner in Frankfurt \nAll group land transportation \nDaily private couch \nLocal guides in each city \nSpecial readings from Those Who Save Us at locations featured in the novel \nBreakfast Every Day \nDinner at the Zauberstub’n Restaurant (“Magic Rooms”) \nSightseeing & admission to locations like Neuschwanstein Castle\, Goethe’s gartenhaus\, Mozart’s birthplace\, Linderhof Palace\, etc. \nDinner Concert in Salzburg \nBoat ride on Königssee Lake \nFarewell Dinner at Munich’s famous Hofbräuhaus \nExclusive writing tips & prompts from Jenna herself\, who has worked as an instructor for Boston’s Grub Street Writers for nearly twenty years \nSigned copy of Those Who Save Us \nIntimate\, exclusive tour group (no more than twenty Adventurers) \nThe unique opportunity to travel with Jenna Blum as she recreates the inspiration and research behind her book \n…and much\, much more! \nSave

SUMMARY:Iditarod Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Anchorage & Denali\, Alaska\nFebruary 27 – March 6\, 2017\nHave you ever dreamed of standing at the starting line of ‘The Last Great Race on Earth’? Imagine yourself among the electric energy that will permeate the icy air in Anchorage on March 5th when the grand Iditarod begins\, the day that hundreds of sled dogs and their mushers will stand ready to take off on the 1050-mile race from Anchorage to Nome\, Alaska. \nThe Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race® was founded in 1973 by Joe Redington\, whose vision was to bring the sled dogs back to the villages and to have the Iditarod Trail recognized as a National Historic Trail. Today\, the culmination of that vision is a world class sporting event that covers some of the roughest\, most beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. \nIn 2003\, Debbie Moderow entered her first Iditarod. After traveling more than 800 miles\, facing whiteout conditions and rough trails barren of snow\, Debbie found herself less than 200 miles from the finish line when her dogs decided they didn’t want to run anymore. This first failed attempt crushed Debbie’s confidence\, but after reconnecting with her dogs she returned and ventured again to Nome\, pushing through injuries\, hallucinations\, epic storms\, flipped sleds\, and clashing personalities\, both human and canine. In 2005\, Debbie prevailed and completed ‘The Last Great Race’. Her epic memoir\, Fast Into the Night recounts these journeys. Part adventure\, part love story\, part inquiry into the mystery of the connection between humans and dogs\, Fast into the Night is an exquisitely written memoir of a woman\, her dogs\, and what can happen when someone puts herself in that place between daring and doubt—and soldiers on. \n \nDebbie and her family’s lives have revolved around unique and intelligent huskies since they adopted their first retired sled-dog over 20 years ago. Today they split their time between Anchorage and Denali Park\, home to their Salty Dog Kennel\, named after that first husky\, Salt. The Moderows’ routine life is unlike any we know here in ‘the lower-48’ and Adventures by the Book™ invites you to join us for a week split between Anchorage & Denali\, experiencing life as the Moderows’ know it and witnessing the extraordinary start of the “Last Great Race on Earth”. \nAbout the Adventure:\nAdventurers will land in Anchorage on February 27th and be greeted with a hospitable welcome dinner at the Moderows’ home to celebrate their first night in Alaska. The next day we will head out bright and early for Denali Park\, home to the 28 huskies of the Salty Dog Kennel. After meeting the team of dogs\, we will settle into our accommodations at the Moderows’ Denali home. Over the next three days we will partake in the “dogsledding lifestyle”\, with all meals provided\, and the opportunity to engage in a variety of wintertime Alaskan activities\, such as: \nSnowshoeing \nDog mushing \nSnowmobiling \nCross country skiing \nCampfires\, stories\, and hot toddies \nVisiting a Training Camp out on the trail \nExploring the east end of Denali National Park \nPossible viewing of natural wonders like moose\, caribou\, and the Northern Lights \n…and much more! \n \nWhen our three days immersing ourselves in and learning about the intricacies of the “dog-sledding lifestyle” come to an end\, our Adventure will just be beginning as we travel back to Anchorage to kick off the 2017 Iditarod. \nOur first evening will be spent partaking in the Iditarod festivities happening around the town and taking the opportunity to explore Anchorage further. When we wake in the morning it will be Race Day. That moment you imagined\, standing on the sidelines of the race as the fervent energy rises in the air\, will arrive with the The Ceremonial Start of the Iditarod. At 10:00 am on March 5th**\, we will be in downtown Anchorage ready  to cheer the racers on as they begin their journey of over 1000 miles. \nWhile one would assume that the Ceremonial Start would be the end of the Iditarod excitement for non-participants until the end (an unknown date determined by when the last racer finishes) that is not the case. The official start of the Iditarod\, when the time clock for racers begins\, is the next day in Willow at 2:00 pm\, where we will travel** to experience the bustle of mushers as they set out\, truly this time\, into the great Alaskan Wilderness. \nAs the racers’ journey begins\, ours will come to an end. That Sunday the Moderow’s will host a farewell dinner at their home\, before Adventurers say goodbye to fly back to our ‘lower 48’. \nThis Adventure is an unrivaled way to experience not only Alaska\, but also the Iditarod. You will leave this week with your perspective forever changed by the colossal nature of Alaska and the gumption it takes to pursue its wilderness. More than that\, as with all Adventures by the Book\, you will be put in a setting where you will form unparalleled connections not only with our inspiring author\, Debbie Moderow\, but also your fellow Adventurers. \nYour Iditarod Adventure includes four nights’ accommodations in Anchorage\, transportation to and from Denali\, three night’s accommodations in the Moderow’s Denali home (a camp-like settlement with cabin sleeping arrangements)\, all meals in Denali and some in Anchorage\, winter activities\, a signed copy of the author’s book\, Fast Into the Night\, and transportation to and from the Anchorage Airport. \n**Please note that Alaskan weather can be unpredictable and that in the unlikely case of conditions that are not ideal for a race start in Anchorage/Willow\, the Iditarod start line may change. Adventures by the Book™ is not responsible for an unexpected location change or for transporting travelers to this new destination.Save \nSave
