Indochina@miamiskiclub.net
We have just signed the contract on the core trip and deposited all the lodging, tours and internal flights, so we are ready to open the trip up! As usual, this will be a first-class trip, combining some of the world's most exotic locations with luxury travel and lodging, with some special touches thrown in for good measure. We are still working on the Singapore extension (which should be quite a bargain), but the trip itself is priced as follows:
$4,995 per person, based on double occupancy
$1,660 for a single supplement, and
$3,970 if doing your own air.
Please be aware that the price of the extension will be higher if you are doing your own air, as Singapore Airlines is subsidizing a portion of the extension cost. More on the subject later. If you have an interest in this journey, we highly suggest signing up at the opening of the trip, as we have a limited number of spaces availale, and we expect the trip to fill very quickly.

Quebec@miamiskiclub.net
Join the Miami Ski Club along with the Florida Ski Council for a once in a lifetime trip. The Quebec City FSC trip occurs during a very special occasion, as 2008 marks the Quebec City's 400th anniversary and Winter Carnival. Quebec City has old world charm and a very European feel and is one of only two walled cities in North America. There will be so many activities going on because the Winter Carnival will have an Olympics type atmosphere. The city will be filled with excitement and many choices. Our Quebec City trip is a must for non-skiers as well as skiers. To begin with, the Hotel Le Chateau Frontenac is a world famous 5 star hotel. It is over l00 years old and sits high on a bluff overlooking the St. Lawrence River. Our hotel is in the heart of the old city on the spot where Champlain built his original fort. Our Quebec City trip will not only be remembered for the skiing but also for the weeklong celebration of Quebec City's landmark anniversary.
