We have made arrangements with a Seattle tour company, Sound Excursions, to offer tours of attractions near Seattle during the Conference in August. While you attend the Conference, your spouse and/or children can spend time at local attractions such as a day tour of Mt. Rainier, a dormant volcano that dominates the Seattle skyline from about 50 miles away, and offers spectacular scenery; the Boeing Future of Flight and airplane factory; sunset kayaking on Lake Union; an evening at one of Washington’s finest casinos; and tours of wineries near Seattle. You, of course, are also welcome to enjoy any of these tours. More will be added shortly. For information on the tours currently available and to book a tour, see the web page at https://my.getinsellout.com/providers/sound-excursions-2/list. This will take you to the vendor’s dedicated website for our Conference. As previously announced, we have arranged for cruises to Alaska, both before and after the Conference. However, we must ask that all bookings be completed by March 15 for the few available cabins we have left. Due to Homeland Security restrictions, our Travel Agent is only able to book cruises for American citizens, but for anyone else who is still considering a tour, you can book directly with the cruise lines, depending on availability. A Pre-Conference Cruise departs Seattle, Friday afternoon, July 29, 2016 at 5:00 PM, returning to Seattle on Friday morning, August 5, 2016 at 8 AM onboard the Celebrity Solstice. The seven day itinerary is scheduled to take you to Ketchikan, Alaska, Tracy Arm Fjord (cruising through the fjord and glaciers), Juneau, and Skagway, Alaska on the northbound route and cruising the Inside Passage with a port call in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on the return leg. This is a family-friendly cruise with many amenities available for children. Prices start at $1299 per person, double occupancy for an inside cabin. For cabins with an ocean view or a balcony, the prices are higher. Note these fees do not include approximately $200 per person in taxes and port fees, and any other amenities you may wish to purchase. The Celebrity Solstice receives top ratings consistently from people who have taken cruises on it as reported by http://www.cruisecritic.com, which ranks cruise ships based on objective measurements of quality and allows individuals to rank ships by quality, as well. By the way, this website offers a lot of great information, whether this is your first cruise or your hundredth. There are additional costs for more than two people in a cabin and prices are not guaranteed until the cabin is booked with a deposit of at least $500.

We have elected to offer two post-conference cruises, both departing Seattle on Sunday, August 14 at 4 in the afternoon and returning Sunday, August 21 in the morning. Boarding begins at 1:00 PM and you must be aboard by 3:30 PM. Both ships appeal to slightly different clientele, so you may wish to consider this. The Ruby Princess offers a variety of opportunities for a family oriented cruiser. Departing from Seattle, the itinerary includes port stops at Ketchikan and Juneau, a morning cruise around the Tracy Arm Fjord, a day in Skagway, and a day in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on the return. Rates begin at about $950 per person, double occupancy and to that, you must add about $225 in taxes and port fees. If you put down a refundable deposit of $500 per person by October 29, there is a price reduction on this cruise. The Ruby Princess is also rated highly onwww.cruisecritic.com.
