Sanibona zivakashi,*
School is out and the long-awaited Summer is upon us. We've all earned a break and hopefully you'll be out and about, enjoying time with your family and friends!
If this has taken you by surprise - it's not too late to
plan your vacation! How about a
FAMILY VACATION EVERYONE CAN ENJOY? Leave terra-firma in the dust, enjoy
scrumptious meals, Broadway-style shows, a rejuvenating Day Spa, ice-skating, rock climbing and
a great youth program. Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Grandma - whoever you
are, there is something for everyone on a cruise ship. Ask me about my recent ALASKA CRUISE - an easy, relaxing get-away!
Visit www.TravelBoecker.com for more vacation ideas
Yes - I'm heeding my own advice and in early August shall be visiting family at an Ontario lake and exploring Prince Edward Island. Although I will be checking my e-mail regularly, kindly contact me for any travel requirements before the end of July.
Finally - whether you reside north or south of the 49th parallel, I trust that you will enjoy the 1st and 4th July festivities!
HAPPY CANADA DAY ~~~ HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

2009 Year of the Gorilla
These fascinating and highly vulnerable creatures are in
great danger of extinction, representing a difficult challenge to
humanity. They are a key species in the ecology of their forest habitats, which
regulate our global climate.
In March 2010 I am travelling to the Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda to catch a glimpse of the rare mountain gorilla, at home in a rich mosaic of montane ecosystems,
which embrace evergreen and bamboo forest, open grassland, swamp and heath. "In the heart of Central Africa, so high up that you shiver
more than you sweat," wrote the eminent primatologist Diane Fossey... For more
information contact Chris Boecker. Why not join me and visit the gorillas yourself!
