14 “A traveller without observation is a bird without wings.” Moslih Eddin Saadi Wesley Eure’s Tripping the Planet TRIO SETS SAIL AUGUST 10TH!!! On a very rare occasion, a business comes into a community and helps to redefine it and make it better. Trio Restaurant is such a business. It is hard to remember a time when Trio was not one of the desert’s favorite “watering holes” and gathering spots for tourist and locals alike! Trio has become more than just a quality restaurant… it is a true charitable community icon here in Palm Springs. So when Trio announced they were co-hosting a River Cruise, I knew it had to be special…and it is!! Trio has teamed up with HEARTY Restaurant of Chicago and A-ROSA European River Cruises for a fantastic 2013 Culinary Cruise! This is going to be a very special and “tasty” adventure!! Date: August 10-17, 2013 Destination: sailing round-trip from Lyon on the Rhône and Saône Rivers in the Southern French regions of Provence and Burgundy.

Description: “Taste your way through the South of France with TRIO Restaurant of Palm Springs Ports of Call: LYON: The old town “Vieux Lyon” features Renaissance houses making it worthy of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lyon is dubbed “la ville de gueule” – the gourmet town. Furthermore it is known for its high-quality silk products and the Basilica of Notre-Dame die Fourvière above the city. Our guests are invited to a complimentary gourmet lunch at the eatery of famed Chef, Paul Bocuse! MÂCON: Mâcon, on the River Saône, has a distinctly old-world and Mediterranean feel. Home to France’s greatest writers it is most famous for its Burgundy wines. Sights include the Maison de Bois, a house covered in elaborate wooden carvings. All around you can enjoy the beautiful, rolling countryside of the Mâconnais. Onboard Experience: There are many ships cruising the rivers of Europe, but none are as vibrant and lively as A-ROSA! The ships have a contemporary boutique feel with modern décor, young and handsome staff and cuisine so delectable that many have called it “the best in the cruise industry!” Designed for the North American traveler, A-ROSA was first to offer a truly “all-inclusive” experience. Once onboard you can put your wallet away! Your fare includes: - Comfortable, chic accommodations - Open Bar (spirits, wine, beer, etc…all day and in all venues) ***this is a major point for all P.R.
