Allied Tour & Travel, May 2019 Newsletter

MAY 2019 

Dear Travel Friends, 

For years I’ve seen the twinkle in the eyes of Allied travelers who are grandparents! 

They will talk about those grandkids a lot (sometimes non-stop). They’ll say how smart 

they are and make predictions about their future (next President) and of course show 

pictures. 

I AM A Grandpa! 

Now I understand where they are coming from. 

I’m still a new first-time grandparent. My granddaughter, Braelynn, is 1 ½ and is a 

bundle of energy and joy. Of course, she is the most beautiful young one around and 

bound to be the next President! 

One thing some of our travelers like to do is travel with their grandkids. Places like 

Washington, D.C., Mount Rushmore, New York City, the National Parks, and other 

places are fantastic learning experiences. Travel increases understanding, grows a 

vision and can even change lives, all while having the time of your life. 

So, browse through our brochure and imagine the places you and a grandchild, or 

a spouse or friend could see. We’ve got new destinations like the Route 66 tour, 

our Ladies Only Quilts and Gardens tour, and our Nova Scotia motor coach tour to 

mention just a few. 

Give us a call, and we’ll make it easy for you to plan your next vacation. Take 

advantage of our Early Booking Savings (deadline May 12) and our Pay by Check 

Savings. You’ll save a bundle and have a great time too.

ONE DAY TOURS 

FROM RUSSIA TO HENDERSON - SPEND THE DAY THE MENNONITE WAY 

Henderson Mennonite Heritage Museum & Park, Henderson, NE 

Henderson’s Mennonite immigrants left Russia and settled on the plains of Nebraska in 1874 for religious freedom. 

Who were these believers and what is their connection to the Amish and Mennonites of today? While visiting 

Henderson Mennonite Heritage Museum and Park, visitors will experience personal stories of these Anabaptist 

settlers, hear a bit of their Low-German language and indulge in ethnic desserts and a delectable Mennonite meal. A 

local place of worship featuring 23 stained glass windows and a 2,200 pipe organ will offer a spiritual experience 

never to be forgotten. Unique guided storytelling throughout the museum’s many eclectic historical buildings will bring 

to life the history of the Mennonite faith and what it means to be a Mennonite today.

Our day begins with a fascinating peek under those 19th century dresses using original undergarment artifacts from 

the Stuhr Museum’s collection. Undergarments were the foundation for the ‘in style’ fashions such as hoops, bustles 

and corsets that today resemble torture devices. After this interesting program, you will have time to stroll through the 

stunning Stuhr building to see how the seven million dollar renovation reflects her true beauty. Can you guess what 

inspired the name Kinkaider? The Michelson building has quite the past having housed many legal business and a few 

not so legal enterprises. Learn about the working girls from the brothels upstairs. A delicious lunch will be served at 

this location. After lunch, stroll and shop “Railside,” Grand Island’s official downtown historic district. The art scene is

RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN CELEBRATION 

AT HOLLAND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 

Omaha, NE 

Enjoy an “enchanted afternoon” of the music of Rodgers & Hammerstein at the Holland Performing Arts Center along 

with a Broadway cast of vocalists and dancers. We have reserved excellent seats on the main floor. Talented singers 

direct from Broadway perform showstopper after showstopper from the King and I, Oklahoma, The Sound of Music 

and more stage musicals! Following this awesome show, our group will be delightfully entertained by an Omaha 

Culinary Tour Hostess. She will board our motor coach and tell numerous fascinating stories about Omaha’s food scene 

that keeps the history alive. The glitz and glamour of the Blackstone’s Orleans Room has faded, but the real gem of the 

famed hotel was its corned beef sandwich on rye bread. The Reuben sandwich at the Crescent Moon directly across 

the street from the historic Blackstone Hotel is exceptional. Other food entrees will also be available. The hostess will 

share stories of the creation of Blackstone Butter Brickle Ice Cream, plus many humorous stories of famous people from 

the Omaha Metro Area. Following our dinner, a stop will be made at the Coneflower Creamery. You have a choice of 

Ooey, Gooey, Bluey, St. Louie Ice Cream or Butter Brickle in a dish. Call for a brochure with more details and photos.

Mar. 1, 2020 

Aboard NCL's Pride of America 

Say “aloha” to a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. Visit 

four islands in seven days, including overnight stays in 

Maui and Kauai, which means you are on an island 

every day of your cruise. The Pride of America will 

welcome you aboard with a casual “island” vibe that 

reflects the laid back Hawaiian culture. Formal night 

on the ship means a Hawaiian shirt or sun dress. And 

NCL’s “freestyle” cruising means there are no fixed 

dining times or pre-assigned seating.

Pre-departure package is included in the tour rate, 

including airport shuttles and pre-departure overnight 

accommodations in Omaha.

The next two days you will be on the Garden Isle with

Traveler Conduct & Special Needs 

Please notify us of any special needs at the time of reservation. We will 

make all reasonable efforts to assist with your travel arrangements. 

However, it is strongly recommended that a traveling companion come 

along to help with any special needs of anyone with a disability. Allied’s 

tour directors have responsibilities for the entire group and can’t provide 

one-on-one care. This includes boarding of motor coaches, airplanes, 

cruise ships, etc. and traversing hotels, restaurants, attractions, or other 

personal needs, etc. Contact Allied if you have any questions. 

Tours are fun, but the enjoyment of the tour is based on everyone being 

friendly and cooperative. Allied reserves the right to accept or decline 

any passenger on any tour if Allied determines a passenger would be 

detrimental to the tour. Once a tour departs, any passenger disruptive 

to the group may be asked to leave the tour. Expenses to return home 

would be the responsibility of the passenger. No refunds will be issued 

for unused portions of the tour. 

Single Travelers 

Single travelers are guaranteed one seat on the motor coach and may 

be seated next to another traveler if the tour is full. 

Inspiration & Faith 

Due to tour schedules, we are unable to make any special provisions for 

worship services. Many tour directors share a “Thought for the Day,” 

verses of inspiration, or a short prayer to start the day.
