AUGUST 2019 

Remember the Winter of 2019? 

BOOK BY AUGUST 15, 2019 

Caribbean Cruise Winter Getaway..........$75 

Dear Travel Friends, 

It was 6:50 A.M. when I got the call. “The office is in a flood evacuation zone!” 

As many Midwesterners awoke the morning of March 14, flood waters from 

snow melt and rain had risen and overflowed their banks. Our office was maybe 

100 yards from the levee and water was nearing the top. We quickly moved our 

computer towers to higher places and called off work. It created some anxious 

moments for sure. Fortunately for our office, the dikes held and we stayed dry. 

If you look back on the winter of 2019, it was cold and long. It seemed like it 

would never end! 

Want to shorten the winter of 2020? 

You can by taking an Allied tour or cruise. We have a warm weather line-up 

that will soothe your eyes, lift your spirits and make you wonder why you never 

escaped winter before. 

New tours include motor coaching to Las Vegas (average high 72), Florida’s 

Panhandle (average high also 72) or Nashville (62). Other favorite destinations 

include The Great Southwest (also 72), the Texas Coastal (average 67), or 

Savannah (average 70).

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. 

DAY 1 | Transfer to Omaha 

Pre-departure package is included in the tour rate, 

including airport shuttles and pre-departure overnight 

accommodations in Omaha.
