Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Sunnyland Travelers,
Do you remember that old Beachboys’ song, Kokomo?
“Aruba, Jamaica, ooooh, I want to take ya’ to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama, Key Largo, Montego…“
That’s Sunnyland Tours!!
We can show you the world – Europe – Australia – the wonderful continent of Africa – the up and coming economies of China and India with their ancient pasts. We have always shown you the United States and will continue to do so with the best tours available, but now – we can show you the world! With Sunnyland’s acquisition of Exec-U-Travel of Springfield, we are now a full service travel agency. We’ve always been number one in escorted tours for the Ozarks and now we can provide you with all of your independent travel as well.
2009 promises to be a great year for Sunnyland’s customers. We are offering many new motor coach tours in addition to our regular favorite tours, such as DC Summer Vacation, Railroadin’ the Rockies and our ever popular fall foliage tours. Next year look for our new tour to Texas with the Bluebonnets & Hill Country in the Spring. We’re also proud to offer the best National Parks tour available this coming June. This fantastic tour visits our nations most popular national parks and features hotel stays in all of the parks as part of the experience. We’re also offering a first for Sunnyland – a NASCAR experience at the Brickyard in Indianapolis. And if that doesn’t get your heart pumpin’, then try our Amazing Triangle which features the historic locales of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.
For those of you looking for adventure not on a motor coach try our Copper Canyon adventure in northern Mexico near the sea of Cortez. We’re also offering a Mexican Riviera Cruise which promises to provide exciting beaches, quaint shopping and fabulous food aboard the Sapphire Princess. Have you ever thought about a trip to Europe, but hate the thought of flying back and forth? Well, join Sunnyland as we fly to Europe to tour the Mediterranean aboard the Ruby Princess, but instead of making that long and uncomfortable flight back to the states, we simply stay on the ship and cross the Atlantic all the way to Ft. Lauderdale. It’s a lot easier to fly home from Ft. Lauderdale than it is from Rome!
If you’re into scenic beauty and trains (who isn’t?) then join us for our Canadian Rockies by Rail as we board the Rocky Mountaineer in Vancouver, BC and tour westward to Calgary. In between we see magnificent scenery and stay at some of the best hotels in North America – Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and the “Castle in the Mountains” Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.
If you can’t get enough, then we can send you anywhere in the world that you want to go. We are a full service travel agency and can get you the best values for Hawaii, the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico all-inclusive resorts, cruise lines and much, much more. Give one of our travel counselors a call and we will be happy to design that custom vacation just for you!
We look forward to seeing you on one of our trips in 2009!
Happy Traveling,
Stephen Brock
Executive Director
