NEWPORT, RI, November 17, 2008.

The trips are also great for solo travelers, and single supplements are available.
The Bront"e Trail, July 26 - 31, 2009 - This new six-day, five-night trek set in Bront"e Country is the perfect escape for women looking to appreciate one of Britain's most evocative literary landscapes. Walkers will get a sense of the creative inspiration nurtured here as they explore Yorkshire's Haworth Village and several locations from Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and learn about the Bront"es' lives with expert Ann Dinsdale. Spectacular views of ruined farmhouses, picturesque valleys, and remote plains make this trip a dream for the literary- and fitness-minded. Beginning in Haworth and ending in Chatsworth, this Walk of 8 -12 miles per day is priced at $3,695 per person based on double occupancy.
Venice and the Veneto, September 27 - October 3, 2009 - An unusual twist on a Venetian holiday, this new seven-day, six-night exploration of the Veneto region begins in the medieval town of Vicenza and explores the area through the eyes of one of its most famous architects, Palladio. Walkers will wander the streets and admire the beautiful countryside while also visiting some of Palladio's greatest villas, cathedrals and bridges. The trip also includes a private boat tour and a regional Asiago cheese, grappa and Prosecco tasting. Participants will discover the opulence of the Venetian empire contrasted with a region with tunnels and trenches of World War I as well as alpine meadows and mountain villages. This walk of 7 - 10 miles per day ends in Venice and is priced at $3,995 per person based on double occupancy.
