EXTREME VACATION OF THE WEEK

Are you a nature lover? Have you always dreamed of visiting Alaska? Do you want a large stuffed animal towering over your family room? Here’s your chance to satisfy those desires with a grizzly bear hunt in Alaska. You’ll spend your evenings on a 46 foot cruising boat and your days viewing, photographing, and shooting at the coastal brown (grizzly) bear. Could you ask for a better souvenir?

DIFFERENT, BUT NOT SO EXTREME VACATION OF THE WEEK

If you’re the type who prefers to leave your animals where you find them, how about a trip to Antarctica? Not too many years ago such an outing would have been considered extreme. Now, with a number of cruise ships stopping by during the summer (Jan.-Mar.), it’s merely exotic. But oh how exotic it is. With glaciers and penguins galore, this is a cruise like no other.
