| | | | | | Hi, March is finally here and spring is hopefully right around the corner. How has your winter treater you? It seems from Florida to Up State NY all over to California the weather has been cold, snowy and downright a pain! Have you been dreaming of getting away? Below Hermes Tours is featuring some of our exciting Summer/Fall programs. From Ireland to India we have some fantastic tours planned for you. I also wanted to take a moment and tell you about one of our travelers. Bobby who traveled with Hermes Tours to China in 2008 contacted us a few weeks ago to help him plan a trip of a lifetime. Bobby found himself with some upcoming free time and decided to fully embrace the meaning of "Carpe Diem". Together we have planned a round the world adventure. Quoting Bobby's latest calculation he will be traveling for: 56 days, visiting 13 different countries, 6 continents, and travel over 58,000 miles! I invite you to join me and follow Bobby's adventure on his Blog at: Bobby's Blog . We look forward to read about all the wonderful encounters he will make. For those of you who may not have 56 days to travel the world, I invite you to check out our website at www.hermestours.com. Most of our trips are carefully planned to minimize your time off work while maximizing your cultural adventure. Please call or email us for more details on any of our programs.
