ABAC OFFERS SOUTH PACIFIC WONDERS TRIP

TIFTON—The land of koalas and kangaroos will be the highlighted destination for a travel package in the summer of 2006 offered by the Public Service and Business Outreach Center at Abraham Baldwin College.

Program Coordinator Vonda Fenn said the 17-day journey begins on June 1, 2006 and includes stops in Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand. The trip is open to anyone who would like to attend at a cost of $4,699 per person (double occupancy).

The South Pacific adventure includes a chartered bus from Tifton to Atlanta, round trip airfare, cancellation waiver and insurance, hotel accommodations, departure tax, and 19 meals.

From the paradise island of Fiji to the Great Barrier Reef, the trip spotlights outdoor activities such as a visit to the world’s largest colony of Little Penguins as well as cultural events such as experiencing a performance inside the historic Sydney Opera House.

The remarkable scenery in New Zealand was best showcased in the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, and travelers will have plenty of photo opportunities at Queenstown, Mt. Cook, Christchurch, and in a gondola ride to the Skyline Restaurant.
