"I have been fortunate to enjoy four trips with doctors-on-tour since 2009 -- to Ecuador, Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos, India and Bali. All these tours were wonderful. Well-organized, excellent accommodations, top notch guides, remarkable CME experiences that broaden one's outlook on medicine and really great leaders of the tours. You should seriously consider taking one of these exotic trips. Beats lying on a beach!”
... New Zealand is
a unique land of breathtaking scenery that includes some of nature’s most stupendous ideas, from flightless birds to gigantic kauri trees.
Superlatives abound here and visitors may struggle to adequately describe
everything they see and experience.
Thrust into the world’s spotlight by the success
of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the country has seen a massive
surge in visitor numbers and continues to reap the benefits of this cinematic
triumph; and if the country overwhelmed and wowed viewers on the big screen,
it’ll leave them breathless when they arrive and explore its remote, rugged and
remarkable landscape in reality. New Zealand is deceptively diverse and complex,
punching well above its weight in terms of what it can offer to both the
first-time and repeat visitor.
It is a country made up of two major islands, simply
called North and South Islands. They contrast in not only terrain and physical
features but also in character and attractions and our 14 day tour will show you.the highlights of both islands.
And if you're looking
for some R&R after, how about treating yourself to 5 days in the tropical
South Pacific paradise of the Cook Islands....
