THINGS TO DO WHILE IN VANCOUVER, BC.

Whether you are a new tourist to Vancouver or a returning visitor, we have tried to arrange something for you. If you play golf, Mapuaworld Committee in collaboration with NAMABC Golf Club have planned a golf game where you can play. For members and spouses who prefer to see our beautiful city, we have lined up several tourist spots for you to discover. If you merely want to pass the time, we have chosen a hotel within a Metrotown Shopping Center which is conveniently located to catch the skytrain that connects your hotel to downtown Vancouver.

OPTIONAL TOURS

Sunday, August 1, 2004 – Alaska Cruise

CRUISE THE "INSIDE PASSAGE" TO ALASKA

Come sail the Inside Passage and wind through a sea of eternity. Here, jagged peaks rise higher and higher. Fjords carve their way through sheer rock. Tidewater glaciers ebb restlessly to and fro and a vast archipelago of tiny, evergreen islands float on the icy brine.

You might see a slab of ice hundreds of feet high crack off the face of a glacier and crash into beautiful blue waters. You might also see whales, sea lions and bears.

The beauty of Alaska is incomparable. All the while you are experiencing the wonders of the coast you will be enjoying a 7 night voyage on one of the most modern and luxurious cruise liners.

THE NORWEGIAN SUN
AUGUST 1, 2004

One of the newest in the Norwegian fleet, the Sun is only 2 years old, holds 2002 passengers and is 77,104 tons. You'll enjoy Norwegian's new "freestyle cruising". This gives you, the passenger, the choice of where to dine, when to dine, with whom and at a large or small table. This is an ideal way to extend your reunion time with your many friends by having the chance to dine with different people throughout the cruise.
