Fantastic - and not too exotic foods. Warm, friendly people in the streets. Honestly, I'm more excited about this tour now that I've been there, then I was before. A Five-Star tour of the Orient - ALL gluten-free, of course. Our tour guide will be one of the world's most respected, Michael Kong of Lotus Tours. Over 40 years of company experience. See all the things you've heard about, but never thought you would get to see - Mount Fuji, The Bullet Train, The Great Wall of China, The Terra Cotta Warriors, The Gorges of The Yangtze River (Most will be flooded starting in 2004 - due to the new Three Gorges Dam), The Forbidden City, Victoria Peak, and so much more. All this and Unforgettable Gluten-Free food. * * * * * NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA GF MINI - GETAWAY OCTOBER 12 ~15, 2003 Immediately following the CSA/USA Conference in Buffalo, NY we'll make our way to the always awesome Niagara Falls.
