How to start the New Year: Take an adventure vacation
If you’re an active, thrill seeker, you probably get restless looking at the world 
through a window of a fast moving vehicle or highflying airplane. You want to get out there and climb a mountain, ski a mountain, hike a mountain or dive in the ocean.
Or maybe, you want to escape the efficiency of technology and progress to stop and 
enjoy the quiet beauty of a mountain sunset or the excitement of seeing majestic wild animals. You are people who want to experience and live the excitement of you vacation by living it and breathing it.
We’re also a nation of thrill seekers. With amusement park roller coasters and 
skydivers on weekends. Catching large breakers on surfboards and skiing down a steep slope, playing rough contact sports and even bungee jumping off tall bridges.
For many of you, if we could, you’d love to raft down a raging river, trek up a 
rugged mountain path or gallop a horse across wild open plain. You love the buzz and surge of adrenaline. People may call you a daredevil and foolhardy for stretching your limits. What’s important to you is the excitement and adventure of a good Eco-Friendly vacation.
Many of you are more concerned, even obsesses with keeping your bodies healthy. That’s why you walk, run, hike, and bike to get our pulse rate up to aerobic
levels. That’s why the last thing you want to do on our vacation is slack off, sit back, and do nothing.
