Great value • No hassle • Amazing itineraries • You deserve this!
Dear UW Alumni and Friends,People always ask what we enjoy most about working within
the alumni travel business. The opportunity to see exciting places and meet wonderful new friends are favorites, but we agree it’s the value we give our travelers that really stands out.
Knowing that our trips make lasting memories and bring incredible joy to our alumni and friends is why we are proud to be involved with UW Alumni Tours. Every detail is taken care of for you, which makes traveling with UW Alumni Tours a breeze. All you have to do is relax and have fun. Plus, there’s the educational part of our tours. You don’t just “see” places, you learn about their historical and cultural background.
This year, we are thrilled about our first trip to Libya (accompanied by a UW professor), a new safari itinerary (Africa’s Wildlife), and the new Colonial South tour that focuses on southern U.S. history. Each itinerary has been carefully planned so that you get the most out of each destination. You’ll experience things you will remember forever, and you’ll do it all with fellow Huskies and UW friends.
Of course, you do not have to be a UW graduate to travel with us. The more, the merrier. Please contact either of us if you have any questions. We are here to help and are working hard to bring you the best travel experiences.
Best,
Pauline RanieriDirector, UW Alumni Tours
Susan CathcartAssistant Director, UW Alumni Tours

Who Can Travel With Us?
FAMILY VACATIONShare the fun with your family
Sharon Nelson, ’76 Samba Rhythms 2011Scandinavian Odyssey 2010 Egypt 2009
Kristin Nelson Conner Nelson Karl Nelson Scandinavian Odyssey 2010
There’s nothing like traveling with your family. We’re all so busy but getting together for this tour was a highlight of our year. It’s like we never missed a beat. Going abroad and experiencing new things, new foods and new sights with the family was a once-in-a-lifetime feeling. Thank you!
Who can travel with UW Alumni Tours?Every tour is open to UW alumni, their families, and friends of the University of Washington. You do not have to be a UW graduate or even have attended the UW to participate in our tours. But the travel program is a benefit of UW Alumni Association membership, so it is required that one person per reservation be a member of the UWAA.
Do I need a roommate? A limited number of single spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis, for an additional fee. Due to limited availability, we encourage single travelers to sign up early. You also have the option of letting us know that you’d be interested in sharing a room (and save having to pay the single supplement). We’ll let you know if we have another single traveler looking for a roommate.

SOLO TRAVELERI always feel at home with the UW tours
Janice Franett, ’65Historic Reflections 2010Croatia 2008
Going anywhere by yourself is an adventure, but I always feel at home with the UW tours. The customer service is fantastic, and the people you meet are fun to be around. I can’t even imagine what a trip would be like without these new friends. It’s the reason I came back again.
Please note: Program details and costs are based on information available on Dec. 1, 2010. They are also based on double occupancy. Dates and prices are subject to change.
