Day 1 |
Wednesday |
|
Welcome to the Emerald City! |
|
Morning and Afternoon |
|
Guests arrive throughout the morning
and afternoon at SeaTac International Airport. Take the afternoon to settle
in to your beautiful accommodations. |
|
Evening |
|
We gather in the hotel and get to know one
another while enjoying a private welcome reception and orientation. Later,
we ascend Seattle's icon, the Space Needle, for a dinner that is out of this
world. And if we're so inclined after dinner, we can always go check out
some of the city's great gay bars and clubs. |

Thursday |
|
Life
is a Cabaret |
|
Morning |
|
We'll meet in the hotel lobby after breakfast
and stroll to the Pike Place Market.
"The Market" as we like to call it, with its cracked walkways and uneven
cobblestone streets, the scent of sweet peas mingling with Dungeness crabs
and spicy teas, where street musicians compete with "free sample!" is
considered the soul of Seattle. |
|
Afternoon |
|
This afternoon, we
roam the subterranean passages that once were the main roadways and
first-floor storefronts of old downtown Seattle. This is Pioneer Square,
where artists, bookstores, galleries and coffee shops now fill the spaces
once inhabited by the founding pioneers of the city. |
|
Evening |
|
Tonight you may choose to enjoy a truly magical optional evening with
Treatro Zinzani. Put on your best feather boa, douse yourself in
glitter and dress to the nines. For dinner this evening, we're off to '"the
place where the Moulin Rouge meets Cirque du Soleil." Dinner and dreams,
indeed. |

Friday |
|
Tea
for two, and two for tea |
|
Morning |
|
After breakfast, guests choosing this
fabulous option will gather in the lobby.
From sea to sky, we depart by seaplane for Victoria, BC. where First Nation
totem poles, heritage architecture and afternoon tea all coexist in Canada's
westernmost city and the capital of the province of British Columbia.
|
|
Afternoon |
|
Henry James once said, "There are few hours
in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as
afternoon tea." In Victoria you'll discover
for yourself why "taking tea" is such a grand experience when we arrive at
the historic Empress Hotel. Afterwards, we board our seaplane and head back
to Seattle. |
|
Evening |
|
Tonight, dinner is on your own. Your Tour
Director will be happy to make recommendations. |

Ahoy! |
|
Morning and Afternoon |
|
The "Love Boat" has
nothing on what you're in store for today if you choose this optional add-on. The annual Queen City Cruise is
the biggest,
loudest, and
most outrageous
gay party of Seattle's summer season. |
|
Evening |

This evening, enjoy
dinner on your own. Your Tour Director will be happy to make suggestions for
you. |
