John and Terry Thies

Book by April 27 and save $500 per couple!

Dear ISBA members,
We invite you to join us on our Fall 2012 ISBA President’s Trip – a magnificent tour of China!

Take a moment away from your busy day, close your eyes and picture yourself in a land steeped in thousands of years of history. Picture a place where the echoes of distant empires can still be heard above the urban roar of modern technology, where natural landscapes stand in stark and beautiful contrast to contemporary cityscapes. You are in a land rich in tradition and ripe with possibility.

See yourself in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Shanghai admiring the reflections of the city in the Huangpu River while strolling along the famous Bund. Listen to the chatter of colorful markets filled with unexpected treasures, savor the refined flavors of a dim sum lunch, and let the floral aromas of ancient gardens wash over you. Float along the legendary Yangtze River and let time, ancient villages, cascading waterfalls and breathtaking gorges pass you by. Find yourself encountering a life-size Terracotta Army, more than 7,000 warriors unearthed after thousands of years. Imagine walking through Tiananmen Square and strolling the ancient streets of Beijing, where skyscrapers and temples stand side-by-side overlooking locals practicing the age-old traditions of kite-flying and Tai Chi. See yourself ascending the Great Wall of China, 4,000 miles of history unrolling at your feet, or gazing up at the Temple of Heaven, a masterpiece of Ming Architecture. Picture China, an exotic land that offers a rich kaleidoscope of cultural treasures not found anywhere else.

We have arranged an itinerary that features excursions that highlight the extraordinary landscapes of China – all included. Plus, if you make your reservations prior to April 27, 2012, you can save $500 per couple. Space is limited and sure to sell out quickly, so make your reservations soon. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the magnificent treasures of China while traveling with fellow ISBA members on this President’s Trip. We hope to have you with us!


Sincerely,

President-Elect John E. Thies and Terry Thies
