  Eugene, Oregon, hosts. Probably third week in June. No details yet. $75 /person deposit.

• WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Berlin, in the newly renovated state-of-the-art 1936 Olympic Stadium. One of the planet’s great capitals, Berlin is a city of extraordinary attractions---a tourist mecca. The current deposit requirement is $1500/person and we’ll be taking more than 300 fans. Great optional extensions: 1) Prague, Vienna, Budapest; 2) Germany, Switzerland, with the Weltklasse in Zurich . The basic tour dates are arrival on August 13 and departure on August 24. Our three confirmed hotels are the Hilton and the Maritim Pro Arte, and Art'Otel Berline Kudamm, all on the S- or U-Bahn line to the stadium with no changes. Click here for more details.

• WINTER GAMES

Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The dates are February 12-28, and we'll offer various length-of-stay options based on 6-day units. We're still in the planning stages, but the deposit requirement is $50 per person. T&FN has operated two previous Winter Games tours, the last being to Calgary. As a wild guess, a 6-night stay, with lodging, ticket package, transport as needed, tour functions, etc., should be about $4,000/person.
