DESTINATION:THE WORLD

|

NEW HORIZONS BECKON

And a world of intriguing adventures serenely unfolds before you. This delightfully self-contained continent is a place where early morning mists whisper their songs to a torii gate … where the fresh-faced welcome of a french shopkeeper is as sweet as the pastries she offers . . . and where you’ll find the joy of life translated into a myriad of languages.

This island of calm and comfort . . . this modern-day Shangri La … is a rarefied environment rich with international cultures and cuisines, luxurious accommodations and limitless recreation. In this oasis of elegant extravagances and simple pleasures, one can spend time lavishly and be pampered shamelessly for this is a world like no other on earth. This is the ultimate vacation destination.

EPICUREAN EXCURSIONS

Travel to this world and you’ll never hunger for variety or excellence – not with a realm of restaurants that run the gustatorial gamut from outright exotic to the finest European fare! Here, you can savor culinary masterpieces created by world-renowned chefs Paul Bocuse and Roger Verge and premiere patissier Gaston Lenotre as you dine at Les Chefs de France.

Find out if the couscous at Restaurant Marrakesh tastes as good to the tongue as it sounds to the ear. Sample the fettucine that made L’Originale Alfredo di Roma famous. Or sit in the shadow of a magnificent Mayan pyramid while you dine on the most subtle of Mexican dishes at a superb replica of Mexico City’s San Angel Inn Restaurante.

One night may find you at the very top of the world – sipping champagne in elegant style. The next day you’re munching pub food at the Rose & Crown or stopping by the Biergarten for schnitzel and schnapps. And, as the evening wears on, you’ll board a regal riverboat called the Empress Lilly for a sumptuous seafood repast or a prime rib dinner!

AMUSING DIVERSIONS

Thought you’d mastered the art of browsing? Well, be prepared for an eye-opening experience in this world full of diversions – an awesome array of them in fact!

There seems no end to the rare treasures gathered from the far corners of the globe.

Here you’ll find legendary Guy La Roche fragrances … sensuous silks that seem to caress your skin and buttery soft Isanti leather goods. This is the place where you can listen to cuckoo clocks chime the time … play with tomorrow’s solar-powered toys … and try your best not to hug a cuddly Steiff teddy bear.

Watch artisans at their craft, wear the art of the Orient in the form of a delicate kimono or cradle a tiny Hummel figurine whose only reason for being is the sheer delight she gives. Soon you’ll know why even the most jaded “Bloomie” can’t resist spending an hour or two just browsing.

ITINERARY



If for you “the play’s the thing,” there’s a long list of leisure activities from which to choose. Three championship golf courses offer a beautifully-manicured challenge to accomplished and aspiring players alike. A video analysis of your game by highly qualified pros is also available. And, eleven lighted tennis courts dot the landscape to let you play into the night.

What’s a trip without a tan? In this world you’ll find a number of watery options for getting one. Set sail on azure blue lakes, water ski or whip about in a sporty mini-speedboat! Saddle up for a sunny horse-back ride then put on your suit and take an afternoon splash in a modern-day version of the “Ol’ swimmin’ hole.”

Of course, after all that exertion you expect to be pampered. And so you shall be. Sip a tall, cool drink at poolside before returning to your suite or villa, then get ready for a very entertaining evening.

Come nighttime in this world of cosmopolitan pleasures, you’ll be glad you saved some energy for the dance floor when you hear the fine sounds of a 12-piece orchestra. Or sit back and watch a Broadway-style musical revue while you sip champagne. “Going native” was never so much fun as the polynesian-style revue that’s drawing raves. And if jazz is your thing, sit in for a session at the lounge – it’s such a good room that lots of jazz legends have made it a favorite haunt.

FUN IN ALL ITS FORMS
