Dear Field Museum Member, 



Have you ever considered a Field Museum tourt 



I'd like to tell you about our tours — from "Bon Voyage!" to "Wel- 

 come Home!" We feel our tours are exceptional because each has 

 one of the Museum's curators as a tour leader, and this individual 

 takes an active part in tour preparation. 



There are many things to see and do before you're really on your 

 way Before any tour departs, we plan an Orientation Meeting for 

 all the tour participants. This gives everyone the opportunity to meet 

 the curator who will lead the tour, and also to hear an informative 

 lecture, illustrated with slides. It also gives the travellers a chance to 

 ask questions pertaining to the natural and/or social history of the 

 tour. We go over the itinerary, and I am always there to answer 

 questions about logistics. 



In March/April of this year we featured a New Zealand tour, which 

 coincided with the Museum's "Te Maori" exhibition. The exhibit 

 provided an informative lecture series, as well as the opportunity to 

 view outstanding artifacts — an exciting introduction to the New 

 Zealand trip! 



If you see an announced tour which particularly appeals to you, just 

 send an advance deposit of $50 per person to the Field Museum's 

 Tours office, to ensure your place. You will be notified about all 

 upcoming activities related to the tour, and the deposit is completely 

 refundable should you change your mind prior to the first installment 

 payment. 



Advanced planning assures a successful and memorable trip. Pass- 

 ports, visas, inoculations, insurance and currency rates must be 

 taken into consideration. What's the mean temperature and average 

 rainfall^ The age-old questions of what to pack and who else is 

 goingt Is there a detailed itinerary, and can you find a reading list to 

 find out what you'd really like to see(- How can you be reached 

 during an emergency (■ Window or aisled All these arrangements are 

 completed for you by our office. 



When you travel with Field Museum, you travel with a purpose. 

 Your Tour Leader is a constant source of information about the coun- 

 try's flora, fauna, and cultural heritage. Someone is always there to 

 regulate or adjust transportation, lodging, and meals.
