Dec 2-10 • AAA Member Rate: $2,999Rate is per person (double occupancy), is subject to availability at time of booking and includes flights (Philadelphia-Frankfurt, Munich-Philadelphia), roundtrip airport/hotel transfers, motorcoach trans-portation, accommodations, 13 meals, luggage handling (1 bag/person), taxes/gratuities for included features and services of a AAA Tour Manager in Germany (if minimum-participation goal is met). Ad-ditional airline fees for baggage may apply; contact your travel agent for details.
Experience Old World holiday-season tra-ditions! Germany’s many unique Christmas markets and fairs, a tradition begun in the Late Middle Ages, are popular because of their en-chanting festive atmosphere. Aromas of roast-ing chestnuts, savory sausages and freshly baked goods fill the air. Festively decorated, boutique-lined streets and stall-lined town centers brim with locally hand-made, high-quality crafts, toys, wood carv-ings and delicate ornaments.
Enjoy this escorted tour’s convenience and efficiency by spending 4 nights in Nurem-berg and 3 in Munich. You’ll comfortably “settle in,” taking short rides each day to the mar-kets and landmarks surround-ing the 2 base cities; forget about packing and unpacking each day!
Start in Nuremberg, with a tour featuring views of the im-perial castle (Kaiserburg) and the site of the Nuremberg Ral-lies. Then visit your very first Christkindlmarkt.
Over the next few days, set out from Nurem-berg to the historic and charming Bavarian towns (and their Christmas markets, of course!) of Rothenburg ob der Tauber (with its well-pre-served medieval center), Bamberg (its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site), Bayreuth (best known for its association with composer
Richard Wagner, who lived here for a time) and Regens-burg (also a UNESCO World Heritage site).
Journey to Munich, Bavar-ia’s capital; enjoy a sightsee-ing tour, a Christmas mar-ket and dinner at Ratskellar Restaurant. An excursion to Neuschwanstein, the pal-ace upon which Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle is mod-eled, is a memorable experi-ence. Continue on to Kempten (Germany’s oldest town) and Augsburg (a university town) to explore their holiday mar-kets. Return to Munich for a brewery tour/tasting and a farewell dinner at the famous Hofbräuhaus.

Be a snowbird & escape winter for 28 nights:Rent a furnished Florida “nest” for your family and / or your friends!
Just because you don’t own a home in Florida is no reason you can’t be a “snowbird” and live the leisurely (and warm!) life-style of the Sunshine State for 28 nights (Saturday-to-Saturday weeks) in 2016. AAA Travel has just what you need: 4-week Saturday-to-Satur-day rentals of a roomy furnished vacation home in peaceful Port Charlotte!
On the southwest Gulf Coast just 100 miles south of Tampa and 65 miles north of Naples, Port Charlotte is a premier ecotourism destination that’s off the beaten path and free of crowds, yet offers sailing, boating, fishing, birding, shopping, dining, arts & more.
One of Sail magazine’s 10 Greatest Places to Sail, the Charlotte Harbor area offers na-ture adventures like canoeing/kayaking on 53 trails, exploring 5 national wild-life refuges and discovering prime birding opportunities. There are more than 70 parks & preserves, 16 golf courses and numerous sporting events and recreational facilities. Cultural pursuits include visual arts, theater, dance and music (Port Charlotte is home to the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra). No wonder Money magazine called it Best Place to Retire.
Choose from a selection of attractively landscaped homes, and use yours as a base from which to explore the local area’s uncrowded beaches and/or the many attractions within comfortable driving distance. Or just settle in, take advantage of the screened-in swim-ming pool and laugh at winter back home!
Get away from it all...or invite family and/or friends to share some Florida fun with you. These 3-bedroom/2-bathroom (some with 2.5) homes can comfortably sleep 6 (bedding/linens provided). They feature fully equipped kitchens (dishwasher, stove/oven, refrigera-tor/freezer, microwave) and dining areas for everyone to gather in...screened-in heated pools for swimming, lounging and loafing! Living rooms feature entertainment centers (with cable). Optional weekly cleaning/linen service is available for an additional fee.
Imagine not having to shovel snow this winter...and watching the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico instead. Forget about bundling up just to go to the corner store...and slipping into a soothing pool after dining on your patio instead. With AAA’s help, you can look forward to winter this year; contact a AAA travel agent now!
Rates vary by home selected, are subject to availability at time of booking and include accommodations, taxes & fees and pool heating fee. Visit AAA.com/HomeRentals.
