Steppin' Out Adventures
We are very excited to be getting involved in local events and establishing some great partnerships.
* FINAL CALL: Ski trip registration closes January 31st. Last chance for Southern Brazil and Caribbean Cruises. See right
column.
* Where's Robin?
I am touched that so many of you ask which trips I will personally be leading, so I'll tell you that my plans for 2010
include Vail, New Orleans, Israel (June), Summer Telluride, Ethiopia or Tanzania and Morocco. But I have made sure that my favorite
guides are leading the Peru, Brazil and South Africa trips.
* Who's Who in the Steppin' Out community. More and more people have been asking me if I know a bookkeeper, a computer guru, a
doctor, and due to the economic times, more and more people are going off on their own doing some really interesting consulting...
so I decided to start a directory that will be posted on the website (an average of 1500 distinct visitors a day), and in my emails,
which goes to 16,000 people. $25 for an entry. First 100 to sign up will get 2 additional listings for free. Request a directory
form.
* Details to come:
Steppin' Out Meet and Greet in LA
Feb. 11. Location ideas welcomed!
* DO GOOD ADVENTURES
Our new division focuses on volunteer trips, missions, and celebrating life cycle events through events and trips that do
good. Our premiere program is the Caring Generations program for families, but we hope to get everyone involved with links and
information on how you can do good in your daily life.

OTHER TRIPS WORTH MENTIONING...
EXPERIENCE INDIA ON AN EXOTIC ADVENTURE
April 8-22
A colleague is taking a small group to experience KUMBH MELA IN HARIDWAR INDIA. The Kumbh Mela is one of the most sacred days for
Hindus to bathe at certain locations in the Ganges River.Tented cities are built along the river and pilgrims will arrive from all
over India and the rest of the world. The Kumbh Mela, for the rest of us, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is a wonder to see
this crowd of merchants and buyers, musicians and performers, and seekers and holy men dressed in every imaginable costume - from
the finest clothes to the half or full naked "naga saddhus". As the sun rises on the Ganges this colorful ceremony is an exotic and
unforgettable sight. In the evenings the ghats become breath takingly beautiful with thousands of marigolds and offerings floating
in the waters of Ganges. The trip also includes a visit to India's first national park, Corbett Tiger Reserve, Taj Mahal and India's
Ghost City. If you are interested in this unique trip, call or email us for more information.
