CRUISE TO HAWAII WITH VIEW INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION
announcement

     This year, the chosen destination is Hawaii--a land of "aloha" and warm 
tropical breezes. We are sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line's (NCL) PRIDE OF 
AMERICA that sails round trip out of Honolulu. The ship departs on Saturday, 
February
23rd. Sunday will be spent in Hilo, Hawaii from 8am to 6pm. Monday and Tuesday 
will be in lovely Kahului, Maui. Wednesday morning, the ship will dock in Kona, 
Hawaii. Thursday and part of Friday will be spent in Nawilwili, Kauai. Maybe 
someone will spot one of the stars of the TV show LOST! Did You know that the 
show is filmed in Kauai? Friday morning, we'll be back in Honolulu to await a 
flight home or optional aditional days on Oahu.

     There are three options in cabin accommodations as follows:
* Inside Cabin (Category K): $1309.99
* Oceanview Cabin (Category G Obstructed oceanview): $1421.98
* Balcony Cabin (Category BF): $1964.79
These prices are per person and based on two people in a cabin. They include
The cruise, all port charges, taxes, government fees, pre-paid gratuities,
And full escort. If you book on or before June 1, receive as a bonus:
* $25 shipboard credit per inside cabin
* $50 shipboard credit per oceanview cabin
* $75 shipboard credit per balcony cabin
*  Also, if a third or fourth passenger joins the cabin, each one will receive 
from $25 to $35 shipboard credit.

     The term full escort means that for about every eight blind passengers, 
there will be a friendly elbow or pair of eyes to provide help as needed. Note 
that our travel agent and VIEW International are arranging for this and not 
NCL. The Pride of America has accommodations for wheelchairs and guide dogs are 
welcome. There are also activities for children on board the ship.

     Most of the group will be staying two days after the cruise in Honolulu. 
Our travel agent has arranged group rates at The Park Shore Hotel; which is 
located right across the
street from Waikiki Beach. Rates start at $119 per night per room. A visit
to Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center are planned post-cruise 
activities
for those who stay after the cruise.

     Our last cruise to the Caribbean was incredible. We were able to touch and 
hold sea turtles, visit a Mayan house, climb a Mayan ruin, encounter dolphins, 
shop for souvenirs and other activities too numerous to mention. Onboard the 
ship, there will be special activities geared just for our
group. On the last cruise, everybody ooohed and aaahed over their first 
opportunity to look closely at an ice carving and melon carving. This trip will 
be not only fun but educational too.

     At each port, you may choose from a variety of tours and activities (for 
an additional charge). VIEW is working on setting up tours that will feature as 
many hands on experiences as possible. Your airfare to Hawaii and trip 
insurance are additional. Speak to Sue for
help on either of those. The deposit for this once-in-a-lifetime vacation is
$350.00 per person. The deposit is to be paid by check or through PayPal. The 
final
payment can be made in increments or in one lump sum by December 4, 2007 via
money order or credit card. 

Won't you join us? There is limited availability to cabin space. Call Sue at
Cruise Planners toll free at (800) 847-3460 to ask your questions and make your 
deposit. Within the next week or so, there will be more information at
