The fantastic thing about this recipe is that all it takes is to marinate the salmon and pop in the oven when your guests arrive. Serve with noodles in a peanut butter dressing for a tasty main course!

DANG, it's hot in herrr! Like, to the point where walking literally one block equals a giant sweat moustache, runny mascara, and the equivalent red-faceness from an intense 30-minute jogging sesh. It's triple digits out there, people. Luckily, there are some ways to beat the heat and STILL look cute—our favorite way is with an oversized sun hat! Not only does it keep you cool during a scorcher, but it's instant SPF. Plus, it adds a too-cool-for-school '70s vibe to any ensemble in a snap. Check out how three cute-as-a-button (and non-sweaty) fashion bloggers sported their sunny chapeaus!

"A beta version of NAGWare f95 Release 5.1 has been used in the preparation of a new book. Author Stephen J. Chapman says "NAG is way ahead of other PC Fortran vendors in implementing the object-oriented features of Fortran 2003 and its tool has been invaluable in preparing the new materials in this book." Fortran 95/2003 for Scientists and Engineers, 3rd ed. is published by McGraw-Hill, ISBN 978-0-07-319157-7.
> > Does anyone have a fair idea about which of the various Fortran > > compilers around are now "closest" (however that is to be understood) to > > having implemented the full F2003 standard?
> I'd guess NAG. Quoting the June 6, 2007 issue of NAGNews (a free email > newsletter from NAG),
Ths single thing that I miss most in NAG is allocatable scalars. That is a pretty big limitation on the object oriented stuff, as anything polymorphic has to be either allocatable or pointer. You can, of course, always use pointers, but that has a host of the usual problems, which pretty much destroy many of the advantages of the object oriented stuff in my view. Polymorphic things mostly "want" to be allocatable. And, of course, you can make everything arrays, but that's not exactly viable for real work or anything other than demonstrating basic principles, in my view.
Plus, with the allocatable scalars, you get variable-length strings done "right", or any way a whole lot better.
I haven't tried it, not having a Cray handy here at home :-), but the feature table in the latest Fortran Forum makes Cray look pretty much in front at the moment.

Patriarch of Jerusalem speaks to US leaders on recognition of Palestine
Catholic World News - September 21, 2011
Archbishop Fouad Twal, the Latin-rite Catholic Patriarch of Jerusalem, has been in Washington this week to speak with American leaders about the proposal for UN recognition of a Palestinian state.
The Patriarch did not disclose what he planned to say in meetings on September 21 with White House officials.
The Vatican has carefully avoided taking a position on the Palestinian bid for UN recognition. But on his visit to the Holy Land in 2009, Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the "legitimate aspirations" of the Palestinian people, and confirmed the long-standing support of the Holy See for an independent Palestinian state.

text: So I have a half-elf player who plans on having the Siberys Mark of Storm. She was raised with pirates and is, herself, a pirate and treasure hunter. When her mark manifests, I'm trying to figure out how House Lyrander will react. My assumption is that the first course of action would be to try and convince the heir to join the house officially and bring her into the fold, teaching her their ways. I'm certain that this is something the character would immediately rebuff. What would their response to such a rejection be? Heirs of Siberys are powerful and dangerous to have running about unattended. Would House Lyrandar eventually come to the point of hiring, say, Phiarlan of Thuranni to assassinate a rogue Heir of Siberys?

"Enabling your people to communicate fully - no matter where they are and what device they have available."
Enhancing your communications with unified communication solutions
Unified communication solutions help make your channels of communication as efficient and effective as possible. And by enabling your people to communicate fully - no matter where they may be and what device they have available – your business is taken to the next level.
Unified communications solutions help you to:
- Access information as, when and how you need it. All data is highly accessible, so users can access the information they require from multiple devices – be that a mobile phone, PC, laptop, web browser, PDA or even a conventional telephone.
- Gain technological insights. The best unified communications solutions go one step further, using intelligent technology to determine where a recipient is and the best way to contact them at a given point in time.
- Break down communication barriers. Providing your employees, suppliers and clients with flexible access to you and each other, unified communications solutions break down the traditional barriers to communication, accelerating the productivity of your workforce – keeping your business one step ahead of the competition.
- Simplify your IT processes and maximise your investment. With easy integration with your existing telecoms systems, unified communications solutions can be developed around your existing infrastructure, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations. And untangling the complexity of your systems to maximise your investment.
- Attract and retain customers. Unified communications solutions help your customers reach the right person at the right time, using their preferred method of choice. By surpassing their expectations in the delivery of exceptional customer service, unified communications solutions help build customer loyalty and take advantage of sales opportunities.
- Retain the best employees. Giving your people the tools they require to do their jobs properly, without unnecessary frustration, unified communications solutions help ensure maximum efficiency and job satisfaction.
Is this suitable for your business?
Unified communications solutions are suitable for all business types but particularly:
- Those with a highly mobile, geographically dispersed workforce and/or operations.
- Businesses which require a high level of customer service and interaction.
- Those with a demand for instant access to information, regardless of location or available devices.
- Organisations that want to lower their carbon footprint and improve Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) procedures through virtual collaboration and communication methods.
- Those that want to reduce operational and travel costs whilst improving productivity, collaboration and communication.
JMC has an extensive portfolio of unified communications technologies that can be integrated into the majority of IT networks and telephony systems.
For many years large enterprises and public sector organisations have taken advantage of the productivity gains and lower costs of ownership that modern IT based telephony systems (typically known as IP telephony or VOIP) can deliver. However, such systems have traditionally come at a substantially higher capital costs than legacy, old-style PBX phone systems. Today, with the cost of many new technologies gradually decreasing, and IT-based telephony being no exception, these systems are now within reach of organisations of all sizes. Sharing data infrastructure that already exists, such systems are competitively priced and offer all the functionality you would expect of a contemporary phone system including:
- Auto attendant
- Voicemail
- Hunt groups, plus much more
All at a price that makes a compelling proposition for systems of eight or more users.
JMC partners with Cisco, the world's largest supplier of IP-based telephony, implementing and supporting their capable and functional high specification systems.
The benefits of IT-based telephony systems include:
- Flexibility of office location
- The ability to work from home
- Free calls between remote offices and remote workers
- Integration with other applications running on your network
Those organisations using Microsoft Exchange as the core of their messaging system, can easily integrate it with a telephony system as part of a broader Unified Communications strategy, further reducing your costs. What's more, Exchange can be used as your voicemail system, presenting your voicemail within Microsoft Outlook in an easily managed way.This includes all the Outlook options you are already familiar with. Furthermore, messages are easily played back via your PC, desk phone, mobile or any other phone.
Options available through integration with Exchange include:
- Auto attendant
- Company directory selected by voice
- Email reading
- Voice-activated diary management
In fact, at JMC we have the ability to integrate almost any legacy PBX with Exchange, so you may not need to buy a new telephony system at all – the ultimate low cost solution.

Travel to Manitoba in "Polar Bear Season" on Earth Journeys, created by Tauck and BBC Earth, when these great white carnivores lumber across the plains toward Hudson Bay to prepare for winter. Get up close to astonishing Arctic life in Churchill: snowy owls, white foxes, a cavorting cub, Inuit sculpture, the beauty of a fire-killed log, and the amazing sled dogs. Be immersed in the Earth Journeys experience, featuring BBC Earth on-tour films and a specialist wildlife filming kit. Late October and November is polar bear season in Churchill, Manitoba, the start of the long-awaited migration of these great white creatures. Over icy rivers and across the subarctic plains, they make their way towards the coast and the seal-rich waters of the Hudson Bay to fulfill their need for food for the winter ahead. Normally elusive, these bears are plentiful in this remote location of northern Canada at this time of the year, giving travelers seeking an up-close look at arctic life an exciting glimpse into their world. You'll stay in a cozy lodge where family-style meals, warm camaraderie and two-footed locals share stories about Hudson Bay history, past and present, in front of a crackling fire. You'll also learn more about Manitoba and early fur-trading history during a special private evening with the Hudson's Bay Company of Adventurers at the Manitoba Museum... at a presentation by an Arctic photographer... at a dog sledding demonstration... on a dog sled ride and much more. Embrace your inner explorer on an adventurous Manitoba vacation!
Our knowledgeable travel are here to answer your questions and help book your next trip - call us today at
Please fill in the form below to view your free Tauck eBrochure!
Welcome to Winnipeg
After an included transfer from Winnipeg Airport, your Manitoba vacation adventure begins at 2:00 PM at the Inn at the Forks. Discover why Manitoba's capital city is often called the "Gateway to the West" during an afternoon sightseeing tour. Join us this evening for a Tauck Exclusive – a private, after-hours cocktail reception and dinner at the Manitoba Museum, housing artifacts donated by the famous Hudson's Bay Company, one of the oldest commercial enterprises in the world and deeply intertwined with the history of Manitoba. The highlight of the museum is the historic ship the Nonsuch, a replica of the 17th-century vessel responsible for the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670. You'll get an introduction to cultural traditions of the First Nations at a dance performance this evening.
Inn at the Forks
Private charter flight to Churchill
Everyone's up early today for a private charter flight to Churchill, "Polar Bear Capital of the World," accessible only by boat, plane or train – population approximately 950+! A guided tour upon arrival includes the village of Churchill – isolated in its remote location in northern Canada but thriving with Arctic wildlife, from waterfowl, beluga whales, seals and polar bears to vestiges of its position as a grain exporting town. It is along the shores of Hudson Bay, situated at the mouth of the Churchill River, at the juncture of two eco-regions – the boreal forest to the south and the Arctic tundra to the north. Your accommodations for the next three nights are at the Lazy Bear Lodge, the largest log building in Manitoba. It is built in a style reminiscent of the fur trading era, handcrafted from fire-killed logs. Dinner tonight is in the lodge, where the excitement for your upcoming Manitoba vacation adventures really heats up!
Lazy Bear Lodge
The Polar Bears of Churchill
Climb aboard a specially designed tundra vehicle for a full-day excursion into the heart of bear country in search of the magnificent "Polar Bears of Churchill." Each autumn, small groups of polar bears migrate from frigid inland locations to Churchill, the staging area for their winter food-hunting season; today you'll see them in their natural habitat. From the safety of your vehicle, you'll have unrestricted views of the bears as they go about their daily business, so keep your camera at the ready. Your expert naturalist guide shares insights about the conservation efforts under way to protect these beautiful animals from environmental and other issues that threaten their survival. You'll never forget what you see and what you learn today; it is definitely a Manitoba vacation highlight! After dinner at the lodge this evening, a well-known arctic photographer gives a special presentation featuring his work – you'll find your armchair travels memorable!
A day in the Arctic wonderland outside of Churchill
First up – visit the Eskimo Museum to view one of Canada's oldest, and most comprehensive, collection of Inuit artifacts and sculpture. Indigenous peoples have lived out here for centuries, and the museum displays one of Canada's finest collections of Inuit art and artifacts, revealing insights about their hearty lifestyle. Head out for another half-day on the subarctic plains as our naturalist points out the local wildlife. White snowy owls with a four- to five-foot wing span perch on high, falcons cruise over bushes, white arctic foxes trot across the flats, all looking for unsuspecting prey like lemmings, who happen to be the lowest creature on the food chain out here. Warm up by a roaring fire back at your lodge tonight.
Dogs, sledding & a flight back to Winnipeg
Your Manitoba vacation continues with a closer look at the sport of dog sledding, a popular local diversion out here in the Manitoba wilderness. See a demonstration by dog trainers, then climb aboard a sled yourself for a ride with your canine drivers – another amazing day on the tundra. A private charter flight brings you back to Winnipeg this afternoon for a final overnight stay and farewell reception and dinner at the Inn at the Forks.
Journey Home
Your Manitoba vacation adventure ends in Winnipeg. Fly home anytime; a transfer is included from the Inn at the Forks to Winnipeg Airport. Please allow 3 hours for flight check-in at the airport.
Let Tauck reserve your flights
Traveling with Tauck ensures more than a memorable travel experience; it also enables you to take advantage of additional "do it for you" travel services that take the hassle out of arranging them yourself! As an added service, we can make flight arrangements for your journey, if your travels originate in the United States, offering you a number of welcome advantages. With Tauck, you can:
What's more, if you purchase Tauck's Guest Protection, you'll receive a refund should you need to cancel your flights due to covered reasons. Another great reason to buy your air from Tauck!
Tauck Guests enjoy complimentary Internet access in guest rooms!
Throughout the centuries, European fur traders, buffalo hunters, and railway pioneers made "The Forks" at the junction of the Assinboine and Red rivers "the" place to meet; today, the Inn at the Forks boutique hotel is the only hotel in this National Historic Site. You'll feel welcomed from the moment you enter, as the staff is known for their friendliness and gracious hospitality. Characterized by casual luxury, the Inn at the Forks puts your well-being first. Every guest room features a soothing contemporary motif, highlighted with works by local artists. A meal at the Current Restaurant and Lounge boasts a contemporary Canadiana dining experience – and for the utmost in relaxation and therapeutic treatments, the Riverstone Spa features escape packages that leave you feeling rejuvenated. There's no better choice to begin and end this journey!
A visit to Churchill, the "Polar Bear Capital of the World," is just the start of one of the greatest adventures in the world today. Comfortable, cozy, rustic, simple, family owned – all of these words describe the Lazy Bear Lodge. The lodge itself is rustic, consisting of handcrafted log cabins; all rooms have a private bath / shower. Dinners around the authentic stone fireplace set the stage for story swapping – and you'll have plenty to swap with fellow travelers after a day in the tundra. Meals are memorable and homemade; if specialty dishes such as Caribou Pepper Steak or Sirloin of Muskox Rouladen don't appeal, there's always more international fare like Bruschetta Grilled Chicken or Fillet of Cod, Maui-style. Buns are baked fresh in a stone baking kiln, and the chef creates homemade desserts. No alcohol is served at the lodge but you are welcome to have a bottle in your room. Owner Wally Daudrich, an excellent naturalist / historian, enriches your stay with insights and information that reflect his deep love for this remote part of the world.
Many Tauck travelers prefer arriving at their destination a day before
their Tauck journey begins, or often extend a stay at the end of their
trip. As a service, Tauck will make hotel reservations before and after
your journey.
There are bound to be questions when travelling. Information on everything from weather to internet connections can be found below.
The tour price includes all accommodations with private baths. Our standard is to provide the best available accommodations without sacrificing value. Although the quality may differ slightly from one hotel to another, our commitment to your comfort is unwavering. Two-bedded rooms are reserved in most hotels. Triples are two-bedded rooms plus a rollaway cot, where available, and are not recommended for comfort. Triples at the Lazy Bear Lodge are accommodated in two rooms. Quadruple accommodations are not available.
If you request an adjacent, adjoining or connecting room, we will do all we can to accommodate your request; however, we cannot guarantee such accommodations will be available. Please note that a hotel may consider "adjacent" to be across the hall.
Children under the age of 18 must be booked in a room with at least one adult.
Manitoba: Polar Bear Adventure is conducted by a Tauck Director who remains with the group throughout the tour. Your Tauck Director is a professional, fully trained employee of Tauck.
Most meals are included as specified in the itinerary.
All customary gratuities for hotel and restaurant staff, and local guides are included.
Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
Your Tauck Director will assist you with information on free-time activities based on honest opinion and guidance, but will not sell you anything. This means better value and a more relaxed, pleasant experience for you.
Two On-tour charter flights (In and out of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada) are required for this journey, one on day 2 and the other on day 4. These flights are included in the cost of the tour. Please limit your luggage to one bag for these smaller planes.
If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into Canada. You do not require a visa for the short duration of this tour.
If you are frequent traveler to Canada from the U.S., you may benefit from the NEXUS program, which is a joint initiative between the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency and the Canada Border Services Agency that allows pre-screened and approved travelers faster processing at dedicated processing lanes at designated northern border ports of entry, at NEXUS kiosks at Canadian Preclearance airports, and at marine reporting locations. For further information, you may log on to the Nexus Internet site by clicking here.
If you are a citizen of another country, please contact a Canadian embassy or consulate to determine what travel documentation will be required. If you will be visiting the U.S. before or after your tour, you may need a multiple-entry visa for the U.S. and should contact an embassy or consulate of the U.S. before booking your tour.
Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.
Anyone with a criminal record (including some misdemeanors such as Driving While Impaired (DWI) charges) may be excluded or removed from Canada, and should contact a Canadian embassy or consulate well in advance of any planned travel to ensure proper travel documentation.
We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.
Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included.
To avoid jet lag and possible flight delays, you may wish to make hotel arrangements for the nights preceding or following your tour. As a service, we will book additional nights for you on a space-available basis using special rates only available through us. Hotel room charges will be added to the tour cost. Airport transfers are included for these bookings. If you wish to spend additional nights, please consult Extend Your Trip in the Accommodations section above on this webpage and discuss it with your reservations sales consultant or travel agent when you book your tour.
Although every effort is made to handle your luggage carefully, we cannot be responsible, assume liability or accept claims for loss or damage to luggage and personal effects due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, airline and group carrier handling. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities.
Lost luggage is an unfortunate possibility in today's world of airline travel. We suggest that you:
Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses.
Personal Expenses such as phone calls, room service, alcoholic and other beverages not specifically included, laundry, dry cleaning, airline excess luggage charges, vaccinations, visa fees and services, airport arrival and departure taxes, individual train and airport transfers (when applicable), and other optional or incidental extras are not included and may be significant.
The customary gratuities for the Tauck Director and local drivers are not included. We ask that gratuities be extended on a voluntary, individual basis and not as a group.
The tour begins at 2:00 PM at Inn at the Forks on the first day of the tour, when you will board a motor coach for a guided tour of Winnipeg. The welcome reception at the Manitoba Museum begins at 5:30 PM. You or your booking agent will be advised of any change to this schedule. Your tour ends when you check out of Inn of the Forks on the last day of the tour. Each carrier and each airport has different rules regarding how early you must arrive for flight check in. Please contact your individual carrier for this information.
We pledge to make every effort to operate all tours as advertised. We reserve the right to alter or curtail the itinerary, or substitute sightseeing, hotels, and/or conveyances as deemed necessary. Any savings realized by these changes will be refunded to you. Any resultant added expense will be covered by us. Although not expected, prices on this website may be modified due to unexpected significant external factors not forecast at the time of publication.
Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances or the many state, religious and civic holidays locally observed. You may wish to log on to Wikipedia to view a list of holidays by country by clicking here.
Occasionally, we will use photographs and/or video taken by fellow guests or your Tauck Director on your tour for print, Internet and other media promotional purposes. If you prefer that your image not be used in any marketing activities, please notify your Tauck Director at the start of your tour.
Membership will be granted to all persons. We reserve the right to terminate the tour of any person who is abusive of others or whose behavior disrupts the tour.
We recommend that you contact your bank in advance of departing on this tour to determine whether you will be able to use your ATM and credit cards while traveling. When contacting your bank, notify them of your travel dates so that they will anticipate charges being made outside of your hometown and do not suspend your cards for what may appear to them to be "suspicious" charges. We also recommend that you make a photocopy of both sides of your ATM and credit cards to leave behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your cards are misplaced, lost or stolen.
We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone during motor coach travel, group functions, when sightseeing and when the Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There are usually ample opportunities to make or receive calls at times when it does not impact others.
Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine whether your service extends to Canada.
You should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances over moderately uneven terrain, sometimes covered with snow and ice. To participate in the dog sledding experience, you will choose either to travel inside a cozy dog sled wrapped in a "polar bear" blanket or drive on the back of the sleigh with your musher and feel the fresh, cold, Arctic air on a ride along well-groomed trails. During the two full-day polar bear sightseeing excursions, you will travel in a tundra vehicle, which has a modest restroom facility onboard. No one is allowed off the vehicles for the duration of the eight-hour excursion. A picnic lunch is served onboard.
The Inn at the Forks is a smoke-free property.
The Lazy Bear Lodge does not serve alcohol. The town of Churchill has several restaurants and bars that do serve alcohol, so it is not a dry town. You may have alcohol in your room, but not in a public space while at the Lazy Bear.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND MOBILITY ISSUES: This Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in many foreign countries on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Tauck journey. Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters.
Guests should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in many foreign countries, particularly in developing countries, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues. The responsibility of the Tauck Director is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
Throughout the tour, we will provide you with clean and safe drinking water.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify Tauck as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
If you are a citizen of the U.S., no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Canada. For complete vaccination information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Special Travel Documentation for Children
Authorization for Travel
If you travel into or out of the U.S. with children under the age of 18, you should be aware of the following: because of increasing incidents of child abductions in disputed custody cases and because children are at risk as possible victims of child pornography, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that unless the child is accompanied by both parents, you should have a notarized note from the child's other parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with grandparents, uncles or aunts, sisters or brothers, or friends, a note signed by both parents) stating that the parent(s) not traveling acknowledge that the parent(s), family members, etc. who are traveling into or out of the U.S. with the child have permission to do so. While CBP may not ask to see this documentation, if they do ask, and you do not have it, you may be detained until the circumstances of the child traveling without both parents can be fully assessed.
If there is no second parent with legal claims to the child (parent deceased, sole custody, etc.), other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, birth certificate naming only one parent, or a death certificate, will be useful.
Many other countries also share this concern for children who travel without both parents. To ensure smooth travel, we require you to comply with the travel regulations of each country visited. This information may be obtained from a country's consulate or embassy.
Authorization for Emergency Medical Treatment
In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, a medical facility will require permission from the child's parents to provide treatment. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you bring along a letter from both parents (including other pertinent documents as cited above) authorizing emergency medical treatment for their child.
Children who are U.S. citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion of the journey.
We are not responsible for the disruption of travel caused by the improper documentation of any guest, including children traveling without both parents. While there is no definitive format or standard, click here to view a sample letter for guardians or one parent traveling with a child.
If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport.
If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information.
For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here.
If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport.
Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage.

Your journey through Manitoba is casual. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering as it will be cold. Comfortable, cotton or fleece clothing is suggested. We recommend bringing warm and layered clothing like long underwear, snug but comfortable fitting outerwear, a fleece jacket or sweater. Outer clothing should consist of a windproof material, with an attached hood or a very warm hat. For travel in October and November, you will experience cold temperatures and will need to dress accordingly. Although no special attire is required for dining, you may wish to dress more formally for the welcome and farewell receptions.
Most importantly, bring comfortable yet sturdy walking shoes for Winnipeg and waterproof boots for Churchill that have already been broken-in. It is important that your shoes and boots have good ankle support, as we visit some sites where paths and stairs may be uneven, unpaved, slippery and wet.

Banks and exchange bureaus will change money and travelers' checks, as will some hotels, but the rate will not be as good. Major credit cards are widely accepted and ATMs are plentiful. U.S. dollars are largely accepted, though due to fraud, larger notes might not be and change is usually given in Canadian dollars.

Overall Rating:
This was an outstanding adventure from start to finish! Rob,our energetic and knowledgeable tour director, did many appreciated extra little things for us to enhance our trip. He was superb across the board and his efforts ensured we had a first class experience. Wally(from Lazy Bear Lodge)and Collin(our tundra driver and guide)were also great!
Having a Polar Bear sow bring her cub up to inspect the tundra crawler took our breaths away! In this stark environment we were so fortunate to see several bears, an Arctic Fox and even the Northern Lights briefly. GREAT TRIP!
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Definitely
Not only did we have a great time seeing polar bears up close...other side of the window pane, but we enjoyed learning about a remote location and the people who choose to inhabit it. Yes, it is cold, but with layers and the proper footwear and mittens,( not gloves), we were just fine. Lodge was very comfortable and food surprisingly good.
A polar bear trying to bite the windshield directly in front of me.
Great trip. Very educational and interesting about polar bears, their habits, and the changing environment. I recommend highly. Now I want to see the wolves at Yellowstone. I also want to go back to Churchill in summer and see the bears and beluga whales.
Learning about the summertime walking hibernation of the bears and witnessing their obvious hunger before the Hudson Bay freezes over and they can get to the seals.
Our 5th Tauck tour. AWESOME. We learned about the Inuit Culture, toured Winnipeg & Churchill. Then came polar bear viewing. We went out in our Tundra Buggy and saw many bears over the two days. GREAT. Lastly, we were shown the art of dog sledding with "Big Dog". We got a dog sled ride which was great. Rob White, our Tour Director was EXCELLENT.
Multiple Polar Bear sightings; Rob C. White - Tour Director - making everyday the best working so hard to make everyone's trip a lifetime memory - which it was; Our dinner at the museum; Dog Sledding;
Another well coordinated effort by Tauck.
Drs J
We were excited about this tour but this was our first time with Tauck. Although we have set foot in all seven continents of the world by planning tours ourselves or with other tour companies, this tour with Tauck does not compare with anything. Our tour director, Rob White, really made this trip very special for us.
Watching the Polar Bears so close that I was able to take their photos with my little iphone.
One could not wish for more than meeting Percy, the personable, photogenic polar bear. Thanks to Rob, our Tauck director, and Colin, our Lazy Bear Lodge guide, I had a 10% experience of seeing a polar at a distance of about 10 feet. What a stupendous experience! Then add a delightful sled dog ride, visits to various museums, and more learning!
Seeing a majestic polar bear in the company of wonderful new friends!
This trip is perfect for nature-lovers, or for the adventuresome folks who enjoy being places most people don't go. You see a very different landscape--tundra and boreal forest, and meet native cultures: the First Nations tribes and aboriginal Inuits. And if you are fortunate, you may see some exotic regional animals.
Rob White was a phenomenal TD!
Seeing a living, breathing polar bear in the wild and close up tops the list!
George Pexton
The purposed of this trip was to see Polar Bears and thanks to our Director, Dale and Guide driver, Colin we saw a lot including a mother and cub. None were very near but were visible to the naked eye and beautiful through even low powered binoculars. We also went mushing which we found exciting. The Lazy Bear Lodge at Churchill was excellent.
As above seeing the Polar Bears.
Fantastic. Tour Director Rob was wonderful. He makes you feel so important and you want for nothing. Saw 10 polar bears, even 1 up close and personal to our tundra crawler. Accommodations were great. Lazy Bear and Wally were awesome. Our guide in Churchill was very good. Welcome cocktails and dinner in museum was nice touch.
The polar bear walking to and hanging around our crawler while we were having lunch. He stayed for 30 minutes or so. He was AWESOME!
This was our 23rd Tauck Tour and certainly rates among the top experiences. The Inn at the Forks in Winnipeg provided exceptional service and food was outstanding. Dale and Colin were superb. Being exposed to the tundra and bears was a once in a lifetime treat. I was sad when we left realizing I'd never be back.
The dog sled ride. Suggest you eliminate the talk by the First Nation member. She spoke in a monotone, was boring, and I noted that many fell asleep during her presentation.
This trip was adventuresome and unique with just a small degree of danger to add excitement. The cold is bearable as long as you layer-wool not cotton and windbreaker jacket and pants. One actually begins to enjoy the brisk clean air.
One does have to have patience for this trip-in spite of the cost of it-the bears can't just be summoned.
Dogsledding was wonderful. My black lab would be appalled by the discipline and enthusiasm for the work of pulling the sled-but it is a great ride and not to be missed.
Randall and Donna Lau
This tour was fabulous. From the town car pick up at the airport in Winnipeg to the stretch limo at the end of the trip back to the airport, it was outstanding. The ambiance of the Lazy Bear Lodge, and Wally and his staff make the whole experience a wonderful adventure. And, we were able to leave things at the Inn at the Forks until we got back.
We got to see a good number of polar bears in the tundra. Several got right up close and personal to the Arctic Crawlers so that you could look into their eyes and note the coarse hair and sharp claws. It was just fun to sit back in the nice warm comfortable crawlers and enjoy the bears moving about outside. The ones that came under the deck too
I had heard of Churchill where you could see polar bears in the wild but never thought I would be able to go. Then I saw it was available with Tauck. It was great! I loved the lodge where we stayed. It has so much rustic charm. From the tundra crawler we saw polar bears, red foxes and snowy owls. Dog sledding was much fun too. Great experiences!
We had an unforgettable experience when one polar bear literally came up to our crawler and got on her hind legs to try to see inside our vehicle. We were up higher than she could reach so we were safe but we got amazing up close photographs. Far exceeded my expectations.
Walter Gilges
We have traveled extensively. I have never returned home so enthusiastic about a trip. Our guide was outstanding: knowledgeable, terrific sense of humor, wonderful ability to make each person feel special. Learning about polar bears and seeing them "up close and personal" was incredible. Dog sledding was a great treat. We're sold on Tauck!
The first was when a polar bear spent about half an hour around our Arctic Crawler, looking in the window and sniffing the soles of our boots through the grate/floor of the deck. Then to have a second bear come right up to our bus and stick his nose in a window that had been opened to take pictures. It doesn't get any better than that!
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful experience and we hope you'll travel with us again soon!
-The Tauck Guest Relations Team
traveling grandma
We had a fantastic time, the lodge was beautiful, food fantastic, and the people of Churchill were friendly. There is so much history, and the landscape and wildlife is unforgettable. It is a totally different way of life. We had a great driver on our tundra crawler and learned how to read polar bear tracks and how to spot them. We found 26 polar bears and 5 foxes!!!! The dog sled ride was great fun. It is a trip we will never forget and would love to do it again.
The most memorable moment is when we came upon a mother polar bear and her two cubs. They were very close to the tundra crawler and we watched one cub nurse. When they decided to leave, one cub went they opposite direction. It was interesting to watch the mother keep track of her cubs, and call the one cub back to her. The cub ran as fast as his legs would go. The second one, was the large red fox that was listening for something under the snow. He put on a show for us and sat for a picture.

Managed to protect the move out of the cave but after much huffing and puffing decided that I just wasn't strong enough to make the move and took the gear out and down climbed. I blame the flu I'm just getting over (not an unreasonable excuse), the fact that I'd forgotten my chalk (maybe not a reasonable excuse but it did have a strange psychological effect on my climbing all evening) and also I think my head just wasn't in gear for solving the move .. I believe all that was going to happen was that I'd pull up onto the face and then proceed to fall off. I just couldn't see the solution clearly enough. Perhaps I should just go for it in situations like these .. but I was conscious that:
1. I didn't want to blow the clean ascent.
2. I didn't want to cheat .. it would have been so easy to bridge onto Cave Wall? (the route to the right).

The Top Ten Favorite Things About My Dad
So my dad is pretty wonderful, and I've known that for a long time. When I was younger, it was the typical idol worship an only daughter can experience as a daddy's girl. But as I've grown up and seen and learned more, that idol worship has evolved into a sense of respect, love, and appreciation.
With Father's Day just around the corner, it seems like the perfect time to step back and think about some of my favorite things about the man, the myth, the legend that is Tim Spiro.
So without further ado, here's a Top Ten list of my favorite things about my dad, in no particular order:
- The way he's Mr. Fix-It, but not in the typical sense. I don't view him as a Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor type of guy, even though he could spend tireless amounts of time trying to figure out why the VCR/DVD Player/whatever isn't connecting to the TV. I mean that he's the kind of guy who helps out in a jam, whatever the jam might be. He wants to help people whenever he can, in whatever way he can.
- The way he holds his glasses when he reads. Whether it's reading a menu, the newspaper, a work document, a piece a mail, anything with print - he always looks above the lenses of his glasses and holds the paper close to his face. Or he'll take his glasses off and have one of the stems in his mouth with his eyes wide and looking upward.
- The way he listens (and sings along) to Frank Sinatra. My earliest memories of my dad involve driving in the car with him to school or wherever and listening to Frank Sinatra's music - often times, it was his Duets album. I always thought his voice sounded just like Frank's when he'd sing along, with the same cadence and pausing and phrasing as Old Blue Eyes. His hand moved in the air with each big band note like he was conducting. His love of Frank Sinatra is known by all and explains the countless repeated giftings of CD sets, books, and films.
- The way he pretends to know how to swing dance. Ever since I was younger, my dad had me dancing with him with my feet on his feet. And as I got older, we would dance together at functions and he'd spend the entire time twisting me around, twirling, and swinging our arms to the music. For our father-daughter dance at my wedding, I knew we couldn't do a typical slow dance to a sweetly sappy song. Instead, we fudged our way through a swinging rendition of Frank Sinatra's "I've Got the World on a String" - no lessons, just us.
- The way he treated me like a little lady, but also made me a jock. I can throw a football, swing a bat, catch a fly ball, shoot hoops, all thanks to my dad and the fact that I grew up between two brothers. Some of my fondest memories of growing up involve playing baseball into all hours of the night in a vacant lot down the street from our house, with our golden retriever Dakota as the outfielder chasing after our hits. He also made sure that he took all of us kids to the Tigers and Lions and Pistons and Red Wings games, not just leaving me at home because I was a girl. I'm all about ruffles and flowers and vintage dresses, but throw me a ball and I'll catch it.
- The way he taught me to be respectful of adults. With only a year and a half between us, my younger brother and I argued constantly. I honestly feel really bad for my parents when I think about how rotten we were to each other. But I'll never forget when we were at my dad's work one day as really young kids and we acted up in front of some important people. He spoke with us in private either after that moment or later that evening, and told us that we had been disrespectful and needed to apologize. Whether it was that same day or the next, we both apologized to the men for how we acted. While the details are blurry, it's something I'll never forget, and a lesson in acting politely and respectfully to all I encounter.
- The way he explained the value of a dollar. When it came time to learn about my family's history for various school projects, my dad told me about his grandfather - my great grandfather - and how he came to America with barely any money in his pocket. He didn't have a place to stay, and he worked very hard at whatever job he could get. As a kid, it can be difficult to imagine what it's like to not have more than a few coins to get by. It's the kind of lesson that makes it impossible for me to not stop and pick up a stray penny off the ground. It's why I work hard and value hard work.
- The way he loves and appreciates the simple things in life. My dad's a successful man, but give him a decaf Dunkin' Donuts coffee with extra cream and sugar, a powdered sugar donut, and the newspaper, and he'll be happy. At the office he wears striking suits and ties, but at home he's in an old Jimmy Buffett 1997 concert tee. He's worn the same type of brown Topsiders since I can remember slipping them on as a kid and walking as if I had scuba flippers on. It's the way he'll always stop to watch The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter, or The Honeymooners TV series when it's on TV, even if it's the millionth time he's seen it. It's those habits that run deep and are easy to immediately name and recognize.
- The way he tells a story. My dad is a great storyteller. He can do a pitch-perfect impression of his uncle, who is essentially the real-life version of Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino, and he knows how to engage an audience. There are inside jokes in any family, and oftentimes they can be quotes from favorite TV shows or movies. But for our family, our inside jokes revolve around quoting each other and family members long since gone. I might not have been at a party in the 1970s, but I know all of the usual suspects and what family dramedy ensued. It's to the point where my husband, friends, and family from the other side can all recognize and quote back classic lines from our family history. I love the way my dad pauses at key moments for dramatic effect, the way his eyes blink rapidly when he does pause, and how stories and quotes that could seem to get old actually get funnier with each retelling.
- The way he set the bar for the man I would marry one day. My dad was the only man in my life for almost 20 years. Having never truly met either of my grandfathers before they died, my dad was the one and only true father/male figure in my life. And he treated me like a princess. But not just a princess who would come to expect to be swept away and taken care of forever by a man. One that would understand the importance of being respected and loved, along with being cared for. The fact that my mom is such a hard worker has also shown me that you can be taken care of while also being able to take care of yourself. I feel very fortunate to have met and married a guy who met the standards my dad illuminated in me my whole life. Even if my dad's not the only man in my life now, he'll always be the first. And I'll never forget that.
There's plenty more that can be said, many stones left unturned, but these are what came from my heart and the reasons I hold closest.
So Happy Father's Day to my dad, Tim Spiro, and to all of the men out there who have a part in shaping us as we grow and learn to be the best we can be, and expect even more.

Cupro-nickel 10,000 zlotych
Poland, AD 1990
Commemorative issue for the 10th anniversary of the Solidarity trade union
The radical Polish trade union federation, Solidarnosc ('Solidarity'), was established after a strike in 1980 in a Gdansk shipyard. The organization, led by Lech Walesa, grew to have around 10 million members. Initially recognized by Poland's Communist government, it soon came to be seen as a subversive force, and the government tried to break it. Martial law was declared in Poland in 1981, almost totally closing down the country and weakening Solidarnosc's powers.
However, reforms were being made to the communist system elsewhere in Europe. In the Soviet Union the principles of perestroika ('restructuring'/'reform') and glasnost ('openness') eventually led to the collapse of Communist rule there in 1991. Poland experienced its own reforms, and by 1989 free elections led to victory for Solidarity.
This 10,000 zlotych coin commemorates the organization at the time of its triumph. The cross is a symbol of Poland's devotion to the Roman Catholic church but also signifies the resurrection of the 'saviour' of the Polish people, Solidarity.

Also have the possibility to meet and witness the Famed Artist Francisco Grippa's home! Most of his work is actually exhibited in Iquitos at the Amazon Art Gallery, but others are on display in his home/gallery. The surrounding flood forest is home to hundreds of caimans and significant birdlife, including several types of parrots, eagles and kingfishers. This region is also for butterfly watching, the study of orchids and bromeliads in bloom and for its fishing – piranha being one of the easiest kinds to catch.
SeaDream will be anchoring once again at Apayaco and lowering the marina to offer more zodiac expeditions with the local experts. The yacht is equiped with five zodiacs and they will be discovering the beauty and uniqueness of this great area. Have your cameras ready and enjoy the exploration!
Leticia has plenty to do with blocks of shopping, plenty of local souvenirs to buy, a small museum, and your crew will use a good local bar as your base. Visitors can enjoy the attractions nearby the city like Mundo Amazonico Ecological Park.
Jutai Expedition Team options:
- Morning zodiac safari (depends going up or down river & on schedule decided on). There are a few choice of creeks for this. Note Rio Jutai is a black water river but much white water (so called but its coffee color) comes in creeks and small tributaries from the Amazon.
- Foz do Jutai town visit.
- Black water lake visit either 2 miles from town or 7 miles up the Jutai River, The Captain may decide to relocate the yacht seven miles upriver adjacent to the black water (Igapo) lakes area. This area is in Ticuna Indian territory. As the black water is very clear, guests can see down into the water to view the tops of flooded trees in the high water period.
Expedition Team Options:
- Zodiac Safari of the lake early morning, scattered population around the lake, the area is great for birds, and occasionally monkeys.
- Swimming – yes Swimming! In the black water lake, this is an ideal place for guests to swim from the Marina Platform. This is a very safe area for swimming as there is no current & black water (very little marine life) is best for swimming.
- This stop is essential for guests to participate in a jungle trek through the Brazilian Nut forest! This will be one of the best opportunities for a jungle trek with some of the locals as well as the Expedition team leading the way.
Disembark at a small Amazonian village of Cuxiu Muni, population of about 40 families. (Population in this region is quoted by the number of families not the number of total individuals). The locals are very warm, welcoming and used to meeting guests from various vessels typically about three times per year.
Options with the Expedition Team are:
- Early morning or late evening Zodiac Safari in range of narrow creeks, good for spotting three toed Sloths as well as several species of birds.
- Village visit lasting say 2-3 hrs can be done anytime of day, this means walk through entire length of village, greeting families looking at the various crops growing, the adjacent woodlands, way of life of Caboclos, tapping rubber tree, etc.
Ariau is sitting at the confluence of the Rio Negro and the Anavilhanas Archipelago SeaDream will once again offer zodiac safaris with the Expedition Team. This region has abundant flora and fauna while leaving the fragile eco-system completely undisturbed. Guests may find some secluded white sand beaches along the shore and get a glimpse of the Ariaú Amazon Towers.
Parintins is a city in the far east of the Amazonas state, Brazil. It is located in the municipality of the same name, which is part of a microregion also named Parintins. The population for the entire municipality was 109,150 (2005) and its area is 5,952 km².[1] The city is located on Tupinambarana island in the Amazon River. Parintins is known for a popular folklore festival held there each June called Boi-Bumbá.
Surrounded by lush forest, the small town sits on the Tapajós a tributary of the Amazon, at the entrance to Lago Verde. It is not without good reason that this town is known as the Caribbean of the Amazon as it is one of the world's most beautiful river beaches. The photogenic highlight of the town is Ilha do Amor ("island of love") a sandbar that slowly extends across the lagoon towards the town as river levels recede during the dry season. Although still attractive in the wet season this spit flanked by the lagoon and the river is what makes Alter unique.
Guajará (Guanjeras) is a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Amazonas. Its population was 12,066 in 2005 and its area is 8,904 km². The expedition team will once again lead guests on zodiac safaris as well as a town visit meeting the locals.
Rio Preto di Boi is simply an area of the Amazon where the Captain along with the Expedition Team will scan for wildlife and stop the yacht to offer the best opportunities for the guests to explore with the Expedition Team the unspoiled Amazon River and come away with wonderful memories and fantastic images to share for years to come. This is yachting in the amazon!
The SeaDream yacht will anchor off near Ile Royal and offer tender service for those quests wishing to explore the island. Île Royale (Royal Island) is the largest and westernmost island of the three Îles du Salut. As the largest island, with an area of 28 hectares, it was used as the center for administration when the islands were used as a penal settlement. With an elevation of 66 meters, the island is the highest of the group. It contains a museum and a hotel (L'Auberge des Îles du Salut). You will be able to spot many 'Agoutis' which are rodents that look like huge tailless rats or squirrels.
Today guests will enjoy a nice hike with the crew followed by the famous Champagne and Caviar Splash served in the surf.
