TULIP TIME, HOLLAND MICHIGAN Trip 18-A Departure May 5th, 2018 2 Days $329 Double Occupancy Single Occupancy +$70 Per person Welcome to the celebration & experience known as the Tulip Time Festival! Since 1929, the city of Holland, Michigan has blossomed with literally hundreds of thousands of tulips and an equal number of tulip-lovers who attend our annual Tulip Time Festival. Celebrating our 89th year in 2018, Tulip Time has grown over the years to be so much more than a flower festival. Back in 1929, the City of Holland planted it's first crop of 100,000 tulips and the overwhelming number of visitors over the years as the Festival took shape resulted in the addition of programs, pageantry, costumes, parades and the popular Dutch Dancers. Each year, we strive to showcase all that Holland, Michigan has to offer. HIGHLIGHTS AND INCLUSIONS Rail transportation on board Amtrak #350 to Kalamazoo and motorcoach to Holland Family-style lunch at Beechwood Inn Tour of the famous Windmill Island Gardens Tour of Veldheer s Tulip Gardens Tour of DeKlomp Wooden Shoe & Delft Factory Lodging: DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Rapids Dinner at Notos Old World Dining Tour of Grand Rapids Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Gardens Time on your own for walking or lunch Return by motorcoach to Kalamazoo and via Amtrak #353 to Chicago s Union Station Includes 1 lunch, 1 dinner, and 1 breakfast Includes all admissions and garden tram tour 20th Century Railroad Club 400 East Randolph Street, Suite 3725, Chicago, IL 60601 312-829-4500 www.20thcentury.org

What You Need to Know About Traveling with "The Century" WHAT WE ARE If you enjoy trains and travel, we have a lot to offer you! The 20th Century Railroad Club is an educational and historical organization (incorporated not-for-profit) dedicated to promoting the advantages and celebrating the history of travel by rail. WHAT WE DO Since 1971, the 20th Century Railroad Club has specialized in planning unique rail oriented trips for its members, their guests and the public. Most of our trips include at least one ride on a train or trolley. In recent years, 20th Century has teamed up with tour providers for some of our trips, to offer superbly structured tours all around the U.S., with professional escorts. Some of our trips are loosely structured to allow our passengers to choose exactly how and where they will spend their time at a destination, in such cases we will provide information on available destination options. You should think of traveling with the Century as an adventure a unique experience that may not be entirely predictable, but is nearly always much more fun than you'd have on your own! WHO CAN GO? YOU CAN! Unless a trip is marked for Club members only, anyone may travel with us. Of course, our members receive advance notice of all our trips in our quarterly newsletter, THE FAST MAIL, and are always first in line for the limited space available. If you re not yet a member, we invite you to sample our public trips and our members meetings before deciding to join our Club. TYPES OF TRIPS We offer six categories. First are One-Day Adventures by various modes. Second are Getaway Trips: These are two to four-day trips via Amtrak and/or other carriers. They usually span weekends and are open to the public. Third are Vacations with the Century : These special five- to ten-day trips, which are open to the public, are the most elaborate we offer. Travel and lodging arrangements are made by the club or a tour operator with expertise in group travel by rail and other carriers. These vacation packages are among the finest available to the train-oriented traveler, and are designed to offer the highest value for your travel dollar. Fourth are chartered trains, which are open to the public and usually travel to destinations not accessible by regularly scheduled service. Fifth, we may offer trips available only to our members. Other trips may be unlisted, and instead will be advertised in our monthly newsletter for members, THE FAST MAIL, or posted to our website. Sixth, are Private Varnish (PV) tours, which consist of traveling on special or historic railcars, rebuilt and

upgraded to ride the rails in wood paneled luxury - complete with first class accommodations. Vista domes, observation cars, and meals cooked on board fit for royalty. Best of all, upon reaching your destination city the train itself is your hotel, centrally located for touring. Our PV train sets are quite possibly the finest rail passenger cars to ride American rails. Absolute elegance! We have taken the service and rail cars of the past and upgraded everything to today's far higher standards... for you! WHY WE DO IT: There is still a special magic to traveling by train. It's a chance to travel in comfort and style; to slow down, settle back, watch the scenery and enjoy a journey the carefree, car-free way. As Agatha Christie wrote, Trains are wonderful To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches and rivers in fact, to see life. So, come on along for a ride on the railroad it s the most civilized form of land transportation.
