Nights at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club for Two, Including a $2,000 Fairmont Gift

Card That Can be Used for Your Choice of Adventure Experiences (Land Only)

Item Number: BAA Value: $7,600 Opening Bid: $5,200

Get ready for an unbelievable adventure to Kenya, host of the Great Migration, where millions of animals move in an endless life cycle from Tanzania's Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara. This eastern African country lying along the equator is known for its remarkable geographical variety, from the low-lying fertile coastal region to the dry rising coastal plain covered with savannah and thornbrush. During your stay at the magnificent Fairmont Mara Safari Club resort - rated the third best resort in the world, and the best in all of Africa - choose from a wide range of adventure experiences to explore this country, from game drives and bird walks to balloon safaris. Surrounded on three sides by the Mara

River, and on the edge of the world’s Seventh "New" Wonder of the World – the Masai Mara - Fairmont Mara Safari Club is the epitome of tented luxury. A spacious outside deck overhangs the hippo and crocodile-filled river, as does the main building, meaning drinks in the lounge becomes an opportunity to view Kenya's native inhabitants. Outdoor dining is enhanced with a boma, a structure influenced by traditional homesteads, where you can enjoy a cultural dinner reflecting not only African cuisine, but also rich music. Add that to nightly activities of Masai dancing, slide shows and talks on the Mara's ecosystem and Masai culture, and it all adds up to create a truly unique experience. Make the most of your stay by going on adventure experiences, such as balloon safaris that soar over the Mara plains capped with a champagne breakfast on the savannah, or a stroll in the footprints of the hippo-trodden path escorted by a Masai Moran. Visit Masai Village and enjoy interacting with the locals, shopping for Masai artifacts, and learn about the culture. Game drives, guided by experienced 'driver-naturalists', are by four-wheel-drive Land Cruiser. The resort's location provides a perfect base for visiting the Masai Mara, one of the world’s richest wildlife reserves, and home to an astounding array of animals including zebras, cheetahs, wildebeests, gazelles and of course the "Big Five": the lion, African Bush Elephant, Cape Buffalo, leopard and black rhinoceros.

CRUISE TO ALASKA A Cruise Vacation for Two Aboard Royal Caribbean International

to Alaska for Seven Nights in a Veranda Stateroom

Item Number: BAB Value: $6,500 Opening Bid: $3,900

Drink in the splendor of the seas as you make your way along the Alaskan coast, in and out of passages, past fjords, and miles and miles of wilderness. From the breathtaking sights of Hubbard Glacier to the pioneering spirit of Juneau, the gold-rush spirit of Skagway and the totem poles of Ketchikan, Royal Caribbean's Alaska is as rustic and romantic as one could ever imagine. And with ports such as Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia, Royal Caribbean showcases the quintessential character of the Pacific Northwest.

Quaint fishing villages and cosmopolitan cities combine for a unique glimpse into Alaska's character and culture. View the most dramatic

Alaskan glaciers at the end of the narrow, twisting slice of ocean called Tracy Arm Fjord. The fever of the gold rush took over Skagway years ago, and still embracing its past, today the city has managed to preserve its frontier spirit with saloons and dance-hall venues. Ketchikan is known for a few things as well: being the jumping-off point for seaplane excursions into the Misty Fjords National Monument and its 2.2 million acres of wilderness nirvana, as well as being the ancestral home of the Tlingit tribe. As you make your way past Hubbard Glacier, nicknamed the "Galloping Glacier" because of its fast pace – faster than almost any other glacier on the continent. In 1986, Hubbard Glacier moved an average of just under 5.5 feet per hour. From the pristine forests and the majestic mountains of the United States, to the unspoiled Alaskan wilderness, this is sure to be an unforgettable cruise.
