SINGER TRAVEL CAN TAKE YOU "OUT OF THIS WORLD". SPACE TRAVEL WITH VIRGIN GALACTIC.
Here's a unique travel experience for a special birthday, occasion, or gift. Virgin Galactic's sub-orbital space trips are the most intense and wonderful experiences that passengers have ever had.
Astronauts will spend two to three days of training at or near the Virgin Galactic New Mexico Spaceport before embarking on their sub-orbital flight. SpaceShip2 will be carried by a revolutionary mothership called WhiteKnightTwo. She will climb to a height of around 50,000 feet (the cruising altitude of Concorde) and be released before firing her rockets and accelerating in a vertical climb into space! After enjoying some of the most spectacular views and sensations ever experienced by humankind, the wings of the spacecraft will feather to allow a safe re-entry at around 6 g's. After re-entry the wings will re-configure to allow a gentle glide back to the spaceport. On your return to terra firma you will be given your Virgin Galactic astronaut wings!
We are now taking reservations for travel in the near future. Interested in an out-of-this-world experience? Call Helene Singer at 610.378.1610.
FIFTEEN WAYS TO SPEED THROUGH SECURITY CHECKPOINTS.
DON'T tell a screener that you are about to miss your flight (it won't win you any sympathy and could even arouse suspicion).
DON'T wear clothing with metallic objects such as buckles.
DON'T wear lots of jewelry or hairpins that can't be easily removed.
DON'T say you "forgot" you have liquids in your bag.
DON'T try to jam everything into one bin in a misguided effort to be helpful — it's much harder to screen.
DON'T accuse screeners of theft. Once you're certain an item is missing, speak to a supervisor.
DON'T tell screeners "it only comes in this size" or "it's almost empty" when asked to surrender containers of liquid larger than three ounces.
DON'T tell them how much you spent on the toiletries — it won't make any difference if they're the wrong size.
DON'T block traffic by repacking your belongings on the conveyor belt.
DO wear easily removable shoes.
DO keep your boarding pass in hand.
DO take the one-quart plastic bag holding containers of liquids and gels (each 3 oz. or less) out of your carry-on before putting it through the x-ray machine.
DO lay your bag on its side (the up-right position is much harder to "read" and may trigger a rescreening).
DO put items through the x-ray machine only when you are ready to walk through the metal detector. This minimizes the time you're separated from your belongings.
DO make sure that you have all items before you leave the checkpoints.
For US flights and procedures travelers should check the TSA website at www.tsa.gov.

"We had a wonderful trip to Alaska! The weather was spectacular for the entire trip, and we got to join the 30% Club, those chosen few who get to view The Big One — Denali (Mt. McKinley). We got great views and pictures on numerous days. The only day it rained was the day we went white water rafting and we were going to be wet anyway J. We were able to see and photograph a lot of wildlife... bears, moose, caribou, dall sheep, and a fox catching a squirrel! We did not get to see a wolf, but we understand that is hard to do. All in all, we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have experienced Alaska during such phenomenal weather. Thank you for your assistance with the arrangements." –Donna R.
"Scheduling nine guys from four different airports to the same location I'm sure was not an easy task. The best part of the whole deal was she got us in on those 'great' rates. We received our tickets today — everything was letter perfect!"
