allowed is prohibited, - this ITHF tour took us
on a happy and exciting crosscultural excursion

Tour members from Australia, New Zealand, the
U.S., Canada, Mexico, Chile and others provided
as much diversity and cultural sharing on the
coaches as we encountered with the people there.
Not only was it introduction to an extraordinary
land, it was excellent fun and fellowship - searching
for the Leprechauns, hanging out in the pubs,
snooping through the castles, balancing on the
edge of the cliffs, etc.

this first travel adventure not only set a high
standard for future excursions, it resulted in

the function of travel.

Throughout Australia, we experienced as much
cultural diversity and sharing between ourselves
on tour as we did between us and our gracious
hosts there.
Ron Pearce and Marilyn made certain that all
ITHFers on tour not only saw the sights from the
bus, boat, plane, camel, train, etc., but that
they saw the "real Australia" from inside
the homes of the Rotarians and their families
there.
