Since Sun Valley is the town next to Ketchum, Britt is going to stay at the Clarion Inn in Sun Valley. The cost is $100 per night. This hotel happens to be the Ernest Hemingway Memorial, anyways. The memorial is a place Britt is going to visit. The Ernest Hemingway Memorial is located just northeast of Sun Valley on Trial Creek Road. The Memorial is a bust of Hemingway and an epitaph he wrote for a friend who died in a hunting accident during Hemingway's first visit to Idaho. Hemingway spent many years in the Sun Valley area and called it his second home. It was in his home in Ketchum where he took his own life. Hemingway is buried at the Ketchum Cemetery.
A memorial to one of Sun Valley's most famous residents can be found on Trail Creek Road just a bit northeast of Sun Valley – the Ernest Hemingway Memorial. The author spent many years in the local area.
In 1939, Hemingway made his first trip to the area. Initially invited to the Sun Valley Resort as a part of the company's plan to use celebrities to lure tourists, Hemingway fell in love with the area. He worked on For Whom the Bells Tolls while staying in a luxury suite at the Sun Valley Lodge.
Twenty years later, Hemingway established a residence in the Wood River Valley. In his home, he worked on two more works – A Moveable Feast and The Garden of Eden. Hemingway was an avid hunter and enjoyed duck hunting with friends who came to visit him. The beauty of the Wood River Valley is thought to have provided inspiration to Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway took his own life in 1961 and was buried in the Ketchum cemetery. In 1966, a memorial was erected by his family and friends. The bronze bust of Hemingway and accompanying plaque was dedicated on July 21, 1966, which would have been the famous author's 67th birthday. The inscription on the plaque reads:Best of all he loved the fallthe leaves yellow on cottonwoodsleaves floating on trout streamsand above the hillsthe high blue windless skies…Now he will be a part of them forever.
Another place she will visit is the Sun Valley Ski Resort. The Sun Valley Resort is the original ski resort in the United States. In 1936, the area was the culmination of a dream to bring the excitement and wonder of European ski resorts to the United States. The area has four distinct seasons, each with its own array of activities. A visit to Sun Valley will provide you and your family with a memorable experience.
Sun Valley Resort has the distinction of being America's first destination resort. In Sun Valley, you will find something wonderful to see and/or do each season of the year.
The Lodge at Sun Valley was built in 1936 and quickly became the place to be. Frequented by Hollywood elite, in the beginning, the Sun Valley Resort has now become a family vacation destination. In addition to world class skiing, there are a myriad of services and amenities offered by the Sun Valley Resort: The Lodge Dining Room, Gretchen's, the Duchin Lounge, Sun Valley Salon & Day Spa, massage center, sauna and heated swimming pool, workout facility, bowling alley, game room, room service and gift shop. In addition, for those who come to the enjoy the world class skiing, the Sun Valley Resort is conveniently located about a mile and a half from the River Run Day Lodge on Bald Mountain.
The last place she will visit is The Hemingway Exhibit. It is located within the Ketchum/Sun Valley Heritage & Ski Museum is an extensive exhibit covering the life of Ernest Hemingway and his association with the Wood River Valley. The Museum is located near downtown Ketchum and includes other historical items and memorabilia related to the heritage of the Wood River Valley.
During the later part of this life, Ernest Hemingway had strong ties to the Wood River Valley.
Making his first trip to Sun Valley in 1939 as a part of a promotional event for the then new Sun Valley Resort, Hemingway returned many times over the next several years. It is reported that he spent time in his designated suite #206 in the Lodge working on his famous book For Whom the Bells Toll.
In 1959, Hemingway became a resident of the Valley along with his fourth wife, Mary Welsh. He spent time in his home writing and additionally enjoyed all the ambiance of the Ketchum/Sun Valley area. Many of the businesses that he frequented are still in operation today. Many other celebrities would come to the Valley as guests of the Hemingways.Battling manic depression and various physical ailments, Ernest Hemingway took his own life in 1961. Today, visitors come to the Wood River Valley to see the area that apparently inspired the well-known writer. In addition to the exhibit at the Ketchum/Sun Valley Heritage & Ski Museum, photos of the Hemingway family can be seen hanging in the hallways of the Sun Valley Lodge, as well as the last letter that he wrote before his death.
The average temperature in Ketchum is 65 degrees Farhenhiet with a low of 34 degrees. It is in Blaine County. It is in the wood River Valley and is 1792 feet above sea level. You can go fishing, hiking, trail riding, play tennis, and go shopping. The town is a total of 3 sq. miles with a population of 3,234 people.

Havana, Cuba
Britt will arrive late in the night of the 23rd and stay in Havana the 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th. She will leave the next morning to go to Varadero. The cost of the hotel is $37 per night.
While in Havana she is going to the Acuario Nacional. At this aquarium, a variety of tropical and subtropical marine species can be seen swimming happily in their tanks, which thanks to their decoration and lighting effects offer an excellent recreation of the ocean depths. Located on the edge of the coast, this children's heaven has numerous attractions; these include a tortoise tank complete with beach, and the inevitable dolphin show in a setting that recreates Cuba's continental marine platform.
She will also see the Template (El)Plaza de Armas. It was the inhabitants of 19th century Havana, motivated perhaps by the origins of all around them, who erected this shrine with a bust of Christopher Columbus and three paintings by Juan Bautista Vermay. The monument marks the exact place where the settlement of San Cristóbal de la Habana was founded in 1519. Together with this building, which is one of the first examples of a neo-classical style from the colonial architectural period, also stands a column to represent the original ceiba tree under which the first mass and Council of Havana were held.
Lastly, she will visit the Parque Central. It is framed by majestic-looking early 19th century buildings, this park (also known as Parque Jose Martí) dates back to 1903. It is a large park surrounded by some of Old Havana's finest restaurants and hotels, including the hotels Sevilla, Plaza and Inglaterra. There are many exotic trees and royal palms in a well-landscaped garden environment. Well lit and quite safe, many people come to sit and relax with friends, while enjoying a drink and listening to the music that drifts over from the local clubs and nearby theater.
Havana is on the same time zone as Indiana. The average temperature in Havana in October is 84 degrees farhenhiet with a low of 73 degrees. It has a mild, sub-tropical climate with cool tradewinds. It is in the end of the rainy and hurricane season. The temperature rarely drops below 50 degrees.
It is 194 ft, in evevation above sea level. The population of the city is 2,400,000 and the urban area is 2,700,000. The metropolitan area's population is 3,120,000. The total population is 2.1 million.
Havana is considered to be "three cities in one". They are Old Havana, Hedado, and the suburban areas. There are very narrow streets.
They have a communist government and use pesos for currency. One peso is equal to 1.08003 U.S. dollars. The main language spoken is Spanish.
On th 26th Britt will catch a bus to Varadero that leaves at 8:00 A.M. and returns 6:00 P.M. It is three hours each way and $11 each trip.

Venice, Italy
The average temperature for Venice in October is 64 degrees Fahrenhiet. There is high humidity with thunderstorms, rain showers, and flooding. Venice is in northern Italy. the population is 271,251 people.
Venice is built on an archipelago. It is built on a system of canals and waterways. You have to get around on gondalas.
There are lots of museums in Venice. They have a republic government and use the euro for their currency. The mein language they speak is Italain. The time difference is if it were 10:00 P.M. in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday, it would be 4:00 A.M. on Monday in Venice.
Venice has an extremly high literacy rate of 99%.
While in Venice, Britt will be staying at the Stlye Hotel. The cost is $60.93 per night. She will stay here the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.
Also while in Venice, Britt will go island hopping. She will spend one day devoted entirely to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. Murano is the centre of Venice's highly skilled glass manufacturing industry and Burano is famous for its lace. Burano also happens to be a pretty fishing village, its streets and canals lined with bright, pastel-coloured houses. Give yourself time to wander into the quietest corners and shady parks. Walk over the wooden bridge to neighbouring Mazzorbo, a larger island with little more than a few houses, a couple of trattorie and open green space. Delightful Torcello, with its overgrown main square and sparse, scruffy-looking buildings and monuments, once rivalled Venice. Now it's home to fewer than 80 people.
On another day she will attend a feista named Festa della Madonna della Salute. It is a procession - over a pontoon bridge - to the Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute in Venice gives thanks for the city's deliverance from plague in 1630.
On another day she will be shopping. She will go to Antichità Claudia Zaggia. Nadia Viani runs this little Aladdin's Cave of, well, just about anything. Depending on the day, you might discover an Art Nouveau necklace, preloved pearls, old glassware, or rosy-faced ceramic dolls from another era.
She will also go to Attombri. For centuries, the long gallery running along the Palazzo dei Dieci Savi in Rialto glistened with the wares of the oresi (goldsmiths). Nowadays, about half a dozen gold and jewelery shops eke out a living here. Attombri is the exception. The inventive Byzantine-style jewellery constitutes a captivating and original collection, and not just in gold.
The last place she will go is Bambolandia. It is a wonderful world of old-fashioned toys and handmade dolls of all descriptions. If you can't convince the kids of the merits of these items over PlayStations, perhaps you'll be captivated yourself and pick something up as decorative nostalgia.
On the 23rd Britt will catch a flight to Miami, Florida. This costs $1217 and is a 15 hour 55 minute flight. From there she will leave Miami on a flight to Havana, Cuba. This is also on the 23rd, and costs $624. It is a 6 hour 39 minute flight with one stop in between.

Mt. Kilimanjaro
On the 17th, Britt wil be departing for Mt. Kilimanjaro. The cost for this round trip is $365. It leaves at 8:00 A.M. and returns to Nairobi and 3:50 P.M.
Mt. Kilimanjaro has three volcanic cones. They are all inactive. They are Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. The highest point of Mt. Kilimanjaro is Uhuru Peak on Kibo. It is the highest piont in Africa. Kibo is 19,341 ft. The top of Kibo is a 1.5 mile wide crater. Kibo is also one of The Seven Summits. Mawenzi is the 3rd highest poitn if Africa at 16,890 ft. Shira is 13,000 ft. Mt. Kilimanjaro is in Northeast Tanzania near the Kenya border.
Coffee and plaintains are the chief crops raised in the lower sothern slopes. Tourism from climbing is the important source or revenue. It has snow capped peaks. Human habitation lies on the southern and eastern slopes. The city of Moshi is teh main urban center.
The climate is very changing. First, you go throug very fertile cultivated farmland. As you go up the mountain, you go through traversr rain forests the to the moorland/semi-desert to total desert, then to the alpine desert, to the snow fields, ice cliffs, and complete and total ice and snow. There is always a constant feeling of summer since it is three degrees below the equator. it's ironic how you can be that close to the hottest part of the earth and have snow capped mountains. That's how tall it is, though.
There are 2 rainy seasons. One is in october, but it is the lighter one. The average temperature at the foot of the mountain is 25 degrees to 30 degrees Celsius. At the summit it ranges from minus 10 to 20 degrees. At 3000 meters it is anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees with frost at night.
When she arrives back in Nairobi, I have arranged for her to take a car to Uganda.

There are 2 rainy seasons. One is in october, but it is the lighter one. The average temperature at the foot of the mountain is 25 degrees to 30 degrees Celsius. At the summit it ranges from minus 10 to 20 degrees. At 3000 meters it is anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees with frost at night.
When she arrives back in Nairobi, I have arranged for her to take a car to Uganda.

A full day is spent game viewing across the rich, treestudded grasslands and rolling hills. The famous Mara is renowned for its great herds of plains’ game, black maned, leopard and cheetah, but also contains numerous elephant and virtually every type of wildlife to be found in Kenya. This park is perhaps the most prolific in the world and definitely the best game park in the world too for the most approachable game. All meals and overnight at the campsite. Our camps enjoy full facilities, large tents, flushing toilets, and mess facilities, beds and bedding to authentic standards.
Day 03
Pre-breakfast game drives. Have breakfast and depart for Nairobi arriving late afternoon.

Paris
Paris is the capital of France. They have a republis government and french is the main spoken language. They also use the euro for their currency. It is the 2nd largest city in Europe and the 5th largest in population. It is a huge shopping city with lots and lots of designer stores. The time difference is if it is 10:00 P.M. in Indianapolis, Indiana, then it is 4:00 A.M. the next day is Paris.
The population for the urban area is 9.93 milllion and for the metropolitian area is 12 milllion. The geographis size is 212,935 sq. miles. It has a temperate climate with mild to warm temperatures during the day and cool evenings. The average temperature is 60 degrees fahrenhiet. There is also very little but unexpected rainfall.
Paris lies on the Seine River in norhtern France. It is relatively flat with a low elevation of 115 ft. above sea level. It has some hills. The highest is Mentmartre, which is 427 ft. There are lots of gardens, parks, and museums.
Britt will be staying in the Premiere Classe Roissy Parc des Expositions hotel. It is $44.85 per night. It is close to the airport, too.
She will be visiting three of the most famous Parisian landmarks. They are the twelfth century cathedral Notre Dame de Paris on the Île de la Cité, the nineteenth century Eiffel Tower, and the Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe. The Eiffel Tower was a "temporary" construction by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exposition but the tower was never dismantled and is now an enduring symbol of Paris. The Historical axis is a line of monuments, buildings and thoroughfares that run in a roughly straight line from the city centre westwards: the line of monuments begins with the Louvre and continues through the Tuileries Gardens, the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe centered in the Place de l'Étoile circus. From the 1960s the line was prolonged even further west to the La Défense business district dominated by square-shaped triumphal Grande Arche of its own; this district hosts most of the tallest skyscrapers in the Paris urban area. The Invalides museum is the burial place for many great French soldiers, including Napoleon, and the Panthéon church is where many of France's illustrious men and women are buried. The former Conciergerie prison held some prominent Ancien Régime members before their deaths during the French Revolution. Another symbol of the Revolution are the two Statues of Liberty located on the Île des Cygnes on the Seine and in the Luxembourg Garden. A larger version of the statues was sent as a gift from France to America in 1886 and now stands in New York City's harbour.The Palais Garnier built in the later Second Empire period, houses the Paris Opera and the Paris Opera Ballet, while the former palace of the Louvre now houses one of the most famous museums in the world. The Sorbonne is the most famous part of the University of Paris and is based in the centre of the Latin Quarter. Apart from Notre Dame de Paris, there are several other ecclesiastical masterpieces including the Gothic thirteenth century Sainte-Chapelle palace chapel and the Église de la Madeleine.
The night of the 11th Britt will be leaving to head to Nairobi, Kenya. The cost of the flight is $1014. It is a twelve hour and twenty minute flight and arrives the next day.

Pamplona
Pamplona, Spain is located in the middle of the region Navarre. It is on the bank of the Arga, which is a tributary of the Ebro River. It is about 9.1 sq. miles with a population of 195,769 people. The elevation is 1,457 ft, above sea level.
There are lots of little shops all over the town. Their specialty foods are suckling pig, lamb, goat and other meat roasts. It is usually warm in October in the mid to high sixty's in temperature. There are usually some clouds.
They use the euro for currency. The conversion is 1 euro is equal to 1.35205 U.S. dollars. They have a parlimantary monarchy government, and roman catholic is the main religion. The time change is if it is 10:00 P.M. in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday, it would be 4:00 A.M. on Monday morning.
Britt will be traveling to some parks on one day she is there. She will visit the oldest park which is the Taconera park, whose early designs are from the seventeenth century. Taconera is today a romantic park, with wide pedestrian paths, parterres, and sculptures.
The other park she will visit is the Media Luna park which was built as part of the II Ensanche and is intended to allow relaxing strolling and sightseeing over the northern part of the town. After its demilitarization, the citadel (Ciudadela) and its surrounding area (Vuelta del Castillo) shifted into a park area with large lawns and modern sculptures.
The next day she will visit some religious buildings. One of the religious building is the fourteenth century Gothic Cathedral, with an outstanding cloister and a Neoclassical façade. There are another two main Gothic churches in the old city: Saint Sernin and Saint Nicholas, both built during the thirteenth century. Two other Gothic churches were built during the sixteenth century: Saint Dominic and Saint Augustine. During the seventeenth and eighteenth century were built the Baroque chapels of Saint Fermin, in the church of Saint Lawrence, and of the Virgin of the Road (Virgen del Camino), in the church of Saint Sernin, the convents of the Augustinian Recolect nuns and the Carmelite friars, and the Saint Ignatius of Loyola basilica in the place where he was injured in the battle during whose subsequent convalescence he decided to be priest. The most remarkable twentieth century religious buildings are probably the new diocesan seminary (1931) and the classical-revival style memorial church (1942) to the Navarrese dead in the Nationalist side of the Civil War and that is used today as temporary exhibitions room.
The thrid activity she will be doing is looking at some military and civil architecture. One of the places is the citadel of the "star fort". It has had little modifications. All of the other medieval structures were replaced in order to resist artillery sieges.
The oldest civil building today existing is a fourteenth century house that was used as Cámara de Comptos (the court of auditors of the early modern autonomous kingdom of Navarre) from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. There are also several medieval bridges on the Arga: Santa Engracia, Miluce, Magdalena, and San Pedro. The medieval palace of Saint Peter, which was alternatively used by Navarrese kings and Pamplonese bishops, was used during the early modern age as the Viceroy's palace and later was the seat of the military governor of Navarre; since the Civil War it was ruinous and it was recently rebuilt to be used as the General Archive of Navarre. She will also see a bull run in San Fermin. Hemingway used to love to watch the bulls.
The hotle she will be staying at is the Tryp Burlada. She will check in October 6th and check out October 8th. The average nightly rate is $64.77. The Tryp Burlada Is Located In Burlada, Spain. It is one kilometres from Pamplona, two kilometres from The Navarra Museum, 2.5 kilometres from The Bullring, and six kilometeres from the airport.
She will leave in the evening of October 8th for a three hour and forty minute flight to Paris, France with Iberia Airlines.
