I
Learn How to
“Fly” a Plane
John Stachnik
I
just had the good fortune of traveling to Prague and the
Czech Republic. What a beautiful and historic city –
and what a remarkable country.
While there I had the extra good fortune of being invited
by Czech Airlines to their headquarters, where they gave
me the opportunity to “fly” an Airbus 320 on
their flight simulator.

Co-owners John and Mary Stacknik continue their commitment
to positive effects in tourism as they launch Mayflower's
Sustainable Journeys Go Green Program. Spearheaded by Mary
Stachnik and Nancy Uteg, Office Manager at Mayflower Tours,
a comprehensive program is underway that will permeate throughout
all facets of Mayflower Tours.
Our
journeys are the process of achieving sustainability. Sustainability
is meeting the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
This involves balancing economic interest against social
and environmental concerns. Let’s all travel together
to achieve this desired future state.

Can
Tulips Define a Culture? |
 THE
NETHERLANDS traditionally evokes images of bicycles, clogs,
cheese and windmills spinning lazily over flat green fields
adorned with brightly colored tulips. While these icons
remain, there is so much more to know about this advanced
nation, qualities that allow it a reputation as a place
where the old and new come together harmoniously and create
a liberal culture so rich in diversity.
