SUMMARY:Winter Carnival in Quebec City
DESCRIPTION:  Spend a snowy weekend with us in historic Quebec! Quebec
	 is one of my favorite winter destinations. The food\, the friendly pe
	ople\, the snow\, the historic sights - it's all so lovely. The best t
	ime in winter to visit is during the annual winter carnival. There are
	 so many things to do and see that are unforgettable. We will leave on
	 Friday Jan 30th late in the afternoon from Dulles Airport\, so you do
	n't have to take a day off (just leave work a bit early). Likewise\, w
	e will have you back in DC at 10am so you don't have to take Monday of
	f but just come in a little late for work. We will be arriving the fir
	st weekend of the winter festival. Friday night we will settle into ou
	r hotel and everyone will have some free time to explore historic Queb
	ec at their leisure or relax on the grounds. Saturday we will spend th
	e day at the winter festival. Here is a listing of some of the events 
	and activities taking place: Bonhomme' Ice Palace opened to the public
	 Sugar Shack (hot maple syrup over cold snow) Snow slides Internationa
	l Snow Sculpture Event (the most inventive\, artistic and beautiful sn
	ow and ice sculptures you've probably ever seen. Very tall and impress
	ive) Snow Rafting Sleigh Rides Zipline Skating Rink Entertainment and 
	music Ice Skating Shows Here are some *specific* events of the festiva
	l going on this weekend: Saturday\, January 31 9 a.m. Dog Agility Comp
	etition on Snow 1 p.m. Dogsled Race 8 p.m. Loto-Québec Outdoor Dance 
	Party Sunday we will take our rental car out to the famous Hotel de Gl
	ace (Ice Hotel). This is a seasonal hotel built EVERY year in the wint
	er that is made of ice and takes reservations until the melting begins
	 in the spring. Last time I was here I met a lovely couple on their ho
	neymoon from Hawaii who were thrilled to go somewhere snowy for their 
	wedding night! The bar\, chapel\, hotel bedrooms\, dance hall\, etc ar
	e all made of ice. We will tour the hotel to learn more about its hist
	ory\, enjoy a drink in the bar (there is even internet access in the i
	ce bar- you can send picture of yourself at the bar to anyone you'd li
	ke via email!)\, and have a great time. Sunday afternoon we will have 
	plenty of free time for you to explore and tour downtown Quebec\, the 
	old historic district and more. Trip fee is only $997 and includes rou
	nd trip flight\, hotel accommodations for 3 nights in Quebec City\, br
	eakfast each morning\, entrance fees for the Winter Carnival and Hotel
	 de Glace\, and your share of the rental car fee. Trip fee listed is v
	alid for members who make payment through Oct 31st\, 2009 and may be s
	ubject to increase for members who make payment after that date due to
	 airline flight pricing changes. I will of course keep the event page 
	updated with current pricing info. As usual\, Members can use google c
	heckout here to pay for this. Alternatively\, members can pay via pers
	onal check\, delivered in person or by mail to the organizer. As is ou
	r standard policy\, members *must* provide payment within 24 hours of 
	marking their "yes" rsvp otherwise their rsvp will be cancelled to giv
	e priority to members who are ready to pay. Please make sure to read t
