Dear Carolina alumni and friends,

Travel with fellow Tar Heels and friends on one of our outstanding sponsored tours with AHI Travel (AHI). For more than 40 years, we've partnered with AHI to bring a wide variety of travel opportunities to our Carolina community. These educational, group tours offer exceptional quality and value, and many fill up as soon as they're announced.

As you browse through the webpages of AHI tours, you'll realize the thought AHI gives to creating and managing each journey. You'll see favorites, such as Treasures of South Africa and Dutch Waterways, plus trips to some of the most frequently requested destinations, including Italy, France, and Greece.

We frequently hear from our travelers that they greatly appreciate the small groups, in-depth learning and the exceptionally knowledgeable, resourceful and attentive AHI travel directors, and that they enjoyed immensely the itineraries and comradery of their groups.

We invite you to explore our tours with AHI through our cobranded webpages. Should you wish to learn more about our entire travel program, which consists of more than fifty tours, please visit our website: alumni.unc.edu/travel.

If you'd like to get in touch with us, Douglass Payne '04, Catherine Nichols '89 and Audrey Liles '13 can be reached toll-free at 877-962-3980. You're also welcome to email us at travel@unc.edu.

As you look to explore the world, know that travel safety and peace of mind remain the highest priorities for Carolina Alumni and AHI. We look forward to welcoming you aboard a Tar Heel Travel tour.

Go Heels and travel the world,
