Welcome to the June 2004 issue of The Traveler!

Everyone here at The Traveler is getting geared up for our African Wildlife Safari in Botswana next month. More about this exciting trip and a host of other fun travel tidbits are in our Travel Ideas, Resources, and Bargains section.

We have five feature articles this month for your enjoyment. Our writers take us on a walking tour of Chinatown in San Francisco and canal boating in Great Britain; we'll also discover a better way to enjoy a few weeks in France, feel the excitement of seeing a tiger in its natural habitat, and explore a not-yet-overdeveloped Mexican jewel on the Yucatan Peninsula.

We'll round out this issue with our travel writing Pick-of-the-Month.

That's a lot to keep your sense of adventure and discovery engaged - Enjoy!

Look for the July issue of The Traveler to arrive in your inbox a little earlier than usual next month; we'll be sending out the July issue the week of the 12th to accommodateThe Traveler's adventures in Africa during the last half of July.
