SUMMARY:A Day of Iowa Touring . . . . Cedar Rapids - #_LOCATIONNAME - 3 Dec

DESCRIPTION:This is our fourth in the series of “2012” Iowa travels for
  JH Travel!  We are headed northeastern for this trip visiting Cedar Rapi
 ds\, Iowa area for this discovery of Iowa’s hidden treasures! Come along
  to learn how this town survived the awful Flood of 2008 and as we are tou
 ring and eating in places that have recovered to see the challenges they h
 ave overcome!\n\nOur first stop on our itinerary is for a tour of Theatre 
 Cedar Rapids which is the region’s largest &amp\; longest operating comm
 unity theatre with 900 volunteers and 11 full-time staff that contract art
 ists to create a lineup of wonderful productions and educate more than 50\
 ,000 eastern Iowans of all ages! Lunch in the atrium followed by a tour is
  our next stop at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center.  This is Iowa’s newest 
 boutique hotel that offers everything!  With an extensive art collection 
 and inside is a teaching facility which prepares the finest professionals 
 to lead in the global hospitality field.  Students serve in many roles in
  the hotel which we will view on our tour.  We are in for a real treat as
  we visit the Rockwell Collins Museum.  Our group will learn about produc
 ts that made this company successful in the early 1930’s.  The very fir
 st antenna that heard GPS in 1977 along with the Morse Code telegraph key 
 that sent the first message through space just to name a couple of interes
 ting facts that we will see or hear! At the National Czech &amp\; Slovak M
 useum we will learn about its very slow move across the street with the he
 lp of hydraulics and major I-beams in 2011 with the new date of opening th
 e museum on July 14\, 2012.  The Rising Above Exhibit is where the group 
 will learn about what the museum did to save the artifacts and how the flo
 oding affected the many businesses in the area.  A Czech meal at Al’s B
 lue Toad completes our day with homemade dumplings\, kraut &amp\; red cabb
 age and of course . . . strudel for dessert! A surprise gift for each pers
 on will be given on the way back to Newton which is a favorite of the Czec
 h people.  Hum. . . I wonder what it might be?\n\nJoin JH Travel as we di

  2008 as an adventure!\n\nDepart:  8:00 a.m.\n\nReturn:  9:00 p.m.\n\nRe
