Booklovers will delight in a visit to see everything Shakespeare in Stratford-Upon-Avon, where they'll see the Bard's home in the town where he wrote most of his greatest works. In York, guests explore the old walls of the city and make their way through the quaint narrow streets to York Minster, one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in the world.

One of five new CostSaver itineraries, the 10-day Highlights of the Italian Lakes introduces travelers to the more remote parts of Italy, outside of the bustling cities.

Highlights of Germany
Travelers looking for the best of what Germany has to offer can book the 13-day Highlights of Germany, based on the Best of Germany itinerary from the First Class brochure. With the same quality of service and expertise knowledge as its predecessor, this itinerary offers fantastic group sightseeing as well as free time for guests to create their own sightseeing schedule. Starting and ending in charming Frankfurt, guests immerse themselves in the cultures of some of Germany's most fascinating cities, including Munich, Rothenburg, Dresden and Heidelberg to name a few. A Local Guide in Berlin ensures that guests don't miss any of the sights as they learn about the monuments, memorials and social history of the re-united city. Highlights of the trip include a picturesque cruise along the Rhine with views of medieval hilltop castles, a trip to Oberammergau (home of the Passion Play) and a scenic drive through the legendary Black Forest.

New research from Stanford shows that brain scans can identify the neural differences between these two children, and could one day lead to an early warning system for struggling students. The researchers scanned the brain anatomy of 39 children once a year for three consecutive years. The students then ...
