Party with a Purpose from Patchington!

Bringing awareness to domestic violence through fashion!

                                              
Sarasota, Fla. – August 17, 2015 -Domestic violence is a problem that plagues our society. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in every three women will become a victim to domestic violence in her lifetime. Although historically, females are most often victimized, domestic violence can affect anyone regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, or other factors. For more than 15 years, Patchington has partnered with our local communities to bring awareness to domestic violence.

“This is the kick-off of our six week domestic violence awareness campaign,” said Michael Levich, Patchington CEO and President. “We are passionate about this cause and are excited to add this new event to our other initiatives such as our bi-annual Trade-In Event,” Levich continued.

We are proud to report that many women across Florida have joined us in aiding victims of domestic violence during Patchington’s multiple charity events. Customers can help the cause during our Party with a Purpose event by donating $10 to SPARCC (Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center). With the purchase of a $10 ticket, customers become eligible to receive 30% off their purchases during the event! This season’s event will run from September 17-19, 2015.

Tauck and BBC Earth introduce Earth Journeys - Wild Alaska


New for 2015, explore the wild heart of Alaska with Tauck and BBC Earth on small group departures averaging 26 Tauck guests! 
Our ten-day tour takes you away from the well-traveled routes of the Inside Passage to less-visited places of spectacular beauty and one-of-a-kind experiences... flightseeing the vast glacier-clad landscapes and peaks of Denali (America’s highest mountain)... cruising the Kenai Fjord, known for its resident sea lions, dolphins, whales, bald eagles and dramatic vistas... bear-watching on Crescent Lake in salmon season, where the brown bears are close and numerous... making canine friendships at a kennel that raises champion sled dogs... wilderness hikes with an expert naturalist guide who offers invaluable knowledge and insights... meeting wildlife (like bison, elk, bears, and caribou) up close at a refuge for displaced and orphaned animals... gadgets and equipment used by professional wildlife photographers and filmmakers such as camera traps (for photographing wildlife after hours) and shotgun microphones / specialized microphones (for sounds not readily accessible to human ears)... and multiple-night stays at outstanding wilderness lodges (with all the comforts of home), including Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge (where the dining room offers panoramic views of Denali and the Alaskan Range); Seward Windsong Lodge, set in a wooded glacier valley beside the Resurrection River; and Knik River Lodge, a colony of first-class cabins (and a gourmet restaurant) surrounded by the snowcapped peaks of the Chugach Mountains.



DAY 1 - Arrive Anchorage

Tour begins: 5:30 PM, Hotel Captain Cook. A transfer is included from Anchorage International Airport to the Hotel Captain Cook in the heart of downtown, within walking distance of museums, shops, and restaurants. Only minutes away from unspoiled wilderness, Anchorage nestles beside Cook Inlet with the spectacular backdrop of the Chugach Mountains. Join us at the hotel for a welcome reception and dinner.
Lodging: Hotel Captain Cook Meals: D

DAY 2 - Happy trails to Talkeetna
Wind your way from Anchorage to glacier-carved Matanuska Valley, a region of scenic mountain vistas, spruce forests and thousands of lakes. Rustic lodges, farmsteads, and small towns unwind along wilderness highways until you arrive at Big Lake, a popular area for camping, fishing and water sports; in winter, the passion here is dog sledding, and the big annual event is the Iditarod race from Anchorage to Nome. Visit Happy Trails Kennel, where four-time Iditarod winner Martin Buser breeds and trains sled dogs for the world-famous 1,000-mile marathon; you’ll have a chance to get acquainted with some of these up-and-coming champions, who are bred for speed and athleticism (and love to be petted). You’ll also learn about the special dynamics of the sport: the bond between dogs and musher, the dogs’ ability to conquer long distances in harsh weather and extreme temperatures, and the indelible role of dog sledding in Alaskan history and culture. Following lunch, drive on to the historic town of Talkeetna. With a population of less than 500 and one paved road, its rustic character offers a taste of small-town Alaska, from the general store to the roadhouse, as well as a staging area for climbing expeditions to Mt. McKinley. Arrive at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, set high on a bluff overlooking the town and distant peaks of the Alaskan Range, where you’ll attend a naturalist lecture on the feats, and challenges, of climbing America’s highest mountain.
Lodging: Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge Meals: B L D

DAY 3 - Guided hikes with a naturalist guide
 Explore the scenic places surrounding Talkeetna on a morning hike with a naturalist guide. The town’s setting at the confluence of three rivers makes it an attractive area for outdoor sports, and a magnet for wildlife (beaver, moose, bears, and bald eagles) that frequent the lush forests and shorelines. Your morning hike takes you around Byers Lake, a true nature paradise inside Denali. Your guide will provide insights into both natural and human history surrounding the shimmering, clear lake – the views are amazing, and the wildflowers and plants unique. Drop in for lunch at Mary Carey’s McKinley View Lodge, where the café is bedecked with native crafts and memorabilia of the legendary pioneer woman who established the inn. Following lunch, embark on an afternoon nature hike, again accompanied by a naturalist guide – you’ll enjoy working with the gadgets that professional nature photographers and filmmakers use in the wild. Return to Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, where the evening is free to spend as you please – perhaps enjoying the magnificent rock fireplace in the Great Room. 
Lodging: Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge Meals: B L 

DAY 4 - Flying over Denali
Visit the Talkeetna Historical Society Museum this morning with the naturalist; the town evolved from gold mining days to its status today as the gateway to Mt. McKinley (known here as “Denali”). The museum’s main exhibit is a large three-dimensional topographical map of the mountain and surrounding glaciers which your naturalist guide will use to walk you through its unique geological features and history. The model becomes real in dramatic, titanic scale this afternoon when you board a ski plane for a flightseeing tour of the real thing. Denali (the Athabascan name, meaning “the High One”) lives up to its legend, soaring 20,000 feet above sea level, and your bird’s-eye view takes in all its breathtaking landscape, from alpine tundra and snowcapped peaks to vast rambling glaciers within Denali National Park. Weather permitting, your ski plane may touch down on a glacier for an unforgettable close-up view, before you fly on to Wasilla. Then drive on to your next destination, Knik River Lodge, featuring wilderness cabins, and the comforts of home, in a tranquil mountain setting.
Lodging: Knik River Lodge Meals: B D 

DAY 5 - Wildlife and Windsong
Visit the nonprofit Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, where orphaned and displaced animals are cared for, rehabilitated, and sometimes re-released into the wild. Here you’ll have a chance to see (and photograph) native wildlife up close, including bison, moose, elk, musk oxen, coyotes, grizzly bears, eagles, and caribou; watch feedings; and learn about ongoing efforts to conserve and restore endangered animal populations. Drive on to your next destination, the coastal town of Seward (named for the U. S. Secretary of State who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867). Nestled beside Resurrection Bay on scenic Kenai Peninsula, and surrounded by mountains, the town retains the aura of its early days as a trading outpost on the edge of a spectacular wilderness. Check into the Seward Windsong Lodge outside of the town, set among fragrant spruce trees beside the rushing Resurrection River. Get a taste of fresh local cuisine tonight at Chinooks, a restaurant in Seward.
Lodging: Seward Windsong Lodge Meals: B D

DAY 6 - Cruising the Kenai Fjord
Set out on a full day’s excursion cruising the Kenai Fjord, where you’ll have an opportunity to learn about the species that live here. Dramatic scenes of the Ice Age linger in glacial landscapes – see a “tidewater” glacier as you cruise amidst carved rugged peaks, rocky shores and dense forests. You may get a chance to see puffins, whales, porpoises, sea lions and other fish that whales feed on; like this beautiful alien world, they are endlessly photogenic. Return to the lodge for dinner this evening.
Lodging: Seward Windsong Lodge Meals: B L D

DAY 7 - Sea life and living glaciers
Go behind the scenes on a visit to the Alaska Sealife Center, an aquarium, ocean wildlife rescue center and research facility. Enjoy close encounters with puffins and octopus, and view other Alaskan sea life while rubbing shoulders with the scientists who study them. Lunch on your own in Seward, then it’s on to your next eye-opening stop at Portage Glacier. The glacier itself is in retreat, but at the state-of-the-art visitors center you can experience a living glacier from the inside. Depart for Anchorage where you will arrive at your hotel, the Hotel Captain Cook, late in the afternoon. 
Lodging: Hotel Captain Cook Meals: B D

DAY 8 - Bear watching on Crescent Lake
Fly to remote Redoubt Mountain Lodge (the only way to get there) inside Lake Clark National Park, then set out for a bear-watching excursion* on Crescent Lake, surrounded by stunning mountain landscapes. When the salmon are running, the brown bears come to the shore to fish, and from your small boat on the lake, you’ll have a chance to see and photograph them up close. Lunch at the lodge (there’s a good chance it will be salmon) then fly back to urban Anchorage.
Lodging: Hotel Captain Cook Meals: B L

DAY 9 - The Anchorage Museum and a farewell evening
The Anchorage Museum is world class, a treasure house of objects, artifacts, photos, maps and exhibits that document Alaska’s rich and unique history, from its early exploration and whaling industry to the Gold Rush, railroads, and more. The Smithsonian maintains an Arctic Studies Center here, and a docent will lead you through its outstanding First Nations gallery, exhibiting many Alutiq and Aleut artifacts. Late afternoon, a documentary vignette focuses on a wildlife cameraman and his relationship with the bears that he films in the wild. Join us tonight for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant that caps your unforgettable, image-filled journey to Alaska’s wild side.

MYSTERIES OF THE INCA EMPIRE (1300)

11 days from #Lima #Peru

Starting at: $2,199.00 (not including airfare)*



Day 1 Lima, Peru
Welcome to Lima, Peru. Heralded as the “City of Kings” by Spanish conquistadors, Lima retains vestiges of its opulent past with its colonial buildings and world-class museums.

Day 2 Lima
Sightseeing today focuses on Lima’s colonial heritage. Founded in 1535, Lima was once capital of Spain’s South American Empire. Visit the baroque 11th-century SAN FRANCISCO MONASTERY, with Spanish and Moorish architecture throughout. Continue to Plaza Mayor, where you will see the Government Palace that houses the presidential palace and was once the home of Francisco Pizarro, founder of Lima and conqueror of Peru. Nearby, see the Cathedral where Pizarro’s remains are buried. The remainder of your day is free to explore. Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant this evening. (Breakfast, Dinner)

Day 3 Lima–Cusco–Sacred Valley
Fly to Cusco high in the Andes and upon arrival, descend into the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Stop at AWANAKANCHA and learn about the importance of Camelids (llama, vicuña, alpaca, and guanaco) for Inca cultures. See them up close and learn how their coats are transformed into precious weaving fibers used in ancient weaving techniques still in use today. Continue to your hotel in the peaceful Sacred Valley. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Day 4 Sacred Valley
Start the day with a visit to the village of OLLANTAYTAMBO and the Inca ruins of the same name. Explore the archaeological site that was the scene of the Inca resistance during the Spanish conquest—the only place ever to resist Spanish attacks. See how the temple area at the top of the terraces was the perfect defensive stronghold, then visit a LOCAL HOME in this Incan town to experience life in a traditional village, which has been remarkably well preserved. Continue to PISAC, a charming village with an infamous INDIAN MARKET, where you have plenty of time to browse the many colorful stalls selling handicrafts ranging from alpaca sweaters and blankets to painted vases and sterling silver. (Breakfast)

Day 5 Sacred Valley–Machu Picchu
Board the VISTADOME train that cuts a path through the picturesque Urubamba Valley bound for Aguas Calientes, the quaint town closest to the “Lost City of the Incas.” Ascend the mountainside through tropical forest to the sacred refuge of MACHU PICCHU. Listen as your guide recounts the many accomplishments of the Incas as you tour the terraced ruins dating back to the 15th century. The ruins went undiscovered for nearly 400 years after they were abandoned when the Inca Empire fell to the Spanish. Many mysteries surrounding Machu Picchu remain to this day. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Day 6 Machu Picchu–Cusco
Awaken early and use your included second entrance to MACHU PICCHU to see the sunrise over the ruins. You will be awe-struck as the sun first illuminates the ruins, free of crowds. Later, return to Cusco, former capital of the Inca Empire. The remainder of your day free to relax. (Breakfast)

Day 7 Cusco
Embark on a guided sightseeing tour of Cusco that focuses on the city that was once the political, military, and cultural epicenter of the Incas until the Spanish toppled it. In fact, Inca foundations can still be found in Cusco, with the Spanish baroque structures built on top. Visit the SANTO DOMINGO MONASTERY, where these two forms of architecture are melded together with the temple of both cultures atop one another. Also see the CATHEDRAL in the Plaza de Armas, housing a magnificent collection of artwork, including a depiction of The Last Supper that portrays the apostles dining on cuy (guinea pig). Continue to the hillside overlooking Cusco for a visit to the TEMPLE OF SACSAYHUAMAN. Some of the best examples of Inca masonry can be found at this fortress, where stones weighing up to 350 tons are pieced together to form a complex that could house up to 10,000 men. Learn about the ceremonies and battles that took place here, then see the ruins of Kenko and Puca Pucara before returning to Cusco. (Breakfast, Dinner)

Day 8 Cusco–Juliaca–Puno
Fly to Juliaca, then transfer to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Legend says the first Inca, Manco Capac, arose from the waters of the lake by the power of the Sun God to found the Inca Empire. (Breakfast)

Day 9 Puno. Lake Titicaca
Experience fascinating LAKE TITICACA today as you embark on a motorboat tour of the highest navigable lake in the world and its manmade islands. On TAQUILE ISLAND, see how the local people integrate their Inca and Spanish past. This is evident by the Spanish peasant dresses made of Andean textiles—the islanders make some of the finest in all of Peru. Continue to the UROS FLOATING ISLANDS, a group of approximately 40 artificially made islands. Learn how the Uros Indians construct their islands, homes, boats, and many other resources completely of tortora reed, a centuries-old practice. Enjoy a farewell dinner hosted by your Tour Director this evening. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
