Adventures at home and abroad deals from Austin-Lehman (Photos)

Here's some one-stop shopping deals for Los Angeles globetrotters planning their 2012 vacations from Austin-Lehman (http://www.austinlehman.com/) that are really worth considering especially for Angelenos who love active adventures, wine tasting and relaxing. And whom among us doesn't?

The company that set adventure vacations standards in Napa, Sonoma, San Francisco, New Mexico, Europe, Africa and beyond, is offering nine new 2012 itineraries for cyclists, wine enthusiasts and families. "The key to budget travel is to plan onward. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Arranging and spending our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Minimizing consuming and costs, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal budget is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel costs!..". Plus theres an early bird booking incentive on all past programs offering 2011 pricing on trips booked on or before Oct. 10, 2011.

The full 2012 season lineup is now online at: http://www.austinlehman.com/2012-schedule-pages-570.php and a listing of all the new trips for 2012 is at: http://www.austinlehman.com/2012-new-trips-pages-451.php.

Available winter of 2011 is Yellowstone Winter, a five day/four night program out of Bozeman, MT, with departures in February and March.

With sold out Yellowstone programs in 2011, we needed to look for additional opportunities in the Park, said Dan Austin, ALA founder and owner. Yellowstone Winter is just that, a completely different season in our nations first National Park. Activities will include cross country skiing, snow shoeing and dog sledding.

Stay domestic

Five trips, close to home, beginin the late spring and runthrough the fall include a six day/five night California: Napa/Sonoma wine country beginning and ending in San Francisco that includes cycling, hiking and wine tasting.

Another new addition to ALAs national parks trips is the Yellowstone Family Camp Adventure, a five day/four night lodge and cowboy camp program based out of Bozeman, MT.

Across the pond:

A nine day/eight night Chile/Argentina: Wine Country program has departures in February, March and over the 2012 December holiday, beginning and ending in Santiago.

The popularity of trips that focus on wine and cycling has exploded over the last few years, said Austin, noting that his team is pedaling hard to keep up with demand and look to develop and feature new cycling trips to the planets top wine regions over the next few years.

Austin said that the enjoyment of these active vacations is enhanced by engaging guests on bike, horseback and on foot in the living cultural experiences available in these extraordinary destinations.
