And another one! Ken's article in the Jerusalem Post about the ShabbatFriendly" Vietnam tour (made the front page!)

This was destined to be a journey that would either strengthen or destroy the bond we always had.

Meet your Vietnam es**rt: Ken Gruber

"I've been involved with travel, tourism and hospitality since day one. A Canadian immigrant who was born in the US to British parents, I practically came out of the womb with a passport, raring to go. I have traveled extensively all over the world, and managed to turn my passions into professions, obtaining a Masters degree from Cornell's Hotel/Hospitality program, working for hotels and tourist boards, and publishing articles on some of my journeys.
As a fiercely independent traveler and a Shabbat-observant Jew, I was never much interested in visiting destinations with a group.That changed when I did a recent tour to Morocco with Intrepid, which specializes in "solo group travel". A perfect combination of singles and couples, older and younger people, respectful to all needs,group activities mixed plenty of alone time; I had discovered my travel future- and one that I wanted to share with others who were like minded. If you're reading this, that's likely you!

So please join me on this wonderful Vietnamese adventure- space is extremely limited (the group will be purposefully SMALL) so sign up today!

Ken Gruber"
