Omaha: Something Old... Lots New Tour
Tuesday-Thursday, April 12-14, 2016
Tuesday, April 12
Omaha
After taking a year off, it’s time to return to Omaha with a few highlights from past visits and some
exciting and very interesting new adventures. Five new attractions have been added, and this year
we’ll be staying at the beautiful Ramada Plaza. Bring your appetites for some great included meals.
We’ll make a fast food stop in Sioux City, Iowa, en route. Then the excitement begins! Our tour will
begin with a Historical Driving Tour. We’ll drive by Warren Buffet’s house and the birth-site of
President Gerald Ford. We’ll stop at Pioneer Courage Park (This is unbelievably awesome!)
where you can walk among a nearly life-size sculpture replica of an 1850’s wagon train. Next we’ll
check into the Ramada Plaza, our home for the next two evenings. Time will be allowed to relax
and freshen up. Our evening destination is a Greek Evening at St. John’s Greek Orthodox
Church. We’ll tour 100 year old St. John’s and learn the background of their religion. Then we’ll
enjoy an included Greek dinner consisting of Kota Riganoto (chicken Greek style) with potatoes
or rice, vegetable dish, salad, beverage and Baklava for dessert. Our visit will conclude with a
Greek dancing demonstration. Then we’ll return to the Ramada Plaza for the evening with a busy
day ahead.

As we begin day two with an included breakfast buffet, we’ll be treated to a Ukrainian “Linens &
Traditions” Presentation by Olesia Reprichowskij, who brings various Ukrainian linens and gives
us an entertaining presentation about the linens’ connection to Ukrainian history, customs and
traditions. Olesia will have us laughing while educating us about life in the Ukraine. All proceeds go
to restore a historic church in the Ukraine. We’ll then depart for a Hindu Temple Tour. We’ll learn
about the Hindu religion as we view the beautiful architecture and sculptures in the temple. We will
be required to remove our shoes. Hungry? Our next stop is an included French lunch at LeVoltaire
Restaurant and a presentation by owner and chef Cedric Fichepain. (Lunch options are on page
three of this brochure.) Our next stop is the world famous Father Flanagan’s Boys Town. An actual
working town, Boys Town is an inspirational stop. We’ll visit the hall of history to learn the
interesting history of this city of children. We’ll view beautiful chapels and tour the restored 1920’s
home of Father Flanagan. Upon request, Boys Town will also send you a video of the famous 1930’s
movie “Boys Town” with Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney. A short time to visit the gift shop will
be allowed. Then we’ll return to the Ramada Plaza to relax and freshen up. Our evening destination
is the German American Society where we’ll be treated to an included German Dinner with
Entertainment. Finally, we’ll return to the Ramada Plaza. Day two is complete.
Thursday, April 14 Home
After an included hot breakfast buffet, our final day begins with a Lithuanian Bakery
Presentation. We’ll listen to the Machevicius family talk about their family escaping Germany in
WWII and moving to Omaha to start a bakery business. There will be samples. You will definitely be
impressed! Our second stop of the day will be the Durham Museum which is dedicated to
preserving and displaying the history of the United States’ western region. The museum is housed in
Omaha’s former Union Station. Our final stop in Omaha has been featured on the Food
Channel. We’ll enjoy an included 2 piece oven fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and
gravy, cornbread, homemade ice cream and beverage. Our visit to Omaha is complete and we’re
on our way back to Minnesota with a fast food stop and lots to talk about on our way home after
three great days of awesome attractions and many great memories!
