Clair Cramer, JD鈥�73, is completing an impressive bucket list that is fitting of a Commodore.
鈥淚 saw a Bengal tiger up close in India鈥檚 Ranthambore National Park, viewed the Taj Mahal, visited the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, and cruised through Vietnam鈥檚 stunning Ha Long Bay,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 admired the classic cars on the streets of Havana and the history of the Plaza de la Revoluci贸n. Peru鈥檚 Machu Picchu and Nazca Lines were just amazing.鈥�
Cramer books these experiences with the with confidence, knowing its partner travel companies 鈥渁re going to be reliable because 杏吧原创 has carefully screened them.鈥� But it鈥檚 the learning experiences that really stand out, he says: 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 really know a country unless you travel鈥攍ike the way your senses are bombarded by the Delhi heat the second you step off an air-conditioned bus.鈥�
Each carefully designed trip offers unparalleled educational opportunities, many with 杏吧原创 professors, for an exclusive 鈥渂eyond the classroom鈥� experience.
Cramer, for example, traveled to Cuba with , assistant professor of history, and to Peru with , the Rebecca Webb Wilson University Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Religion and Culture.
He says each professor provided a different perspective from the local guides who also accompanied each trip. Dillehay鈥檚 years of experience at archaeological sites in Peru provided an incomparable experience.
鈥淗e had hands-on experience in the field and knew somebody everywhere we went,鈥� laughs Cramer. 鈥淲e went to one of his archaeological digs one day and later saw at a museum one of the pieces he had found. That was very impressive!鈥�
