Celebrate the New Year with Roses and RJ Harris

Celebrating the new year with millions of roses certainly would be a big bill from the florist, but not if you are celebrating at the world-famous Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. Join RJ Harris of WHP 580 Radio on a holiday getaway for a spectacular start to 2009! Treat yourself to some of California’s most popular places and annual events with a four-night stay in lovely Long Beach, December 29, 2008 - January 2, 2009.

RJ Harris, the popular radio talk-show host of WHP 580’s "RJ Harris in the Morning," enjoys sharing his enthusiasm for travel with his radio listeners and now he wants you to come along with him to California to share the fun. Past group trips with RJ have netted him a loyal following and the stories they tell of travels with RJ are an entertaining mix of legend and lore.

"AAA Travel knows the best way to go," says RJ, "so join me in California on this colorful holiday tour. When we are together on this one-of-a-kind vacation, I know you will thank me over and over again!"

As you may have heard on the "RJ Harris in the Morning" radio show, here is a preview of AAA’s New Year’s Getaway with RJ Harris as your vacation host:

• AAA Travel provides you charter motorcoach transfers right from Harrisburg to BWI Airport for your flight to Los Angeles - "The City of Angels." Fabulous Long Beach will be your home for four nights at a first-class hotel.

This colorful moving spectacle of floral decorated floats, marching bands and horse units can be appreciated fully only with your own eyes.
