ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL

The Company recognizes the revenues and related costs of operations upon the
completion of each tour departure.  The actual results reflect the timing of
the completion of such tour departures.  Because of the timing of recognition
of revenues and related costs, quarterly comparisons from year-to-year may not
be indicative of the Company's level of business activity for the compared
quarters or be indicative for the results of operations for the year.

The Company's business tends to be seasonal, with higher activity generally
occurring in the summer, early fall, and winter months.

Program revenues include revenues from the sale of base travel programs, as
well as optional products and services, including sightseeing, program
extensions, domestic airfare, and medical and educational seminars.
Cost of operations include the costs of airfare, ship, hotel and other
accommodations and services included in the base programs and optional
products and services.  Also included are the costs of creating and
distributing promotional materials and promotional expenses for each
program.

PROGRAM REVENUES

Program revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
1995, increased $7.2 million or 25.3%, from $28.2 million in 1995 to $35.4
million in 1996.  This increase was due to 1,919 more travelers,
representing a 34.7% increase, from 5,536 travelers in 1995 to 7,455
travelers in 1996. The increase in travelers was primarily attributable to
the scheduled operation of more third quarter tour departures of the
Mediterranean cruise programs in 1996 compared to 1995. This increase was
partially offset by a $353 decrease in the average revenue per traveler, or
6.9%, from $5,098 in 1995 to $4,745 in 1996.

Program revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
1995, increased $10.3 million or 17.4%, from $58.9 million in 1995 to $69.2
million in 1996.  This increase was due to 2,627 more travelers,
representing a 20.9% increase, from 12,563 travelers in 1995 to 15,190
travelers in 1996. The additional travelers were primarily attributable to
the USAA Welcome Aboard programs which were new in 1996.  The average
revenue per traveler decreased $136, or 2.9%, from $4,690 in 1995 and $4,554
in 1996.

COST OF OPERATIONS

Cost of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
1995, increased $6.8 million or 28.2%, from $23.9 million in 1995 to $30.7
million in 1996.  This increase reflects the increased level of program
costs resulting from more travelers. The average cost per traveler decreased
$207 per traveler, from $4,329 in 1995 to $4,122 in 1996. Costs of
operations increased as a percentage of program revenues from 84.9% in 1995
to 86.9% in 1996 due to higher promotional expenses associated with the
programs operating in the third quarter of 1996.

Cost of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
1995, increased $9.7 million or 19.4%, from $50.1 million in 1995 to $59.8
million in 1996.  This increase reflects the additional costs necessary to
support the increase in travelers. The average cost per traveler decreased
$50 per traveler, from $3,988 in 1995 to $3,938 in 1996.  Costs of
operations increased as a percentage of program revenues from

                                    6
<PAGE> 7
85.0% in 1995 to 86.5% in 1996 due to higher promotional expenses associated
with the programs operating in the first nine months of 1996.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
increased $0.4 million or 9.1%, from $4.2 million in 1995 to $4.6 million in
1996, as a result of increased revenues and higher relative costs of
operations in 1996. Gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues from
15.1% in 1995 to 13.1% in 1996, primarily due to the increased promotional
expenses incurred for the programs operating in the third quarter of 1996.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 1995,
increased $0.5 million or 6.1%, from $8.8 million in 1995 to $9.3 million in
1996, as a result of higher revenues and higher relative costs of operations
in 1996.  Gross profit decreased as a percentage of revenues from 15.0% in
1995 to 13.5% in 1996, primarily due to the increased promotional expenses
incurred for the programs operating in the first nine months of 1996.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to 1995, increased $0.4 million, or 13.9%, from
$2.5 million in 1995 to $2.9 million in 1996. This increase was primarily
due to higher incentive compensation, credit card transaction fees, and
expenses associated with operating as a publicly traded company (directors
fees, shareholder communications, and filing fees).  Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues from 8.9% in
1995 to 8.1% in 1996 due to the increase in program revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to 1995, increased $1.1 million, or 15.0%, from
$7.6 million in 1995 to $8.7 million in 1996. This increase was primarily
due to higher compensation costs, list management expenses, credit card
transaction fees, and public company expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues from 12.9% in
1995 to 12.6% in 1996 due to the increased expenses being offset by the
increase in program revenues.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
1995,  increased $14,000 from $331,000 in 1995 to $345,000 in 1996. This
increase was due to a higher rate of return earned on a lower level of
investable cash. The average monthly balance of cash and marketable
securities during the third quarter decreased from $25.7 million in 1995 to
$24.5 million in 1996.

Investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
1995, decreased $86,000 from $942,000 in 1995 to $856,000 in 1996 due
primarily to the inclusion of $100,000 of gains recognized on the sale of
marketable securities in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to fund its operations, capital expenditures, dividend
payments and treasury stock purchases through cash flows generated from
operations and from retained earnings.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, was $1.9 million and less than $0.1 million,
respectively. The Company recognizes program revenues as income upon the
completion of each tour departure.  Deferred revenue balances consist of
amounts received from travelers for tour departures which have not been
completed.  Of the $31.4 million of deferred revenue at September 30, 1996,
approximately $28.4 million, or 90.5%, relates to tour departures which will
be completed by December 31, 1996.  The balance of the deferred revenue,
$3.0 million,  relates to deposits and payments for tour departures which
will be completed during 1997.

The Company paid cash dividends of $1,952,000 and purchased 173,600 shares
of its common stock from the open market for $1,404,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.
