Imagine three nights at a five-star Lisbon hotel, followed by a seven-night luxury sailing on the glorious Douro River (May 12 – 22). All the while you’re touring the beautiful countryside. And in between the fine dining and relaxing receptions, you’re enjoying numerous panel sessions discussing current events. Imagine

  • figuring out the 2010 elections with Dick Morris,
  • and with Ralph Reed,
  • discussing the administration’s 10-thumbed Middle East policy with former Commentary editor Norman Podhoretz,
  • and its jaw-dropping treatment of terrorists with former Attorney General Michael Mukasey,
  • exploring the state of Americas culture with acclaimed author and social critic Midge Decter,
  • and the state of conservatism with Wall Street Journal columnist Bill McGurn,
  • as well as National Review Institute president Kate O’Beirne,
  • discovering just how statist the EU is with European parliament member and Tory star Dan Hannan,
  • judging our military prospects in Afghanistan with Bing West,
  • dissecting major domestic and social trends with National Review Online Editor-at-large Kathryn Lopez,
  • and just how biased our media has become with National Review Deputy Managing Editor Kevin Williamson.
