For Boston visitors who want to tour its historic streets and see the city from a vantage point on the Charles River, the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel offers its Just Ducky package. Included is a Boston Duck Tour, conducted aboard an authentic, renovated World War II amphibious landing vehicle called a duck. The conDucktor provides little-known facts and interesting insights about Boston, but the highlight has to be the splashdown, when the duck rolls into the Charles River for a unique view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.

GRAND CANYON HELP IN HAND

FUNfinder Inc., a technology company based in Phoenix, has reached an agreement with Grand Canyon National Park to supply visitors with hand-held Global Positioning System units that will provide an interactive and easy way to navigate through the sometimes-confusing trails and intersecting roads at the Grand Canyon.

FUNfinder is venue-based, so it provides an easier user interface and information far beyond the usual, generic information that is currently found on maps or GPS units that are not programmed for a specific location. The easy-to-use, lightweight units are suitable for everyone, from "high-tech" kids to "low-tech" seniors.

The devices will function when the user is in the car or exploring by foot, and will not only help to navigate through the numerous sights and hiking trails at the Grand Canyon, but also will provide other logistical information, including locations of restrooms, lodging, shops and concessions. The GPS will also provide locations and routes to medical, fire and park security facilities, as well as pointing out handicap-accessible routes.

FYI: FUNfinder's GPS units will be available at the Grand Canyon beginning in June, and can be rented for under $12 at the National Geographic IMAX Visitor Center and at various locations inside the park. For more information on FUNfinder, call
602-279-3866 or visit www.funfindergps.com.
