It's All About Europe
Travelling reveals pieces of ourselves we never knew existed before, and excites parts of our mind previously left untouched.  To me, nothing is more interesting than visiting the different areas of Europe – so many languages, cultures and history.
.
Fascinating history is all around you when you are on a trip to Europe. Roman ruins, war relics, medieval castles, timeless artefacts, magnificent cathedrals – everywhere you look there is something from the past with a captivating story.
And, then there is the great food. Italian carbonara, Greek salad – and all of these wonderful meals taste even better when you eat them in the countries of their origin.

No matter what you’re looking for, when you travel around Europe, you’ll find new experiences, new cultures and, most importantly, new friends along the way.

Here are a few of our choices:
One of my favorite vacations was a month long cruise that we took before the pandemic. I think it's time to experience another one.

Married, single, traveling with a partner? We can accommodate all of you. All we ask is that you are 40+ and share a love of travel and adventure. This group is a perfect way for you to travel and not have to go alone. Of course, you can bring along a non-member to share with, too. I travel often and I always have a full list of places I want to visit. I am a travel agent and I have been to more than 99 countries. I organize all of trips, but I do not travel with every group.

I am heading back to New York, driving from our winter home in West Palm Beach. I am busy planning the stops - northern Florida, North Carolina and New Jersey. See you here next month.
