I met Val in July of 2004 when I wanted to take a trip to the Fall Foliage in Atlantic Canada. She matched me with a travel companion from Nanaimo to avoid the single supplement This was a wonderful trip. I would recommend this club to anyone. I am already registered for other trips the Club is offering. Lillian __________________________________________________________________________________ In May I travelled with 16 members of the Club to four Greek Islands and Athens. It was a wonderful holiday. Everything was well planned and the accomodations were excellent. Earlier this year a group visited Cuba. We spent 3 days in Havana & 4 days in Varadero. Great trip, good accomodations & everything went smoothly. Pat __________________________________________________________________________________ How life begins at 60 Well, I will start off by saying something really corny, yet very true. This travel club has opened up a whole new world for me. As a retired widow, it was difficult to find friends to travel with. Those who could afford it, could not get away, those who had the time, did not have the money. You know the story. It is much too expensive and lonely to travel alone. Then I happened to attend a travel meeting and Val gave a presentation on a South Africa trip. Well, it sounded wonderful, so I signed up, not knowing who my roommate would be, and hoping we would be compatible, and especially hoping she would not be a neat freak! Well, I was delighted on both counts. We have had three overseas trips together and one road trip since. The travel club meets once a month and those who attend discuss where they would like to go. There is a lot of sharing from experienced travelers and very interesting presentations from various travel agencies. We make suggestions on the type of accommodation we would like and can afford and the things that would be the most interesting to us, taking into consideration our physical abilities, etc. etc. Obviously some of us are not going bungy jumping or snowboarding! Val takes all these factors into consideration and puts together the best possible trips for us. We as a group have a great deal of flexibility in regards to the sights we wish to see. If we are not interested in seeing 16 dancing snakes, we can omit that part of the trip! This group is a wonderful opportunity to combine the joys of travel with the interesting conversation and company of our group. We also enjoy those who join us from other parts of the world. Everyone there loves the new experiences and delights of travel. I look forward to the trip to India in November and Kenya next spring. There is always something exciting to anticipate just around the next corner!
