Go Giver Travel

06/22/2023

Hi, all!! Time for another monthly meeting of the Brazos River Travel Club.

As I reported in my last email to you and as we discussed in the meeting last month, we had good interest in the fall trip to Sante Fe/Albuquerque, New Mexico (October 1-7, 2023). Well, it's time now to commit since, as most of you will recall, we need at least thirty for a bus trip. Please note that we will need a deposit check made out to "Go Giver Travel" on Monday. If you are unable to attend the meeting, kindly send a check made out to "Go Giver Travel" to Donna next week (9615 Ravenswood Rd, Granbury, TX 76049). The deposit amount per person is $75 and the entire trip cost is $795 per person. We will discuss this and answer any questions you may have at the meeting.

The results of our survey showed strong interest in a trip to New England, and we have researched that to fall of 2024. The cost of the trip is nearly $1000 more than the advertised 2023 edition of the trip with Collette. No minimum number is needed and of course, we don't have to use Collette. This, too, will be a topic to discuss at our meeting.

The survey also showed Alaska and the Caribbean as the next two most liked destinations. Think about both and let's kick around some ideas. It is likely these trips would be cruises and therefore, just like the New England trip, would not have a minimum requirement.

Hope to see you Monday! Have a great weekend!

Don't know this cost of this but it will be worth looking into when we all get back to traveling abroad.

COVAC GLOBAL offers a first-of-its-kind membership program that will arrange and fund private flights to repatriate members who come down with COVID-19 while abroad.

With airline luggage restrictions it is a must to pack sensibly. My rule when ever possible is to only have one large suitcase and a backpack. That is something I can handle easily. With bags you can handle you cad do self disembarkation from cruise ship which eliminates wait time and finding your bags in a sea of luggage. Self disembark is first off the ship.

It makes sense; if you have limited suitcase space, you can stretch your outfit choices by mixing and matching clothes that are similar shades. Wear

Great packing tips. I roll most of my clothes when packing. It not only saves space but is much easier to pack/unpack or to live out of.

Are you the kind of cruiser who insists on packing everything except the kitchen sink? Maybe you think of things in pairs and pack a spare...

I always recommend travel insurance either through the cruise line or an independent agency such as Allianz. So many unexpected things can happen and insurance give you a peace of mind knowing you are financially protected.

How would cruise insurance help in situations like the one passengers on the Viking Sky experienced?

Now is the time to make reservations for you Spring and Summer travel. Prices will probably go up, not down. Besides all that it will give you something to look forward to while shoveling snow this winter.

"DON'T TOUCH MY JUNK" What do you think about full body scanners vs pat down? Or should we be subjected to either.

Bobsledding down the unlikeliest mountain - Ocho Rios Jamaica. Looking for a new experience in Jamaica? Try going to Mystic Mountain, home of the Jamaican Olympic Bobsled team Once there, a 20 minute chairlift over the canopy of a rain forest takes you to the summit where you board your bobsled for an adrenalin pumping ride down the wooden track. You control the speed. Not your grandmother's Jamaica
