One of our seasoned travelers wrote this and we thought it was worth sharing with everyone. Thanks Debra for your kind words.

Seasoned solo Peoria Charter traveler Debra Karplus writes:

With 8 trips behind me, and several upcoming multi-day road trips already booked, I can tell you that travelling solo with PCC is fabulous!!! Travel typically causes me great anxiety, but travelling with PCC is as low stress as is possible unless you stay home and vegetate on the sofa!

You’ll NEVER feel alone or lonely travelling solo. My first trip was to Nashville, May 2022, and I was super nervous before the trip. Tom was the tour host and instantly put me at ease, and by the time the trip was over, I had many new travel pals, who’ve surfaced on various trips since, and have been people I felt comfortable with at meals and on the trips, in general.

A few travel tips…

I’m a pro at packing light. Since weather can vary if you leave Illinois and head to a warm climate, for example, always think LAYERS. I pack tops and bottoms that mix and match; roll your clothes and you can fit much into your roller bag. I’m a big fan of comfort so I remember to pack a couple pairs of sturdy walking shoes with good soles that I’ve already broken in before the trip. I bring a pack of my larger shoes for late-in-the-day swollen feet. I pack prunes (no explanation needed here), and a few tea bags of my favorites since I’m very fussy, and I also pack snacks that are relatively healthy such as fruit chews and protein bars. Remember, NO dairy on the coach.

I keep a small backpack with me on the coach containing lightweight jacket, folding umbrella and rain poncho, snacks and water, a charger for my phone and IPad, and my pajamas and toothbrush so I can get ready for bed while awaiting the hotel luggage handling folks to bring my roller bag to my room.

I have a purse with numerous pockets. Very handy for knowing where all my stuff is such as travel documents, tissue, a pen, all my medications, chewing gum, and so on.

Some people spend a few bucks before the trip and buy a water bottle holder or even an organizer, both of which are available inexpensively online. They’re handy since some of the coaches don’t have specific spots to set your non-dairy beverage.

Still dubious? Get out of your comfort zone and book one of PCC’s shorter multi-day trips and see if you like it. Bets are that you will!
