We鈥檙e busy preparing for amazing 2027 and 2028 trips with travel partner Collette and others. These guided group trips are a perfect way to explore destinations you have always wanted to visit and experience. Each trip is packed with fun and informative activities, and plenty of free time to explore on your own or just relax. On October 6th, we held the trip presentation for the September 2027 Canadian Maritimes (Nova Scotia) and the December 2027 Magical Christmas Markets (Austria and Germany). My sincerest thanks to all who participated. There鈥檚 still plenty of time to sign up for these fantastic trips, and there鈥檚 more to come!
