Coeur d'Alene/Spokane Travel Group - Aug. 3 at Woops Bakery; Art in the Park Weekend

If you live in the area or are visiting the area, welcome! We’re a friendly, casual mix of attendees - some seasoned travelers & others planning a new trip or tour experience. We have a variety of travel styles that makes a wonderful mix of experiences and conversation.

We will meet at our usual spot at 10am - Woops! French Bakery, 119 N 4th St, in downtown Coeur d'Alene.

Art in the Park is this weekend, plus the street of vendors on Sherman Ave, so park north of the bakery.

Any specific topic requests or questions for this month?

I’m considering some Christmas Market options.

Yea! I will be there! I've got my Streetwise Paris map in my purse already to give to Kim and Terry for their upcoming trip, lol. I use the CityMapper app now but the Streetwise maps help get you oriented to the bigger picture. Editing to add...it's a laminated map so maybe I'll mark where I think their hotel is on it!

Christmas Markets sound good especially if it's a hot day, hahaha!

Me, too! I’m planning a week solo in London, so I have questions for our solo travel gurus!

Nixed the plan for the Christmas Markets, but I bought a flight last night for an off-season trip. : )

We should have 1-2 new people at our meeting tomorrow. Yeah!

Not sure I’ll make it with the heat. Plus, my tabs have expired and even though I renewed and paid for them several weeks ago, apparently they are lost in the mail.

Kathy -solo London - check out London walks. I love doing these when I’m by myself.

What the heck, Leslie? Will you be at the Sept meeting or will you have left for your next trip? The heat today is pretty awful....

I plan on being there in Sept and I planned on being there tomorrow. Something is going on with my mail delivery. I had a package out for delivery today and I got an alert it was forwarded to another address.
At least I ll be in Paris when we meet up.

Hi all! I'm planning on being there! Had a little trouble finding this new thread or would have commented earlier. ;) Maybe tomorrow someone can show me the easiest way to search for the new thread when it is posted?

Hi Angela B, glad you’re coming this morning! I usually post the next meeting 7-10 days ahead. If you’re not seeing it in the general long list (since there’s a lot of activity on the forum now), you can look under the pull-down category. They’re under the middle option of “Tips & Trip Reports” and then the last choice on the pull-down list, “Travel Group Meetings”.

By default, we’re the first Saturday of the month, but I have switched a few in the winter to a Zoom meeting when we’re expecting snow or ice that day.
