International Travel Group Meeting - Sunday, December 1 @ 9:30am Pacific Time

We welcome everyone no matter where you live, so if you like to talk about travel please join us. Each meeting there will be topics to discuss. One topic focus on a country or large city. Please make suggestions of future places in Europe you may want to talk about. It could be a destination you are going to or considering, or even a place that you have a lot of knowledge of and would like to share with others.

Topics for this month:

  • England outside of London
  • When planning a trip how do you decide how flexible you should be with reservations?

Let me know in a reply to this post or with a PM if you are interested in joining us. If you have participated previously I already have your email address. If you haven’t you will need to send it to me in a PM. Please follow these instructions because I will not be able to reach out to individuals who fail to give me their email.

I will be emailing the Zoom link an hour or two before the meeting begins.
If you have told me you want to attend and then find out you can’t make it I would appreciate you letting me know.
Ideas for future meetings are welcome and can be brought up during the meeting, or you can PM me if you prefer.

Future meetings will be -

Can't wait and hope Chani is on the call, too. We had a meet-up in WI Dells last month. I was so sorry to miss last month's call on London.

It was a good meeting today. Thanks to everyone for your participation. We ended up talking about England (and London) for so long that we never got to our second topic. We will revisit it in the new year. Happy holidays to you all.
