Wow, it's February already! After a bitter cold early January (as low as 0 degrees!), and a downright tropical week just past (as high as 80 degrees!) we're ready for the Oklahoma weather roller coaster to calm down a bit, as we settle in for the last month of winter. The time is flying by, and speaking of flying...
The next Tulsa Area Rick Steves Travel Group Meeting will be Saturday, February 17, at Panera Bread at 41st and Hudson in Tulsa (that's 5601 E. 41st, between Yale and Sheridan), at 9:30 a.m.
We discussed changing our meeting place last month, but decided to stay where we are for now, but we are planning to start a little earlier. We've had more people showing up lately, which is good, but it's harder for arrange ourselves so that everyone can be included in the conversation. That's part of the reason for the earlier start: we're going to try to grab the big table this month!
Our meetings are all about sharing our experiences and learning from others. We love hearing each other's stories, asking questions, and offering our own hints and tips. For those of you who are new to travel groups, picture this: A congenial group of folks who, when they ask to see your pictures, mean all of them. A group of folks who mean it when they say "Tell me all about your trip." A group of folks whose eyes do not glaze over when you start talking about your travel, whether it be travel past, future, or just hypothetical. A group of folks who are eager to learn, share, ask and answer questions, give and receive advice. For some of us, the meeting is the high point of our month! (Yes, I've posted that before, but I think it epitomizes the spirit of our meetings.)
And as always, all travel related topics are open for discussion, and all comers are welcome. It's an open forum - come join in the fun.
If you love to travel, or would like to travel, or are curious about travel, come join us. Anyone is welcome; you don't have to have been on a Rick Steves tour, or any tour at all. You'll recognize us by the RS books on the table, and the big smiles on our faces.
