Our having been gone for 7 weeks this year has just thrown our internal calendars completely off kilter. And I was taken aback today when I realized it's July already! What happened to May and June? Oh, right; we were in Europe for most of that time. Luckily, we can count on our travel pals in the Tulsa area to get us back in tune with real life.
The next Tulsa Area Rick Steves Travel Group Meeting will be Saturday July 18, at the Panera Bread at 41st and Hudson in Tulsa (that's 5601 E. 41st, between Yale and Sheridan), at 9:30 a.m.
Last month we had a great meeting, with two new people, and our friend Kim from Paris stopping by. And this month should be even better! Diane will be back from the TWO trips she's taken in the past month, new friend Patsy said she can't wait to come back, and I think our Parisian friend is still in town! And of course, enough of the regulars will be there to keep the session entertaining as well as informative.
As usual, we're looking for a great exchange of stories, tips, and questions. We want to hear your stories, answer your questions (and ask our own!), see your photos and scrapbooks, and share your enthusiasm. 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.
I've posted this before, but I like to repeat it every few months:
"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!"
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.
