"Ask
The Captain"
Travel
Clubs and Themed Vacations
People
love to travel with kindred spirits.
The ultimate trip would be something that you enjoy and
all of your special friends and members of your family that
you truly enjoy would be able to go with you and share the
wonderful times collecting memories and pictures that you
will share together for years.
Unfortunately
not everyone on your list has the same amount of vacation
time, funds or interest in the same adventures that you
would like to experience. Second best then is to
join with a group of people that share your enthusiasm and
 interest
in going to a particular destination. There are
all types of travel clubs. Some cost money and advertise
discounted rates. Some target singles, some look out for
the senior market, some may be set up for single parents
and their children so that they can travel with others in
a similar situation. Once you have traveled with this group
you will be pleasantly surprised
at how many interests you share and look
forward to future trips that the group can experience together.
To find
a group that works for you, contact a large travel agency
or one that has many offices so that others with your same
interests can be assembled. Cruise
One is just one of 400 nationwide so if we organize
a singles trip I can advise my associates in each of these
locations and they can sign up singles in their areas that
are also interested in going with others similar to themselves.
One of
the travel clubs is called “The Retirement Living
Travel Club,” and retired people are grouped together
so that they will enjoy the company of others of their generation.
Depending on the group’s interest we can organize
bridge tournaments, golf games, etc. With the Retirement
Living Travel Club group escorts are available to assist
if needed. The“Triad
Travel Club” caters to singles and families that enjoy
traveling together from the Piedmont.
There is no membership charge to belong to any of
the groups, and everyone stays updated via email. The low
prices plus the convenience and fun of traveling with people
like you certainly makes a Travel Club a real incentive.
 There
are also “Themed Vacations.”
If you have a particular interest whether it is wine tasting,
golf, bingo, cards, dancing, ecological trips etc, a
good travel agency can help you come together with others
sharing your interests. Any groups with
people having a similar interest would be great to start
a travel club. Deal with a reputable agency that will work
with you on starting your own Travel Club or Themed Vacation.
Once you’ve done a trip together I guarantee it will
be the start of many other great adventures. Enjoy
life, enjoy the world, and enjoy it more with kindred spirits
as you create lasting memories together!
