EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF GROUP TRAVEL The More the Merrier!
Now that most countries have returned to their pre-COVID-19 travel norms, taking a jaunt around the globe is a great way to take a much-needed break. But doing it alone can seem overwhelming, especially when it comes to planning the details of a trip. That’s why managed travel groups have become popular among middle-aged adults. And no matter which travel agency or website you book through, traveling with a group offers many benefits you can’t get if you go alone. Here are a few! Trip planning becomes stress-free. Traveling abroad can be exhilarating, but planning the details of your trip can be daunting. Flights, hotels, and local attractions all require research and individual reservations, so all the moving parts may be difficult to keep track of — and even more expensive. With managed group
tours, the price you pay for the trip includes all those pesky planning details. Local guides know their stuff. Taking a tour of the local attractions in any country can give visitors a deeper understanding and connection to the culture. However, if you don’t know where to find those local attractions, guiding yourself through a city or town might deprive you of insider knowledge or interesting details. With managed group travel, the tours are already arranged for you to enjoy, with local guides who know the best places to visit for an authentic experience. Some groups even employ scholars to travel with you to provide interesting lectures and tours. Group travel is an easy way to make new friends. When you meet with your travel group at your destination, you’ve automatically made a few new friends you’ll get to know over
the upcoming days. Meeting new people can be challenging in our normal lives due to our routines, but a managed travel group creates a close-knit environment where you spend enough time with people to bond,
laugh, and share a few stories. Set a budget, and stick to it.
Most travel companies charge an upfront price that encompasses all the expenses you’d typically spend during your trip, including flights, hotels, and activities. This means that when you shop for a group trip to book, you can decide how much you want to spend ahead of time. You never have to worry about going over budget and finding a surprise on your credit card bill.
WE WANT TO SAY THANKS! Because of You, We Are Able to Make a Difference
Our annual “29029” JaxPAL fundraiser is underway now through Monday, July 31, 2023! Mid-month, Adam will be tackling his next “29029” challenge at the newest mountain of the yearly epic event: Snow King Mountain in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Adam sets out on this strenuous mental and physical journey not only to reach new heights and achieve personal goals but also to benefit the children of JaxPAL at the Westside Center — and we’d never be able to do it without your help! Dating back to 2019, when we first started this fundraiser to coincide with Adam’s endurance hike, we have raised over $15,000. We thank each of you, our valued clients, for your generous donations and for helping to make a difference in the lives of these talented and incredible children. The funds raised have been used to purchase computers, outdoor equipment for sports and activities, educational materials and supplies, and other electronic equipment to benefit their education and help them continue learning, thriving, and growing! This year’s funds will be earmarked to purchase much-needed new computers that are necessary in order to keep up with the current educational software, plus additional school supplies and classroom materials. We want to THANK YOU for your continued support and for being a part of Adam’s big climb every year! Together, we can dream big and climb high!
