Winter (4 - 8.5 hours) | Registration opens 11/23/2026 12:00 AM EDT
Need to get away but can’t get excited, can’t decide where to go or where to stay, and feel stressed about the cost of it all? In this class, I’ll show you how I planned many exciting trips for myself throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and then, as time permits, help you plan your trip using the ideas and tools I use. Leave with ideas on how to pick fascinating places and travel long distances by train, car, plane, or cruise ships; find the most interesting and low-cost accommodations; get senior discounts; pick the best websites and travel channels for reliable travel information and reviews; get around locally; use your cell phone or computer for information on just about any question; and tips on packing, travel insurance, and much more. Come to learn and to share your own special travel experiences and make your next trip positively unforgettable!
