The
Travel Alliance
Did
you know that in just the last 12 months, your Senior Center has
traveled over 15,000 miles, crossed two oceans, sailed across 3 lakes,
visited 3 countries, sung with the Rat Pack, walked a bridge, and stood
at our country's landmark?
The
Senior Center, in
partnership with the Leelanau County Commission on Aging, formed the
Travel Alliance. We plan trip destinations, and put together
all
the details that go into planning a perfect travel adventure for
you. We offer everything from a day trip, to seeing a Tigers
ballgame,
to a two-week adventure in China, and everything in between.
You
do not need to be a member of the Traverse City Senior Center in order
to participate in our travel program.
Did you know that Antrim County's Commission on
Aging just joined the Travel Alliance? It's a fact!
The Travel Alliance also wants you to know
about
"AHHH":
Dear Travel Friends,
Life is not measured by the number of breaths that you take, but by the
moments that take your breath away. Have you felt
it? You know - that
“ahhh” feeling when you see the Grand Canyon for the first time; when
you stand before the US Capitol building in Washington DC; or hear a
fish-tale from a local fisherman you just met in New England, who
caught the lobster you will be having for dinner; or make new friends
on our tours. The Travel Alliance Committee knows how
important it is
for you to have those “ahhh” moments. Our destinations will
take your
breath away and entice you to travel more!
Our new tours feature exciting destinations like The Netherlands and the Dutch
Waterways, Oberammergau, Branson, New Orleans, exciting mystery trips,
theater, and one day tours and short travel adventures.
Many feature trains, the hot new trend that groups love. And
there are
tours that present exciting twists on well-loved
destinations. We have
filled our new brochure with many “ahhh” moments for you to enjoy.
We look forward to another exciting year in 2010. Join us and
find out
why so many of our travelers experience many “ahhh” feelings year after
year on our journeys. Our travel program will take your
breath away and
you too will experience those “ahhh” moments.
Happy Traveling!
