This
is a Special Trip Offering:
This trip is in
response to a lot of our singles asking us to do a few great
trips open to everyone, not just singles. This trip is open
to anyone and is also for the single who doesn’t necessarily
need to go on an ‘all singles’ trip but wants even more
varieties of trips that they can travel on with a few other
singles and still get a great trip and travel experience. We
also hear from singles that want to travel with family
members that aren’t single, i.e. mother or father, sister or
brother, sons or daughters, friends, etc., but they still
can travel with other singles on the trip. So we have
accommodated those requests in a few of our trips. So anyone
and everyone who enjoys meeting lots of nice, friendly
people of all ages, married or single are welcome! Hope
you can join us! |
