On Jan. 29, members gathered at halal Pakistani restaurant Wah-Gi-Wah in University City, Philadelphia. Everyone shared the latest on their winter travels, encompassing an Arctic Circle train ride with a surprise New Year’s celebration with Russian villagers, to island-hopping through balmy Micronesia and exploring the Polynesian warrior city of Nan Madol. Gold star to James Stoudt, returning prodigal member, back in the USA after time spent working in New Zealand, and brand-new members, the Kurpjuweits from Delaware. We are so pleased to welcome you to the fold!
