The May 2025 Jacsonville-area TCC Chapter meeting featured an interesting presentation on a recent trip to the Balkans by members Paul Cosgrove and his wife Robin Williams. This portion of their European trip in 2024 spanned 34 days, starting in Athens and ending in Ljubljana. They explored this region by car, ferry and train, and found many highlights along the way. Paul also described how he does the pre-trip research and planning, and Robin shared the lovely books she puts together after the trip using either Shutterfly or the amazing Find Penguins app. You are invited to follow more of their travels at https://cosguide4travel.com.
Other members also shared recent travel experiences on expedition cruises, land tours and more to many corners of the world, and with many more to come. We were also pleased to welcome guest Jill Melkonian, a Platinum Member from Clearwater, Florida, and learn about some of her incredible travels, such as a solo trip to Afghanistan.
