A Message From the President
“To boldly go where no one has gone before.” For many of us, those immortal words from the opening of Star Trek are more than TV nostalgia — they are a mantra. The phrase comes to mind often when I board a plane to an unfamiliar destination, especially one that lies well beyond my comfort…

I wholeheartedly agree. To me, travel is the most profound educational endeavor one can undertake. It is a dual experience: both a rigorous classroom…

My term as TCC president is drawing to a close. It has been a great honor to serve in this capacity, and I have enjoyed every moment.

A Message From the President
Why do we travel? I have asked that question of fellow travelers and myself and I’ve concluded that the answers are as diverse as the people who travel. My friend, Gerhardt, is a planner. He spends hours on the Internet researching where to go, what to see, and how to get there. For him, travel…
