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…
I ❤️ travelers! There’s so much to love about the Travelers’ Century Club. I love my Northern California chapter’s quarterly luncheons.

Travelers come…
What could be more important to a traveler than making connections? All kinds of connections including connections with fellow travelers and connections from one flight to the next.

I’m guessing 95 percent of you have already visited some or several parts of France. Similarly I would estimate 95 percent have also visited a European castle. I’m writing this message to…
Can you imagine sailing a small boat across the Pacific with the famed author Jack London? Or navigating the Nile through the wilds of present day Sudan to Uganda? Or maybe even flying over an African jungle in your own airplane? There is a museum where you can relive these experiences. UNESCO recently reported that…
What a conference we had in Malta! The opportunity to meet TCC members from around the world, learn about their backgrounds and be inspired by their interesting stories was the highlight for me.
