Travel Group Update

29/8/2018

0 Comments

 
Since our last meeting P&O have decided to cancel the cruise no J911 on February 24th 2019 to Tasmania and offer an earlier date on February 18th. This will be cruise no J910 leaving from Melbourne.  It is 6 nights instead of 5, the fare is the same and they are offering $100 per person spending money by way of compensation. Please contact your booking agent to confirm your details as those bookings should now be moved over.

We had some discussions on RFID protection, anti-theft handbags and general safety precautions for travelling.

Unfortunately not enough people want to go to Melbourne to see a show, as indicated earlier in the year, and /or stay for a well-priced weekend package and explore the nooks and crannies of our city. That event is cancelled unless anyone wants to take up the challenge of organising.
The South African trip for next year is shaping up as a single ladies only, and that should make it a great adventure. Wonder where all the men are off to….

On October 24th we are off to Werribee Open Range Zoo with Benalla Buslines (Book direct with them).  Werribee Zoo is an African themed Zoo advertising ‘African adventures close to home’.  So I guess that’s the alternative. There is a safari tour and many keeper talks throughout the day.   Lunch is not provided but there are several kiosks and a restaurant which is reasonably priced.

Happy travels.

Some wonderful ways not to be here next year!

Most members are still away for the winter. We have been invited by Benalla Travel to the film night they are hosting for Scenic river Cruises in Europe. It will be at BPACC on 22nd August from 6-8pm. Please rsvp to Benalla Travel on 5762 3187 before 20th August for catering.  This is a great way to plan not being here next year and find out what’s on offer.

The 2019 Tasmania cruise now has a changed date. It will be February 24th for the 5 night cruise from Melbourne to Hobart, Port Arthur and Burnie. And the good news is the price is $599 per person twin share with a free upgrade to ocean view if the booking is made soon.  We have already booked  four cabins.

Other plans for South Africa and Yangtze River cruise in 2019 are still having their details refined.
