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.
