Jan 29: Norway from Tromsø to Longyearbyen – Bill Thornton
Bill’s visit to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the northernmost settlement with a population greater than 1,000, is the culmination of a trip to the Arctic region. This area is very different from the Antarctic in geography, plants and wildlife. Svalbard is one of the regions that is suffering the most from our planet’s warming climate.
Feb 5: Northern Italy – Marsha Larrabee
From the beauty of Lake Como to the dramatic peaks and the Tyrolean villages in the Dolomites, come explore northern Italy with Marsha.
Feb 12: Spectacular Islands in the Atlantic: Azores, Canaries, and Madeira – Andy and Michelle Goerdel
Join Andy and Michelle for a tour of three volcanic island chains found in the Atlantic Ocean that have important history, interesting culture, and natural beauty.
Feb 19: Bhutan – Ed and Judy Padar
Bhutan is located in the Eastern Himalayas tucked between China to the north and India to the south. It is a country that measures Gross National Happiness rather than Gross National Product. A perfect country for avid photographers, such as Ed, to visit.
Feb 26: Switzerland – Sally Grossman
Sally toured Switzerland for two weeks by rail to explore the country, in the winter! The Bernina Express and the Glacier Express were two of her favorite trains. Highlights included the larger city of Lucerne and the picturesque towns of St. Moritz, Zermatt, Grindelwald, and more. The scenery was spectacular, and no, it was not cold; but Sally is originally from Minnesota!
March 5: Egypt and Jordan – Deb Peak
We’ve all heard about Egypt, the Nile, pyramids, and pharaohs, but wouldn’t you like to actually see them? It’s a whole different culture than you’ve ever experienced. Plus, Petra, in the Jordan mountains, is like nowhere else; how did they survive deep in these canyons? Come learn about these exotic places.
