No Reservations Travel Club: August 2017

About Me

Location: Sacramento, California, United States

Started as a club for budget and independent travelers, we have been in existence since July, 2001. We meet at 7:00 pm the first Tuesday of each month, in alternate months February through December, at the Arcade Public Library Community Room, 2443 Marconi Avenue. We no longer meet monthly because the library no longer sponsors us and the booking rules for the community room made the change necessary. The meetings feature a speaker, plus time for exchanging information within the group. There are no membership dues. The second Tuesday of the alternate months between meetings, we have dinner at an ethnic restaurant. Each summer we have a potluck dinner at my home. In 2005 I added club tours to our activities and they have been very successful. To be added to the e-mail list, or for further information, contact Judith Anshin by e-mail at penguinatlaw@gmail.com and please put "travel club" in the subject line.

A great travel agency

Some of you will remember Gina Morovati of Northstar Cruises from her presentation to us in April, 2016. I booked a cruise with her on Crystal to sail from Dubai to Cape Town, and she did an amazing job for me. The best part, apart from the thousands of dollars in discounts and ship board credits she got me, was being upgraded to a suite with a butler! My travel companion and I are so anxious to begin our journey in a suite on a newly refurbished ship. While you can't expect an uncommon upgrade such as this each time, she will help you get the best bang for your bucks!

Her web site is Northstarcruises.com and she books much more than just cruises, so give her a call and tell her I recommended her. I don't get any commission, just the satisfaction of knowing you will be in great hands for whatever trip you book. Email me at penguinatlaw@gmail.com if you have any questions.
