Savvy Travelers summer news

Jeanette Rajamaki

Join us in the fall on October 11 at 6:30 p.m. at one of our Savvy Traveler’s Meetings. We bring like-minded travelers together to share experiences, to join one of our organized trips or cruises which might be going anywhere in the world or just to meet other travelers. Each month, there are travel programs, travel brochures, interesting people and refreshments. We invite you to join us. Tell us about your travels, which might have included renting an RV similar to one found https://rvshare.com/rv-rental/denver/co. There are no dues.

Meetings are held at the Cottonwood Country Club on the second Thursday of each month from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. in the Saguaro Room. Just look for the Savvy Traveler Suitcase on the sidewalk outside the room. Contact Vic Hermann at 480-883-3897 or Jeanette Rajamaki at 602-909-2000 – ask to be added to the meeting reminder email.

Our last meeting was a Cruise Night with Royal Caribbean. District Manager for Arizona updated us on new itineraries – the new Symphony of the Seas coming to the USA in November 2018… offered on board credit for all booking done over the summer for future cruises. Savvy Travelers has group space February 23 sailing in the Caribbean. Call Jeanette for pricing – details as this new ship is 75% sold out. The only balcony rooms left are in the Savvy Travelers group.
