Savvy Travelers to meet March 9

Tami Bogdanoff on the Ice Glacier - Iceland in January

Tami Bogdanoff on the Ice Glacier – Iceland in January

Our March meeting on the 9th will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Saguaro Room at Cottonwood Country Club. Our speaker will be Kate Heath, Sales Manager for Apple Vacations, Land tours to Caribbean – Hawaii – Panama – Costa Rica – Mountains.

Apple has never held an event in Sun Lakes, so it will be an interesting evening. In addition, Jeanette Rajamaki, our resident travel agent, along with her business partner Tami Bogdanoff, will host a briefing on their recent nine-day visit to Iceland. They are putting together a custom land tour for late August 2018. This tour will start in Norway for a few days and end in Nova Scotia; seven to nine days in Iceland with many options for shorter or longer. There are many options on activities as well, such as riding the Icelandic horses, touring ice caves, climbing onto the glaciers and exploring the black volcanic beaches. The presentation will be having lots of photos taken by the ladies of their recent journey! This custom tour will be limited to 20 people.

Everyone is welcome to join us for information, refreshments and door prizes at our meetings.
