I
met Val in July of 2004 when I wanted to take a trip to the
Fall Foliage in Atlantic Canada. She matched me with a travel
companion
from Nanaimo to avoid the single supplement This was
a wonderful trip. I would recommend this club to anyone.
I am already
registered for other trips the Club is offering.

In
May I traveled with 16 members of the Club to four Greek Islands
and Athens. It was a wonderful holiday. Everything was well
planned
and the accommodations were excellent. Earlier this year a
group visited Cuba. We spent 3 days in Havana & 4 days
in Varadero. Great trip,
good accommodations& everything went smoothly.

How
life begins at 60
Well,
I will start off by saying something really corny, yet very
true. This travel club has opened up a whole new world for
me. As a retired
widow, it was difficult to find friends to travel with. Those
who could afford it, could not get away, those who had the
time, did not have
the money. You know the story. It is much too expensive and
lonely to travel alone. Then I happened to attend a travel
meeting and Val
gave a presentation on a South Africa trip. Well, it sounded
wonderful, so I signed up, not knowing who my roommate would
be, and hoping
we would be compatible, and especially hoping she would not
be a neat freak! Well, I was delighted on both counts. We
have had three
overseas trips together and one road trip since.
The travel club meets once a month and those who attend discuss
where they would like to go. There is a lot of sharing from
experienced
travelers and very interesting presentations from various
travel agencies. We make suggestions on the type of accommodation
we would
like and can afford and the things that would be the most
interesting to us, taking into consideration our physical
abilities, etc. etc.
Obviously some of us are not going bungy jumping or snow boarding!
Val takes all these factors into consideration and puts together
the
best possible trips for us. We as a group have a great deal
of flexibility in regards to the sights we wish to see. If
we are not interested
in seeing 16 dancing snakes, we can omit that part of the
trip!
This group is a wonderful opportunity to combine the joys
of travel with the interesting conversation and company of
our group. We also
enjoy those who join us from other parts of the world. Everyone
there loves the new experiences and delights of travel. I
look forward to
the trip to India in November and Kenya next spring. There
is always something exciting to anticipate just around the
next corner!

Dear Val - will no longer be eligible for your club next month,
as I shall be getting married here in Manila.
Have fun traveling, and bringing joy and happiness to so many
lives.
Love and God Bless
Patrick.
Thanks for your personal touch to all our trips. Much appreciated

In
October 2010 I went on my first Singles Travel trip with Val.
We were away 18 days and had a most enjoyable and educational
trip. Everything was well organized with excellent guides,
drivers, hotels, food and air/boat transportation. Every day
was packed full
of activities. I bought a piece of furniture at X' Ian and
appreciated Val's help with bargaining. One member developed
a health
issue and needed hospital care and she received excellent
care from Val, the guide and the hospital. The lady was able
to carry on with
the rest of the tour after one day of rest. I am looking forward
to my next trip with Singles Travel and think this company
offers very
good value and service to all members.

I
joined the Singles Travel club in order to travel and meet
other people who also like to travel. It was a good decision.
Last fall I traveled to
China with the group for 16 days of fun and adventure. Everything
went extremely well from beginning to end. The trip was well
organized,
taking us to many historical and beautiful spots.The group
was wonderful to travel with - fun and friendly, and no luggage
was lost - in spite
of 8 plane trips! It was the most exciting and adventurous
trip of my life and I can't wait to do more travel with Val.

I
took my first trip with the Singles Travel Club February 2011.
We went to South Africa.
It was the trip of my life. We saw and did what I had expected
and more.
Val had matched me with a lady who I didn't know and we got
along like sisters. So much that on our way home we were planning
our next trip.
We were twenty-two, eighteen women and four men. I felt safe
with the group and by the end of the trip we were like a big
family.
I will be going with the club to Turkey in September and then
France in May 2012.
Thanks Val for making my dreams become reality.
