Nov. Agenda and Recap of Travel club 2022-2023

Travel club of Trilogy Lake norman Travel Club's Mission statement Exploring the world while being safe and healthy Time & Location:

11 a.m. Nov 18th in the Quad Event Center Attendees: TBD Leaders Alan and Elaine Morgenstern Agenda It has been almost two years since Elaine and I started the Travel Club. It is incredible how time flies. We had many guest speakers, posted hundreds of exciting trips, tips, and hacks to make your travel more affordable and safer, and, per many requests, we have put together specially designed tours and arranged with Luxury Cruise Connections special inside pricing and rebates for our members only.

Now, to end the year 2023, I think you will find this Special Surprise meeting to be the crescendo.

You will learn about two fantastic trips and pricing levels unavailable to anyone outside our Travel Club. These trips are: 



The Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Mekong – Dec. 2024  https://issuu.com/alanmorgenstern/docs/ 2024_timeless_wonders_of_vietnam_cambodia_the?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ  https://issuu.com/alanmorgenstern/docs/twin_mills_-_vietnam_-_uniworld? fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ  https://issuu.com/alanmorgenstern/docs/ extensions_timeless_wonders_of_viet_751d4845212679?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ Swiss Sational – April 26th-May 3rd  https://issuu.com/alanmorgenstern/docs/ fl_40426_swiss_sational_switzerland_lake_como_by?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ

Our Travel Club is pleased to introduce Elyse Reilly, who has over 20 years of experience working for Uniworld and is their brand ambassador. She has had the opportunity to visit places such as Vietnam and Cambodia, India, South Africa, and most of Europe, having sailed on almost all of Uniworld’s river cruise itineraries. She can provide a wealth of information about Uniworld’s extraordinary journeys.

Also, Elyse will review this journey and reveal the Special pricing on this truly luxury experience while saving 20% off the current published rates.

Then, I will discuss the special Globus Swiss Sational for an 8-day land journey from Zurich to Lake Como.
