LCCOA’s Upcoming Trips for 2022

Seats are filling up fast! A $75 deposit reserves your seat. The price of the trip includes your transportation, hotel, most meals, and any admission fees. The only additional funds needed will be for your extras. LCCOA knows that leaving town and going to new places, or sleeping in a different bed at night, can be disconcerting or even uncomfortable. We always send an LCCOA staff member to accompany those who travel with us. If any glitches or problems occur, the LCCOA “tour guide” is always there on each and every trip. You may travel far and wide, but you are never alone. LCCOA is always there, having just as much fun as you are!
