The Delmarva Travel Club (formerly the Delmarva Bucket List Travel Club) is a group who meet monthly for presentations about different parts of the world given by its members. The club was founded in 2016 by Sue Fox, a retired college professor, who developed and led college study trips to different parts of Italy, including Sicily; Ireland; Andalusia, Spain; and Paris and Bruges, together with trips to the California Bay Country (San Francisco and Monterey) and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

It is open to all who love to learn about the world, including those who have traveled, those who can no longer travel, and those who wish to travel.

The club meets the second Wednesday evening of the month. For more information contact Sue Fox at travel@delmarvatravelclub.org.

The Delmarva Travel Club has had presentations on many countries on all continents.

The club sponsored a trip to Venice, Vicenza, Padua, Lucca, Florence, Assisi, and Rome in November 2017 and to Bordeaux, France for a Scenic Diamond River Cruise with a pre-trip to Bilbao and San Sebastian, Spain, and a post-trip to Paris in October 2018. In October of 2019, the club trip was to Dublin, Killarney, Galway, and Donegal, Ireland. In October of 2022 Sicily with a pre-trip to Naples, Procida, and the Amalfi Coast and a post-trip to Malta and Gozo was the club trip.

Travel Insurance….?

Travel season is kicking into high gear. If you have any significant trips planned, especially international trips, have you also considered travel insurance? If you don’t think it is important or necessary, you might want to think again, especially if you are in the “retirement age” category.

There’s a Better Option Than Global Entry. And It’s Free

From Fodors.com, by Angel Castellanos, June 7, 2022

Global entry might seem like the golden ticket for breezing through airport customs, but there is a much better (and free) alternative you should know about.
