Pacific Northwest – Oregon Coast             New!
Due to the high level of interest in this trip, we are planning to offer it twice in August of 2024. We are still waiting for
confirmation on airline tickets so final pricing won’t be available for a couple more months. So many people have
been asking that I thought I’d let you know what we are planning. Perhaps people can make plans for the trip that
best suits their schedule and we can make arrangements for the correct number of airline tickets for each trip. Both trips
will be the same, departing for 10 days on a Thursday and returning on a Saturday. This trip will include airflight from
Detroit to Seattle and a return flight from San Francisco to Detroit. We will visit the cities of Seattle and San Francisco.
Included will be Mt St Helen’s Visitors Center, Timberline Lodge Tour and chairlift ride up Mt Hood, Bonneville Dam
and Lock, Multnomah Falls, Whale Watch, sand dune buggy ride, Haceta Head Lighthouse, jet boat ride through Hellgate Canyon, Redwoods and the Avenue of the Giants, Trees of Mystery Gondola Ride, and a visit to Wine Country. This trip will include your flight and cancellation protection. We need your name as it is written on your acceptable ID and your birthdate in order to confirm your airline ticket. You can use your passport, your enhanced driver’s license or a REAL driver’s license for this trip.
At this time we are taking names for the interest list. Let us know which trip would be your preference. Once we get
a price, we will take deposits. You can opt out if the price is more than you expected at that time. The dates will be:
Pacific Northwest # 1 Dates: August 1 – 10, 2024
Pacific Northwest # 2 Dates: August 15 – 24. 2024

Route 66 in 2026
Planning is now underway! Route 66 will be 100 years old in 2026. I’ve met with several locations along Route 66 and they are delighted we are planning to make this trip.
The tentative dates are April 13 – May 2, 2026. The trip will be taken by motorcoach and will travel through Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Of course, since we will depart from Clio, we will also travel in Michigan and Indiana. We will make stops along the way at many of the well-known icons, enjoy some great food and scenic byways. While the route will be the same going west and returning eastbound, we will stop in different places and see different roadside attractions in each direction.
It will be a while before I can confirm pricing especially for hotels and meals since the trip is still 3 years away. I just
wanted to share what I have so far since several people have been asking.
