Traveling Tigers

The Traveling Tigers Club will meet on Wednesday, April 19, at noon in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. The meeting will begin with a potluck; bring a dish to share and, if possible, your own plate, silverware and cup.

A short business meeting will begin at 1, followed by a discussion of travel tips and hacks. The club members share an interest in traveling, and have a wealth of experience to share. Between the group, members have been to a majority of the world’s countries and territories. These seasoned travelers know what works and what doesn’t.

Club President Edward Hickman began traveling in 1972 on a two-month trip to Europe with a Eurail Pass and a book titled “Europe on $5 a Day.” Nowadays you can’t even stay home for $5 a day.

Next, he started going to more unusual places with trips to the Soviet Union, Greenland, Svalbard and Morocco. He has been traveling ever since, as have many of the club’s members. People are invited to share stories and advice. All are welcome.
