Sunrise Senior Living

There is nothing like a change of scenery for expanding your horizons and renewing your enthusiasm for life.  All too often, however, travelers undercut their adventure before they leave by overpacking.  An overweight suitcase can limit your mobility, force you to keep close to well-trodden paths, and turn travel into a chore.  After all, being prepared for every imaginable contingency is one definition of staying at home.

This summer, a group of 55 adults—some just out of college, others long since retired—will gather at the University of Virginia for a weeklong symposium on Thomas Jefferson.  They will live in dormitory rooms that Jefferson designed in 1819, take a private, after-hours tour of Monticello, and participate in discussions led by some of the most distinguished Jefferson scholars in the nation on his relationship with such figures as John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison.  For someone interested in Jefferson, this is an unbelievable opportunity—and it’s just one of thousands of tours offered to alumni and the general public by colleges and universities around the nation.

Ahoy there!

Have you ever thought about taking a cruise but wondered if you might get seasick, or if you don't like it you would be stuck on board for days. Well now you have the opportunity to try cruising for as little as two nights. Cruising has become very popular and we are lucky to see more international ships coming in to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle. It is a great way to travel and see the sights, and only unpack once.
