Sit back and relax and let us
handle all the details!
One of the benefits of retirement is the opportunity to
TRAVEL. According to the Center 50+ survey (people
ages 50-100) over 80% rated travel as one of their top
five areas of interest. These statistics were no surprise to
Center 50+ as we have seen the trip program continue to
grow in popularity throughout the past 25 years.
But, more than just offering great trips, Center 50+
provides a unique group travel experience which keeps
loyal travelers coming back time and time again. Imagine
a trip where you do not have to search the phone book
for lodging and you don’t have to search for road signs or
parking places.
Better yet imagine sitting in a
comfortable reclining bus or plane seat, reading your
favorite book, visiting with others, and saving your
energy, and enthusiasm for special destinations or sightseeing adventures. If you travel with Center 50+ you can
do just that, sit back, enjoy, and leave all the work to us!
As you peruse through this year’s travel guide, I am sure
you will find something of interest.
Do you have an idea for a unique travel destination?
Center 50+ would appreciate your suggestions. Drop a
note to Center 50+ or give Kris a call at 503-588-6303.
She is available Mondays thru Thursdays from 9:00 a.m.
– 3:00 p.m.
Center 50+ also offers travel gift certificates. If you are
looking for the perfect gift for that not so easy to buy for
friend or family member why not present them with a
travel gift certificate for a day or over-night trip. We
look forward to traveling with you soon!
