Trip Policy:
A $75.00 deposit for our Multi-Day Trips must be paid at the time of sign-up or you may pay the full amount
at that time. We would appreciate it if you would pay by check as it makes bookkeeping easier. Please
remember to book your trip as soon as you decide to go. All trips have to be paid 1 to 1&1/2 months before
trip date unless otherwise stated. This will cause less cancelling of trips for not enough interest. We recommend that you take out
insurance at the time of deposit for full coverage on longer trips. If we cancel a trip or the tour company cancels, you will receive
a refund. There will be no refunds from us once we have paid the travel company its first payment when the trip is a go. We will
be glad to arrange monthly payments for you. So, come on and travel with us.

18 year old, Dan was walking home from a Halloween par-
ty at his friends house, when he heard a thumping noise be-
hind him. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. When Dan turned
around he saw it was a coffin behind him. Dan started walk-
ing quicker but the THUMPS were still right behind him. Soon
Dan was running, the coffin started running too. Now Dan was
running faster than he had ever ran in his life but the coffin
was still right behind him! “HELP!” Dan screamed! He ran into
his house and tried to slam the door but the coffin caught the
door and started following him up the steps THUMP, THUMP,
THUMP, THUMP, Dan ran into the bathroom and grabbed the
first thing he saw, cough drops, and threw them at the cof-
fin….and of course the coffin’ stopped.
A retired man who volunteers to entertain patients in nursing
homes and hospitals went to one local hospital in Brooklyn
and took his portable keyboard along. He told some jokes
and sang some funny songs at the patients’ bedsides. When
he finished he said, in farewell, “I hope you get better.” One
elderly gentleman replied, “I hope you get better, too.”

Hi everybody, Seems like I just welcomed summer and just like that, it’s over. We sure had enough rain. NPR, “National Public Radio” were concerned about the amount of rainfall we have been getting. They stated that Harrisburg has received 16 inches this season, a record since they normally only
get 6 inches. The cause? You guessed it," Global warming," “Climate change” In July 1942, 34.5 inches of rain fell in Smethport Pa. in just 12 hours. Gotta be a record. Wonder where they placed the blame back then??? Enough about the rain. I will be taking you down memory lane at the party on November 14. Hope you can make it and have a great time. Until then, wishing you a happy and healthy autumn.
