See our Small Group programs.
EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

They closed the date si I presume that they filled the trip. If we can survive the "keeping up with the grandkids" part!
Susan Allen Jun 07, 2013 at 04:38 PM

Yes, that will be a challenge! Just a few weeks away!


Susan Allen Jun 04, 2013 at 04:26 PM

Hi, all - I've been trying to summarize the names of us for the July 15 program: JoAnn Raine & Liz (nearly 15); Annie Phillips & grandson (13); Ellen Gilbert & Ella; Linda Woodhead & grandson (14); Catherine Ledingham & Ben (13); me Susie Allen & nephew Rolly (14). So that's 12 of us. Wondering if they got the total capacity of 25. We're going to have a great time!!


Ellen Gilbert Jun 01, 2013 at 05:39 PM

Hi all: Ella and I arrive in San Jose CR from San Francisco at 7:20 PM. Look forward to meeting everyone. Ellen


Jo Ann Raine May 26, 2013 at 03:25 PM

Liz and I are looking forward to being with Ella and you in CR. I have been to CR 3 times and hope to add some nature color to the walks. JoAnn Raine Houston


Ellen Gilbert May 26, 2013 at 01:48 PM

Ooops. typical of me these days. I already have my air reservations through Road Scholar. Leaving SFO and all arranged. Good to reach out to others on the trip, though. Ellen


Ellen Gilbert May 26, 2013 at 01:37 PM

Hi everyone: I am traveling on this trip with my granddaughter, Ella. I need to make the airline reservations. we are traveling from San Francisco, and sounds like using Holbrook Travel is a good way to go. Ellen Gilbert


Jo Ann Raine May 23, 2013 at 09:52 PM

am glad to find there are 5 girls coming! JoAnn


Jo Ann Raine Apr 04, 2013 at 09:41 AM

just bought our plane tickets from Houston. Arriving at 2pm Monday. Are there other girls on this trip? JoAnn
Susan Allen Apr 07, 2013 at 01:41 PM

Thanks, Jo Ann. What airline are you taking, and did you get a good fare? I'm using TripAdvisor to alert me to good prices, but I haven't really gotten into the research for that yet. Thanks.
Susan Allen Apr 15, 2013 at 04:42 PM

Jo Ann - I got our plane resvns. last week. We fly from Kansas City to Houston and then get that United flight that leaves at 11:32 am, arrives at 2:12 pm, too! Also - we decided to stay an extra night at the Wyndham hotel, so we're not going back until Thurs., July 25. Looking forward to our trip, and I'm sure we can meet up in Houston!
