Please take the time to go on a trip with these women. I haven’t traveled in years, let alone travel solo. I knew where I wanted to go. This trip was available. I signed up, called Lindsey with questions, my roommate reached out to me to talk, and then Jane, Ellen and Kim reached out to answer any questions we had on a group call. All this communication really made my fears and anxiety go by the wayside. When I got to my destination and saw all these smiling ladies I was able to enjoy my trip completely!
