Laurie is the current organizer of the Albuquerque Solo Women’s Travel Club Meetup* and during the Covid-19 pandemic, she has been hosting Zoom meetings with members. The topic for the December meeting was “What travel Web sites do you rely on for information?” Here are a few of the responses.

We enjoyed a lively discussion about places and experiences that have brought us a sense of peace and joy, and a few people shared Web sites that they use to find travel information. Vicky talked about sailing from southern California to Ensenada, Mexico; experiencing dark, star-filled skies and seeing bioluminescent creatures lighting up the ocean. Mary Lou found serenity in motorcycling through Italy, and Kalya in the gamelan music of Bali. Elsa loves the light houses of Maine, and closer to home, Tracy visits the Orient Land Trust in the mountains near Alamosa, Colorado, to relax in their natural rock ponds and hot springs.

These are some of the Web sites our members visit for travel information:
