There seems to be an interest in our email chat group about Road Scholar trips made by classmates. If you have taken a trip, please consider dropping me a line about it — and please include your date of travel (if you can remember). I think I’ll just update here as people add comments:
July 17, 2018: I am a big Road Scholar fan. We also did Iceland this spring (Jennifer, did you have Erikur? ) . We’ve done over 20 and never had a bad experience. Barbara Freeman Douglass
July 3, 2018: I have just taken my fifth Road Scholar trip after Paul’s death. Alaska. Norwegian fjords by ship. Canadian Rockies Mountaineer.New England cookies and Iceland. I second the remarks about Spain. Jennifer B-C Seaver
July 3, 2018: Dan and I are just back from three wonderful weeks in Spain — our first trip there and we absolutely loved it. Went with Road Scholar for the first ten days and spent half the time in Barcelona and the other half in Madrid — then hopped on the high speed train and spent another week or so in Cordoba and Seville. Settling in at first with Road Scholar and their many expert guides to art, architecture and everything else made for a very rich cultural experience. They really know how to do this, and give you plenty of free time on your own so you don’t feel herded about. In a nutshell, Barcelona like New York is “hep” and spirted and very artsey with Gaudi and Picasso, Madrid has to be the most majestic place I’ve ever been bar none and I just loved its architecture and vast museum riches, and Seville reminded me of Boston, i.e. laid back, somewhat sultry and sexy (think flamenco in every bar, horses & carriages on every corner, and more outdoor cafes than one could possibly count where you can while away the day and night drinking cervaza and watching the world go by), all filled with your people exploring and debating the world.
