We took a trip for the first time in 2007 and it was such a great experience! The second time around, they added Italy and Austria, so we decided this would be the best way to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The best things about the trip was the food and the people you get to meet. This organization is incredible and they can't do enough for you! They are not regimented at all and you are not expected to join the caravan if you don't want to, so you can meet up with the others later. Everything was included, so if you're thinking about taking a trip, you really need to go!
