FAQ

Your membership fee helps us maintain the group, including website upkeep and social group administration. For in-person memberships, this fee also covers your share of event costs. That's why we request a fee when virtual members wish to attend in-person meetings. Please note, travel expenses are separate from the membership fee.

We strive to create a travel group where everyone feels safe and comfortable. To ensure this, we require an initial background check to identify and exclude individuals with a history of violent or untrustworthy behavior.

We offer a variety of group trips each year, catering to both families and adults. The exact destinations are based on the preferences of our members. In our first year, we’re focusing on popular travel spots. Our itineraries include land-based adventures, as well as ocean and river cruises to both domestic and international destinations.

We plan to offer 3-4 departures for the Club each year, but the exact number will depend on our members' preferences.

Absolutely! We're happy to assist you in finding a roommate. While we can't guarantee a match for every trip or perfect compatibility, we aim to bring people together and ensure a comfortable travel experience. This is also why we require background checks.

The cost of each trip varies depending on the destination. We typically aim for a premium experience, with many trips falling in the 4-star range. Our goal is to offer at least one 5-star bucket list trip each year, based on our members' preferences.

We expect this to come up frequently as we grow, so here are our guidelines:

1. Spouse or Grown Child: If you have a spouse or grown child living in the same household who will travel with you, you can join with a virtual membership. They will need to pass a background check before their first trip with us.

2. Friend: If you have a friend who wants to join a trip, they will need to select a membership option and complete the background check process.

Yes we do! We want our members to be able to connect easily outside of our meetings. To that end, we have a private Facebook group for our paid members as well as forums and groups on this website for members-only.  If you'd like to get to know the "vibe" before joining, and you can't make an in-person meeting, we encourage you to check out the group Luxury Vacations by Patty Z on Facebook. It is a discoverable group affiliated with Exemplary Travel Advisors, our dedicated travel agency, and run by our Founder, Patricia Zesut.
