Venturing out

This part of my state has more going on than the part that I lived in last year. It also has tons more traffic. That part is not fun for me.
The other day I found out that there is a tour group for seniors in my area. I would drive about fifteen minutes, park my car in a big lot and get on a big tour bus with others. I've not done this very much. Maybe not everyone on the bus will be there with folks they know? Maybe others will be looking to make friends?
The tours are not super cheap but the destinations appeal to me. One destination is a hot springs with lunch. I am strongly thinking about going- I'd go without my hubby. The hot springs are located on what is called the Olympic Peninsula. That's toward the Pacific Ocean. It's a lushly wet area with tons of tall moss covered trees. Having someone else drive me there is quite attractive- it must take at least 2 hours each way to the Hot Springs. Soaking in steaming hot water while being outdoors sounds like a real kick. I'm still deciding and thinking also about their other tours. Freedom!

@shaggin Thanks. I live in a lovely area but South of me is huge Portland, Oregon. I am not fond of that traffic situation. South of me about an hour away is big Tacoma and then gigantic Seattle. Nope. Not doing those- BUT if a tour driver wants to take me to one of their attractions, I might go.

That sounds perfect for you. I like the idea of someone else driving. They have tours for seniors here to; but we've never taken any. I hope you sign up!

That sounds great. My parents especially my mother used to like to go on those kind of tours. She probably still would, but is not that mobile currently.
