Classifieds – Tell Everyone What You Want
Well the New Year is certainly off and running .. and we are doing our best to keep up. First off a quick note that the Norfolk Island departure is closing for sale soon due to finalization deadlines. If you wish to book a spot please contact us before the 10th January – we have limited spaces available so it is based on first come first serve.
Otherwise we would like to bring to everyones attention out “Classifieds”page in-case you haven’t found your way there. On our Classifieds page we are advertising for travellers whom are seeking companions for specific trips outside of our group tours. So if you are thinking of travelling and would like to meet up with someone we have several already seeking companions for a variety of destinations.
At this stage we have 1 person who was looking for a companion on a Russian River Cruise (whom we have already matched up!) as well as another seeking a companion for travels in the South of France this June, and a third seeking someone to join them for a Round World Cruise in 2015.
Should these destinations not be the ones you are seeking (and should our group departures not meet your requirements) then please let us know what you are seeking and we can add you to our classifieds, or put out a broadcast through our database, to see if we can match you up with someone seeking something similar.
Please take a look at our classifieds page here or if you want to seek a travelling companion for somewhere you desire please visit the Contact Us page and drop us a quick line via email.
Norfolk Island Tour – Sale Closes 10 January and Tour Date Change
We hope that everyone had a fantastic Christmas and a great New Year,. With less than three months until our departure to Norfolk Island we thought we would post a quick reminder up that we still had a few limited spaces available and that we will be closing the sales window on this tour soon. So if you were looking at joining but haven’t been in touch please let us know immediately! You can review the current tour schedule here!
At this stage we have 6 spaces left for the Norfolk Island Discovery, and we must finalise everything by the 10th January 2014. This Trip highlights the Islands Convict Heritage and gives you free time to explore the aspects of the island you wish to experience – the culture, the walking trails, the sport, the natural features.
We would also like to note that due to flight scheduling the trip will now be departing on the 17th March, not the 16th, and will still be for the same duration.

Shoalhaven Solo Sisters Social Sojourns
Who are the Shoalhaven Solo Sisters? What are the Shoalhaven Solo Sisters?
In this day and age, Travel is relatively easy, especially with a Travel Agent. Find a destination, book a tour, book a flight, whatever it is you are seeking and away you go.
If you are a couple, or a small group, this is great. For individual travellers though the story becomes a bit harder. Flights and rail is easy enough but prices you have seen everywhere based per person suddenly double for a solo at worst, or an extra third at best.
Shoalhaven Solo Sisters, is a new initiative for Single Female Travellers. Our aim is to match up solo travellers with like-minded partners to travel with and reduce the individual travellers costs.
For example a Cruise that costs AU$2893 per person in a twin share room would generally cost a single traveller twice as much. By matching you up with other single ladies the individual travel cost is significantly reduced, and you find yourself in (hopefully) good company for your travel arrangements!
Under the guiding hand of Travel Industry veterans Leonie Clay and Julie Preston, we will be developing a programme of events and departures which the solo traveller can join, where we can (if desired), match them up with a like-minded Room-mate for the duration of the trip.
To start with we will be offering a limited number of departures throughout 2014, with more on the horizon for the year after.
So if you are a Solo Sister in Shoalhaven seeking a Social Sojourn .. keep an eye on this space.
