The Joys of Traveling Solo
by Mary Winkler, AARP member and GET guest
Mary Winkler, a frequent traveler with Grand
European Travel, had just returned from the
Ultimate Iceland tour with Trafalgar, and was in the
middle of selecting her 2018 dream destination.
Armed with the latest GET catalog, Mary chose a
tour that covered what she wants to see, and then
picked up the phone and called GET.
“I firmly believe in having Grand European just
