Poland/Germany Auschwitz trip

Hello Krism, my name is Larry. I am signed up for this trip leaving Sept.27 return Oct. 7. I am originally from Philly
area (South Jersey) but now live in Arizona. This will be my 3rd trip with RS, all of them solo. I've found that RS
travelers are very welcoming to solos, so nothing toward about on that score. Of course, the emotional experience
of a trip like this is another thing altogether. I'm hoping we all get through it with an overall positive outcome/outlook.

Thank you Larry for your email. I plan to sign up for this trip in 2019. Hope you will post your experience when you return. I will be going on the Heart of the Civil Rights Movement in October. That's one of the items on my bucket list! I live in Seattle.

Yes, Krism, I certainly will post my experiences on this trip. Sorry I won't get to meet you this time around.

Great! Thank you Larry and I will look forward to your pictures and comments. Are you signed up for any other RS trips? Have you been on any previously? Can I ask??????? Why RS and not Rick Steeves or a travel agency? As I said before I am new to traveling so would like to hear all I can from those before me:-)

I have been on 2 previous RS trips. The first one was about a year after my wife passed away in 2016. It was a trip
to Mexico and the city of San Miguel de Allende. I went solo and found the people on the trip to be very open, friendly
and inclusive. The experience was so positive, I went on a second trip with RS to Yucatán (Water and the Maya). Once again, I found fellow travelers to be open and friendly and the guides were true experts (on both trips). Both trips offered
very comfortable lodgings and really good food. I don't think you'll be disappointed throwing in with RS.

Oh, and I love watching Rick Steeves, but RS caters to a clientele 'of a certain age' and takes its educational mission
seriously while at the same time providing interesting and diverting activities.
