**caveat= the covid cases remain low and the Colombia entry requirements don't change . Gloria's trip is Jan 15 - Mar 31 , Meetup doesn't allow events to be that long. Gloria , Deb and Brenda have flights and hotel rooms booked as of Dec 1 Gloria thought she could spend the winter in Vancouver, but 4 days of cold rain were more than enough for her . So she is inviting you to join her . Jan 15 - Mar 31 Debbie , 1 of the members has all ready decided to join her from Feb 10 - Mar 17 Gloria rented a 2 bdrm, 2 bath apt 2 blocks from the beach, 1 block from the marina, and next to the old city for $700 Cdn/month. (NON REFUNDABLE) . She hasnt booked a flight yet as she is waiting and watching the covid situation. Flights are[masked] CDN I cant post pics of their places in this post but in our facebook group i can. If you want to see them https://www.facebook.com/events/356916242192769/?active_tab=discussion Gloria chose Santa Marta Colombia as it was recommended by a friend who knows her and her travel style well. She can fly there without flying through a US airport, it is cheap and easy to get to, and it is a budget destination. Santa Marta is a small city (500,000) in northern Colombia, on the Caribbean. It is an old colonial city. Aside from the sun and beach, people come to visit Taytrona National Park. You can also visit a coffee plantation. There is a huge public market and endless street food. Colombia has a reputation of being a dangerous country but anyone using basic precautions is fine. If you have any questions please feel free to email her: [masked] We will also do zooms call on this and maybe 1 meetup in person. GROUP TRIPS: Our group trips are arranged by a Leader who extends invitations to its members . Any interested members are welcome to join for all or part of the Leader’s trip. The Leader will post their flight and accommodation plans. You will arrange your own transportation and it will be up to you to book the same accommodation or a place of your choice nearby. The Leader will do their best to help you plan and answer any questions but you should do your own research on the location. The Leader will try to have one activity planned per day that others can join if they wish. You are free to do something on your own or with someone else from the trip. The best part is the evening meal that everyone is allowed to attend or decline as it suits their choosing. It’s a great time to get together to share experiences from the day, socialize, and plan for the next day. Past group trips in 2018 & 2019 have included Bangkok, Mexico City and Bali. Everyone is responsible for their own events, accommodations, food, admission and trip costs.

**caveat= the covid cases are low and the Russia entry requirements don't change & Canadian travel advisories aren't level 4 THE DROP DEAD DATE THAT THIS TRIP WILL BE CONFIRMED IS JUNE 1 We are just giving everyone a heads up so you can tentatively plan to join her for part of her trip. NO AIRLINE TICKETS OR HOTELS HAVE BEEN RESERVED AT THIS TIME AS IT STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGE SEPTEMBER 1ST IS THE TENTATIVE DATE OF ARRIVAL If she cant go in this travel window , here next attempt for Russia would be may 2022 Gloria plans to take the train from Helsinki Finland to St. Petersburg in which you can meet here there or Helsinki if that works for both of you. St. Petersburg has so much to see and do: Hermitage, Fabrege Museum, Mariinsky Theatre, Church of our Savior on Spilled Blood, and a Canal Boat Tour Train to Moscow. Moscow has The Kremlin, Red Square and St. Basil’s, and she will attempt to attend the Bolshoi Ballet. From there she plans to take the train to Belarus so you can arrange your departure or other travel plans from Moscow. We will update this description when we have more details and places to visit. Visa: As you can apply for a visa up to 6 months in advance, Glora will apply for hers as soon as she returns from Colombia in mid April . It is not as easy as most, but I think if you read carefully, and follow the directions it can be done - we will see. You need: Passport valid for more than 6 months Photocopy of identity page of passport Letter of invitation (can be purchased) Visa application form Passport photo Letter of introduction: Who you are, where you are going, dates, things you plan to do, places you will stay etc. You can book hotels on booking.com then cancel after you have your visa if you want. I have read it is best to request a couple of extra days on each end of the time you plan to be there. Using the Russian Visa Center the total cost should be $186 Can https://russiable.com/ You can use other companies to get your visa but this is the one she will probably use.

Caveat 1 If I go on the Russia trip from Sept 8 - Sept 22 Dates are still preliminary for this trip then i will head to Berlin & Munich Caveat 2 the covid cases are low Caveat 3 the Russia entry requirements don't change & Canadian travel advisories aren't level 4 DROP DEAD DATE for me to make a decision will be June 15 No planes tickets or accommodations have been secured yet. I will update this when more things become concrete . So my thoughts on this trip is to Arrive in Berlin on the 22 or 23 from Moscow Group Trip. The reason I am headed to Berlin is to support 1 of our members in her running the Berlin Marathon and I have never been here. Then off to Munich for 4-5 days to attend Oktoberfest . I have been to Munich before and its a great city but never have had a chance to attend Oktoberfest .
