Book Club Potluck: Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: One Introvert's Year of Saying Yes

"What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life. Chronicling the author’s hilarious and painful year of misadventures, this book explores what happens when one introvert fights her natural tendencies, takes the plunge, and tries (and sometimes fails) to be a little bit braver."

Please bring a dish to share for the potluck. If you’re running late, just send me a quick text. We’ll start introductions at 5:45 PM, and we like to eat once everyone has arrived.

Let's Do This Sac Fun! Get ready to fall in love with Italy on an unforgettable 9-day adventure that sweeps you from the ancient heart of Rome to the romantic canals of Venice, through the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany and the spiritual calm of Assisi. Imagine standing in the Colosseum where gladiators once battled, sipping Chianti in a vineyard surrounded by rolling countryside, strolling through Florence where the Renaissance was born, and cruising into Venice like royalty as St. Mark’s Basilica shimmers in the distance. From the soaring cathedrals of Orvieto and Siena to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the frescoed walls of St. Francis’ Basilica, every stop is a masterpiece, bursting with flavor, art, and soul. With local guides bringing history to life, perfect hotels, and breathtaking landscapes at every turn, this isn’t just a tour—it’s a love story with Italy you’ll never forget.

The trip is from May 31st - June 8th. The cost is $2,349 per person based on double occupancy. Prefer your own space? Single rooms are available for an additional $410—but availability is limited. Secure your spot with a $250 non-refundable deposit, with the final payment due by January 1, 2026. The trip includes accommodations, expert-guided tours, 8 breakfasts and 3 dinners.

Airfare is estimated at around $1600. You will have the option to arrange your own flights or coordinate with the tour company.

I am hosting a potluck booking party, so bring somethng delicious to share, along with your passport.

If you can't make it to the booking party but want to join the trip, let me know and I will provide you with the agenda and booking instructions.

Members of Bucket of Adventures and a few other Meetup groups are invited to join this extraordinary trip!

The booking party will take place in Citrus Heights. Exact address will be provided a few days before the event.

Join us for our Gals' Friendship Meet and Greet and potluck. Looking for meaningful friendships or hoping to expand your social circle?
