Nobody Move!<br />
By: Stu Cooper / Happy Destinations<br />
Where has the time gone? Nobody move!<br />
In the blink of an eye, I have been the<br />
Travel Editor for The <strong>Vegas</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> and writing<br />
such articles for 15 years.<br />
It’s now 15 years since publisher Dan founded The <strong>Vegas</strong> <strong>Voice</strong>. My<br />
children were teenagers then. Now I have two grandchildren.<br />
At the beginning, I was a middle aged “baby boomer.” And as of last<br />
month, (August 16th to be exact) I will be presenting my Medicare card<br />
every time I visit the doctor.<br />
When I first started as travel editor, publisher Dan asked me to start<br />
a travel club. So way back when, we established the <strong>Vegas</strong> Voyagers<br />
Travel Club.<br />
The concept was really simple: create group trips for like-minded<br />
readers who enjoy the adventure of travel. Make the trips affordable<br />
and never charge a membership fee to be a part of our “Club.”<br />
This concept has worked beyond our wildest expectations. Partnering<br />
with many cruise lines and tour operators, we have offered trips for our<br />
Voyagers all over the world.<br />
Trips were planned throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Central and<br />
South America, as well as all over the United States, Canada and the<br />
Caribbean. Groups have been as small as 10 and just this past January<br />
we had close to 200 “Voyagers” on a Mexican Rivera cruise hosted by<br />
the wonderful Phat Pack.<br />
Here’s the good news. We have no plans of retiring and we will<br />
continue providing outstanding trips. And we have a number of great<br />

ones planned for 2019.<br />
How about our Phat Pack cruise to the Mexican Riviera, January 26?<br />
There is also a great 10 night Canada-New England cruise September<br />
6 th . And in last month’s edition I wrote about our 10 night European<br />
Explorer cruise for October 31, 2019; starting in London and ending<br />
in Rome.<br />
These are just a few examples of what we’re up to. There will be<br />
others, including river cruises, Alaska options. We’re even<br />
exploring Asia, Australia and South Seas<br />
options. Check out www.vegasvoyagers.com<br />
