We’ve operated quite a few tours since Pass the Corn Nuts broke our long fast in late August and many more are planned over the next few months. In the interest of confidence and safety you’ll see they are mostly confined to our region and operating by motorcoach. We have high hopes to resume interstate air travel next year! 

We’ve decided to convert Vacation Preview Day to a one-day parking lot Halloween Party at the office on October 31 from 9:30 to 3:00. Read all about it on page 1. Reservations required and costumes encouraged!  If you’ve already made a reservation for the event as originally planned there is no need to call again. This will be your opportunity to receive an advance copy of our 2021 Dream Book Take 2. They will be mailed to all Travel Club members in early November.

Our office has reopened for those who wish to conduct business in person. Please note a mask or face shield must be worn to enter (no ventilator masks, bandanas or gaiters allowed).  Hand sanitation is provided just inside the door. We look forward to seeing you soon!

We are making some changes in how the newsletter gets to you, read about it on the front cover. There are lots of Travel Club updates in The Barber Pole column, and Clayton points out the importance of the fine print and a slight change in our cancellation policies.

Hello Sports Leisure Travelers and Friends,

Here’s a quick between-publications update from your partners in travel at Sports Leisure Vacations. Work is already underway on the next publication which is none other than our 2026 Dream Book. The working title is BEYOND BORDERS. We live in a great big state, nation and world. How far you go is only limited by your dreams. Let us take you to the next border and beyond!  Our tour catalogue for the coming year will be chock full of new destinations and returning favorites. It will be mailed and e-mailed to ALL active Travel Club members in late September.

As always, you’re invited to spend a few hours with us to receive tour information in advance of that mailing. Tour Preview Day is Saturday, September 20 with two 2-hour sessions starting at 10am and 12:30pm. We will return this year to The Sophia, home of the B. Street Theatre, located in downtown Sacramento on the corner of Capitol Avenue and 27th Street. Parking is available for a nominal fee in the garage behind the building. Complimentary shuttle service is also available. Your RSVP is required to attend and/or ride the shuttle. Read all the details on Pages 2-3.

We’re saving most of our new departures for Tour Preview Day, but included one carrot in these pages to whet your appetite. And what a carrot it is! A $550 million renovation has just been completed on an old friend - The Hotel del Coronado. It’s been a minute and we’re eager to return. How about you? It’s all on Page 4.

Mariea and May have an exciting selection of new Daycations & Theatre Outings running through the holidays. Check them out on Pages 8-11.

We look forward to seeing you on the road and at The Sophia soon! Until then…

Easy to get to, and lots of simple, traditional Christmas fun at a fair price!
