Travel and Tour Opportunities

There is nothing like a trip - to give you a new insight on the world, a chance to get away, relax, see new places, make new friends, and discover new wonders.

That's why the Boone County Council on Aging and American Classic Tours have partnered to provide wonderful travel opportunities for older adults to dozens of marvelous places. Whether you are interested in a day trip of shopping or sight seeing, or an extended cross county tour to see Fall Foliage or take in the shows in Branson, we have something for everyone.

We will be visiting the market area where venders from around the world gather on our exhibit floor to bring you the best in knitting, beading, etc. You will not go home empty handed. There are also book signings, demos, and more to be found. Lunch is on your own. Motor coach and tickets to the convention included in the price of the trip.

White Pines Lunch and a Play

- (will vary in the year)
We travel by motor coach through lovely countryside to the White Pines Inn. Before the play, we enjoy a fabulous home cooked buffet meal with three meats, salads, vegetable du jour, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh baked breads, beverage and dessert. Following lunch, we see a wonderful production. Ticket price includes: Theater ticket, tax and gratuity, and motor coach.

Chicago Holiday Shopping Trip in December

Get some of that Christmas shopping out of the way with the Chicago Magnificent Mile Shopping Trip. We will travel by motor coach to Water Tower Place and Macy's on State with lunch on your own.

Register early for the trips, as seats are limited. Payment is due at registration. Once a trip is filled, a waiting will be made. As a seat becomes available, we will call the names on the waiting list first come first serve.
