What's your experience?

Only once - Alaskan cruise with group led by Gary Blair. I'm not a cruise guy (give me Cabo any day) but this was 1st class all the way. Very well organized and fun group (although it was hand-picked).

We have been watching for trips that would work on dates that we could make.

There are other threads on this board about the Traveling Aggies. From all accounts it's a great way to meet other Aggies, the trips are on the pricey side but are well-planned by alumni travel professionals. If enough people sign up, a member of the Traveling Aggies or Association staff can come along to help things along. Julie Scamardo runs the program now after years of running the Aggie Ring program. She's one of the best (of many great people) at The Association.
