Visit Israel with Friends

March 19-31, 2026

For over 2,000 years everyone from pilgrims to politicians to students and skeptics have dreamed of exploring this ancient/new land that still shapes our times. 

Join us for a 12-day trip where we see the sights, but more.  We don’t want to just see old rocks and temples.  We sit down for meals and Turkish coffee with thought-leaders and survivors.  And we prepare you well to see what you’re for going to see.

Contact Phil for more information, itineraries, and materials.

Tour De Florida 2026

January 28 - February 8, 2026

A perfect Winter cycling adventure. Nearly flat and 9 days of soaking up the sun.

With just a little preparation, you’ll easily finish each day’s ride by around 2:00.  That means plenty of time to explore. 

Comes with one day of volunteer work.  We’re partnering with the Fuller Center Bike Adventure (an off shoot of Habitat for Humanity)

Fly into Sarasota and finish riding in the gorgeous Florida Keys.  We’ll then be transported back to Sarasota.
