Bang #23 - Go Ahead Tours

If the worldwide pandemic of 2020 and 2021 has taught us anything, it is to value the ability to visit with family, friends, and colleagues.  As we did our best to quarantine in our homes, many of us discovered a desire to travel more and see sites that may have been on our bucket lists for quite some time.  One of the benefits of membership in Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is the Go Ahead Tours program.  Each year, a DKG member is appointed as an ambassador to work alongside an agency which plans and executes trips to various locations. 

In years past, DKG members have taken the opportunity to travel to many places such as Costa Rica, Spain, England and Iceland.  An Alaskan Cruise has also been enjoyed by members, as well as a trip to view New England Fall Foliage.  Each of these trips is planned with precision to maximize a traveler’s experience in the sights, sounds, and culture of each destination.  Group travel enables friends to explore new destinations together and, in the process, provides non-dues revenue to the DKG International Educators Foundation. 

The next Go Ahead Tour is scheduled to take place immediately following the 2022 International Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.  This trip will take you and your cohorts on a tour of The American South from New Orleans, Louisiana to Memphis, Tennessee over a period of 6 days and 5 nights.  More information about this opportunity can be found at www.dkg.org.  After signing in, look for the black banner and click on “Events.”  You will find “Go Ahead Tours” listed and can explore all the details of this amazing trip to view several historic sites in the South. 

As we search for a new normal in our lives, let this be your mantra: “Eat the dessert – buy the shoes – take the trip!”  You will not regret your choice.
