Presidential London
Why this trip? With mild weather in February, free museums, many reasonable places to eat and amazing theater, London is a fine late winter getaway. And your extra hostess is our Club's founder, Phyllis Stoller, who has lived on and off in London for most of her life. Special events organized optionally in last year's group: a concert in St. Martin in the Fields' Church and a special walk from Westminster to the Cabinet War Rooms led by our leader. The group was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth from our bus which stopped right beside her limo. Ask ahead of time for ideas to pursue your favorite hobby.
