Yup, our next “Annual EISC Bus Trip with Dale” is next fall, and we’re headed to Washington DC with a mix of a lot of different stops and sites along the way.   For those that have gone on one of our trips with Dale before, I think you will all agree we have landed on a fun new trip adventure with an exceptional bus company and driver. So, we’re doing it again. 

  • Dayton, Ohio - US Air Force Museum
  • Stoystown, Pennsylvania - Flight 93 Memorial
  • Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - Guided drive through tour w/stops of Civil War Memorial
  • Baltimore, Maryland - Fort McHenry and the Downtown Harbor
  • Washington DC - 3 days. Major Memorials, Museums, Capital tour, Kennedy Center
  • Fredericksburg - Spotsylvania National Military Park. Four battles were fought there.
  • Lexington, Kentucky - Buffalo Trace Distillery
  • Indianapolis, Indiana – Indianapolis 500 Raceway tour

This trip is now full but there is a waiting list. On one hand, it is great that we have so much interest in this trip. On the other, we are sorry that we can’t take everyone that wanted to go. The word must have gotten out on how much fun we have on these trips as we had an overwhelming interest in this trip. The interest list for this trip was first circulated at the August Corn Roast event and we continued building that list until we had several more than our limit of 34 that were interested in going. That interest list then formed the basis for letting the first 34 decide if they want to go or not. Those 34 have now been notified that their first payment for this trip is due at the January meeting, January 20th. The next on the list will be notified as openings become available. Don’t despair, we’ll be doing more trips like this so stay tuned.
