This month’s winner is GLADYS SHELDON of Oconomowoc, WI:
I traveled on a 12-day Trafalgar tour, “Italian Concerto,” in September 2014. The group consisted of 48 congenial participants, a couple of whom looked after me.
My brother Charles and I have driven through Guatemala twice, and he had driven there many other times. I enjoyed, very much, traveling by car, stopping at roadside markets and seeing the people who live along the Pan-American Highway.
An ad in ITN about a 10-day cultural tour to Dubai and Abu Dhabi prompted a friend and me to contact Scott Jercich at Vertical Horizons Travel (Folsom, CA; 888/995-1016 or 916/983-8651, www.verticalhorizonstravel.com).

To celebrate my upcoming 90th birthday on Dec. 26, 2014, I traveled to Europe for six months. My journey started in Florida on March 14, 2014, and I returned to Seattle on Sept. 9. Even my rollator, a 4-wheeled walker, did not impede my travels!
You’re probably wondering what I did during those six months.
