We now have two incredibly fabulous upcoming Bridge Sprees. From August 23-29 we return to the Poconos to the pristine Woodloch Lodge and Spa, with complimentary hotel bus transportation from the upper East side. And this trip will have a new exciting surprise excursion - one that everyone will love.

Then, from February 17-26, 2027 we return to our original home on Crystal cruises. We will travel from San Juan Puerto Rico to Ft. Lauderdale on the Crystal Symphony, with stops in Punta Cana Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo - the capital of the Dominican Republic (overnight), a day at sea, Port Antonio Jamaica, Montego Bay Jamaica, George Town Grand Cayman, a day at sea, and arrival in Ft. Lauderdale.

We began our luxury bridge travels on Crystal and this is our first return since pre-covid. It will be our 14th trip on Crystal and the price for the next few months is very economical. With the current rising gas prices, I fear it will not be too many months before the quoted prices increase. To sign up quickly, contact Judy Wallace at [email protected] or at 766-533-0413 or 888-400-2789.

We hope everyone had the best of holidays, and we are looking forward to having you join us in one month when we go to Bermuda for a fabulous getaway - first our bridge camp from Wednesday through Saturday when we teach bridge, enjoy the Hamilton Princess hotel and the town of Hamilton, with two outings to the Bermuda bridge club, and then beginning at night on January 31 we will enjoy the fabulous Bermuda regional tournament that lasts for 6 days. This tournament is hosted by the most special community with afternoon teas with snacks, panel shows, great prizes, opening cocktails, optional formal first night and formal awards ceremony on the closing Friday night, and the very best daily Bulletin - all with superb Bermuda hospitality and friendship. The tournament attracts lots of lower-level players and a few top level pros and others. It is only a 2 hour flight from NYC (JFK/LGA/Westchester) or Boston. And the average high temperature is above 65 degrees with about 1 or 2 sunny days reaching 70-72 degrees. Sign up with us and you will get complimentary roundtrip Bermuda to hotel transport, and a great welcome to our bridge family.

In three days, our bridge camp begins. I am busy with my final preparations. This will be our first bridge camp that has a table of new beginners. I must be in my last half year before I am ready to send my series of new beginner lessons off to a printer. Every time that I teach it, I learn more about how students learn and what I can do to help them learn. I will be happy when that project is finished.

our fabulous August 11-16 trip to the historic Cranwell resort now partnered with Miraval spas in Lenox Massachusetts is now beginning in a few weeks. We have a bus transporting people from NYC roundtrip. We have two wonderful outings on the 14th and 15th, on top of our magnificent bridge program. Besides our regular teaching program, we have a few beginners who are having their own special program. On the 14th we see the world premier of the play "Dying is no excuse" and on the 15th we go to a Beethoven presentation in the shed at Tanglewood, must by the Boston Pops. We are almost fully booked, and may be able to book about 3 or 4 more people. We had an advertisement in the June ACBL Bulletin. Contact me if you would like further details about this sensational outing.
