Greetings from the Jeannies! Jeannie Ralston has been back home in Asheville just long enough to set up her whiteboard with all our trips planned for 2025. Surprise, surprise…she’s hitting the road again!

She’s just booked her flight to Chicago to scout a possible trip there for next year. If you live there or have friends in the Chicago area, she’s going to host a Sunday Salon for local NextTribers 8/25 from 2-4PM. Location TBD.

She’s also planning a trip to Seattle and will gather with NextTribers there for a Happy Hour on Thursday, 8/22. Keep opening these emails so you won’t miss when we announce the details!

Jeannie Edmunds is back from Hawaii for now. She’s in LA, traveling to Austin next week for the rest of the summer. The girl just can’t get enough of that Texas heat. It’s so hot there the hens are laying hard boiled eggs!

Next Spring, when it’s so much cooler, she’s going to lead our trip to Austin and the Hill Country during peak wildflower season. We’re finalizing the itinerary right now for March 27-30. A few lucky travelers will get to meet some of the OG Austin NextTribers, enjoy some delicious local cuisine, and learn the Texas Two Step!

Try to stay cool as you relax with the latest articles from NextTribe Magazine.
