We Travel... a lot! From local travel, to world-wide excursions, Cruises, and Safaris even underwater (SCUBA Diving), you name the place and it's likely that someone in our group has been there! Although we come very diverse backgrounds and experience, we all just love to travel!
We also get together to exchange stories, travel tips, and experiences we've had. We very much enjoy the camaraderie that flows out of our common interest in the adventures of travel.
Who We Are...
Jim and Katie Robirds (pictured here) working together with Jane Owens and George Tereshkovich, launched the group "Retired Austin Travelers" in January of 2008.
With just a handful of like-minded individuals, they started holding meetings, primarily to share information and swap travel adventures. It soon blossomed into quite an organization!
As the name clearly implies, we are a group of retired people (singles and couples) who live in and around the Austin area.
What We Do...
We hold regular meetings, every other month (beginning January) always on the second Wednesday of the month, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, alwys in the Oak Hill Library at 5124 Convict Hill Road, several blocks West of Brodie Ln. in South Austin. We always send e-mails with date and time information).

Members... FYI...
All members... If you've been missing our informal "Coffees" (alternate months of regular meetings) you're missing an enjoyable experience indeed!
Our last gathering was at 9:30 am on Monday, June 7, 2010. We met at Paneras Cafe and had a very good turn-out (see slide show below). A big "Welcome" to Ray & Nancy Lewis, who also attended. They a very interesting story of how they met the Landry's on a trip in Costa Rica--small world indeed! A very enjoyable time was had by all who attended. Looks like the interest in attending these Coffees is growing... guess they're here to stay.
Our next informal Coffee date will be Monday, August 2, 2010, again at Panera's Cafe on William Cannon Blvd. Go West on William Cannon, past Loop 1-- just after crossing Brush Country Rd, watch for Paneras off to your left. Check Out ourEvent Photos !
