What we’re about
Enjoy traveling with other fun and easy going people who always Look On The Bright Side!
Offering weekend, week long, and day trips!
This group is primarily for singles but couples are welcome.
We're having lots of fun! We've been to The Amalfi Coast Italy, The Azores, Ireland, Vermont, Maine, Cape Cod, Mystic CT, Nantucket, Bermuda, Quebec City, Florida and the White Mountains in NH. Get in on the fun and sign up for a trip now!
This group is for you if...
You are a positive person who likes to have fun with other healthy minded singles and couples.
You are computer literate and can easily sign up for events and pay online without assistance.
You are able to communicate well via email without the need to speak to someone on the telephone.
When you attend events, you leave your personal issues at home and bring your upbeat, positive attitude with you. This could be grounds for removal - see below*
You like to have a whole lot of fun and you "always look on the bright side of life"
The goal of every trip is for all attendees to enjoy their time away.
If just one person talks about their personal problems to another, it is energy draining and depressing to that member and it can ruin the whole trip experience for them. As the Brightside Travelers’ Meetup Organizer, I try to do everything in my power to assure a positive, fun time for all attendees and by making it clear to all members that we do not bring our personal problems on vacation with us, we do not complain or act rude to others (especially service professionals such as wait staff, hotel workers, etc.), and we do not need others to take care of us. We are self-sufficient and enjoy having a good time. We always look on the Bright Side!
