This was our 21st Elderhostel, and all have been great, but Diane made this one extraordinary. The video was just a small representation of how enjoyable and educational this program was. Thanks, Diane!

Enjoyed the video. It brought back pleasant memories of the things we did and the places we visited. Diane was an important start to the video. Although the scheduled itinerary was very interesting, Diane with her excellent leadership made the week one of the best programs we have attended. The Amana colony town was a good choice to spotlight our trip.

Thanks for sharing the video clip! The Amana Colonies is definitely a unique and interesting destination with its handcrafted furniture, arts, and crafts; great dining; shopping; and wineries and brewery. I’m sure the group enjoyed itself both here and in the nearby Amish community as well!
