Travel

Just 10 days after September 11, 2001, Joe hosted a trip with 40 people to Austria, Germany, Italy and Hungary. Despite all the fear and sadness of 9/11, the trip proved to be fantastic and left the travelers asking for more. Joe’s 2004 ‘Alpine Adventure’ tour to Austria, Germany, Lichtenstein and Switzerland was a sell out. In 2006 and 2007, Joe attended the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany with a small group.
