Olmste(a)d Regional Meetings

It has been suggested that regional gatherings would provide new contacts with family members. Likely a luncheon and dinner/evening chance to meet other family members.
To receive more information, email the contact person to be placed on the notification list.

Currently in the planning stage are:

Kissimmee, Florida — hosted at Walt Steesy’s Westgate Villas timeshare condo. Tentative date is Jan 30 or 31, 2027
It was about 15 years ago that 16 joined us for a dish-to-pass luncheon and afternoon. Contact email Walt Steesy.

North Carolina Triad area (Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill)
Hosted by Sue Olmsted

Olmste(a)d Group Travel

Travel with others that have a common interest is a nice starting point for an interesting and enjoyable experience. What better way to get to know extended family is to share the experiences of visiting interesting places and learning about the culture of other areas of our world.

If one of these opportunities below do not fit your own schedule or needs, just ask and we will be glad to assist planning something special for you if it is just a couple or with other family and friends joining you. Where would you like to go? Alaska? The Med or the Baltic in Europe? The South Pacific or Hawaii?

There were a number of groups in the 1990-2010 period but nothing more recent.

I (Walt Steesy) have retired as a cruise agent though I still have my fingers in the pie if needed. Covid put a real damper in the travel business and now companies are pushing direct sales but AI doesn’t provide the personal service that we did for many years.

If you wish to visit Olmstead Hall in Essex, England, please contact me directly and I’ll provide the contact information for you to arrange your own visit.

You are welcome to email or call Walt Steesy (607-532-4204)

Passports are required for cruises outside of the US. Travel Protection/Insurance is not required but highly recommended; I would not travel internationally without it.
