A Look Back at Journey’s Multi-Day Trip

From Big Dreams to big memories

Over four unforgettable days, nearly 40 Journey travelers explored three beloved Midwest destinations, sharing experiences, laughter, and plenty of stories worth retelling.

From Mississippi River views and charming historic towns to the iconic Field of Dreams Movie Site, Big Dreams & River Scenes was filled with unforgettable experiences. But the real magic happened between the destinations, as new friendships formed, old friendships deepened, and a motorcoach full of travelers became a community. Read more about the connections that made this long-awaited return to multi-day travel so special.

A Medicare readiness checklist

If you’re already enrolled in Medicare, the annual open enrollment period (Oct. 15 to Dec. 7) gives you the chance to review your current coverage, compare it with other options, and switch to another plan for the following year if you’d like. We’ve put together an annual enrollment checklist, complete with helpful information to help you get the ball rolling.

(Note that open enrollment is not for you if you are just about to sign up for Medicare for the first time. You get your own enrollment period to do that, and we have a resource for that, too!)

Each session was packed with actionable advice, helpful resources, and plenty of great insights.
