Introducing The Exploration Society
The Exploration Society – Discovering New Ways to See the World
Have you ever wanted to have lunch on the Great Wall of China or be nose to nose with a polar bear but didn’t want to go at it alone? The Exploration Society wants to make that your reality.
The brain child of two Betty Maclean Travel Consultants, Jen Mitchell and Cassie McMillion, The Exploration Society was created to bring travel enthusiasts together. “We know that there are travelers in our area that are looking for exciting destinations and new adventures but want to share these experiences with new friends”, says Mitchell.
Travelers and explorers will benefit from the vast knowledge of our destination experts, creative itineraries that are driven by Society members and our expansive, world-wide access. The Exploration Society is focused on the traveler who desires a custom trip to exotic destinations and exclusive experiences. The society’s concept makes it possible to take a trip with an intimate group consisting of couples and singles whose friendship they have enjoyed at these TES events.
The Exploration Society wants to encourage it’s members to dream big, share adventures and create stories. When asked why she wanted to form this group, McMillion quoted St. Augustine, “ ‘The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page.’ I want to finish the book.” she said.
If you or someone you know has a passion for travel, please contact ExplorationSociety@BettyMacleanTravel.com for more information and details on upcoming events.

Jens Top 20 Reasons to Cruise with Crystal
Last Monday Will and I disembarked in Miami off the best cruise we have ever experienced! We were on a week long Caribbean cruise on the Crystal Serenity. Normally I would do a day by day review of our experience but I thought I would do this blog a little differently. Since I experienced so many unique differences on my Crystal cruise from all the other cruises I have been on, I thought I would make a list of all of my favorite things about the Serenity.
Not only were we personally escorted to our cabin but he also mentioned that he worked at the pool. From than on every time we went to the pool we were greeted by Robert by our last names. This may have been the first time that a crew member remembered our names but not the last. We truly felt like part of the Crystal family our entire time on board. For example every day when we went to breakfast Clark was there to greet us and take my tray from me to carry it to my table. Than we were asked if we would like coffee and fresh squeezed Orange Juice. I personally like the half orange and half grapefruit and they were glad to accommodate me.
7. Green Tea Ice Cream
Will and I actually did our laundry twice on this cruise. We did it once in the middle of the week and again the day before we left so we could come home with all clean clothes. Anything that helps us when we come home to reality is much appreciated. I forgot to take a photo of that but I'm sure you get the idea.
