Travelers from Texas First Bank saw some of the wonders of South America during a trip to Brazil and Argentina last fall. Highlights of the 10-day tour included visits to the fascinating urban centers of Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, as well as a day spent exploring Iguassu Falls.

Trip: Spectacular South Africa

Date: January, 2014

The GO Club from F&M Trust sent 22 travelers to escape a Pennsylvania winter in South Africa on Collette’s “Spectacular South Africa” tour. The 13-day journey took them to Johannesburg, Soweto and Capetown, and included safari game drives in two prominent wildlife areas.

“I took a photo on an ostrich at an ostrich ranch in Oudtshoorn, and at the beach in Capetown with Table Mountain in the background. And my husband and I took a photo with the Nelson Mandela statue outside the prison where he was held.”
