Elliot Brack: Get Outta Gwinnett — and enjoy a long vacation!

Rotarian and journalist Elliott Brack shared stories of his travels with the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville at the noon meeting on May 11.  He has traveled widely around the world and in the United States and shared his experiences and advice.  Admitting that his least favorite aspect of travel is packing and unpacking, he recommended some ways to “not pack”: reserve a house or apartment for a long stay (His experience in Florence, Italy, provided a good example.); use VRBO to reserve a place (His experience was in Brooklyn and New Orleans.); or take an ocean or river cruise (He has enjoyed an Alaskan cruise and a Hudson River cruise.).  He highly recommended a visit to the Channel Islands and to Ireland/England/ Scotland.  In the United States he recommended Arkansas for the Arkansas Derby, Maine and Prince Edward Island in the summer, and Vermont in the winter.  He covered many U.S. cities and ended praising Georgia’s mountains and St. Simons Island.
