Do you miss your Amazing Journey friends? Do you wish you had more together time with Malori, Michele, Erin, Stacey and Barry? Well now you can! Join us in Pittsburgh for an Amazing Journeys Summer Weekend filled with socializing and getting to know our home town.
Pittsburgh continues to rise to the top of cities worth visiting. Recently named one of the “Best Places to Travel in 2016” by Travel + Leisure, rated the nation’s “No. 1 Food City” by Zagat and named among the “Top Destinations on the Rise” by TripAdvisor, it’s easy to see why everyone’s talking about Pittsburgh. We have put together a weekend of fun, showcasing our amazing city and giving you the opportunity to meet new friends or reconnect with those you have traveled with in the past.
And don’t even get us started about our hotel! Located in downtown Pittsburgh, Hotel Monaco is a boutique property in the award-winning Kimpton family of hotels. While the exterior retains its original architectural glory, the inside is stamped with their signature style: vibrant and whimsical, with bold pops of color. Not only does the hotel offer an upscale and funky feel, their service is unmatched. From a wine hour offered each evening to the open air rooftop Biergarten, you won’t want to even leave the hotel… almost!

Join us for dinner at our first group event where you will get the chance to meet new friends and reconnect with those who you may have traveled with in the past.

Saturday, July 8
This morning, those who feel like stretching their legs can join us for a walk along the rivers soaking in fantastic urban views. At the end of our walk, we will finish in the “Strip District,” Pittsburgh’s landmark riverfront neighborhood and historic market district. This area is chock full of breakfast eateries, souvenirs, street entertainment, the Heinz History and Sports Museum and a great place for people watching. Later this afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in a foodie tour in one of Pittsburgh’s funky and upcoming neighborhoods. This tour is a must for those who enjoy visiting eclectic boutiques and galleries while tasting food specialties from local small businesses. Tonight, we’ll meet again at the hotel for Wine Hour (for those staying at Hotel Monaco) before heading out for tonight’s activities. Restaurants and bars abound, so join friends to grab a bite and a drink, then it’s off to the theater we go! Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, & Marriage is a hilarious comedy described as “Dr. Ruth meets Emily Post” and is sure to provide an evening of laughs! After the theater, meet us at one of our favorite rooftop bars in the city, where you can enjoy lively conversation and a tropical cocktail.
