Mackinac Island & Frankenmuth
No cars. No traffic. Just horse-drawn carriages, the legendary Grand Hotel, and Mackinac Island at peak autumn color. Plus Bronner's Christmas Wonderland and chicken at Zehnder's.
Escorted group trips for women who are done waiting for someone else to plan something. Some ladies only, most open to everyone. All of them handled start to finish, so all you do is show up.
We started 50+ Women on the Go because we know how it feels to want to see the world but not want to figure it all out alone. The flights, the hotels, the schedules, the safety of going somewhere new — it's a lot.
So we built a club that takes care of all of it. Every trip is fully planned. Every detail is handled. You just show up, settle in, and enjoy the company of women who get exactly where you are in life.
Most of our trips are women-only — that's the heart of who we are. But several times a year we host adventures where husbands, partners, and significant others are warmly welcomed too. Same care, same curation, same easy travel — just a slightly bigger circle around the table.
Our big trips — Italy, Mackinac Island, Mardi Gras, and more — welcome women from across the country. Closer to home, our Coastal Carolina Crew enjoys local day trips, gatherings, and brunches throughout the year. Wherever you're joining us from, you'll travel with a group that feels like family within the first hour.
Three trips with seats still open. There are plenty more on the calendar.

A holiday getaway through the Smokies and Music City. Gaylord Opryland, the Grand Ole Opry at Christmastime, ICE!, General Jackson Showboat, and Country Tonite to close it out.
A long December weekend in the city at its most beautiful. Three nights right on Union Square, cable cars, Muir Woods, and Lightscape in Golden Gate Park.
I'm the woman behind 50+ Women on the Go, and the one you'll see at the front of the motorcoach, in the hotel lobby with your room key, and at the dinner table making sure everyone's having a good time.
I founded this club because I believe travel after fifty should be the best chapter, not the hardest. So I built something where everything is handled, the company is wonderful, and the only thing you have to do is show up.
Whether you're considering your first trip or your fifteenth, I'd love to hear from you. Call, text, or email — I answer everything myself.
The Ireland trip was so much FUN!! I only knew one person out of seven of us when I left for Ireland, but I met some really wonderful ladies and came home with six sisters! We bonded so well I feel like we are family.
You know you are the only ones I travel with! Wish you had a 4th location in St. Louis for a Midwest takeoff and for day & overnight getaways! You are the best to travel with, you have what the other travel groups are missing, you love your business and care about your travel family!
Reflections from the road, practical advice for travelers in their fifties and beyond, and behind-the-scenes from the club.
Not sure where to start? Frances sorts every trip into eight kinds, from Local Adventures close to home to Passport trips abroad.
A personal note from Frances about why this club exists, what to expect when you join us, and the kind of women who tend to find their way here.
Everything I tell first-time day-trippers to bring along — the small things that make the difference between a fine day and a great one.
I answer my own phone, and I would rather talk it through with you than have you guess from a website.
