Patricia has been apart of the Fort Rucker
MWR Family since August 2013, and she now serves our Army Community as
the newest Leisure Travel Services Travel Clerk. Her favorite movie is
Pride & Prejudice and her iPod is always walking the line between
the tunes of Johnny Cash and Phish. Her favorite caffeinated beverage of
choice is Diet Coke and in her free time she loves traveling, boating,
hiking, and playing cards with her kids.
Michelle is the
Leisure Travel Services Manager, and has been helping patrons plan their
dream vacations through MWR for almost a year now. Though she’s not
much of a movie buff, she is addicted to HGTV and has a keen sense of
style. Whether she’s in her car, on her computer, or listening from her
phone, you are sure to hear K-Love Radio resonating from the speakers.
She’s quick on her feet and Coca-Cola, her caffeinated beverage of
choice, keeps the pep in her step. In her free time, she enjoys
traveling with her family, volunteer coaching with CYSS, and gardening.
A Guest Column by Jessica Zen
I stopped by Family & MWR’s Leisure Travel Services office to get some information on weekend trips...and here’s what I learned. You can easily get away from Alabama by taking a short trip to Florida or Georgia, both within driving distance for a mini vacation.
If some quality time at the beach is what you crave, head down to Panama City Beach, where there is more to do than just lay in the sand. After some fun in the sun, head to Gulf World Marine Park, which is fun for the whole family. It offers dolphin, tropical bird, sea lion, and reptile shows, along with shark and turtle feedings, and much more.
Tired of the beach? Atlanta, Georgia has a lot to offer. The Leisure Travel Center offers an Atlanta City Pass for $69 that allows you to save 45% on trips to the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and Inside CNN Studio Tour. The pass also includes admission to: either the High Museum of Art, or the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, and either the Zoo Atlanta, or the Atlanta History Center.
Looking for more of a thrill but still want to stay in Atlanta? Meander on over to Six Flags Over Georgia and get your adrenaline going on the new Sky Screamer, their tallest ride ever at 24 stories high.

Cruises
If you are interested in a cruise, you have come to the right place. We have certified experts on our staff to assist you in booking a cruise. Cruising offers a multi-destination vacation in one package. Families, couples, honeymooners, and seniors can all enjoy vacationing with a variety of cruise lines offering relaxation, adventure and Family fun.
Most major cruise lines offer military discounts which are usually the best rates around. Where else can you unpack one time and see up to four different destinations in a week? You can make it a weekend getaway for as little as three nights or take a longer 7-night cruise around the Caribbean.
One of the best things about cruising is the food. You will get gourmet meals in the formal dining room or you can hit the buffet. On-board entertainment rivals that of Broadway and Vegas shows. There are also full service spas, fitness centers and casinos. Kid’s programs on board offer age-appropriate activities, movies, games, etc. as well as teen-only discos and deck areas on board.
