Tune-Up Tuesdays

A recap of 2026’s Tune-Up Tuesdays series

We kicked off the new year with Journey’s popular Tune-Up Tuesdays — and this time, we went big! Every Tuesday in January at 2 p.m., registered participants joined us live for four practical, upbeat sessions designed to help you start 2026 strong.

Our expert presenters covered everything from meal planning that doesn’t break the budget and strength and stability tips to prevent falls, to home maintenance strategies and tech decluttering (with a peek at AI basics). Each session was packed with actionable advice, helpful resources, and plenty of great insights.

If you missed out, don’t worry — individual recaps and video links can be found in the blog linked below, so you can tune in and catch up anytime. Happy viewing, and here’s to your best year yet!

A Day of Discovery: Journey’s Mystery Trip

More than 50 Journey friends, ranging in age from their 40s to their 90s, boarded a Husker motorcoach and set off on our first Mystery Trip since 2019. With a theme of Celebrate, Commemorate, and Savor, we explored six unforgettable stops across three Nebraska counties — each revealed through rhyming clues and shared laughter. From Polish pastries to Greek dancing, cider sipping to heartfelt moments honoring Vietnam veterans, and petting everything from alpacas to a sloth named Lucy, this fall-friendly adventure was packed with heart, history, and a whole lot of fun.

Stay tuned — new adventures await!

Our 2025 tours may be in the rearview mirror, but Journey travelers are still swapping stories — we gave them plenty to talk about! The Journey team is now busy crafting a brand‑new pair of 2026 day trips, built from scratch with the same heart, charm, and attention to detail you’ve come to expect. And we may just have a little surprise up our sleeve.

We’ll be unveiling these exclusive opportunities soon, so check back often. Whether you’re a seasoned Journey explorer or planning your very first outing, we can’t wait to welcome you aboard.

A Medicare readiness checklist

If you’re already enrolled in Medicare, the annual open enrollment period (Oct. 15 to Dec. 7) gives you the chance to review your current coverage, compare it with other options, and switch to another plan for the following year if you’d like. We’ve put together an annual enrollment checklist, complete with helpful information to help you get the ball rolling.

(Note that open enrollment is not for you if you are just about to sign up for Medicare for the first time. You get your own enrollment period to do that, and we have a resource for that, too!)
