On the whole, you won't be able to use your credit card to pay for optional excursions on this tour. So do make sure you have enough dollars for anything extra you would like to do.

Not long to go now - I bet you can't wait!

Can you please tell me if optional excusions can be paid for by credit card? I am booked on the American Golden West & Hawaii tour on 22 September.

Many thanks, Margaret Page

Not to worry, you will be fine travelling this year. The ESTA forms are becoming mandatory from 12 January 2009. Clients will have to fill in their personal information online instead of during the flight. This means you can sit back and enjoy the ride!

If anyone needs more information on this, please see:

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any other information.

Warm wishes,

Cheryl, your editor
