Hi Hils

Usually mosquitos stay away from me so hope the midges will too do the same.

Hi Jaya,

Living in Scotland, we certainly know about midges! Tesco sell a midge repellent called Smidge, but you may only be able to buy it up here.

Cheers,

Hils

Hi Mandy,

I am sorry it has took such a long time to reply. We are waiting to hear back from our agents in Alaska so we can set up the optional excursions. I have chased the relevant people today and I will keep you updated.

At the moment there are 7 people booked on this tour and has not been given the green light as yet. Remember, it is still early days so it'll be looked into a little bit closer to the time.

Kindest regards,

Monty

Thanks for the tips about packing Sarah - as we are going inland and up as far as the Arctic Circle I was planning on plenty of layers anyway. I remember that the Canadian Rockies were freezing and snowy in early September and we were all in fleeces and hats, but when we reached the coast it was t-shirts all the way!

Thanks also for the midge repellent reminder, Peter. I'm a bit of a mozzie magnet so spend most of my JY trips smothered in Deet and reeking of citronella at the best of times:)

Monty - any news on my original questions on this thread or is it too early? I haven't renewed my ESTA yet, so that's next on my list.

Best regards

Mandy

I would be very interested to read the review of this holiday as it is on my ever growing list of holidays to do in the future. Like Bob it is getting harder and harder to decide where to go first, especially as these new unusual tours are being introduced. I am sure Just You will listen to us and keep them going!

Yes, I'll certainly do that. I think that my 'duvet with sleeves' which came in so handy in Icelend will get another outing in Alaska! I'll also get to re-use my YakTrax, but this time I'll try to remember to take them off before going indoors on to a tiled floor so that I don't go spinning across the gift shop floor doing a fine impression of Jayne Torvill like I did at Gulfoss:D
Your 'To do list' grows ever larger, I see, but I'm sure we will end up on a JY bus together somewhere exotic again before too long.
All the best

I suspect that in Alaska midge repellent will be of more use than your cold weather gear in May.

Peter

I was there in late May the weather was warm enough to sunbathe! Ended up having to buy t-shirts, having loaded my case with thermals and warm clothes. The climate is unpredictable , best to check the long range forecast before you pack

Hi Mandy, yes my wish list is pretty long but my fear is that some of the more unusual tours won't be around for too long, so it's a real dilemma deciding where to go next!

Here's hoping our paths cross again at some stage!

Cheers,

Bob
