Hi Sylvia and Bridget
I'm sure you weren't mis-informed, perhaps someone has dropped out since I rung to book my excursions. But I was definitely told we had the green light and I'm sure the operator wouldn't have told me that just to secure an extra £300 worth of excursion bookings. After all, there would be no point as it will all be refunded if we don't get to go.
Fingers crossed that we will be lucky though (Monty - how many can this trip take? Have we got the crucial 'green tick' yet?) as I'm getting really excited about it now - did you see Monty's description of our train ride through the Denali National Park - sounds amazing!
Just in case the worst comes to the worst and we get cancelled, I've been taking a look at the brochure and am considering the National Parks tour that leaves a couple of days later as a back up option. I've read some fantastic reviews about it on the Community and it would be a shame to waste the ESTA!
All the best
Mandy
