Hi All
I did this trip in May last year. It was my first JY trip and I had a fantastic time.
I went to amazing places and met lovely people. Six of us had a reunion just before Christmas;).
You will have a great time. Our tour manager was Stephen Rodaway and he was excellent.
I've got the JY bug now..... I'm off to Australia & New Zealand in March.
One tip, if you want to visit Alcatraz when you're in San Francisco (it is worth it) you'll need to book in advance as they book up. Three of us went (we booked online, myself and another lady coordinated times via this forum and the other lady had coincidentally booked the same time!) but several people want to go but couldn't get tickets.
You do get free time in San Fran (ask Monty which day). If you're staying at the Zephyr it is only a short walk to Pier 39(? I think ) for the ferry to Alcatraz.
Any other questions just ask.
Karen
