Hi

I was wondering if it would be possible to roughly put prices for extra trips so that we can plan how much to put to one side to pay for them. For instance I am going to Canada in June and definately want to go on the helicopter trip over the Rockies but I know its expensive, its the number one choice for me. I want to do a couple of other ones as well but have no idea as to the cost as we cannot book and pay in advance unfortunately. I know you cannot quote a definate amount but an idea would be helpful.

Thanks for a great column

Regards Sue Southampton
