Hi Julia

I have almost talked myself into this trip. Firstly though, could you tell me please if many others have booked yet for these dates and in particular if there are people who have booked the New York add on for either date. I wouldn't like to find myself being the only one staying on in New York for the extra days.

Thanks!

Sue

Hi Sue,

Well I'm sure some of our members will give you any extra information you need to help with your decision. In the meantime I can tell you that others have already booked on these dates...

On the 23rd September- there are 5 on the main tour only and 10 booked with the New York add on which means the NYC add-on is fully booked. However - if this is your preferred date, our specialist sales team could try and arrange for you to stay on in New York with the rest of the group.

For the 29th September - there are 7 booked on the main tour only and 2 booked with the New York add-on.

I must admit because I couldn't see the 23rd date showing I thought this was fully booked? I was looking under Canada New England New York add on. Now your saying there are only 15 booked so would this tour go ahead with this amount..I realise it's only February??? I didn't think there would only be 10 places for the add on I see the tour is showing for that date for the non add on ...

Hi Cindy - I may not have explained that very well (sorry Sue, sorry Cindy).

To clarify...

The Canada & New England in the Fall tour (tourcode SUNCF) on the 23rd of September currently has 5 booked to travel - this is still listed as available on the website.

Canada & New England in the Fall with New York add on (tourcode SUNCFA) travelling with the main group from the 23rd September is fully booked with 10 travellers and is no longer listed on the website.

As they have separate tour codes, the availability of each tour is listed separately on the website.

So in total there are 15 travellers who will be doing the main tour, with space still available for any others if they want to book and travel with the main group.

It is only February and bookings are still coming in for all dates.

Kindest regards,

Julia

Hi Julia,

Thanks for your quick reply. Luckily 29th is my preferred date so I am going to go ahead and book while there are still plenty of places. It looks like a very popular holiday all round with so many bookings already! Roll on September :rolleyes:

Thank you for the clarification.... That makes a bit more sense to my haddled brain.

BTW I have had a glorious day and even sunny day in Berkshire! I am off to Egypt with the hubby in few weeks it's 80-85 out there!!!

Hi Sue, That's great news, give me a nudge every once in awhile and I'll happily give you an update on the numbers for your group.

Cindy, not a problem - to be fair reading back, I'm glad you asked! 80-85? Just a smidge warmer than here in the UK then 🙂

Can you give me an update how the numbers are looking for 23rd Sept Canada USA with NYC add on...think there were total 15 last time I checked,(10 on the full tour plus add on and 5 on the tour no add on) what's the least this tour can get a green light on, my friend travelling with me has to get her dog sitter booked, who gets fully booked with other dogs so really hoping you have good news for me to tell her. Sorry to be a pain..

Hi Cindy,

There is no change in the numbers, but I'd tell your friend to get the dog sitter booked - there is a green tick in the system indicating that the 23rd September departure has been cleared to operate.

Thanks for the update on numbers. I am anxiously watching the numbers for 29 September. The website is showing only three places left for the add-on. Does that mean there are only five places in total? When I booked a week ago I was told I was mine was the seventh booking.

I've booked for 29th - think I was the 8th person on the main tour - and was told it was already cleared to operate.

Not doing the add-on as I've been lucky enough to have been in New York several times, but really looking forward to the rest of the trip and meeting fellow travellers.

I'm going on the 29th too Caroline. Never been to New York, so the add-on is a must for me. Look forward to meeting you.
