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
