It won't be long now until the tour to Borneo and I'm very excited already!  I'm just wondering - in the holiday info mailing it mentioned the need for an overnight bag.  Could you check please as to how many nights we will need it for?  Judging by the itinerary I'm guessing it could be for up to three nights, when we stay at the remote lodges.  Obviously if it is for 3 nights, I'd need a bigger bag than if it was just for 1 night!

All the best,

Bob

I am little bit baffled as to where you saw this - was it in your most recent holiday information sent out in February? An overnight or a smaller bag won't be necessary for this trip as you will be able to take your suitcase to all hotels and lodges you'll be staying at.

Apologies for any confusion here, but I hope this helps.

Kindest regards,

Monty

Yes this advice was given in the "General Information for Borneo" sheets that accompanied the Holiday Information pack.  It says "During the tour there will be instances where it is recommended to take an overnight bag other than your large case, so please bring an appropriate bag for this."  Underneath this, there is a list of "Extra items to pack" and the last item on this list is an overnight bag!  Perhaps you could just double check this for us - I don't want to be the only one not to bring an overnight bag and then find out while on tour that we do need one?!!

All the best,

Bob

are you allowed to give us a little info as to why our flight on 29 May from Kota Kinabula ( Borneo ) to Singapore has been changed, is this maybe down to over booking by the airline or for another reason and would this mean that for those not doing the Singapore add on will still be taking the earlier flight as this cuts deep into their free time in getting to see some of Singapore with the included sightseeing tour

and Bob are you still jet lagged am looking forward to this tour so much and meeting all our fellow travellers and forum users

all best wishes

Hi Dave, I've replied to Mike on the other thread.  I'm not quite fighting fit yet - have a cold that refuses to clear up!  But very much looking forward to our Borneo and Singapore adventure!

All the best,

Bob

I have doubled checked with the Holiday Creator and I can confirm that you will not need an overnight bag. As you mentioned, we did run this tour a couple of years ago and this little bit of information was missed when updating the document. Yes, I admit it - we are complete numpties!

Many thanks for alerting us to the mishap. What would we do without you?

Kindest regards,

Monty

Many thanks and best wishes,

Bob

if anything such as suddenly does spring on us just use our hand luggage I suppose

all the best

Dave

Sorry to hear you are still struggling with that cold hope it clears for you soon. Must be all that rain in Ireland!

Best wishes

Alan

Many thanks for your kind comments - I've had two antibiotics at this stage and still it hasn't cleared up!  Here's hoping it finally departs before the Borneo tour....

Hope all is well with you and you are planning your next trip.

Cheers,

Bob

Perhaps you should see a doctor.

All the best

Alan
