Hi Dave,
I'm sorry to hear of this mix up. I understand that the original response to Bob was correct in that the overnight bag wouldn't be required, our representatives in Borneo have since come back to us and advised us that you will need these.
I'm talking with the holiday creator, overseas team and customer service to work out what has happened here and get some clarity on when you will be leaving and reunited with your main luggage. I (or Monty) will come back to you again soon.
I do hope that you have a wonderful time despite all of the teething problems for this new tour.
Kindest regards,
Julia
Hello Julia
So, first we do need an overnight bag, then we don't - and now we do:-) - this suggests that it was originally a small boat - then no, it's a large boat - then no, it's a small boat after all?! Probably not, but it did make me wonder just what sort of boat(s) we would be using on the river:
Will we all travel in one boat, or a flotilla of longboats - or even paddling a series of canoes??
And how many will we be, on this adventure into the unknown?
Hoping for enlightenment!
Jim
PS - when searching the "Borneo" threads on the Forum, I discovered that, back in prehistoric times (about 2006), there were apparently two related holidays: "Delights of Borneo" with a Kuala Lumpur add-on, and "Malaysian Charms" with a Borneo extension. It would be interesting to see and compare the itineraries for these: do you still have them?
And are there any plans for a Malaysia holiday, with or without an add-on? I note that at least one tour company is now offering the possibility of a combined Malaysia and Borneo holiday, so the idea is still considered to be viable
