Hi Ann,
(see my other reply to Jen,on another thread)
I can remember we paid cash to the guide/rep on other holidays at the beginning of the holiday when we arrived at the first destination, we paid for all the trips at one go in English currency or other, they prefer cash not credit or debit cards as they do not normally have that facility to process a transaction with a card. We will also need currency to pay for meals at source on the day when in a venue for a meal.
Not long now and the next 57 days will fly by.
see you in the airport where we will all be looking out for 'just you' labels on peoples baggage to search out our fellow passengers and breath a sigh of relief that we are not alone any longer but have some friendly companions. look forward to meeting you
regards
sue
