Hi All

Well that was a bit upsetting - but I'm glad they all have got their facts right now - I was beginning to think I was having to book something else!!

Just sent off my final payment - so they can't cancell now (I hope!).

it's so exciting - I hope we see some polar bears. I'm planning on going on a dog sled ride too on our time off - anyone interested?

Hi Moyra

The dog sled trip sound great,Do you book that when you are over there? Do you think a fit 66 diabetic could cope with that. It is something to think about. I was thinking of doing the helicopter ride over Niagra Falls. Polar bears here we come.

Hi everyone, Just started gathering my clobber for the holiday - only two weeks and a bit to go now. Have invested in a new digital camera and have been practising furiously to make sure I get some fantastic photos - lets hope the bears co-operate! I've really got the bug for travel and despite doing the Rocky Mountaineer last Autumn, I have booked for the coach tour of the Rockies and the Alaska Cruise for the end of April next year. See you all soon - Tweet/Barbara (Almost Bankrupt).

Hi all

14 days to go - and counting!! So looking forward to it. I got a new camera before going on the Kenya safari in June and so glad I did - got great photos, so I am sure some of us will get some great shots - if, as you say, the bears cooperate!!

Sounds like we will have a ball ont he dog sled ride. There is a place next to where we are staying that do the, so not far to go.

Checked the weather up in Churchill and the average this week is 6 degrees, but there has been a flurry of snow!! Yee Haaa!!

See you all soon.
