Hello Lesley, There should be a list off the excursions with your confirmation. There are a few excursions, Lake Louise is about £35 i think. But you book them when in Canada ithink, i did in America anyway. Nearer the time JY will send all the info out that we need to know, normally a few months before. See you in a few months

Hi Lesley,

I'm not sure whether these excursions are bookable in advance. What has happened on the previous holidays I've been on, is the Tour Manager gives the options and prices whilst we're out there, and then takes a list of those interested along with payments.

Hope that helps.

Hi Lesley, not a problem i know how you are feeling. I went to America in May, that was my first time on my own too. We are happy to help.

hi mark and claire again - when you went on your other holidays did everyone have big cameras - with the weight limit i dont know what to take i have got a canon slr with 3 lens and i am worried about space and carrying it all - might get a super zoom compact any advice

Hi Shortie,

There were all kinds of cameras, though most had smaller digital cameras e.g. Sony Cybershots etc. I've seen film cameras taken which are quite large and bulky. I've also seen laptop computers taken; one chap took his laptop on my first trip which was the round the world holiday - transporting it through the U.S, New Zealand and Hong Kong. I wouldn't have thought there would be too much of a problem but you may wish to double check with the airline when we know who that will be.

Regards

Mark.
