I'm Edna & booked on the 19th Sept trip. Have been surfing the forum and have found something that might interest you all.

Have a look at 'Ask your editor' under America's Golden West 7 March 11. member BGray

It has details regarding the tours and prices of excursions (although last years prices) might be of help working out how much money you might need.

Found it very helpful.

Hope you all have a great time in June.

Hi Mick,

Thanks for your reply. Was the weather OK when you went as I don't really know what sort of clothing to take.

Cheers. Ian

San Francisco was quite cool especially in the evening and on the Bay boat trip, certainly needed a coat or fleece.

After that it just got hotter and hotter, shorts and T shirts even on a night in Palm Springs and Vegas.

Looked at the extra trips from ( Golden west March 11,). Which to choose. Fancy Indian adventure and skywalk. And the bay cruise or flight in sanfran. What do you guys think. Anyone up for it? When should I book? from Michelle

Nice one! Hope it's the same when we go.

Hi Michelle,

If I don't get the chance to go to Alcatraz I wouldn't mind doing the bay cruise as I don't think you need to do both. I would prefer to do the flight over Las Vegas than Sanfran given the chance (could not afford to do both). Skywalk and Indian Adventure also appeal to me. I'm not sure if you have to book these in advance but I think I will wait and book whilst on the holiday if I can as I will know the situation better. I have booked the Rat pack and Palm Springs trips though. Ian

Just a word of warning I was dissapointed with the skywalk mainly because they wouldn't let us take our cameras on, the excuse was that if someone dropped one they could crack to glass. However they did have their own photographer on the skywalk willing to sell you photos.

Don't get me wrong you'll still get some great photos of the canyon from the rocks around just not from the skywalk.

I have done this trip and you are right about the skywalk. I got really good shots from the point further up (where they served lunch in the hut, cant remember the name) but the bus goes there after the skywalk. The helicopter ride is well worth the money.
