To the people who are travelling from Manchester and staying over on the Sunday night, would you like to get in touch so we can arrange to meet for a drink on the Sunday? I'm quite willing to pass you my mobile phone no. if you would prefer to arrange something that way.

I'm booked on this trip over Christmas (although it's been offloaded to Travelsphere) and would really welcome any tips, feedback or advice on your return please.

Hope you have a fab trip.

Thanks in advance

I've just booked the 1.55pm Alcatraz tour for 13th Nov 🙂 Is anyone else going?

Bev

Hi Bev haven't booked it yet but assume you can book on the day? Which website did you use? Are you one of the ladies who is staying at Manchester the night before travel?

Lynda

Hi Lynda

I booked through www.alcatrazcruises.com for the 1.55pm tour on tues 13th, but you won't be able to do the bay cruise as well as the times clash. I've been told it can get booked up, plus some of the companies selling tickets on the day are either very expensive or don't actually stop on the island.

I'm flying from Heathrow and am travelling there on the Sun night and staying over :)

Bev

Hi Bev - all booked now!!:thumbup:

Lynda

Lynda

That's brilliant! Really looking forward to it now. See you in a week :)

Bev

Thank you for letting me know. Does anyone know what time the bay cruise finishes? Is it either Alcatraz or the bay cruise due to timings?

Really looking forward to it!

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard

Based on an earlier post I saw on here the bay cruise will clash with Alcatraz as you won't be back in time to make the last boat across. The editor advised to book the 1.55pm Alcatraz tour as we will def be back from the morning excursion in time for that. I've booked to go at that time via www.alcatrazcruises.com :)

Bev

http://www.alcatrazcruises.com/  going by the previous comments on here, I have definitely booked that one so you wouldn't be the only one.

Lynda, I would check with company as there is only one just you tour that I can see and that is starting in San Francisco.

Less than two weeks to go - can't wait

Hello - sad news - I have been booked on a Travelsphere holiday and not the JY holiday I had booked 54 weeks prior to departure. Not my fault.

not a happy bunny as you can imagine.

I am sad not to meet you all

I'm very sorry to hear that, was looking forward to doing the Alcatraz trip with you. I hope you have a fantastic time.

Thanks for the info Bev. We'll all have a great time at Alcatraz 🙂 this is my first solo trip, feeling quite nervous!

Is it just me, or are the nerves kicking in?!! Can't believe it's nearly time to go!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi!

It's not you, the nerves are definitely kicking in. I seem to have spent much of today putting things into my case and then re-thinking it. Daft really as I've got 2 more days to pack! See you on Sunday at Manchester.
