Hi Olly
I have now been on about 8 touring holidays in recent years and on everyone of them they have taken credit and debit cards. Most hotels have WiFi so using the credit card machines is not a problem. If there are places in the world where this is a problem then you could still specify cash.
Pre-booking excursions is OK but you don't always know what the best option are/what your new fiends are doing until you are there.
I am booked on a trip to Australia later this year and I normally do the majority of optional excursions so I hope this issue does not deter me booking with JY again.
Come on JY join the 21st Century!!!!!!!!!!!!
