I know this holiday isn't till May, so it might be a bit early to ask a few questions, but here goes anyway!

1 Was wondering how many are booked on this holiday so far and do you know who will be our tour manager?

2 I am flying from direct from Manchester via Atlanta, so will I be able to check my luggage straight through to San Francisco? I did read somewhere, that you have to collect your luggage at Atlanta and check in again for San Francisco.

3 On the full day in San Francisco, I know that there is a morning sightseeing tour, then an optional harbour cruise, so would I have time to do both the cruise and then visit Alcatraz? ( which I shall pre book on - line before I travel )

Thanks Olly, this is my 3rd holiday will Just You and I can't wait to go on this one! ~ Anni

So far we have 21 people for 14 May and 13 for 28 May. We haven't appointed a tour manager for either yet but if you can ask again in March I should be able to tell you.

You will probably have to collect your baggage and pass through immigration before boarding your internal flight as US security is very strict these days. If you can let me know your booking reference I will check for you.

You will have time to do the cruise and Alcatraz - lots of people want to do both. I would book Alcatraz tickets for around 2.30 pm or later, just in case the cruise over-runs.

Kind regards

Hi again Olly

Thanks for all the info, I'm sure I will have some more questions to ask before I go in May! re having to collect and re- check baggage at Atlanta, my booking ref is ***.

Cheers Olly ~ Anni

I can confirm you will need to reclaim your baggage in Atlanta as this is classed as your first port of entry in to the USA and where you clear immigration.

However, on the return journey your lugagge is through-checked and you do not have to collect and re-check it.

Kind regards
