Hi,
Not a problem - I can also confirm that if you do decide to take the Ypres excursion it is on the evening of Day 2. I understand that there is a restaurant at the hotel so it would be possible to dine there.
Lille & Bruges is a nice tour to "dip your toe" with Just You, short enough to try something new and close enough to home. Sometimes we do "rest" tours for a year or two so it may be that we aren't running Egypt for 2014 but it could return in the future, and it does sound like you have a contingency plan in place too.
If you've explored the forums, you'll see that many of our members share where they would like to travel, and you'll probably notice that, based on the feedback, our product team try to create something that ticks as many boxes as possible. Whilst it isn't always possible to create a holiday, we do try. So, my point is to be vocal about where you would like to go, if someone has mentioned a destination that appeals to you, join the conversation. We can create many tours, but for them to be the right tour for you, we need you to have your say.
Please let us know which date you do decide to book - you never know, there may be a fellow traveller on the forum.
Kindest regards,
Julia
