Cottontail ~ Please tell me more about this digital album site.

The TD'S on both my trips gave us theri cell phone number. How awful for you and your wife- I would be writing a huge complaint. I tis really easy to lose one's sense of direction in a strange place - especially when you are too busy sight-seeing to find out where you are. i wonder too how long the missing couple wandered around Canterbury befor realising they had been left to find their own way back.

I charge commission I have put three other people onto this site so far

I used the 50 page deluxe album and am pleased with the flexibility of the software and being able to download the software and work at my own pace. They keep upgrading all the time. Found that they weren't very good at answering emails but excellent on customer service over the phone.

On all the tours I have taken the TD has always given us their cell phone number. For someone with absolutely no sense of direction this is a great peace of mind.

Maybe this more than anything else justifies taking a cell phone on tour & perhaps we should pass this advice out to newbies.

Exactly - its peace of mind - which is why I carry it around at home and had one occasion recently when I had to phone my hubby to come and 'rescue' me. I would have been really embarrassed/upset if I had to ask someone else to contact him for me.

Cottontail ! Egypt AND Italy.

Seeing you have to travel the same as us Kiwis, we always make it two tours while we are up in the morthern hemisphere.
It's only a flight across the Med from one to the other !
We did Egypt to Madrid last month.

Our TD Charlie gave us his cell number in case we needed him while we were out and about or got seperated from the larger group. Thank goodness we didn't need to ring him but it was good to have it just in case.

Cottontail ! Egypt AND Italy.

Only if you're paying

Our Egypt tour will encompass Egypt/Jordan/Israel = approx 35 days

Our Italy tour will encompass all of Italy and maybe something else = approx 40 days

So we can't do both and its takes us a good three years to save up enough $'s to do each trip.

Donations to the 'Cottontail Travel Fund' welcome

So Big Wednesday didn't some in for you

Our world did rock to a 4.1? this morning for all the wrong reasons, according to the news but not on Wednesday night unfortunately.

However the 'Cottontail Travel Fund' is still taking donations

I've been surprised at the comments about that, Cottontail. I've been on only one tour, but our TD made us all write down his mobile number.

btw, what's the connection between 'Cottontail' and Henry VIII, if it's not a rude question. (Or one which might elicit a rude answer!)

Apart from the fact I find that part of history interesting due to its intrigue, the other reason was that it appeared to be an avatar that no one was currently using. I am waiting for the opportunity to upload one when/if I'm given permission to

They obviously didn't like the look of us

Thanks, Cottontail. So it's just coincidence. One of those strange coincidences nudge nudge
