    Booking abd with ta

    I highly recommend using http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/reservations/abd_input.cfm The offer discounts, and Kevin is very, very helpful. (I love being able to email him. The one time I booked ABD directly I had to call them any time I had a question.)

    No June 2014 dates for Bella Italia?

    No, but we just booked the first trip in July for the same "avoid the heat as much as possible" reason.

    tips for guides

    They provide envelopes stapled in the back of the welcome booklet they give you on the first day. I bring enough in US dollars for both, but if I still have local currency left at the end of the trip, I give that to the local Guide -- topping it up with US dollars. (I hold back just enough for...

    Peru ABD - is there anything I should know?

    Yes, safes in each hotel room. Big enough for a stack of iPads, Kindles, and Passports, but you can't fit a laptop.

    WiFi at Peru hotels

    We took the trip this December. WiFi was free at Sol y Luna, but the reception was terrible in the Casitas. (Or at least in ours.) We went to the tiny lobby when it was important to have access. Note: the cellular data reception was fine in the Casita (room). I added an International...

    Christmas during ABD trip, and suggestions for NYE in Sydney?

    We were in Peru with ABD over Christmas. On Christmas Eve we were given a special "Holiday Lights" pin to celebrate. (Donald holding a candle.) That night we had the adults-only dinner at the Sol y Luna hotel restaurant, and the restaurant added details because it was Christmas Eve, like free...

    Peru ABD - is there anything I should know?

    Just back from the December Peru trip...(our 3rd ABD)... Bring packets of Pedialyte powder you can add to water bottles, in case you are hit with altitude sickness. Maybe also some ginger candies. (By the time we got to Cusco, many in the trip were not feeling well.) Note: you might want to...

    Pxlbarrel, please finish the story! I can't remember how it ends? (Sure, I was on the trip with you, but I am *loving* reliving it through your report.) Great photos too! To answer one of your mysteries: my husband was the one who slipped off the bus in Shanghai. He has an *impressive*...

    China April 2012 - Booked!

    No, only three of us. Our trip was $6499 per adult when we booked, and the same trip is now $6549 per adult. I noticed the June 17 departure is now $6679. At at the time I was choosing between April 1 and June 17, the June trip was *less* than the April trip. So, I do believe they raise...

    China April 2012 - Booked!

    Today we booked (thanks Kevin!) the 4/1/2012 Enchanted China trip. They now only offer an 11-night trip. It still has the Terra Cotta Warriors (yay!). They dropped Hong Kong Disneyland in favor of staying in town and exploring the history of Hong Kong. Works for us. We loved Australia in...

    Hi, We just booked the Feb 13, 2010 Australia trip for our family of three. Our son will be 6-1/2 when we go. Is anyone else planning to be on that trip? (The early booking rate was still available when we signed up.) --Margie
