Thank you so much for sharing your insight. We will definitely be checking out your suggestions!

Ditto from me on the thanks!

For anyone who is interested, Random House is doing an ebook bundle on Diana's series starting next Monday or Tuesday. I think it's $50 for the kindle versions.

This adventure looks amazing. I'm certainly considering for next vacation!

cheryllarsen · 10-24-2012, 02:56 PM

My hubby and I tried the Peru adventure to Macchu Piccu. It was certainly very interesting as well!

I'm only on disk 3 of Outlander, but there have already been at least two mentions of places we will be visiting on our ABD: Fort William and Urquhart Castle. So excited!

Hi. I'm subscribing in order to learn from all of you. We have never done an ABD tour, but this one (Scotland) interests me a lot for 2014.

Calfan · 01-23-2013, 02:06 PM

Hi, all. Not sure if anyone else got a tiny bit concerned when they saw the post about the May Scotland trip being cancelled due to lack of interest. Just for some peace of mind, I emailed Kevin at Dreams Unlimited, and he advised that our trip is 86% full but considered sold out because there are no available rooms left. So exciting to be approaching the six month mark for our trip. I can't wait!

I can't believe we are approaching the six month mark. I'm still holding out hope for a summer airfare sale. Doesn't seem to have been any yet.

SleepingPrincess · 01-23-2013, 03:12 PM

Good to know I'm not the only one that's still hoping for a sale on airfare! That being said, I think I'm about to give in and get them soon.

I saw that and worried for a minute until I remembered that your family and CaliforniaGirl's family were going at the same time we were. That makes 10 of us here on the DIS and I figured surely there must be other people going who were not on the DISboards and posting here. I am glad to know for certain though. Thanks for putting our mids at ease

OMG I cannot believe it is almost here! I really need to get cracking on learning the ins and outs of my new camera! I am determined to take lots of good pictures for this trip!

Our news had a segment last night that said 81 days out is the key time to buy overseas flight tickets. Not sure how that was arrived at though.

Glad to know I'm not alone, too.

I've heard the 3-4 month thing, too, and I'm *really* trying to hold out and not panic. But it's tough...
