16th February 2011
The bad news today was being advised by our travel agent that our Globus Travel Tour, the "7 day European Sampler Tour" has been cancelled - just like that!!! Having booked it 5 months ago, paid in full in December to qualify for a discount, we were pissed off to say the least.
However Globus have assured us that a full refund will be made should we not accept the alternative offer. This alternative is very similar but a day longer. If we shorten our London leg by a day it will fit in with our plans forward from 3rd May.
However, this little offer, whilst a day longer & covering the same route is a cool A$1842 extra!
We will now give thought to an alternative plan & certainly not using Globus.

Monday, February 7.
Beth continues with her basics in Italian whilst working long hours to complete Waygle orders prior to our departure.
All bookings - air, rail, hotel, tours & hire car arrangments now complete & finalised. Just a few more dollars to part with on 2nd March & then we'll be done & dusted.
As we continue to procrastinate on clothing & footwear likely to be needed bearing in mind baggae limitations, I am told there are just 60 more 'sleeps' to go!
