Travel Tips!

Start walking NOW! If you think you are doing enough walking, add more! Then add a bag with a camera and a bottle of water (or two) and walk some more! Our buses cannot always enter certain areas of cities. We are let off as close as possible and then walk the rest of the way. This may be of some distance and can take you up and down steps as well as hills.

Important Information

To get from one city to the next usually means a bus ride of a few hours (3-5) between cities. The buses are large, air-conditioned, with plenty of leg room and a "toiletta" for Emergency Only. The scenery is beautiful, and you can always ... read, write, or nap. There is a comfort stop along the way to get out, walk around, and get something to eat or drink. You can look at a map to see the distances between the cities we will be visiting.

WHAT SHOULD I PACK IN MY CARRY ON BAG

• Pack Light! you don't need as much as you think, plus you need room for souvenirs.
• Items of value, such as cash or jewelry, medication, travel documents, should never go in your checked baggage. 
• If your luggage does not make it to your destination the same time you do, be prepared and pack a change of clothes in your Carry On Bag.
• You might also consider one-day items, in other words, all the items you would need to make it through a 24-hour day, just in case your luggage goes missing.
• Purchase any foreign currency needed from your bank before you leave. You can get more currency from an ATM.
