We went to Morocco with you. The variety and quality of the destinations and accommodation was very good. There were downsides: 1. The guide on the bus was hard to understand, and not just by me. I have severe hearing difficulties, so asked to be seated near the front of the bus (not at the front). The tour leader said she would check with the office. Request declined. After return from the trip I became aware that compliance with my request would not have made any difference, since my hearing problem is caused by my incapacity to differentiate sounds. However on one occasion, during a tour of historic buildings, I was able to understand the local guide, and was not the only one who found a difference in understanding. So I must conclude that the selection of your on- bus guide should seriously emphasize the clarity, and perhaps pitch of the voice of a guide- to -be. Luckily, I was prepared to accept that I would not understand much, and expected to bridge that by interesting myself in the site environments, during destination visits. What I did not take into consideration was the fact that most of the talking of the guide would take place on the bus, where the best alternate activity was looking out the window. Which brings me to point 2. of the downsides: too much time on the bus. Most of the older persons would be well served by being afforded some time for exercise. There was too little opportunity for that. If anyone was not prepared to do some physical activity, or could not, then those of us who try to keep physical exercise in our daily lives should not be deprived of that opportunity, if at all possible. And too much time on the bus does not help. Ok, that is it. You asked for comments, and I hope mine can be of assistance. Klaus Wehrenberg, Aurora
