There are three tours I have been on. Loved New Zealand. We were lucky and got across the South Island before the storm washed out the bridge and the trains were halted. Enjoyed every minute. Was slightly disappointed that we did not see the giant Kauri Tree, and that there wasn't enough time to walk under the trees. Also would have loved the final train ride before taking the ferry to the North Island. Instead we flew. Our (husband and I) trip to the Maritimes was great. The weather in PEI was beyond your control. Loved the poor man's dinner with all the dressing up, the lobster/seafood dinner and folk dancing. Also loved pier 21 - a picture of my ship was on the wall - Titanic graveyard and Bell museum. Trip to Scottsdale over Christmas did not work out as well. Our own trip to Taliesin and evening trip to Desert Garden were great, as was the Musical Instrument Museum. The Heard Museum was excellent - just sorry we didn't have NEARLY enough time - and it was a special day with native dancing and celebrations as well. I'd give up a restaurant any time for that. Trips to Grand Canyon, Verde Railway and Boat trip were all good! But who needs to spend a whole day at the Mesa market? Or who needs a happy hour every day even when we are not having supper together? All tour managers were good and tried hard. Now I am looking for a new trip to New Zealand to see all the things I missed - Stewart Island? Small Group? And I was just short of signing up for the trip to Nepal and Bhutan - hope we can go soon together! Ellen Dennig Probably left things out - both positive and negative. Hoping for safe travelling soon!!
