Re: Michigan's Lakes and Mackinac Island
I believe that all Fairmont hotels are partners with Tauck. Unfortunately, IMHO, my experiences of staying at least in some of those Fairmont hotels on various travels was mixed. Sigh. Even though it may cost more, Four Seasons hotels everywhere use to have a great reputation to live up to. Just saying. :-)
Re: Turkey Land Tour recommendation
Mowie, seems we have gotten off your initial question. We absolutely loved the A&K tour of Türkiye.. We had a fabulous friendly expert guide. We stayed in Four Seasons and other five star hotels and meals were excellent everywhere.We took some internal flights, including Cappadocia and it was easy and efficient.We had three nights in Cappadocia which is one of the reasons we wen5 on the tour, and it was magical. Don’t hesitate….its a fab trip.
Re: Turkey Land Tour recommendation
Thanks Marla, But on their itinerary now it is only two nights in Cappadocia. If it were three, I would sign right away for the tour. When did you go on this trip? I will call A and K on Tuesday about it. Thanks for your feedback and so glad you had a wonderful trip with them!

I noticed the disappearance of My Drafts as well, Alan. Or, per Same, maybe I just it was there...
Re: Dinner in Ephesus.
My memory is that we chose our main dish in advance of the dinner. You can see some pictures of when we were at the dinner at https://www.mikeandjudytravel.com/2024-2Athens-02.htm#EphesusDinner
The dinner and the location/atmosphere was a high point of the trip.

OOps-nvmd Linda Marie...I am going 9/29-bummer. But have a fantastic trip-I too am working on my visa as we speak. I have my yellow card, but is it required as a US citizen?

Kenya and Tanzania- A classic Safari
We just got back from this trip and we checked this forum before our trip so we figure, we return the favor. We had a wonderful trip. August is a great time to visit, not too hot and very few tse tse flies- hardly needed our premethrin spray and lotion but used them anyway. We did all the pre-spray business with all our clothing before packing. For Serengeti, only bring earth tone clothing. Also, if you are sensitive to dust, bring dust masks. None of the hotels provide hair conditioner so bring some if you can't live without them. For meds, Mucinex for cold and Cipro for stomach issues was helpful to some that really needed them. Few people had reaction to Malarin. A light jacket proved very useful. Slip on shoes was a great idea-makes stepping on safari jeep seats very easy. Binoculars were helpful. Everyone in our tour got along and shared pictures. I have an iPhone 15 Pro max and almost didn't need my big camera- except for very far shots. Happy trip everyone. I am attaching some pictures

Tauck Tech put out a bulletin on that. They called it Alzheimer's! 😂
