Re: Teeny Tiny Duffel for Namibia
Stellie, just returning from Epic Namibia and will post my comments and observations on that page soon. We left our Tauck duffels with our FABULOUS TD at the Omaanda Lodge, our final stop. One was full of some of our safari gear for the staff there, and our TD kept the second one as she said someone might need it in Windhoek. She mentioned she has one guest doing back to back Elegant South Africa(?) and Epic Namibia. If that is you, then please be our guest and enjoy. It is truly EPIC. ❤️👏
Re: Assistance needed
In Namibia, power plugs and sockets (outlets) of type D and type M are used. The standard voltage is 220 V at a frequency of 50 Hz.
D first one & M .

Re: Dinners seating?
henrypoon_66 - I enjoy the sophisicated, well traveled, seasoned, knowledgeable, athletic, laid back Abercrombie & Kent crowd.
Does A&K not have a Forum? Not sure why you feel compelled to convey your thoughts about A&K to the people here on the Tauck Forum that you feel are not up to your standards.
People you will be traveling with: I enjoy the sophisicated, well traveled, seasoned, knowledgeable, athletic, laid back Abercrombie & Kent crowd. Every one in my group of 18 was always willing to rotate tables at dinners (Tauck crowd saved tables for their friends just like high school) never fought for the front seats ( Occurred every day at Tauck so seats have to be assigned on the bus), never demanded bathroom breaks (very few scheduled on A&K. Tauck appeared more leisiurely at each spot with frequent time for bathroon. No need to hold bladder with Tauck), enjoyed shopping (Tauck crowd shunned stopping for souvenir breaks) and never unwilling to go along with the group without being self-centered. There is NO BULLYING AROUND with A&K! There were some truly obnoxious folks at my last Tauck Trip A Week in Portugal that prompted me to try out Abercrombie & Kent.
Again, not sure why you feel compelled to post stuff like the above on a Tauck Forum?
Re: Dinners seating?
I am confused. What has portugal got to do with the comparison of two Japan tours?

MS78
I am posting a pic. It's 21 inches length. Tauck needs to REMOVE the Rolling Duffel from the description of the tour.

Re: Assistance needed
MS78 please stay tuned; a bit jet lagged tonight after some tough travel challenges.
Re: Assistance needed
Stellie Hi! you got ahead of me.... I just saw it. I hope Sandyfeet gives a little more info.
I guess by calling the Omaanda Lodge... Amazing, It's a good sign, hopefully it was overall a great trip! Yahoo! _
SandyFeet Hi
When you get a chance could you tell us how the overall experience was, if you felt the time was well spend, if you had great animal viewing at Etosha....
Sandyfeet's, I will certainly give them your love message, they both look very sweet and friendly as all the people in Africa are... cannot wait, for my trip, !! days & counting.
Sandyfeet's 1 question, if you can kindly let us know... on Day 5 - "the marine life of Walvis Bay by kayak or catamaran"
There is a BBQ after the activities, do you recall when the sailing part ended before noon? @ what time did the BBQ started.
I have booked a trip to see the Sandwich Harbour and it start @ 12:00 pm. I wonder if I will be on time or not.
Thanks in advance...

Re: So far, not happy with 2 of the 3 hotels...
No guarantee you will have success, but if you learn ahead of time from previous travelers or by calling the concierge, you can sometimes get a better room by paying the hotel an up charge. We did that years ago on England, Scotland, Wales at the Edinburgh Sheraton- the Tauck rooms had no view; we had a castle view! 🙂
