Re: Tanzania Visa app REJECTED/Kenya accepted
I would put the visa on arrival choice as the choice of last resort. On one of our trips a family of five that arrived on the same flight as ours decided to do the visa on arrival. We waited outside on the sidewalk for two and a half hours while they got their visas. On a subsequent trip I told the Tauck HQ about that experience and they guaranteed we would be taken directly to the hotel … and we were. Your time is short, so I think you need to use Visa Central. Your application probably had a simple error on it somewhere, but I think you are out of time.

Re: Denmark - Copenhagen Restaurant Recommendations
I do not have experience with Høst, but here are some other suggestions:
King Hans Cellar - an intimate setting and a great place to end your stay in København. There are pre-set menus with wine pairings as well as à la carte items.
Schønnemann’s - traditional smørrebrød.
When strolling about, try one of the ubiquitous sausage stands. One of my favorites is DØP - Den Økologiske Pølsemand.
Look for æbleskiver in pastry and coffee shops. They are small, puffed pastries…and delicious.
I have more suggestions but not in København.
Enjoy.

Re: London theatre show choices
I’m wondering if they might not always be the same choices as shows change or the amount of tickets required changes.
A good website to use is westendtheatre.com which we have used in the past. London shows are way less expensive than Broadway!

Re: London theatre show choices
When we took the tour the TD gave us a list of shows and restaurants the first night of the tour at the welcome reception. We chose our top 3 of each and gave it back the next day. By the time we got to London he had a list of who was going where. For our tour everyone got their first choice.
Re: London theatre show choices
British is correct. They change based on availability.
I did this trip last year. There were several Disney selections, several also on B'way, and I few others.
Out of the choices offered, we weren't interested in Disney and had seen most of the other choices on Broadway. The only one of possible interest was Mousetrap. Maybe it was the cast that night, but I thought it was the worst show I had seen in years - incredibly boring. I walked out at intermission and didn't return.

Re: CBD Oil
I was able to purchase Voltaren in the Heathrow Airport at Boots #7. It is much stronger than what you can purchase here.
Re: Port house tour and tasting in Portugal
We were given a cooking demonstration with tasting of the francesinha sandwich while on Tauck’s Douro River tour. Hearty it is—several different meats, sausage, cheese, sauce and an egg on top. It needed a defibrillator accompaniment.

Oh please, Henry. Give it up already. Your miserable existence is getting tiresome.

Re: July 26 trip
As with most Tauck trips, there are built in ‘surprises’. I’m not going to reveal any more than I already have, and that is probably too much. It is obviously our favorite trip since we have done it four times. Each time was a different experience.
