I'm listening to the ABD podcast right now.
I'm so sorry, John & Kevin, but I am literally I've been in danger of spitting out my water several times...
Val & I listened to the ABD segment yesterday afternoon. Very entertaining. And horrifying.
I have to give Kevin & John credit for being so open and honest about the "opportunities" on this trip. Especially knowing that Dreams sells ABD and is probably hurting their chances of booking more of these by the review. It did make us think twice about any ABD trips we may want to do in the future.
Fortunately, we'll be experiencing our own Adventure in just a couple of months and I'm sure we'll have a better time of it.
We've always felt that speaking the truth was the right thing to do. It might lead to short term financial losses, but it leads to long term integrity....and that's entirely more valuable.
While we have always given our honest opinions on everything we review, even when it's not in our best financial interest, I think the "take away" from that review was that this is the first time we've ever been disappointed by ABD.
John and I have each completed (and thoroughly enjoyed) 7 Adventures. Pete has closer to 10. I have booked 100s of people on Adventures and gotten almost entirely positive feedback.
In my opinion, this was a tactical error on ABD's part, but again....this was the first time we have ever had this happen.

I downloaded this morning and only 3 came up (which I was excited about), now I know there are 3 more ....I'm beyond happy, gonna go download the last 3 now.
I've tried downloading all of them 3 time onto my Ipod and they aren't coming up. Restarted it and tried again, no luck. Anyone else have trouble? Or advice?

btw, I forgot.. was the town where the narrow roads were Orvieto? If so that's pretty funny because I'm watching an episode of Rick Steve's right now and he took a lift type thing up to Orvieto. He mentioned that the streets are so tight and narrow that the city built public transportation and suggests that most people take that instead of trying to drive up into the heart of the city.
I might be totally off and this might not be where Kevin and John were but for some reason Orvieto sounds familliar to me.
