Already printed the itinerary for Egypt and informed my husband over dinner that we are going. Glad it's finally "official!"

This could be "Dotti's Group" for next year, depending on who's game. If not, I'll have to suffer and go on more than one trip. ;) I'm not sure if this one is going to be so popular that I can't get my own private date, but no matter -- I love meeting new folks!

I am *really* excited about Egypt! Can you tell?

Dotti
 
The initerary for the 2010 Gateway Costa Rica is now the regular 2011 Costa Rica itinerary. And the regular 2010 Costa Rica itinerary is "Signature" Costa Rica. Somehow I think that doesn't bode well for prices. Most of the trips don't have any 2011 dates and prices yet.
 
Dates and prices are posted now.

Dotti, did you receive any information about a return guest discount this year? It's not on the website, but it seems to still be in flux.
 
It's interesting that they make it sound like the Adults Only departures have different activities than the regular departures. In the past, there's really been no difference, except for the lack of Jr. Adventurer's night.

I've got a lot of thinking to do. The only one that caught my eye is an Adult Only China trip on May 15th... But I really don't think I'm up to that far a trip after the Med this year, and getting so sick afterwards. Hmmmm... Let's see if they offer any sort of incentives to book early. Otherwise, it may wait for a while.

Sayhello

I'm with you, Sayhello. I may well book an ABD trip for next year, but I'm in no hurry. If they offer some early incentives, then I may take advantage of that, but otherwise, I'll wait and see what ABD and the other companies have to offer.

The TA site doesn't have anything more than what's on the AbD site, at least for now. We got another email update, but it was mostly highlighting the Egypt itinerary.

Speaking of Egypt, there aren't too many dates to choose from:

I've been there in September and it was Hades hot (110+), but the usual weather for October isn't quite so bad. It's nice not to be working around school schedules -- my last son just graduated in June! (No more tuition = more trips!)

I just found the paperwork from my 1975 trip. It was two weeks, including 3 nights in Athens. The total was under $1,800.00 including airfare. I shouldn't have looked. :rotfl2:

Dotti
 
The Egypt trip appeals to us too. Still this morning the website is full of mistakes, so it's hard to know everything, but we ARE working around school schedules and the longer trip to Egypt leaves before our kids are out of school (hey kids, mind if you miss finals this year?)
August doesn't work for us.
 
There are several places where the Overview doesn't match the daily itinerary. The 10 day Australia trip that ga9497 has on (her/his?) list isn't even on the website, and the daily itinerary they have posted doesn't have Uluru on it. On Day Five when the trip goes to the desert the first activity is "Dinner on your own in Sydney" :confused3 They've still got some work to do on the website.
 
Today is my husband's birthday and he was planning on booking us a trip to Egypt for his present. The 7 day trip doesn't have an itinerary yet. I wish they would get the website all up and running properly before posting it. On the Egypt trip, if you look at the printable itinerary it says Shanghai!!!!!
My daughter just suggested booking the 7 day and adding the other days ourselves.
