The naivete of the stranger in the land of the unknown knows no limits. From the mouths of travellers comes the lack of “Wisdom of the Ages”. It’s hard to form answer to a serious question posed in ignorance.
At Windsor Castle, “Why did they build this castle so close to the airport?”
After returning from Austria, “Did you see any kangaroos up close there?”
A recent trip to Israel, “Was that where Jesus was born? Did you visit his house?”
Frustration on the layout of the modern ship prompted, “I don’t want to be here, why doesn’t this ship have an elevator that goes from the back of the ship to the front? That’s where I needed to go!” An idea whose time has come perhaps…
In the confusion of the ubiquitous immigration, customs forms, etc. The print question “Where were you born?” was answered in two words, “The hospital!”
“The beach was too sandy.”
As he slurped the gravy, a guest at a Novotel in Australia complained, “This soup is too thick and strong.”
Buyer be wary, “I bought these Ray-Ban sunglasses for $5 from a street vendor and you tell me they are fake?”
“No-one told us there would be fish in the water near the beach. My children were startled.”
In Spain, “There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. It’s not like this at home!”
“We booked a snorkel excursion, but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming suits and towels.”
During a tour of Rome’s Coliseum, it was asked, “Is this the stage set for Ben-Hur?”
Over heard at the Lincoln Memorial on Washington’s National Mall, “Man! Lincoln was one big guy back then.”
Notes from Jennifer: Any information provided is for guideline purposes only and is subject to availability and change which will be confirmed with you before making a reservation.
We subscribe to a "No Surprises Please" advertising credo, but sometimes even we are surprised.
All attempts have been made to insure a complete, honest price in our advertisements.
Some situations are very fluid and beyond our control.
As itinerary package details or pricing structures change, our advertisements will be updated.
Canadian dollar (CAD) pricing for some international itineraries is based on prevailing exchange rates at time of publication. An updated CAD pricing will be verified with you at time of booking.
I have watched prices change right on my computer screen. Only by confirming a booking with a deposit can prices be finalized.
If airfare has been included in a quote, then it should be noted that airfare pricing and availability is like the stock market - and subject to change at anytime prior to booking.
Many times international airfare can be placed on a no cost/no obligation hold for up to 72 hours on providing only your full name as it appears in your passport.
If hotel accommodation has been part of a quote, it may be based on limited or time sensitive, consolidator-contracted rates. These rates can change without notice and may be subject to capacity controls.
Travel insurance is highly recommended.
Quotes routinely provide the deluxe insurance package rate.
Conditions are subject to health and age qualifications.
You must be presented with the insurance options and must acknowledge your decision on coverage as per TICO regulations.
There is no obligation to buy travel inurance.
By booking with us, a TICO registered travel agency, you are afforded certain limited protections and guarantees; please visit http://www.tico.ca for more information.
