Suggestion: Ask before you ....
Is it just me, or do others also wonder what to respond to posts like:
"I've booked & paid for a (non cancellable) 25 day tour with WXY company, what do you think? We're leaving tomorrow!"
I'm exaggerating a little, I know but ....
Are these folk just looking for endorsement of their decisions? Otherwise, what can we say but ... "What does it matter what we think - you're committed to it. What's the point of asking us now?"
The US board has something called, "Freaky Friday Rants & Raves".
I suppose I'm just having a "Sleety Saturday Sigh".

It's not just you, Bokhara. I can't figure it either. There's another one on the Asia forum right now. I can only assume that they've gone into the self-doubt mode that a lot of buyers experience after they've bought something, and are indeed seeking reassurance. They don't get too much here as a rule because most Fodorites are into independent travel.

Bokhara-
I hadn't noticed that's what people do, but if it is what a waste of great information.
Back in April you and others helped us narrow our plans for our 3 week trip. We look forward to a fantastic adventure the end of September. Can hardly wait.
Just wanted you to know thoses you do help really, really appreciate it!
