Hello fellow cohorts on the June 6 Silk Road in Central Asia Trip. We are Judy and Denny Briley from Kansas City area. We will be departing from Chicago to Frankfurt connecting on Lufthansa to Almaty. From what I see on the blog it looks like a number of us will be on the Almaty flight. Looking forward to the trip. Safe travel

Hi from Molly O'Donnell and Robert Harris. She and I met in upstate NY, Binghamton, about 25 years ago! We live in north Jersey and we're leaving from Newark, transferring at Frankfurt, Germany. Look forward to meeting you -- Robert

James, I will be going on this trip, and I have heard from Marilyn and Warren Blaisdell, also on the trip. I am from Memphis, but I believe the Blaisdells are from further north! I don't know how large a group this is, it is my first Road Scholar trip.

We are on the Oct. 24 trip. Looking forward to it. We did the Caucasus trip last October, and I agree about dragging heavy suitcases across the border.

I'll be taking the Sept. 5 to 23 trip. Anyone else out there who'll be joining me and my friends? Also, for those who've already taken this trip, is there anything you packed or did that you would particularly recommend or discourage? Many thanks!

We never used our walking sticks. The hotels supplied hair dryers. It cannot be said too many times-pack lightly. Dragging heavy suitcases across borders is no fun..

I didn't use my walking stick, didn't take a hair dryer. If you need feminine supplies, take all that you might need. PACK LIGHTLY!!

Can anyone confirm that electrical outlets in all of the Silk Road Companies visited require a Type B receptacle adaptor in order for us to utilize them?

Wende Hitchcock May 11, 2013 at 08:43 PM

Yes. I returned Monday from the Silk Road tour. The only adapter I used was B for all countries.

take a lot of small denomination, dollars for buying things at bazaars. Ones, fives, tens. If you wish to purchase beverages they come in handy too. You should be able to change money easily into local currency as well. Our guide - who was amazing- helped with that. If you are a coffee drinker it is not always available and sometimes only instant coffee is offered. Although I'm not a Starbucks fan, I wish I had taken some of their packets of Via instant which is actually pretty good. If you use wash cloths I suggest taking a fast drying baby wash cloth or two. It's a wonderful tour!
