I am on the waiting list for the Sept 2013 departure. I would like to know your opinion of the Tour co-ordinator on the trip. I realize it may not be the same person on each departure, but was the person on top of things and knowledgeable?

When I went in 2011,Sally was the coordinator and Don was the historian. They were both wonderful. I believe she said it was her first trip, and if she has gotten better, I don't see how, except for the bridge incident. If you get a chance, ask them about it. It is a great experience.

Thanks for your reply. I judge a tour by it's group leader. That person(s) makes the difference in a good travel experience.

My wife, Ann, and I have just signed up for the July 29 Lewis & Clark program. We would be interested in chatting with other members of this tour.

My husband, Ron, and I, Bonnie, will be arriving in St. Louis on 9/6. We are staying at the Parkway Hotel until Sunday when we plan to leave for St. Charles. Is anyone on our trip planning an early arrival in St. Louis? If so, do you want to get together to see the brewery, museums, etc.? Let me know. Bonnie Duncan email me: duncan9798@att.net

I took this trip in 2011, and it is a fabulous adventure! It is quite a challenge to live this long out of a suitcase, but the experience is so interesting that it is worth it. Our historian kept us engaged during the entire time. There is free time, usually in the evenings. I just got home from a 9 day trip to South Dakota with another group amd there is no comparison--hours on the bus with nothing to do. I guess it is true that you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the reply! Did you go in Sept or Aug? Did you need any cold weather clothes?

I am very interested in this trip. I am very recently widowed and grieving, but still hope to be good company by September. Please let me hear from you if you are planning to go. I wanted to go at the time of the Centennial, but did not manage it. Now, I am in the process of retiring and able.
