Thanks Julia,
That's better than I thought, I've got my passport (only took one week to arrive), so I'll be booking this weekend. I'm hoping to get the connecting flight back to Newcastle on the same night as 2 hours should be enough time to get through security as I won't need to collect my suitcase or check-in again, or change terminals. But I will keep an eye out for my final flight info in case I need to change the flight for 14th May and book a hotel.
I would prefer to get home the same day if possible, and I'm sure there will be others on my tour who are also getting connecting flights.
I'm pleased this holiday has now been cleared to operate and look forward to meeting everyone in May.
If you could let me know the prices for the optional excursions once they have been confirmed that'll be great, I'll book them separately.
Regards
Caroline
