Thanks Jack64. Your explanation makes a lot of sense. I’d like to do one of your Northern tours but at the age of 77 I have to tell you I’ve been there, done it and got the t-shirt! I also did America for six months, way back in time when Boston Baked Beans presented one hour of Bing Crosby on radio. Too old now, I’m afraid — although I was in Detroit last week on business.
I wonder, being in the tour business could you answer me a question? It might sound a bit daft, but why do the majority of airlines weigh baggage but don’t weigh passengers? They must have a maximum limit to the weight they carry.
Best wishes
