One of the most unique sights on our tour will be viewing the Bayeux Tapestry in Bayeux, France on Day 7. It tells of the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror in 1066. The official web site is excellent to show the tapestry scene by scene with an explanation. Read this site first then watch this fantastic animated video.
Knowing the background first will make this video more meaningful. It has fabulous background music. If a video box does not appear, then go directly to the YouTube video here.

Single Rooms
If anyone is interested in a single room on the tour, the rate is $65 per hotel night. With 8 nights in hotels, that would be $520 extra. No decisions need be made until March 2009.
Itinerary Update
I have arranged one change in the itinerary. I had Passports cancel the group dinner in London on our last night of the tour. Since we have the whole day to go where we want with no time constraints, it seemed like we would waste too much valuable sightseeing time trying to get back to one restaurant. So you are now on your own to eat where you want and take as much or as little time as you want and not rush. Since your tour fee already includes the dinner, Passports will send $20 each to me prior to departure for your dinner and I will distribute it at the airport.
Roommates
Even though we currently have an uneven number of participants...not to worry. We will wait until everyone has paid in full by next March and see if there is still an uneven number of travelers. Someone may have to cancel...and there may be some new travelers by then. We'll wait and see. Rooming will work itself out.
