Thanks, Kathy.

Tauck was one of the first options I considered. We've toured with them before and were very pleased.

I did see that river/land combo you are talking about. Great itinerary. The only negative that I can see is that the cabins on MS Switzerland have twin bedding. I will need to consult a TA as to whether or not this is the case. Twin beds will not work for us. Alan is a tall guy!

Tauck has a land tour that looks quite good. Only negative with that is the packing/unpacking.

Sorry you can't do this in 2006. It would be great to have you join us.

Maurice, I will send a note your way!

Anyone else? Please PM me. If I can get a large enoough group interested, I can ask about group pricing.
