My Way Alpine 16-27 September Roster

No, but I can't tell you how many times I've looked at the tour! Enjoy!!

I will miss you by two days. My tour starts Monday, the 14th.

It will be fun to compare notes afterwards.

Hi Mitzi! Ours starts next Monday and looks like we're going into a (OMG!!!) HEATWAVE.
If I were to do this again it will likely be in September.
: )

Yes my husband and I will be on this tour Sep 16-27. We are so looking forward to it!

Hi barb! Welcome to the RS forums :)
I'm glad to "meet" someone else from our upcoming Alps adventure!

My wife and I will be on this tour.
We are in the research phase.
So fun!
Also reading Rick Steves' "On the Hippie Trail" and soon his book "Traveling as a Political Act."
We are happy, upbeat travelers looking forward to a wonderful trip.

I'm happy to "meet" you, Bobbi and Becky! You will be thrilled with this tour! I'm very excited about my birthday month - SEPTEMBER!

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, if I'm able.

Anyone else out there going 16-27 this September ?
Either not many of us are in the forums or we're going to have a less-than-full tour group :)

All the seats for your tour have been sold. Unfortunately, not many who take the tours seem to find there way to the forum.

I first came here looking for advice on independent travel. And after reading all the positive comments on the my way alps tour over the last few years, I decided to give it a try. My tour, stating on Sept. 14th, is also sold out.

Hi, my husband and I will be joining you the 16th-27th. We actually are arriving the 15th.
We are excited about our first RS tour and to celebrate our 30th anniversary!

One of the best ways to do research for the tour is to look at the RS scrapbooks. They helped me hugely.

Glad to 'meet' you, skrogers!
What a great anniversary celebration! We, too, are celebrating ours! #35

Wonderful! I've stayed at the first 3 (all lovely!!) and heard great things about the rest. You'll love them all!

Sadly, our tour still says we'll know the details on Aug 17 but I'm checking daily.

We're getting so excited! Two questions:
1. For those flying out of Geneva on 9/27, who have you booked for transport to the airport?
2. How are restaurants where we're going with plate sharing? We've both had weight loss surgery and can't eat much at one sitting so we often share.
Thanks!

1. When we've flown out of Geneva, coming from our last stop in Chamonix, we have booked Mountain Drop Offs. Done it 2 times and been very happy with them!
2. I love your question about food/ plate sharing! Not the exact same situation as you but DH and I are definitely eating a lot less and tend to share a meal instead of having our own but that wasn't the case the last time we were in Europe so I haven't explored the situation, yet. I hope someone chimes in with their experiences.
   

Thank you!

😀Our documents have been updated! The hotel list and roster is available now😃

What are your hotels?

So fun to now be able to look at the hotels and the roster.
Are Barb and Mike here on this forum thread from Hampton, NH? We live in the next town!

Yes! I was pleasantly surprised to see two people listed on the roster from Portsmouth. We're looking forward to the trip and meeting everyone!

I took this tour in late June. Regarding the topic of plate sharing - husband and I both have reduced capacity issues, so I feel qualified in answering this question. :D
I can tell you that in most restaurants on this tour, our strategy was to order a dinner salad and an entree, or an appetizer, and entree, and a side salad. At a pizza restaurant, in Kastelruth, we shared a pie and a dinner salad. The servers never even blinked and were happy to take our order. We also shared a dessert, when we have room. Most of these restaurants cater to tourists, so they are used to seeing all kinds of orders.
When we ate lunch at a restaurant in Seiser Alm, we ordered a burger and a plate of 3 dumplings, I could barely finish one dumpling so did a takeaway, and proceeded to finish the rest for snack over the next couple of days. No issues with food spoilage and we kept it for a day until we got to Fussen (where we had a fridge).
