Visa for USA
I am travelling from the UK to the USA for the Grand Southern tour which means I will be there for 30 days in total. I have a UK passport and I believe this makes me eligible to apply for a visa waiver for travelling to USA. Has anyone ever used a visa waiver for a USA trip with Contiki? Should I apply for a visa waiver or a tourist visa? I am unsure because I will be travelling around USA not staying in one place for the whole time. Will I need to give all the hotel addresses to apply? I have tried looking on the visa waiver website and am still a little confused so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Glenda

Europe dress code
Hi. I was reading that we need to bring a dress for nights out (girls obviously). I really can't find one and was wondering if other girls have ever got away with trousers for all nights out. I am going on European horizon trip and don't know if only having trousers will mean I can't go on nights out. I would appreciate any advice Thanks Glenda
