My Travel Company

So I'm traveling with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) on the EG3 Egypt tour. There a part of Grand Circle Tours. We will go to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and a Nile Cruise.

(This is just so this information gets indexed with my web page since I haven't mentioned specifics before).

My Tickets!

So I got an envelope from the travel agency today. This is the one that's supposed to have the tickets for my flights in it. Did you see that, I said supposed to? Yes, there were no tickets in my envelope. Nor was there a receipt for an eTicket of any sort in there either. How annoying was that?!? And of course I didn't see it until after they closed for the day. I see this as being one of those crisises that make me crazy until a few days before the trip leaves.

Of course they'll tell me this is normal that they don't have them yet, but the confusion is easy enough to solve: just don't include the memo that says they are in the envelope! At least include my flight info (I see that's on-line, but that's another story). I didn't see a name badge in there either which is listed as mailed (but it might have been mixed in with the luggage tags, although they weren't pre-printed, I'd assume the name badge would be).

And in the envelope there was this carrying case for your ticket (but no ticket) that just screamed “I'm a tourist”, I don't know if I'll actually use it. They sent me some other little gift thing like that before (I want to say some kind of wallet). Send me something useful, like a plastic power adaptor and a list of WiFi hot spots!

The did have a list of all the hotels and web addresses (when available), so I will be able to find out more information about them (and if they have internet access). They sent me a more detailed itinerary but I kinda thought by this point it'd have the dates listed and not just “Day 5”, etc...
