I usually travel as a single on coach tours and opt for the 'single share option' sharing with another woman who has made the same choice. It saves on the single supplement (don't get me started) and I usually have a really fun person to share with.The Christmas Markets tour... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=518447&go=jacqi Sun, 9 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT
