Question all re. West Indies tour options March/April

I'm weighing up four different options and must commit soon. The CA one gives access to players, Q and A sessions etc., there are a couple of more privately-oriented ones with different modules test and limited overs options etc. ( a couple of these pose as beer party types) but premium sports tours offers a good tests package as well as an add on before the tour to South America (Lima, Machu Pichu, Cuzco, Sacred Valley, Panama) at what seems a decent price.

Series question - what would tempt you?

Do the hiking option.

Pick the hiking option which starts with the short pier.

Series question - what would tempt you?

The one with freedom. The one without a hoard of pensioners on it. The one without Merv Hughes on it.

Do you mean "serious question" or "series question"?

Serious question answer - don't go anywhere where you might be faced with a bunch of drunk uncouth Aussies and be associated with them.

Series question answer - why go watch WI v Aus?

Tests, good company and a bit of drinking on thee side. Whatever,you won't get much access to the players.

Now how would FB structure a tour?

Skulls doing trivia quizzes?

Purely and simply for location, location, location.

Thanks to those who replied; think I'll do the one with the South American add ons.

Seriously? Do what you want to do. Make up your own mind. Or are you incapable of that now that Spanky's not around to tell you what to think?

I think the way Red phrased the question indicates the way s/he was going. So presumably just looking for thoughts, rather than direction. Which seems fair enough.

Possibly also a bit of tacit boasting

If it was the first time he/she/it had mentioned the trip, then it could perhaps be forgiven, but it isn't the first time.

I seriously wanted advice having had four tour options in front of me. The South American option wasn't one I expected to come up so I was wondering what people though about, that's all. Apologies if it sounded boastful.

Come on Zat

it is no more boastful than you or me saying we are forumming from an Ipad.

Let this one go.

I am actually a bit jealous of Red. I'd love to go on a cricket tour to the Caribbean. I don't think i'd go as part of a tour group, though. Well, unless you consider the Barmy Army to be a tour group.

It'd be the South American add-ons for me.

Don't go an any tour group and tailor make your own trip.


Its not like you aren't going to get tickets to the tests on the day.

I went and booked the one with the South American option yesterday and am coordinating it with an Eastern European trip to follow.

I've heard it's a bit of a dodgy part of the world so thought it safer to go on an organised trip.

Of course males might be less worried about this. Agree about the tickets though, it's not as if there won't be masses of them available.

And it's easier to get a jump on an organised tour.

The Guyana Test has been moved to Dominica.

Same dates.

Yes I received a letter about it, something about in-fighting in the Windies board but I'm only doing the first two tests. Stacky is on my tour!!

What happened, was Jackers leading a tour party?

Barbados, Red? Enjoy!!!
