[Idyllchat] Back to the Topic of Single Travel

[RiversRMe at aol.com]

The single supplement puts Untours way out of the price range for  anyone 
going solo. I would dearly love to take more Untours trips, now  that my knees 
are ready for travel. Although traveling with a friend is  preferred, I would be 
on the next plane if a solution to this age old  problem became available. 
For all solo travelers, help!

A few have tired of  the top of stick shifts so I’m changing the Subject  Line
…. 
I’ve followed this  posting about stick shifts with kind of a chuckle and a 
sense of  amusement. 
This discussion began  when I inquired about single Untours travel for a 
woman to South Tuscany. 
I was thinking of  concerns like paying a single supplement fee, safety of 
traveling alone,  friendliness of the 
natives and fellow  Untours travelers I might run into, ease of getting 
directions and assistance  when needed, 
cultural receptivity  to a single female traveler, etc... 
Betty Ruth and Rosa,  whom I do not know, cheered me on and said “Go for it!
’’  Several of you  kindly 
suggested other  locations – cities vs. more remote locations, Switzerland, 
Germany,  etc. 
And then someone  mentioned stick shifts and co-opted my question about 
single travel. Kind of  like 
an old fashioned game  of “gossip” when someone whispers an original message 
in someone’s  ear 
and the message at  the end of the line is totally different. 
So, back to my  original question – Is Untours, anywhere, set up to be a good 
trip provider of  choice 
for single travelers  – male or female?   
Maybe all’s been said  on the subject that can be ….at this point. 
Fun to know you’re  all out there.

Subject: Re: [Idyllchat] Stick vs.  automatic shifts
 
I have followed this  posting with interest.  Both my husband and myself can 
drive a stick  shift and insisted that our children learn also much  to their 
chagrin,  but it has been valuable to them once or  twice.

You've been gone  too long Vance.  Most of the automatic transmissions of 
today make  the cars go in reverse also and we have steering wheels instead of 
sticks  now. (Sorry, couldn't resist the dig).  I do drive a stick shift but  
few people I know, especially young people, have any knowledge of shifting  
gears and what a clutch is.
