Hey!

This isn't about the site, but about the US Travelers Guide 09-10 I just received. I just thought I should let you guys know that it's got typos in it... nothing misspelled per se, but there are sentences and words that get repeated, and I saw a couple of "the Canada"s in there. Kinda funny, but not something I'd expect from a company.

Hi Rezuri,

Thanks for the heads up. Is the "Travelers Guide" something that came with your documents after booking a tour? Or did you find this somewhere else? Also, what country do you reside in? Your answers will help me track down the specific document you're referring to, and it's origin.

Any info you can provide would be much appreciated, thanks!
Kate

Edit: Are you in the US, or did the document come after booking a US operated tour (just trying to figure out the doc name, "US Travelers Guide 09-10"). Thanks!

Hi Kate,

It's "USA & Canada + Mexico, Alaska & Hawaii Travellers Guide 09-10".

I booked the New York Explorer, and received this guide with my travel documents (I live in Canada).

It's been a couple of weeks since I read the book, so I can't pin-point everything I noticed (and I only read the new york or general sections), but there is a section.... page 36? under "Optional Meals & Excursions"... the last sentence is a repeat of one that was written earlier in the paragraph, and on pg 38 under "health & hygiene" the first paragraph is repeated twice. Stuff that should've been caught by the editor/proof-readers.

Also, the hotel info for my tour is out of date.

Hmm... The Global Phone card also has a typo on it... ("In the Canada dial (number)")

Cheers and have a great weekend!
