Great trip all round, lots to see and all really well organised so great to relax and enjoy the holiday.

It was a very good trip however I think the camping would be hard for a lot of people. Also access to the internet is important for most. We were charged 10 dollars to connect to the internet at the campsite near Yosemite.
