I've known Brian for many years now and have always found him and his company very good to deal with.

Dang - I'm sorry I missed this Aysedasi! I hope that this becomes a normal trip for me now that our kids are grown. One hope I had posting here (finally) was for ideas like this. Would you mind sending his contact details? It can't hurt and considering you're blog for first-timers is the first place I went, I trust your opinion.
My wife is an active backpacker but since the Flexotel options were all booked, I opted for glamping. It adds a little "look-it's-fancy-camping-and-not-just-about-the-race-for-me-see-it-can-be-nice-at-races"
Our trip is bookended with things that are more for her but if I can get back in 2024 I'll look at other more austere options.

You know, that's exactly what got in my way going this year. Making distinct arrangements for all the details I would have needed to figure out, even iwth Aysedasi's blog, is what put me off doing it for 2022. Flying from the US and figuring all that out just got overwhelming. In the future, I'll likely be less inclined but hopefully I can put a couple faces to names here and that will help in the future.
Thanks!
