so yes, a bus tour. every time the itinerary says "sightseeing tour", i think it means we drive through something on the bus and all look out the windows at it. but for my parents' first trip overseas this will be perfect and my mom won't have to obsess over all the travel details because they take care of all that. and i know for a fact that i won't be the only person under 40 on this trip--one of my mom's teacher friends from work and her husband signed up for the same trip and they're about my age. my mom is so excited about this trip that she hasn't slept for the past few nights, i think. my dad got an extra memory pack for his digital camera, so you can expect lots of pictures.
