USAThe USA is a country of legends. Legendary scenery. Legendary cities. Legendary icons. But that’s not all. Cross the country and be awed by its staggering beauty and also by the contrast in culture. From the Southerner in the Deep South to the hip New Yorker, the diversity of its people, united only in name, highlights the many distinct regions to explore. From music to theme parks, celebrities to cowboys and skyscrapers to giant red woods, this is a country worth visiting.

REASONS to visit

THEME PARKS: Disneyland Park, Walt Disney World Resort, Gatorland, SeaWorld, Legoland, Universal Studios... the list goes on. In other words, more ‘lands’ and ‘worlds’ than you can poke a hotdog at. America knows about manufactured amusement, and if you’re travelling with a family, it’s worthwhile checking out at least one of the theme parks. The parks may be designed as a kid’s wonderland but they’re just as good at entertaining adults as well.

SHOPPING GALORE: If you’re arriving with the intention of filling an empty suitcase, you’ll be astounded by the variety of choice in the United States. From the vintage markets and design boutiques in Seattle, to the mega department stores and high-end labels of New York, there’s something to satisfy every budget and taste. Even the souvenir shops are world class!

MAGNIFICENT SCENERY: Grand canyons, endless prairies, snow-capped mountains, desert ranges and lush forests, this country has everything covered. You want a cactus forest? America will deliver. Of course the cities also have their fair share of beauty. The majestic San Francisco harbour, the sparkling Manhattan skyline, Chicago’s clean, green contours and Boston’s cobbled streets are all just as postcard perfect.

USA Given its size, it’s not surprising that in America you’re guaranteed to find a region that captivates you. You can trace the origins of blues, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, free your inner child at a theme park or simply shop til you drop. TV shows come to life in cities like LA and New York, while iconic drives take you to great canyons and magnificent national parks. From the cooler northern states to the warm south, the US of A will charm you at every turn.

6 — USA

More American than apple pie, these five experiences are a must for anyone wanting to truly understand the nation of French fries, rock ‘n’ roll and sweet southern hospitality.

Catch a yellow cab in New YorkThere are few things that say ‘New York’ more than an iconic yellow taxi, so don’t leave the Big Apple without hailing one.

Eat ribs in MemphisMemphis is the city known for ‘Elvis, blues and barbeque’, so it wouldn’t feel right to go home without devouring some tasty ‘wet’ or ‘dry’ ribs.

Boot scoot in TexasGrab your cowboy boots and go line dancing in Texas. Worried you’ve got two left feet? Plenty of places offer lessons and the Texans are famous for their friendly ‘Southern hospitality’.

Stop by a roadside dinerMake like Thelma and Louise and eat at a roadside diner on a road trip. There are plenty of highway diners set up for hungry drivers so go all out and order big.

Go rollerblading in MiamiThere’s few times in your life when rollerblading in minimal clothing is appropriate. A trip to Miami is one of them. So strip down, bronze up and go blading down Ocean Drive.

RELIVE HISTORY: A trip to a country with such a rich history wouldn’t be complete without a stop at some of its countless historical sites. Retrace the steps of American revolutionaries on the Freedom Trail in Boston, visit the hometown of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, pay tribute to the African-American Civil Rights Movement with a trip to Martin Luther King Jr.’s family home, and relive man’s first steps on the moon at the Kennedy Space Center.

ROAD TRIPS: As iconic as the Statue of Liberty is, the US road trip has featured in as many films and books. From the most famous of all, the historical Route 66 that once stretched from Chicago to Santa Monica to the Blues Highway that connects New Orleans with Wyoming to shorter drives through Monument Valley or along the Ocean Highway in Florida Keys, there is no shortage of spectacular drives that will take you across the heart of America.

America’s bestROAD TRIPSRain Man, Thelma & Louise, Little Miss Sunshine… American road trip films have made an indelible mark on pop culture history, so what better way to experience this spectacular, vast country than by emulating the adventures of the big screen? Load up the rental, brush up on your car games and hit the road for an unforgettable trip. To get you inspired, here are our three favourite road trips...

DISTANCE: 669 KILOMETRES

Jump on the Pacific Coast Highway in Los Angeles and drive the incredible coastal stretch of cliff-hugging road all the way to San Francisco. You’ll pass charming beach towns and state parks along the way. Watch the surfers catching waves in Malibu, stop at historic Hearst Castle on California’s Central Coast and visit Santa Barbara, where you might be lucky enough to see some whales.

PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY: LOS ANGELES TO SAN FRANCISCO


Head deep into the lush forestry and majestic mountains of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the road that connects Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Along the way, you’ll see incredible natural wonders like the Humpback Rocks, the Natural Bridge of Virginia and Blowing Rock, a cliff that’s over 1,300 metres above sea level!

BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY: VIRGINIA TO NORTH CAROLINA

ROUTE 66: ARIZONA


This famous road trip used to connect Chicago to Los Angeles via Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. It’s been removed from the US highway system, but road trippers can still follow the iconic route. See tumbleweeds roll past your car as you pass through quirky towns like Hackberry and Valentine. Don’t forget to stop at the Grand Canyon to explore.

Grand CanyonThe mother of all national parks, Grand Canyon National Park is breathtaking in its scale and beauty. Considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Canyon itself boasts a breathtaking array of rock landscapes, desert flora, pine forests and grasslands, but the heart and soul is of course the Colorado River, which winds its way through the Canyon.

Bryce CanyonHoodoos; tent rocks; fairy chimneys; earth pyramids. Call them what you will, they’re strikingly beautiful, and abundant in south western Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park. Loved by photographers and geology enthusiasts alike, the park features a veritable forest of these curious red rock formations.

ZionAn enchanting beauty, the landscape of southern Utah’s Zion National Park is awe-inspiring. Soaring red and cream cliffs, emerald grottos and lush meadows combine to magical effect. Hike through one of Zion’s storied trails and know you’ll be walking in the footsteps of ancient natives.

Must‑visit NATIONAL PARKS

LAS VEGASWelcome to fabulous Las Vegas – land of excess. Where Cleopatra dines with Elvis Presley and dazzling showgirls dance under the Eiffel Tower to the click of tourist cameras. One thing is for sure: everyone’s here to have a good time. From lavish casinos and America’s own Ancient Rome, to the sense-smacking colours and sounds of The Strip, you’re in for the ride of your life. So bask in the bright lights, mingle with the high rollers, or get married at the Graceland Chapel. This is a 24-hour city, so you may as well pack in as much as possible.

TIP:Staff

“Look out for half price tickets at the discount ticket booths along the Vegas strip and save up to 50% on shows and concerts. If

visiting during peak time though, make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment.”

Janelle Concert goer

• Head to the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace and request a seat on the patio at Spago for some good old fashioned people watching.

• Not a blackjack wizard? Most casinos offer lessons for the unseasoned gambler.

• Check out the volcano at The Mirage Hotel and Casino, the original free spectacle that spits fireballs and flames into the air up to 50 feet high. Erupting on the hour between dusk and 11pm, more than 600 lights and a 135,000-watt sound system completes the display.

• Pack like a pro. Vegas can reach scorching temperatures during the day but can also dip near the freezing mark at night. Don’t forget a jacket.

• KIDS WILL LOVE: Admiring the fountains at the Bellagio. One of the best free attractions on the Strip, they will marvel at the music choreographed water show.

LOCAL tips

• Take an audio tour of the USS Midway Museum. It’s a real aircraft carrier with fighter planes aboard and is a must visit even if you’re not much of a military buff.

• Soar over the coastline with a tandem flight at Torrey Pines Glideport. Not game? Spectators can lunch at the Cliffhanger Café.

• Check out the spectacular setting of La Jolla Cove. It’s known as the ‘jewel’ of San Diego. Stay for a sunset and you’ll soon realise why.

• Pack a picnic and head to Balboa Park on Sundays for a free concert, with guest performers scheduled at least once a month.

• KIDS WILL LOVE: The San Diego Zoo. The Children’s Zoo section features petting areas, nursing rooms for baby animals and an otter grotto.

Nowhere does serenity quite like San Diego. Known for its mild weather and character, this is the perfect holiday destination for doing, well, nothing at all. Winter is basically non-existent, so this city is all about sun, sand, waves and good times. And when you have sufficiently ‘chilled’, there are plenty of galleries, restaurants and recreational activities to explore. From hang gliding over spectacular coastal cliffs to lazy brunches in the sunshine at La Jolla – there’s something to cater for every traveller’s taste.

SAN FRANCISCOAh, San Francisco. That majestic City by the Bay, a collection of neighbourhoods and microclimates so diverse you’ll be forgiven for thinking you have stepped into another time, place and season from one block to the next. Built on 48 hills, San Francisco’s crooked streets and contours are as seductive as its technological smarts. And with all those charming wharves and beatnik boroughs, it’s easy to see why locals still call theirs the Golden City.

TIP:Staff

“The Ferry Building Farmers Markets in San Francisco

are awesome. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday mornings you can grab some breaky and stroll

around chatting to the local stallholders. Lots of chefs buy their produce there.”

Alison Artisan

• The Japanese Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park are especially beautiful during the spring, try to get there for cherry blossom season.

• Head to infamous Alcatraz first thing in the morning when it’s least busy, and then head to Fisherman’s Wharf for a seafood lunch.

• On a clear day, make your way up to Twin Peaks at dusk for panoramic views of the city. Take a jacket, it can be quite windy.

• A drive down Lombard Street, one the most crooked streets in the world. You’ll drive past beautiful Victorian mansions and some of San Francisco’s most expensive real estate. In spring and summer, the street is alive with the colour from flowers in bloom.

• KIDS WILL LOVE: The Golden Gate Park Children’s Playground, featuring a carousel, sand pit and swings.

THINGS to do

In a place that’s often referred to as ‘the world’s best city’, it’s difficult to nominate just five great activities but somehow we narrowed it down for you. Here are a selection we know you’ll love.

in San FranciscoOUR TOP 5

1. Total Yosemite ExperienceThis one day combination of Yosemite National Park and the Giant Sequoia tree tour from San Francisco is a great way to get the most out of your national park experience. Begin with the Yosemite Valley leg, where you're likely to stop and admire El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls, Inspiration Point and Yosemite Village. Unlike most tours, you'll also have the chance to drive to a higher altitude and a lesser-travelled part of Yosemite National Park. Relish the chance to hike in the evergreen forest where you'll marvel at a grove of Giant Sequoia trees, the world's largest living things!

2. Muir Woods Tour Experience Muir Woods at your own pace on this relaxing and flexible tour. You’ll wander the trails in this serene forest teeming with gigantic Coastal Redwood trees, and check out the Visitor Centre to learn more about the area’s history. En route back to San Francisco, you’ll stopover in the quaint Mediterranean-style village of Sausalito. Here, take the opportunity to hop off and enjoy a delightful array of restaurants, galleries and walking paths, plus spectacular bay and city views.

3. Bike The Golden Gate TourTake in the city's sights on this beautiful bicycle ride on the Bay Trail over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. A relatively easy cycle, the terrain is mainly flat with only two to three moderate hill climbs (and the last mile is downhill!). Sights of interest include Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, Fort Mason, Marina Green, Palace of Fine Arts, Alcatraz, and more. An experienced tour guide will share fun and interesting anecdotes about each sight, before your tour ends in sunny Sausalito. Riders can then catch a ferry back to San Francisco (with an extra fee) or cycle back at their leisure.

4. 4‑in‑1 Hop‑on Hop‑off + Alcatraz This three day Hop-On Hop-Off Pass gives you access to four diverse tours on one incredible value ticket. Take the opportunity to explore Downtown San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito, Golden Gate Park and the Pacific Ocean, plus the infamous Alcatraz prison, with unlimited hop-on hop-off use for 72 hours. And the best part? You can hop on and off the bus at any designated City Sightseeing stops to explore at your own pace.

5. California Sunset Cruise Prepare for some of the greatest views of San Francisco Bay on this relaxed sunset cruise. Cruise past the infamous island of Alcatraz, around Angel Island National Park, under the majestic span of the Golden Gate, and along the beautiful shorelines of Tiburon and Sausalito, as the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean. Along the two hour excursion, share drinks and a meal with friends while taking in the incredible views to live guitar music.

TIP:Staff

“Don’t miss dining like a local on some true New York Italian

cuisine. Lunch at the extravagant antipasto bar at Trattoria Dell’Arte, then move on to

dinner at Del Posto for a five (or eight) course degustation

with matching wines.”

Maureen Gourmand

• A stroll along the Chelsea High Line is a highlight. It’s a mile-long park built on an old elevated railroad. Food lovers will enjoy the nearby Chelsea Markets.

• If you want to hear some Jazz, check out Mona’s, a great little dive bar in the East Village. Head there on a Tuesday for the ragtime jam session.

• If the chaotic energy is all too much, spend an afternoon in Central Park. The scenery alone is breathtaking. While you are there, take a romantic paddle around the lake and when you’re finished, sample some tasty crab cakes at the Central Park Boathouse Restaurant.

• Head to the NBC Studios at Rockefeller Center and try your luck at nabbing some free tickets to Jimmy Fallon’s monologue rehearsal for The Tonight Show. You can secure tickets online, but often just turning up is enough.

• KIDS WILL LOVE: Visiting M&M’s World in Times Square. Be prepared to walk away with an armful of delicious merchandise and fun treats.

LOCAL tips

• Often cited as the most beautiful building in D.C., the Library of Congress boasts some pretty spectacular architecture, not to mention more than 115 million items.

• Cycle or walk along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and take in the scenery. The canal actually runs for almost 300 kilometres so pay attention or you could wind up interstate.

• Feel the rush of a 747 flying right over your head at Gravelly Point, a local favourite spot for plane watching.

• Join a White House tour and gain access to the world’s most important residence. You’ll need to book no less than 21 days before your trip, but it’s well worth the planning.

• KIDS WILL LOVE: The National Museum of Natural History. Watch the little ones enjoy examining a wide variety of artifacts including a 25-metre dinosaur skeleton and an enormous prehistoric white shark.

Marble, museums and memorials: three things you’ll find plenty of in America’s great capital. From the Smithsonian to the National Mall, never has so much culture and history been packed into one little city. But there are two sides to this aesthetic and intellectual beauty. From the manicured lawns of Capitol Hill to the Ethiopian eating houses of the Northwest quadrant, Washington D.C. is a city of contrast, and it’s certainly worth leaving the museum trail to explore some of the city’s real personality.

THE DEEP SOUTH


The complex history and heritage of the Deep South makes for a fascinating road trip. Comprising of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tenessee and Texas, this cultural and geographic region in the South of America offers a different experience to its East and West Coast counterparts. Visit Elvis’s Graceland or the mansions of Savannah, listen to the sounds of jazz in New Orleans or country in Nashville and sample spicy Cajun cuisine on route to the cowboy country of Texas. There’s enough to keep you busy for weeks.

78 — USA

Our Top 4 DEEP SOUTH ROAD TRIPS AMERICAN RHYTHMSNEW ORLEANS, BIRMINGHAM, NASHVILLE AND MEMPHIS

Visit New Orleans, one of the most exotic cities in the world, famous for jazz, Creole cooking and a seemingly endless parade of festivals. From New Orleans drive north through Mississippi and the highlands of Alabama to Birmingham. From here, your journey will take you to Nashville, Music City USA, and then onto Memphis, famous for Beale Street and of course the ’King’ himself, Elvis Presley.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DEEP SOUTHCHARLESTON, SAVANNAH, ATLANTA, NASHVILLE, MEMPHIS AND NEW ORLEANS

Experience colonial estates, Cajun cuisine, country music, whiskey and fun. View the historic houses in Charleston; explore the dark and mysterious side of Savannah; get into the country music groove in Nashville; learn about the Blues in Memphis; eat Cajun delicacies and party on Bourbon Street. There aren’t many places in the US – or the world, frankly – that can match the Deep South for charm, character and quirkiness.

BLUES HIGHWAY 61 ROAD TRIPNASHVILLE, MEMPHIS, TUNICA AND NEW ORLEANS

The legendary Blues Highway, U.S. Route 61, is an unforgettable journey from Nashville, Tennessee to New Orleans, Louisiana, with music around every corner. From the birthplaces of celebrated artists and vinyl record shops to recording venues and southern culinary delights, every stop has a story to tell. What to bring: a harmonica to play along with the blues, your favourite playlists and an appetite for southern culinary delights.

GRAND TEXAS TRAILSDALLAS, AUSTIN, HOUSTON, SAN ANTONIO AND FORT WORTH

Texas is more than just cowboy country. If you’ve ever wanted to visit the Deep South and the American Southwest, but don’t have time to do both trips – head to Texas. Texas celebrates its heritage in small towns and authentic historic districts that have been carefully restored. Dallas and Houston are both sophisticated cities, grown rich from the spoils of the oil industry. Austin is known as the gateway to Texas Hill Country, the capital of Texas and an arts and cultural centre. San Antonio is home of the famous Alamo and finally Fort Worth, the “City of Cowboys and Culture”, where America’s Western heritage is showcased everywhere you go.

Hire a car, open your map and immerse yourself in the rhythm, cuisine and stories of this scenic heartland of American culture.

The www.creativeholidays.com website (the “Site”) is owned and operated by Creative Tours Pty Ltd (ABN 23 003 286 459) trading as Creative Holidays. In these booking terms and conditions the expressions “Company”, “Creative Tours”, “Creative Holidays”, “we”, “our” or “us” include Creative Tours Pty Ltd and entities that assist or participate with Creative Tours Pty Ltd in the provision of the services it agrees to provide (where the context permits, including its and their employees and agents) and the expressions “you”, “your”, “client” or the “passenger” include a person seeking or requiring the services offered by Creative Tours, all other persons (if any) included with that person in the booking and that person’s or those persons’ travel agent (if any).

TRAVEL PRODUCTS AND AVAILABILITYCreative Tours arranges bookings, ticketing and other ancillary services of and related to travel and accommodation including but not limited to, air travel, transfers, car hire and leisure activities (“Travel Products”). Creative Tours is neither a common carrier nor a private carrier, and does not itself provide any of the Travel Products described in its brochures or on the Site. Creative Tours acts as your agent in making the arrangements with third party suppliers, who provide the Travel Products to you as principals (“Suppliers”), and is not the agent of any such Supplier.

By booking any Travel Products, you (if booking directly or through a travel agent) and your travel agent on your behalf (if booking through a travel agent) acknowledge and confirm that you have read our booking terms and conditions, that you accept them without reservation as constituting the entire agreement between you and us which cannot be varied other than by an officer of the Company in writing.

Bookings of all Travel Products we arrange are provided by Suppliers we believe to be reputable and to operate in accordance with the standards set down by their own local authorities. Those Travel Products are provided subject to those Suppliers’ terms, conditions and limitations (some of which may exclude or limit liability in respect of death, injury, delay, loss or damage to person and/or effects) and we accept no responsibility for them nor do we make or give any warranty or representation as to their standard, quality or fitness for any particular purpose. Any legal recourse you may have in respect of those Travel Products is against those Suppliers and not against us.

We recommend all passengers take out adequate travel insurance for the duration of their travel.

All Travel Products shown in our brochures and on the Site may be booked, subject to availability at the time of booking.

QUOTES AND PRICESWe endeavour to ensure the accuracy and currency of all prices displayed in our brochures and on the Site. Prices are:

• specified in the currency stated in the brochure or on the relevant page of the Site (generally either in Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars) and are subject to change without notice;

• indicative only and subject to change until all of your booking details have been provided to us and we have confirmed your booking; and

• for the number of persons or items on the conditions stated in the brochure or on the relevant page of the Site, including but not limited to any hover box.

“From” Prices: The expression “from” with respect to a price means the lowest price for the Travel Product we believe is available at the time of publication, based on information we have received from Suppliers.

Itineraries and Quotes: You may build an itinerary on the Site and obtain a quote from the Site or by contacting our Call Centre or through a travel agent. Any quote is an estimate only of the current price and subject to change until a booking is confirmed and you receive a unique Creative Tours booking number or, if a quote for an airfare, until it is paid and ticketed. Payment terms are subject to individual Supplier requirements and will be advised at the time of booking.

Taxes, Charges and Currency Fluctuation: Government taxes and charges imposed by Suppliers or third parties (including ticketing fees and airline fuel surcharges) are subject to change. If there are any increases in such taxes, charges or Supplier rates or any currency fluctuation which increase the price of your booking, we reserve the right to change the price you must pay by including the additional charges or amount (together with any applicable service fee and GST) at any time prior to and including the date of your departure, even if we have received full payment from you.

We will notify you of any such price changes that result in your travel arrangements being materially different from those prior to the change being effected and in respect of which we have already accepted your deposit or full payment. If so, and you do not wish to alter your travel arrangements, you may cancel them and monies you have already paid, less any charges levied by Suppliers, will be refunded. Any refund will be calculated at the currency exchange rate that applied when the booking was confirmed.

Errors: We reserve the right to correct any errors in fees, charges, rates or prices quoted or billed, even if we have received full payment from you.

You must pay us an amendment fee of $55 for each amendment, being a genuine pre estimate of the reasonable cost of administrative expenses we incur in amending the booking.

Refunds: After your travel has commenced, there can be no refund in respect of any Travel Products not utilised whether by choice or because of late arrival or early departure, including failure of any transport to operate according to schedule. Employees of any Supplier are not authorised by us to give any undertakings in respect of refunds or other matters.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITIESWe arrange the provision of Travel Products which are provided by Suppliers. We do not ourselves provide the Travel Products you may receive on your holiday.

Suppliers Terms and Conditions: Supply of the Travel Products is made, and all itineraries, coupons and exchange orders (collectively “vouchers”) are issued to you, upon the Supplier’s terms and conditions that are then in use, including as to the applicable laws, requirements and policies of any government authority related to, among others, visas, entry, exit or transfer requirements. Your acceptance of the vouchers constitutes those terms and conditions as the entire agreement between you and the relevant Supplier and you bear all costs or losses incurred as a consequence of your failure to comply with them.

Exclusion of Liability: In the absence of our negligence, we are not liable for any cancellations, diversions, substitution of equipment, variations, postponements or any other act, omission or default (whether negligent or otherwise) of any Supplier nor are we liable for any loss or damage to baggage or property, injury, illness or death, or any other loss (including consequential loss) damage or claim whatsoever arising from the act, error, omission, default or negligence of any person not our direct employee or under our exclusive control.

We are not responsible for any criminal conduct of any third party.

Where a motor coach seat is fitted with a safety belt, neither we nor any Supplier concerned will be liable for death, injury, or any loss or damage whatsoever you suffer from any accident or incident if you are not wearing the safety belt at the time of such accident or incident.

We are not liable for any injury, damage, loss, delay, additional expenses or inconvenience caused by your acts, omissions or defaults, your state of health, medical condition or circumstances or other reasons which are beyond our control, including force majeure events or failure of equipment or machinery.

Warranties: To the extent permitted by law, all express and implied warranties, guarantees, representations or terms are expressly excluded.

Where the law implies any warranty guarantee or condition which cannot be excluded, our liability to you for breach thereof is limited to supplying the services again or payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

Maximum Liability: Despite any other provision of these terms and conditions, to the extent permitted by law, our maximum liability to you or any third party is limited to the price you have paid us for the booking.

Holiday Variations: We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule departures and itineraries if required by circumstances beyond our control. Where it is necessary to change a hotel we will endeavour to substitute accommodation of no lesser standard.

Insurance: We recommend you purchase travel insurance against forfeiture of payment, loss of deposits, cancellation charges, baggage loss, medical expenses, theft and other contingencies. We make no representations as to what you may recover under any insurance. You agree not to hold us responsible for any decision of insurers, and/or any Supplier, or the requirements of any foreign government authority, foreign law or policy.

Passport Checks: You must ensure names used to make a booking are exactly as appear in passports. Any name/initial or spelling changes made after booking confirmation may result in Supplier imposed fees and/or you being unable to travel.

Passports, Visa, Vaccinations and Baggage: A visa does not guarantee you entry to, or permission to remain in, a country. Some countries may refuse entry or may detain, expel or repatriate you because of your state of health, medical condition or other reasons. You are responsible for all visas, entry, health and other requirements and all documents required by the laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of countries you intend to visit. You should check the requirements of those countries with their embassies or consulates or other authorities.

We accept no responsibility if you are refused entry into any country you intend to visit and you release us from all damages, expenses, costs, liabilities or loss you incur in relation to such matters.

To ensure the safety of yourself and others, it may be necessary for us to disclose details of your health or medical condition to Suppliers. You authorise us to make such disclosure and you agree that our doing so is not a breach of confidence or duty and that you will not hold us liable in tort, in contract or under any privacy or anti-discrimination laws.
