What’s the hotel rooming situation?
This varies depending where the Red Tour stays. The rooming assignments will all be set up by the AMA home office before the tour leaves, and the staff will receive a packet showing how the rooms are organized at each stop on the Tour. You’ll generally be with the same roommate for much of the Tour, sometimes you’ll be in pairs, while other times there will be 3 to 6 in a room. The hotels are often very different from here in the in the USA, and from each other. We’ll stay in great hotels the entire time, but some of them (like in Dinkelsbuhl) might have been built more than 500 years ago!! Some aspects of hotel stays are very different: Elevators (they’re small), showers (some have no curtain!), room keys (you’ll often have to turn them TWICE all the way around), windows & doors (there are no screens … but then there are almost no insects!), and even the way the floors are numbered (the “Lobby” is often on the 2nd floor!)
