Sandra, look at his TA profile. He seems legit to me. OP, more detail about what you saw, did, ate, etc., as well as the good, the bad and the ugly, would be really helpful to me and future travelers.

I'm planning another trip to SL, for about 5 weeks in the NY, the last one in 2006.
This aint helpful to me either as its most likely an organised tour - hence the daft price - no info on accommodation costs or transport - pity - suppose it could be clumsy spam.
