Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Overall Rating:
My husband and were 1st time travelers with Tauck. In previous years, I have traveled to 36 countries. I enjoyed Mark, our tour guide more than anyone previously!! If I could add anything to the trip, it would be more on the farm experience with the Amish. I heard this comment from some of the other travelers also. Excellent overall ratings!!!!
Gettysburg. It was so moving and I learned a lot about this famous war.
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Definitely
John Reiss
If you are looking for a trip that goes back to the beginning of this great nation and steps you through time to understand the battles that have been won to bring us to this moment in time, then this is the trip for you. Our guide, Mark was a wealth of information and made this trip a memorable one.
We so enjoyed the tour of the battlefields at Gettysburg. You really have to be there with a knowledgable guide, and we had I think one of the best, James Cole. He truly enabled you to vision the battles that took place there. What a memorable experience!
I was amazed at how wonderful the Tauck travel experience was. It was my first time, and even though I knew they would take care of everything once I got to Philadelphia, it was still a wonderful surprise how well I was treated. I had wanted a trip that would show me the history of our country, and Tauck certainly delivered in a big way.
Standing on Little Round Top in Gettysburg. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is a hero of mine!
Every day of the trip was interesting, educational, fun, and enjoyable. Making new friends with fellow travelers was a blessing. Gloria was a superb Tauck tour director and Rychard was an excellent driver. All our accommodations were great, as were the meals and the pace of the trip.
I feel like I just completed an American History course!
There were so many wonderful sites that it's difficult to choose, but I especially enjoyed riding through the Amish countryside. I enjoyed the meal there also.
The dinner at Caroline's Tavern in Williamsburg was one of the most entertaining and fun evenings, plus a delicious meal.
We had no idea how interesting our trip would be so much history in a small area. Beth our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept us moving from one story to another. As usual the rooms and service at the Hotels were great. We enjoyed the variety of food and places to eat. There was also just enough fee time to see things on own.
The most memorable moment for us had to be when we totally surprised a couple the first night at the reception. We have been traveling with Bill and Carol for over ten years but this time they did not know we were going to be there. They walked down the hall and there we were. So being with them all week made the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks
We are so pleased you enjoyed your journey! What a great surprise to meet up with your friends!
-The Tauck Guest Relations Team
As usual, Tauck always delivers. We booked this trip because we wanted to go to the historical sites of the Civil War, and experience some of our nations history. Beginning in Philadelphia, and taking us to Gettysburg, Amish Country, Williamsburg, and Washington, DC. All were very exciting to experience. Our tour director was wonderful.
That is easy for us......no question, Gettysburg. To see and hear what happened there during the days of the Civil War were very emotional for us.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and we are very pleased to learn your experinece was a memorable one!
Aussie mate
This tour was good, it covers a far bit of the Civil war period, the stories our tour director Mark told were very interesting, ( true of course) There is some time spent out in the Amish country side. This tour is about the beginnings of the USA in its darker times, very interesting for people from other counties.
On this tour we thought it all faired well, the accommodation was good all round our tour guide was helpful, a very good tour.

Juvenile: spotted buff above, dark gray-brown below, with white throat; some older immatures distinguishable by presence of retained juvenal wing coverts with buffy shaft streak.
Geographic Variation Six subspecies, some of questionable validity; subspecific identification in field problematic due to slight differences and individual variation. Olive-backed group: widespread swainsoni described; appalachiensis upperparts slightly darker and same color as uppertail coverts; incanus of western Alaska to northern British Columbia and north-central Alberta has upperparts paler and grayer, underparts whiter, and chest spotting nearly black. Russet-backed group: Northwestern coastal ustulatus (southeastern Alaska to northwestern California) and phillipsi (Queen Charlotte Islands) upperparts brown, tinged reddish, with breast washed brownish with indistinct spots, and flanks warm brown; and oedicus of rest of California paler brown above with almost no reddish tinge; eye rings of western subspecies usually thinner, sometimes less buffy.
Similar Species Russet-backed subspecies is regularly confused with western salicicola Veery, but note differences in breast spotting, flank color, and facial pattern.
Voice Call: russet-backed gives a liquid dwip, olive-backed a sharper quirt; also a rough, nasal chatter introduced by call note. Flight note: clear, spring peeper-like queep. Song: flutelike, similar to Veery in spiraling pattern, but spiraling upward.
Status and Distribution Common, but in West restricted by limited suitable habitat. Breeding: mostly in deciduous and/or mixed forest; birds in western U.S. primarily nest in riparian habitat with combination of shrubby willow understory and deciduous or coniferous overstory. Migration: olive-backed group are trans-Gulf migrants; russet-backed birds migrate along Pacific coast and California deserts. Peaks on Gulf Coast ±25 April, southern Great Lakes ±15 May; arrival in montane Wyoming breeding areas ±25 May; spring migration continues into early June as far south as Kansas. In fall, most migrate September–mid-October, arrival on Colorado plains ±25 August. Russet-backed winters from western Mexico to Panama; olive-backed birds winter in South America. Vagrant: casual to accidental to northern Alaska and Northwest Territories; casual to Europe.
Population Like other brown thrushes, forest fragmentation may negatively impact populations.

Enriched with cutting-edge CGI graphics which create detailed contour maps of the battleground, THE LOST EVIDENCE® sheds new light on some of WWII's most important engagements.
Eleven months before D-Day, the Allies launched an unprecedented assault on Axis-controlled European territory. The target was the strategically vital Mediterranean island of Sicily and many of the Allied soldiers storming her shores were seeing combat for the first time. This was a true trial by fire. Success meant breaking Mussolini and weakening Hitler. Failure was unthinkable.
THE HISTORY CHANNEL® presents the Invasion of Sicily with all the vividness and exacting detail that 21st century computer renderings and rare archival materials can conjure.
LOST EVIDENCE: SICILY is a masterful retelling of a classic, world-changing campaign.

Women's Tartan Flannel Cabin Nightgown
Women's Tartan Flannel Cabin Nightgown
Tartan Flannel Cabin Nightgown 12 12
Love it! I love flannel nightgowns and have never spent the money for good ones. I bought two of these and after reading the reviews, I bought them in large because I read they would shrink. I am typically a medium. As soon as I received these, I washed and dried them. Now they are the PERFECT size, so I suggest you order one size up. They are comfortable, cozy and SO worth the money. I will buy more in the future. LOVE THEM. February 22, 2014
Shrinkage! Liked the shirt. Bought the largest size because I expected some shrinking, and, I like my nightshirts roomy. The "neckline" is not comfortable because it tends to "sag" towards the back. Have to make sure I pull the whole shirt down considerably before sitting or laying down. It did shrink much more than expected, although washed in cold water and dried on the lowest (delicate) setting. Even with these drawbacks it is a nice warm shirt, but, I will not buy another one. January 28, 2014
Comfy but shrank a lot I bought this gown for myself this year. It is soft and warm and not too heavy. I expected it would not be long enough for me (I am 5'11" and nightgowns never are) but I did not expect it to shrink as much as it did when I washed it. It went from almost ankle-length to mid-shin. It is very comfortable and I enjoy wearing it but I advise anyone buying it to get a bigger size than you think you'll need because it will shrink quite a lot when washed. January 9, 2014
Warm, Well-Made, Beautiful Gown I needed a warm gown for a Christmas gift for my Wife, who needed something warm and, of course, pretty. We live in a 100-year old 2-story farm house that can be hard to heat. Warm sleepwear is a must at our age (68) and this fills the bill nicely! December 30, 2013
Love it! My daughter who begged me not to spend so much money on a nightgown, LOVES it as I knew she would. Has now ordered 2 or 3 more for herself !!! She dried it and it shrank though, and I am not happy with that. December 15, 2013
loved the feel This was just what I was looking for. Comfort! Comfort! comfort!!! hooray!! March 19, 2013
love the style I found it shrunk alot, but i still wear it. I wished it came in other colors & a cotton knit because I would have a dozen . March 17, 2013
Perfect winter lounger! Last year I purchased the Tartan lounger and found it perfect for winter nights. The 3/4 length sleeves keep me from pushing them up and the length is perfect for my height (5/4") without tripping on it. The flannel weight is not so heavy that it gets too warm but feels cozy enough to wear without needing a robe. I also love the fact that it also has convenient pockets. I'm ordering a new one today, just to have a spare! February 4, 2013

REGARD: Victorian Acrostic Ring
Not only flowers have been used as a "secret" or silent language to communicate messages; gemstones as well have represented communiqués meant only for the wearer and sender. This type of jewelry is known as acrostic as the first letters of specifically selected gems "spell" out a saying, a wish or a greeting. Acrostic jewelry is thought to have begun in France during the late 18th to early 19th century and became exceedingly popular in the Victorian era when formalized rules of etiquette were in place.
This particular example is often referred to as a "REGARD" ring as the first letter of each stone spells in combination Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby and Diamond. The 15k yellow gold acrostic ring circa 1879 boasts an extremely handsome mount and the entire shank is chased. In addition, the claw set gems are bounded by twisted wire trim.
Measurements: Just shy of 1/4 of an inch (0.6 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.4 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 1.5 grams (1.0 dwt).
Ring Size: US 5 (UK J-1/2; Int. Dia. 15.75; Euro 49.5 mm; Japan 9) and can be easily sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: English hallmarks for 15k, Birmingham (England) and a date letter "e" for 1879.
Condition: Very good; evidence of old resizing visible on interior; twisted wire trim to the top beside the gem area missing in part on both sides (see photographs); light wear and a few tiny surface scratches to the gems visible with a loupe.
Date & Origin: Circa 1879 and is English in origin.
