    Oh my word...I would not be willing to sleep on a sofa bed! Nice that you had your own bathrooms though.

    A friend and I travel together on Road Scholar trips but we each reserve a single room. We each live alone at home and are used to our privacy and space. While on the trip, we do many things together within the group and during free time during the day and even get together in one of our rooms for a pre-dinner cocktail at times, but each of us also enjoys a few hours on our own and space enough to spread out. And I am really not at all interested in rooming with a stranger. I think that having a single room is worth the extra money for a land tour. It is considerably more expensive to room by yourself on a cruise, but I am not a fan of cruises so I don't worry about that.
