We will attempt to notify participants of changes as far in advance as possible. Costs incurred by such changes will be the responsibility of the participants. Since we began the company in 1998 we haven’t had to make a significant trip change.

A surcharge may be applied to small groups.

Additional Disclosures

No partial refunds will be given for unused meals, hotel rooms, airport transfers, etc. for any reason whatsoever.
