NOTES:
Travel insurance is MANDATORY and required to be purchased within 72 hours of signing up. Please email me proof of purchase. Please remember that you are required to carry covid specific insurance for this trip. Make sure you see it as a coverage when purchasing your travel insurance.
I will NOT be sharing hotel, tour company, etc. information. If you would like that type of information, I would like to suggest you opt for my travel planning services for a private trip instead. Sending out that type of information to everyone creates more work for me AND also takes away from the element of surprise that you get ONLY when you arrive at a new place WITHOUT having already googled it to death.
Bookings are NOT CONFIRMED until deposit has been paid, proof of insurance has been submitted to me AND Experience Waiver has been signed and returned.
You are 100% responsible to keep track of your payment amounts AND due dates. For those who opt for credit card payments, invoices will be sent to you ONE WEEK before the due date. It is up to you to pay it on time. Those paying with Zelle will not receive an invoice. If you fail to make payments on time, without prior authorization, you are willingly forfeiting your spot on this trip, without a refund on ANY paid to date payments. Late payments are NOT acceptable under ANY circumstances, without a prearranged agreement. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I will let you know when we have reached our 6 person minimum and this trip is an official GO, so you can purchase your international plane tickets. Feel free to ask me if you need help booking your flights, I am happy to help.
We will have 1 team zoom call prior to departure. On this call, you can pick my brain about anything, from vaccines, bug sprays, packing lists and more! You are also always welcome to email me any questions, at any time if you feel they are urgent. More details will go out about 1 month prior to departure to all registered guests. This covers all FAQ’s.
This trip can ONLY accommodate 10 guests MAX (including myself & my crew) – No exceptions. Once those 10 spots are filled, registration will close and the waitlist will open up.
Registration closes May 15th 2024 or whenever the available spaces fill up .
If you sign up after we have already gotten into the payment schedule, then you will need to pay your deposit, plus catch up on back payments as well. Feel free to ask if you need a little flexibility, I will accommodate you if possible.
I will be flying out of the Fresno airport, please email me if you want to know which flight I am on, to get an idea of flight prices.
I will do my best to room you with someone, If I am unable to do so, you will need to pay the single occupancy rate.
DISCLOSURE: This itinerary is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances such as unpredictable weather, global pandemics, tour company/hotel issues or errors or any other factors outside of my control. I always strive for the best possible experience and will substitute anything that must be changed with something equally or even more awesome!
