We do recommend that you call our office at 1-800-333-1240 before signing up for a trip.

We do feel it is important that you have as much relevant information as possible and that you are well-prepared with a realistic set of expectations before making your final decision to join one of our very unique programs.

Once you receive the application packet, please read the Terms and Conditions very carefully so that you are familiar with our cancellation policies. Once you have done this, complete the application form and return it to us with a deposit check for $200 for each traveler. Please note that we do NOT accept credit cards as a form of payment.
