TOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Early Bird Specials
The deadline for the early bird special is less than one month away! Those
passengers that pay their $100 deposit before labor day (September 3, 2001) will
receive a $100 discount towards the purchase of their trip. Think of it,
as getting the deposit for free. If you cannot make the Labor Day
deadline, you can still register before Thanksgiving Day (November 22, 2001) to
receive a $50 discount. Already over 20 passengers have taken advantage
of the early bird special to register.

TRAVEL TIP:
Keep your clothing receipts
Sometimes (it recently happened to me) an airline can loose your suitcase.
If that were to happened the airlines have strict rules of what they will reimburse
and what they will not. Basically, they only pay for clothes. They
do not pay for electronic equipment, jewelry, medications or anything else of
value. Thus, the best way to get any money back from the airline is to
show them clothing receipts.
NEWS: Free
Night in a Castle in Scotland is now Taken
