PRE-TRIP INFORMATION

Tour Documents: All tour documentation will be mailed to you approximately 10 days prior to your tour departure date. However, due to unpredictable circumstances (i.e. weather, cancellations, or traffic), times or events might need to be changed or modified. Your Driver and Escort will work together to make this experience as pleasant as possible.

Passports: On June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI., which require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports-of-entry to have a Passport, Passport Card, or WHTI-compliant document.

Passport Cards: This card facilitates entry and expedites document processing at U.S. land and sea ports-of-entry when arriving from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. The card may not be used to travel by air. Otherwise, it carries the rights and privileges of the U.S. passport book and is adjudi cated to the exact same standards. Adults who already have a fully valid passport book may apply for the card as a passport renewal and pay only $20. First-time applicants pay $45 for adult cards and $35 for children. Contact: www.usa.gov or 1-800-688-9889.

Hotel Rooms for Smokers: If you desire a smoking room, please request it when booking a tour and we will make every effort to secure one for you. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of a smoking room.

All seating requests will be honored in the order final payment was received. When mul tiple buses are assigned to a tour, the seat assignments will still be determined by the date of full payment. However, there may be a delay until Administration assigns the pickup locations to the buses. Since seat assignments make it easier for the Escort to keep track of passengers and assure everyone is accounted for after each stop, we ask that you do not change seats. If you do see a seat open that is more desirable, please let your Escort know you would like to move before moving. We are unable to reserve sections of the coach for special needs such as motion sickness. If you have motion sickness, it is best to check with your doctor for advice prior to the trip.
