Actual trip dates (for those trips identified as to be confirmed or TBD) will be finalized as soon as event dates are published. All travelers with ap-
plications on file will be called before reservations are secured. Actual trip dates will also be posted on our website as soon as they are finalized.
We strive to provide trips at the advertised price. Because we cannot anticipate when future expenses may be more than anticipated, prices are
subject to change in 2010 as actual costs are known.
**Indicates early deadlines. Contact our office if any application deadline has passed. Openings may still be available or an additional trip may
be scheduled if there is sufficient interest.
