Special Note: Based on the possibility of both currency fluctuations & additional fuel levies by the airlines, we reserve the right to re-quote on Jan. 15 & May 1 prior to the 2nd & 3rd payments falling due. All payments are 100% refundable for withdrawals due to a price increase. We do not expect a price increase, and will do all in our power to keep the price as is

For withdrawals prior to:
a) Time of Commitment & Feb. 1, 2012: 100% refundable
b) Between Feb. 2 – May 2: $500 non-refundable/remaining is refunded
c) May 3 – until departure: ZERO REFUNDABLE
Special Notes:
a) Travel insurance will likely cover you in the event of an unavoidable withdrawal from tour. Travel insurance IS NOT included in this package and is up to your discretion whether you chose to purchase it
b) All participants are REQUIRED to have medical insurance for this trip. Check with your regular provider as most companies do in fact cover you for international travel. If your provider does not cover you, it is necessary that you purchase medical insurance for the trip. When final payments are due participants you will need to provide us with a copy of your insurance policy details.
There are many companies that provide both travel and medical insurance but http://www.hthstudents.com is as good as any and better than most
