Refunds under 10.00 will not be made. In the event there is a negative balance after the trip — all participants will be required to share in that cost.  Availability of lodging and transportation etc. may change due to circumstances out of our control. Every effort will be made to notify attendees as soon as possible and a suitable alternative will be utilized.
