Thank you in advance for being on time with your payment!
There will be one final payment made - to complete the balance due - on April 6th. On our about April 1st, we will contact families with the confirmed final tour price. There are several variables that are at play. The exchange rate (with a dollar that is stronger now than when the tour was quoted initially) is in our favor. However, the European Union has leveraged a substantial new 'carbon tax' on all airlines with inbound planes from foreign countries.

These taxes are predicted to eradicate much - if not all - of any gains we should be seeing with a stronger dollar.
Our travel agency has advised us that they do not expect our tour costs will go higher than what was originally quoted. Again, as we get closer to April 1, we will keep you informed.
