We are beginning the planning for this trip at this time because the earlier we book the lower the costs will be. This will also give more time to by payment plan options.<br /><br />We are currently considering two options for the trip (we may be able to do both):<br />Option 1 – 8 days: Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka – approximate cost $3200<br />Option 2 – 10 days: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima – approximate cost $3700<br /><br />Thes prices are all-inclusive (airfare, hotels, most meals, and other travel)<br /><br />If we book our trip by December 1, 2008 we will keep the costs down. Payment plans can be arranged with the tour company so that travelers can pay on a pay per month basis.<br /><br />We will be having a second meeting on Thursday, Nov. 6th to see if we have enough interest and book the tour.<br /><br />To look at details and sign up for the tour, <a href="http://www.myexplorica.com/TourCenter/Summary?tourCenterCode=Folmer-967">CLICK HERE</a>Ryan Folmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02981661631553046474noreply@blogger.com0
