I will reply within 24 hours with zelle or credit card invoice. Please note that credit cards are subject to a 5% service fee but Zelle has no fees.

ADDITIONAL TRIP NOTES:
Travel insurance. I always require travel insurance to protect your investment, “just in case”.
Transportation of any kind is not included. We will be meeting in Northern California for the trip start. I recommend driving here if you live in California or a neighboring state. If you live farther, you can fly into Fresno, Sacramento, San Francisco or Oakland and rent a car to meet us at the starting point. If you are coming from Central California, you are welcome to road trip with us from there, for the start and end of the trip.
I will NOT be sharing hotel, tour company, etc. information. If you would like that type of information, I would like to suggest you opt for my travel planning services for a private trip instead. Sending out that type of information to everyone creates more work for me AND also takes away from the element of surprise that you get ONLY when you arrive at a new place WITHOUT having already googled it to death.
Bookings are NOT CONFIRMED until deposit has been paid AND Experience Waiver has been signed and returned.
You are 100% responsible to keep track of your payment amounts AND due dates. For those who opt for credit card payments, invoices will be sent to you ONE WEEK before the due date. It is up to you to pay it on time. Those paying with Zelle will not receive an invoice. If you fail to make payments on time, without prior authorization, you are willingly forfeiting your spot on this trip, without a refund on ANY paid to date payments. Late payments are NOT acceptable under ANY circumstances, without a prearranged agreement. NO EXCEPTIONS.
This trip can ONLY accommodate 8 guests MAX (including myself and my guest) – No exceptions. Once those 8 spots are gone, registration will close and the waitlist will open up.
I will let you know when we have reached our 8 person minimum and this trip is an official GO.
We will have 1 team zoom call prior to departure. On these calls, you can pick my brain about anything, from bug sprays to packing lists and everything in between! You are also always welcome to email me any questions, at any time if you feel they are urgent. I will create a “group email” once I have all 4 people signed up and I ask that you send questions to the whole group, to make sure I don’t get duplicate questions. :) More details will go out about 1 month prior to departure to all registered guests. This covers all FAQ’s.
If you sign up after we have already gotten into the payment schedule, then you will need to pay your deposit, plus catch up on back payments as well. Feel free to ask if you need a little flexibility, I will accommodate you if possible.
If you can not attend for the the entire duration of the trip, full payment is still required.
Some exclusions apply to pets. Please advice BEFORE booking if you plan on bringing your fur baby.
I will do my best to room you with someone, If I am unable to, you will need to pay the single occupancy rate.
DISCLOSURE: This itinerary is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances such as unpredictable weather, global pandemics, tour company/hotel issues or errors or any other factors outside of my control. I always strive for the best possible experience and will substitute anything that must be changed with something equally or even more awesome!
