PAYMENT: A deposit of $500 per person is required at time of registration. Registration will be confirmed only upon receipt of deposit. No seat can be guaranteed until final payment has been made and the ticket has been issued. FINAL PAYMENT IS DUE 90 DAYS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. Final payments received after that date will incur a $50 late charge. Registration later than 90 days prior to departure may be accepted with full payment, including late fee, subject to space availability. Single rooms may be available for an additional charge. Once the ticket has been issued, Pilgrimage Tours will bill each participant for the Airport Taxes. This amount must be paid by the participant, before the ticket will be released.

DOCUMENTS: A valid U.S. Passport is required. Persons with passports from other countries are responsible for determining if Visas are necessary and, if so, obtaining them.

PRICES: Prices are based on quoted airline fares, tariffs and rates of exchange current at time of printing. Prices are subject to change and may be adjusted up to receipt of final payment and the issuance of airline tickets. The quoted prices include round trip airfare from New York unless otherwise specified.

CANCELLATIONS AND CHARGES: All cancellations must be made in writing. If airline tickets have already been issued, refund will be only that portion refunded by the airline, if any. Participant is responsible for obtaining his/her own airline refund. If airline tickets have not been issued cancellations prior to 45 days before departure, refund of payment less $300 cancellation penalty. Cancellations less than 45 days, only that portion refunded by the airline and hotels, if any, less a $500 cancellation penalty will be refunded to the participant. (Postmark will prevail - no exceptions.) "No show" and cancellations after the commencement of the tour will result in no refund. No refund will be made for any part of the tour package voluntarily omitted by a tour member. An administration charge of $50 per person will be charged for any changes to a reservation after confirmation has been issued. A charge of $100 per person will be assessed for travel arrangements which deviate from the group. All travel arrangements are made and provided by PILGRIMAGE TOURS, INC.

RESPONSIBILITY: PILGRIMAGE TOURS and/or its agents, act only as agents with regard to travel whether by plane, rail, motorcoach, private car, boat or any other conveyance and assumes no liability for injury, death, damage, loss, accident, delay or irregularity which may be occasioned either by reason of defect or through the acts or defaults of any company or person engaged in conveying the passenger or in carrying out the arrangements of the tour or any hotel proprietor or other person supplying services or materials in connection with the tour. The operators can accept no responsibility for loss or additional expenses due to delay or changes in schedule or other causes. PILGRIMAGE TOURS reserves the right to cancel any tour before departure in which event, the entire payment will be refunded without further obligation to the tour member. Infrequently, unexpected and unforeseen local conditions beyond our control can prevent the completion of an itinerary, or necessitate alterations in the itinerary. PILGRIMAGE TOURS will endeavor, in each case, to provide comparable substitutes or effect refunds. Any savings realized by the changes will be passed on to the traveler and any resultant expenses will be borne by the traveler. The payment for a reservation on the pilgrimage shall constitute consent to all provisions set forth herein. Neither PILGRIMAGE TOURS, INC., nor its representatives can guarantee the spiritual satisfaction of the participant.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS: PILGRIMAGE TOURS must be advised, at the time of registration, of any and all physical infirmities such as blindness, impaired vision, deafness, hearing loss, or any chronic conditions as well as physical and mental disabilities. If the participant's condition requires a special nurse or assistant, the participant is responsible for making arrangements to have such person accompany him/her on the trip.

In the event of unforeseen local conditions, PILGRIMAGE TOURS reserves the right to substitute villas/hotels of a lesser category.

MEALS: Unless otherwise specified, breakfast and full dinner daily are included.

TIPS AND TAXES: In order to avoid embarrassment or questions as to when, to whom, and the appropriate amount, a "Tip Fund" charge of $100 per person, IN CASH, will be collected upon arrival in Medjugorje, to enable the Tour Director to reward, hosts, guides, drivers, etc. on behalf of the entire group. An additional tip fund charge of $175.00, IN CASH, will be collected upon arrival in Italy, at the Father Sudac Retreat and/or other pilgrimage destinations. Tips for any extra, individual services, beverages or meals not included, will be left to the discretion of the participants. Airport taxes fluctuate according to airports and security levels are not included in the package price. Participant will be billed for the taxes once the ticket has been issued.

ITEMS NOT INCLUDED: Personal items such as laundry, telephone charges, passports and visas, meals and optional side trips not specified are not included in the tour price.

BAGGAGE: We strongly recommend that each participant take 2 suitcases:

#1 - The first suitcase should be a small carry-on or tote bag with wheels and a handle. (The wheels are very important because some foreign airports do not have courtesy carts; a lengthy walk is quite possible.) This suitcase must fit in the overhead compartment or underneath the seat in front of you on the airplane and must comply with airline size regulations. A general rule of thumb is this: measure the height, the width and the depth of your suitcase and add those three numbers together. The total number should not exceed 40 inches. (Maximum allowable size is 8" x 14" x 22".) This suitcase should not weigh more than 18 pounds. If you are in doubt, you may wish to call the airline directly, to be sure.

In this carry-on bag, you should pack all medications that you will (or might) need for the ENTIRE trip, anything of value that you would not want to lose, plus pajamas, travel size toiletries, two days' worth of underwear, a day's change of clothing and anything else you absolutely must have. Do not take scissors, razors or sharp objects of any kind, in your carry-on bag, purse or pockets! Recent restrictions require that any liquids or gels carried on board the plane be 3 ounces or less. All items of this nature must be placed in a quart sized zip-lock bag, taken out of the suitcase and placed on the conveyor belt for inspection by airport security. If you are in doubt, contact the airline directly!

#2 - The second suitcase should be medium to large size with wheels and a handle. Everything else you are taking with you, including razors and/or other items that you are not permitted to take in your carry-on bag, should be packed in this suitcase. The sum of the 3 dimensions of this suitcase must not exceed 62 inches and the suitcase may not weight more than 50 pounds. (Keep in mind that you will be bringing back souvenirs and religious articles and that the same weight restrictions will apply on your return trip.) At most airports, travelers are not permitted to lock their suitcases so keep this in mind when packing. If you do lock your suitcase, the airline reserves the right to break your lock if they question the contents. BE SURE TO CHECK THIS SUITCASE ALL THE WAY TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION! ALSO, CONTACT THE AIRLINE DIRECTLY TO CONFIRM UP-TO-DATE LUGGAGE WEIGHT ALLOWANCE AS THIS NUMBER HAS BEEN DECLINING.

Occasionally, but rarely, it happens that a piece of luggage does not arrive in Croatia when we do. Unfortunately, the airline takes no responsibility for bringing the luggage to us as they generally do here in the U.S. Please be aware that, if such an incident happens to you, we will have to send a taxi driver to make the six hour round trip to the airport to retrieve your luggage, once it arrives at the airport. In that case, you will have to pay the taxi driver $125 for that service, or split the cost with others if more than one person's bags are being retrieved. The cost of luggage retrieval service in places other than Medjugorje is unknown but must be borne by the individual traveler.

INSURANCE: Trip cancellation, accident, medical and/or life insurance is strongly recommended. Information regarding this insurance will be provided by PILGRIMAGE TOURS, INC.

ACCEPTANCE: Payment of deposit indicates acceptance of all of the above Terms and Conditions.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRAVEL, SPIRITUAL RETREATS AND HUMANITARIAN MISSIONS: All travel arrangements are handled by and are part of PILGRIMAGE TOURS, INC. The spiritual retreat and humanitarian aspects of our pilgrimages are a mission of PILGRIMS' PEACE CENTER, a non-profit corporation.

God bless You!
