 DECEMBER 12, 2009 - CHRISTMAS IN LEAVENWORTH

Please join us for the Christmas lighting in Leavenworth. This has always been a very popular trip. We charter a bus from Bellair Charters so we have a very experienced driver and comfortable smooth ride! There is a bathroom and a DVD player. Lots of storage space for all those gifts you might want to buy while you are there. What else could you ask for?! Eats are on your own. We will stop at the 59er Diner on our way home for dinner or dessert. We will leave the center at 9:00 a.m. and return home around 9:00 p.m.  Members $35.00 NON-MEMBERS $38.00.

TRIP POLICIES

 

DAY TRIPS Full payment is required at time of reservation. Telephone reservations will be held for a period of 72 hours (3 days) only.

 

TRIP INSURANCE IS STRONGLY ADVISED ESPECIALLY FOR 3 DAY OR LONGER TRIPS.  IN ORDER TO COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS IT MUST BE PURCHASE WITHIN 14 DAYS OF MAKING THE DEPOSIT

The Center has web addresses and/or phone numbers for six travel insurance companies.

 

REGISTRATION: Register at the Center.  Trips fill quickly and have firm deadlines, so don’t delay.  If everybody waits ‘til the last minute the trip will end up being canceled! When we receive your deposit or registration fee, you will receive a detailed trip itinerary.

 

CANCELLATION BY PASSENGER: If the trip is through an outside tour group and because we have to pay for the trip in advance, we can not give refunds if you should have to cancel. It is strongly recommended that when booking extended trips, in most cases, you should secure trip insurance for your own peace of mind.

If the trip is solely arranged by the Senior Center a full refund will be issued ONLY IF A REPLACEMENT IS FOUND. Replacements may be made from the Center’s waiting list, if there is one. If there is no one on the waiting list the passenger is responsible for finding a replacement. The Center does not guarantee a replacement will be found.

 

CANCELLATION BY CENTER: A full refund will be issued.

The charter trips listed below are open to the public of all ages. If you have interests regarding a trip not listed, please contact Terri Riffle at the Center. Call the Center at 360-629-7403 for more information or reservations.

 

TIPPING:  On motor coach trips a tip will be collected for the driver.  The going rate is $4 to $10 dollars depending on length of trip and, of course, service.  You are responsible for tipping at restaurants when eating on your own.  On extended trips, other tips will be specified by trip. 

 

DEPOSITS/FINAL PAYMENTS:  For one day trips full payment is due at time of registration.  Extended trips will have the payment schedule listed at the end of the tour description, if we are using a tour company their policies will apply to deposit, final payments and refunds, etc.  Generally there is a deposit due at time of registration and a deadline for payment in full.  Refunds are generally based on  a decreasing percentage of the cost of the trip based on how far ahead of departure date the trip is canceled. We accept VISA and Mastercard.

 

PARKING: On day trips please park away from the front of the building, have consideration for the folks that will be coming and going for meals and classes, and who may be less agile than you.  Be aware that if you leave your vehicle overnight the Center can not be responsible.  Please make arrangements for your vehicle to be moved or for someone to bring you to the Center.

 

THE DAY TRIPS ARE PLANNED AROUND THE USE OF OUR VANS THAT SEAT 5 PEOPLE AND WE HAVE TWO VANS SO WE CAN TAKE UP TO 10 PEOPLE.  FOLKS ARE FINDING OUT THAT THEY NEED TO REGISTER EARLY OR THEY WILL MISS OUT.  AFTER 12 PEOPLE REGISTER I START A WAITING LIST FOR THE NEXT SIZE AVAILABLE BUS AND WE NEED 36 PEOPLE TO RENT THIS BUS.  EARLY REGISTRATION GETS YOU ON THE BUS!!

 

If you have trip ideas, you are encouraged to let the staff know and they will attempt to make your dream trip a reality!
