March 5th Meeting Recap: flights, trip dates, paperwork, cancellation policy

On Wednesday night we decided that our trip dates will be 8/13-8/21.

We decided that flying out of Boston to save $100 per person is what we want to do, however this will mean that we would have to pay for transportation to and from the airport.  When I looked last, the flight cost to depart and return to Boston was around $580.

See the previous post for the payment schedule.

Cancellation policy: Amped For Education's cancellation policy will be that if a traveler has already committed $850 or more by June 1st, that money can not be refunded.  This would bring us 90 days before departure.

Paperwork: I need to collect this paperwork as soon as possible.  I have extra copies in my room.
  • Liability release form
  • Emergency medical information and treatment consent form
  • Photo release form
  • Copy of Passport (If you don't have a passport, apply for one as soon as you can!  They can take up to 8 weeks!)
  • If you need or want a receipt for each check, I can provide that.  If you'd like to wait until the entire trip is paid for before you get a receipt, I can provide that.  This is the first time we have offered a receipt.  We did not issue any last year.

This blog is going to be the best informational resource moving forward.  We are completing research on flights and will have that very soon.  I will post it here.

As always, if you have any questions, let us know!
