Emergency Contacts needed & Roommate assignments

Dear Travelers,

Just checking in as we inch closer to departure time! My hunch is that you are all as excited as we are! There are just a few bits of information that we wanted to share with you all....

First of all, everyone should now have their roommate assignments; we thank you all for your gracious patience as we worked out all these arrangements! It's always good to know who your traveling mate will be, so that you can get together and decide important things like who is bringing the brownies and who is bringing the chocolate chip cookies! (Just kidding!) (Actually, this sounds quite brilliant on second thought!)

Kidding aside, much careful thought and consideration went into honoring all roommate requests and pairings. We believe that everyone has a traveling mate that will mutually enrich your experiences of India and Nepal. We are also experimenting a bit ourselves, in that staff persons, who in previous years have roomed with other staff persons, will be rooming with travelers on this journey. This arrangement is a first for us; it seemed like a fun and worthwhile experiment that might enrich our own and our travelers' experience. We do know from experience that the demands of staffing our trips are strong, and that a little 'down time' can be very beneficial to keep our staff members in top shape to guide and serve you! To address these issues, we will be reserving an extra room at each of our hotels; this room will be available to staff persons for an occasional quiet night. What this means for our travelers is that, if you are rooming with a staff person, you may be asked to room with another traveler or staff person for a night or two. We would be very grateful for your understanding and flexibility with accommodations as we work to refine the arrangements that best serve both present and future travelers. Thank you again for your understanding in this matter!

Finally, if you have not yet entered your Emergency Contact Information, it is absolutely necessary to do so! Please follow the link below, to take care of this important detail!
