Senior University Trip Information – As of November 3, 2007

 

Trips are advertised in one or more of the following ways:

            On the Senior University website at www.senioruniversitygeorgetown.org

            E-mail notification to all members

            Announced in Course Schedules, during classes, annual meeting, or on trips.

 

Once trips are priced and announced you should make reservations by calling Senior University at 512.868.1982 or by sending an e-mail to admin@senior-u.org.   The travel announcement on the web site will have a link at the bottom of the flyer to send your e-mail reservation to Senior University.  You must be a current member of Senior University to make reservations for our trips.

 

When you receive notification from Kendra that you are confirmed, you should immediately send your check to Senior University, PO Box 488, Georgetown TX 78627. 

If the trip is full, you will be told that you are on the wait list.  No payment is required if you are on the wait list, but you must be a current member of Senior University.  An e-mail confirmation notice will also be sent at least 55 days prior to the trip.  If you haven’t heard from Kendra about your reservations, you may contact Carole Kilmer, a volunteer on the Travel Team.  Carole can be reached at 864-3521 or by email at kilmer2@suddenlink.net.

 

You can normally cancel 45 days prior to the trip and receive a refund.  Occasionally a longer time period is established for overnight trips or special trips that require deposits.

You can cancel your reservation at anytime and receive a refund if there is a Senior University member on the wait list who takes your place.

 

At least 10 days prior to the trip you will receive an e-mail reminder notice.  This notice will tell you where and when to report to the bus.  This time is always earlier than the departure time stated on the trip flyer so it is important to read your reminder notice.

 

If you need to cancel your reservations, please let the Senior University office know so Kendra can check to see if there is a wait list.  It is important that you talk to Kendra if you are making a last minute cancellation.  If you are unable to reach Kendra, please call Babs Cape at 864-3650 or Carole Kilmer at 864-3521. 

 

On the day of the trip, please arrive at the bus no later than the time specified in the reminder notice.  Although there is open seating on the bus, several rows are usually marked “reserved” for the tour director, guides and refreshments.  These reserved rows are usually the row immediately behind the bus driver, the last two rows on the bus driver side (left) and occasionally the last row on the right side of the bus.  Frequently all seats are sold and we have a full bus.

 

You must be self mobile to participate in our trips.  No smoking is allowed on the bus.  Water, soft drinks and snacks are usually provided.  All gratuities are included in the price of the trip.  Trips fill up fast so remember to reserve early!
