POLICY FOR DAY TRIPS

 It has always been our policy that once a reservation is made, payment is required 2 weeks after.  To our own fault, we have been very laxed with this policy.  Our computer system is now set up to remove names that are not paid within that time frame.  Holding unpaid reservation is unfair to everyone, travelers and us included.  Please understand that once we paid for your tickets/meal we cannot offer you a refund or credit unless we are able to sell the seat.  As you know, we always try and resell your ticket so that you don’t lose any money.  We understand that things happen that we cannot foresee and we try our best to get someone to replace your reservation so that no one is out the money.  Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more of an issue and is putting us in a difficult spot.  Please contact us on a one to one basis if you have financial difficulties with this policy and we will do our best to work with you.
