Status

• 10 students already reserved spots for the tour. We can accommodate up to 10

more students. We can cover all costs with the quoted $2,591/students if we stay

at 3-star hotels (and they are nice).

• Our goal is to get 8 more students signed up. If we do so, we can upgrade all of

our stays to 4- or 5-star hotels. If we get less than 8 additional students, we can

still use the ‘extra’ money to upgrade some of our stays or pay for additional group

meals.

• In order to reserve your spot in the Peru tour:

• Contact Nicolle Merrill at nmerrill@uw.edu and send her your $50 application

fee + $1,000 minimum deposit ASAP (she can tell you how to pay).

• Send Nicolle the rest of the full $2,591 amount by Friday, December 3rd .
