Basic But Important Tour Information

As stated in the title, this post contains a lot of basic - but important - information. It will live on the blog so you can refer to it later.

DEADLINE
August 2 is the deadline for payment of the remainder of the $1500 fee. Information on how to do this is in the email confirmation you got when you paid your deposit. If you have any questions about this, please contact Nichole Burruss at nichole.burruss AT louisville.edu

TRAVEL
Start looking for plane tickets now. Remember that we start the Tour in Berlin - Tegel (TXL) is the international airport - and you need to be at the Park Inn hotel for dinner at 6 p.m. on Thursday, January 6. You'll have an overnight flight so will leave the U.S. no later than Wednesday January 5. The last event of the tour will be in Munich on the evening of Friday January 14 so you will fly out of Franz Josef Strauss airport (MUC) no earlier than Saturday January 15. You may of course arrive earlier and depart later as long as you're with us on the tour between January 6 and 15. On July 27 a quick kayak.com search produced fares as low as $784.

SURVEY
Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey. The information will be useful very for the planning committee as well as for our counterparts in Germany. We'd appreciate it if you'd complete the survey by August 2.

BLOG
As you know, since you're here, the planning committee is keeping a blog for tour participants. This is where we'll post useful information like the members of the group & their contact info, suggested reading lists, packing lists, etc. Feel free to follow us if you do that sort of thing, and we'll send an email notification when new content is posted. We'd love to see your input / suggestions / advice in the comments!
