Notes from the road...

Escaping the midwest winter to soak up some Florida sun may sound like a common vacation, but staring into the eyes of wild alligators, making friends with manatees, and an all-day boat cruise to a remote island fort made this trip anything but common. Prepping for our tour in early March, Florida’s National Parks (page 10), I traced our steps for the Everglades, Biscayne and Dry Tortugas.

After scouting out all the fun we will have in the vacation mecca of Key West, it was off to the less visited Dry Tortugas National Park via the Yankee Freedom III – the only commercial boat that services the park. The 18th Century naval fort is its own island, sitting alone in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Perfect for Sunrise explorers, the park offers a variety of experiences, from full historical tours, to short talks and self-exploration, and of course relaxing on the beach. The day at this incredible park is yours to make of it what you will. For wildlife spotters, only Yellowstone can compare to the incredible quantity and diversity of wildlife visitors see at Everglades National Park. From the tram tour to the boat and even from the visitor’s center, the animals here don’t hide. The gators, the dolphins, the manatees, and the birds...so many birds. No park lover will go home disappointed, and no camera will go home empty. Seeing what the wild side of Florida has to offer our travelers was a truly special experience. I hope you’ll join us on this incredible journey to see Florida in the “uncommon” way, and to soak up plenty of warmth at the end of the midwest winter! Caleb Lawson, Sunrise Tour Planner

From the back of the bus... We are initiating a charitable giving program here at Sunrise Tours. In 2019 we will donate $1 for every guest travel day (take a nine-day trip, we donate $9) to the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of one-time Sunrise Tour manager Frank Kirby. Frank was a beloved tour manager, known for his colorful stories and embellishments. On Cardinals spring training tours to Florida, Frank was known to begin the day with a yarn that might have started, “I was having a beer with Tony La Russa last night and I gave him some ideas about the lineup…you’ll probably see some changes later today.” Frank knew as well as anyone that a big reason to take a vacation with Sunrise Tours is to have fun!

Policies Cancellations - please review Our cancellation fees schedule varies according to the type of tour. Your deposit is fully refundable up to the final payment due date. On any cancellation made after final payment is due, the following fee schedules apply. All motorcoach cancellation fee (final payment due 45 days before departure): Cancel 45-30 days before departure 25% of total price Cancel 30-6 days before departure 50% of total price Cancel within 5 days of departure 100% of total price Fly/Train cancellation fee (final payment due 60 days before departure): Cancel 60-30 days before departure 25% of total price Cancel 30-6 days before departure 50% of total price Cancel within 5 days of departure 100% of total price Cruise and International tours: Refund for cancellation of cruises and international tours depend on the cruise line or tour operator. Please call for questions on a specific cruise or tour. Final Payment Final payment is due 45 days before departure for an all-motorcoach tour and 60 days before departure for tours involving air or train unless otherwise noted. One-day tour payments are due in full upon reservation. Please call in reference to cruise payment deadlines. Tour Price Inclusions (and tipping policy) The price of the tour includes all attractions, lodging, motorcoach transportation, breakfast and dinner daily (unless noted otherwise), and tips for hotel, airport, and restaurant personnel. If the tour involves air travel, the cost of the ticket is included unless otherwise noted. Some airlines charge for checked baggage and that is not included in the tour price. Tips for the driver, tour managers, and step-on guides are left to the discretion of the traveler and should be in accordance with services received. Typical gratuities for tour manager and driver are $5-$7 per person, per day. Trip Insurance We have always felt that travel insurance is an individual decision, and therefore have not included it in the cost of our tours. That being said, we strongly recommend that you purchase the optional travel insurance described within. This coverage protects you against many unforeseen circumstances that can occur when traveling. There are many reasons to purchase insurance, but the following are two main reasons we highly recommend the insurance offered by NTA/Aon Insurance. 1) Trip cancellation - If you are forced to cancel a tour for medical reasons (for you or an immediate family member), having insurance ensures a complete refund of monies paid (except for the cost of insurance). 2) Trip interruption – Unfortunately, there are circumstances that can prevent passengers from fully participating in a tour and may require an early departure or extended stay. For example, if a passenger suffers an injury which requires immediate care and prevents the traveler from continuing on the tour, insurance will cover the cost of the extended stay, the cost of transportation home and the value of the missed tour (subject to claim submission and acceptance by AON Insurance). If you do not have insurance, you will personally incur these costs. From experience, we can tell you that this can be very expensive. To purchase trip insurance, reference the enclosed info and call 800388-1470 or visit nta.aontravelprotect.com. You must use Tour Operator Location #256061 to purchase insurance for a Sunrise Tour. Updated Pick-up points For each departure, we determine the pick-up points (listed on the booking form) to be used based on the departure route and the number of requests for each point. If less than 4 travelers request a point, we may not utilize that point in which case you must choose an alternate location to join the departure. All pick-up points allow parking for your vehicle. Sunrise Tour pick-up point partners offer the use of parking spaces by

Sunrise Tours travelers as a courtesy. Neither Sunrise Tours nor parking lot owners assume responsibility for incidents occurring to parked cars. You will be notified of the timing and location of pick-up points for your vacation 2-3 weeks before departure. If you would like to spend a prenight before departure, we can provide a hotel room at some of our pickup points at a reduced rate. If the routing allows, we may pick up along the way in outlying areas. Identification A passport is required on any tour that leaves the United States, including Canada. Photo ID’s are required on all fly tours and recommended on all tours. Singles Requesting Roommates If you would like to go on tour with us, but do not have a roommate for a specific trip, let us know and we will match you with someone else (same sex of course). Just let us know at least 60 days before departure and we will room you with another traveler at the double rate. If there is no roommate available on the tour you request, you will still only have to pay the price of a double. If you decline the roommate assigned, you will be responsible for the single supplement. Of course, if you prefer to travel individually, you can still sign up for the single fare. This offer is not valid on cruises, and some select tours. Method of Payments For deposits we accept checks or cash. For final payment we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, check or cash. Seating on the Motorcoach Seating is assigned and will be rotated on a daily basis. Special seating requests are honored on the basis of availability. Paying the single fare does NOT ensure you will have a seat to yourself on the coach, it only ensures you a room by yourself. Responsibility Sunrise Tours is not responsible for any injury, delay, loss or accident due to any act or negligence on the part of any person or company rendering services on any of our tours. We reserve the right to change any itinerary. After You Book A Tour... After you have booked a tour and we have received your deposit, the following is a schedule of correspondences: 1) confirmation of deposit received 2) your final payment is due 45 days before departure for an all-motorcoach tour or 60 days before departure for tours involving air or Amtrak trains (please note you will NOT receive an invoice when final payment is due) 3) you will receive a letter about 2-3 weeks prior to departure that will include your luggage tags and important details such as pick-up times and locations, hotel phone #’s, what to bring, and a detailed itinerary (subject to change). Please bring this with you on tour. Pictures By signing up for and participating in a tour, you are agreeing to have any pictures taken on tour published in Sunrise Tours printed or web material.
