2011 Truk & Palau Trip FINAL PRICING & TRAVEL PLANS: :
The Palau only folks will depart the US on Saturday and get their 8 nights/6 diving days and we can keep everyone on the same group contract because everyone will be on the same return (Truk people will have 7 nights/5dd in Palau).
Except for me (Kamala), everyone going to Truk will be flying from Truk to Guam on Monday early morning, then day room in Guam and then over to Palau Monday night.
I will fly from Truk to Palau on Saturday. I will leave the boat via tender so that no dives or quality of dives are compromised. I'll have one night by myself in Palau and will meet the Palau only folks coming in on Sunday night. This will allow the Palau only people to depart LAX on Saturday morning and take advantage of weekend travel as well as enable them to be met when they arrive.

OK! To get your final price, just add together which options you want from the above six options to create your desired travel package.
1. The "Truk Only" and "Palau Only" are for our non-US and non-Canadian clients. ANY others must be approved as we have a limited number of spots we can sell otherwise we won't get enough clients for our air contract.
2. We need at least 12 clients doing EITHER Truk/Palau 10/8 Combo or the 10/8 Palau with Air Option. If we do not get at least 12 we are subject to the price of scheduled air at the time of final ticketing.
3. The contract air flights are either natural or make the most sense however if you want to tweak your departure from the US say from Denver or Houston or other CO Hubs...let us know and we'll book them so they still qualify for the contact air.
4. All contract air is locked in and will not vary. It is currently the price of scheduled air but you don't have to pay for it immediately and it will STILL be locked in for you as long as we get 12 people doing the contract which I see no problem doing. Basically as we get closer to the trip our pricing gets better and better!
5. In order for me to facilitate both trips I will leave Truk a day early and miss the last day of diving so I can arrive in Palau to greet the Palau only people. Sandy aka Scubapunk will travel with the Truk/Palau combo passengers via Gaum and arrive a day or so later to join the Palau only people.
6. We will have the final diving amenities locked in shortly but we upgraded at DEMA and will have some great specials in store PLUS Tova the owner who is very excited to see us and has waited several years for me to bring her our group!
7. To book these trips you will need $1000 deposit for either Truk or Palau with or without air or $2000 if doing the Truk/Palau combo.
8. DISCOUNTS:
a. If space is available and you wish to book 2 back to back Odyssea itineraries including ours you'll get a 20% discount off the price of both.
b. If you book during the early booking window you only need a $1500 deposit.
c. If you book during the early booking window for any Truk option you will qualify for a chance to win a FREE Private Room Upgrade!
d. If you book during the early booking window and pay in full the Early Bird Discounts are as follows:
$100 off Truk with Air Contract
$50 off Truk without Air Contract
$100 off Palau with Air Contract
$50 off Palau without Air Contract
$250 off Combo Truk & Palau 8/6 pkg with Air Contract
$125 off Combo Truk & Palau 8/6 pkg without Air
e. You can file for your Premier Member Rebate after this trip of $25 per trip.
f. [b]BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL: Book at least a deposit on the trip and get a$25 SD Gift Certificate for use in our online store on any merchandise or non-travel services for booking one trip and get $50 if book BOTH trips. Certificates are good until Jan 31st so hurry and book your trip before Dec3rd Midnight.
