flyer. Failure to send in your final payment
by the deadline will result in forfeiture of
your deposit.
ROOMMATES
The tour price is based on two persons in a
twin-bedded room. If you do not have a
roommate, we are usually able to arrange one
for you unless you are among the last to
register. If we are unable to arrange a
roommate for you, you must pay the single
occupancy rate. If this occurs, you will be
informed within two weeks after final
payment deadline.
SIGHTSEEING
This is subject to local conditions at the
time of the tour. Not all sites listed in
this brochure will be visited. Adjustments
in the sightseeing program may be made as
the tour leader deems necessary.
MEMBERSHIP
In an honest endeavor to ensure congenial
fellowship on the tour, the organizer
reserves the right to refuse the application
of anyone considered incompatible with the
interests of the party as a whole. Applying
for membership in this tour constitutes
consent to abide by the discretion of the
organizer and to defray any expenses
resulting from dismissal from the tour.
PASSPORTS
Passport information will be required at
time of final payment. Your passport must
not expire for at least six months after the
date you will enter Israel. In order to
obtain a passport, go to your local main
post office to pick up an application. To
find the nearest office, look in the U. S.
Government Offices listings of your
telephone book under "Postal Services --
Passport Information". This should be done
immediately. An embossed birth certificate
(one with a raised seal) is required to
obtain a passport. To obtain a birth
certificate, contact the Hall of Records in
the county in which you were born. U.S.
citizens are not required to have a visa to
enter Israel. No inoculations are currently
required for Israel.
NON- U.S. CITIZENS
You must inform citizenship immediately, and
you must have a Resident Alien registration
card (Green Card) in order to depart and
re-enter the U.S. You must call the
consulate of each country to be visited and
arrange any required visas. If your travel
includes Jordan or Egypt, a multiple-entry
visa may be required for Israel.
LUGGAGE
Porterage of one suitcase per person is
included from your arrival until you check
in for departure. You will be responsible at
all times for your carry-on, so we suggest
you keep it as lightweight as possible. This
"one suitcase" rule is due to limited
storage space on the bus. It also results in
your suitcase being delivered to your room
faster. Passengers are allowed one checked
bag with total dimensions not to exceed 62
linear inches. Domestic airlines allow 50
pounds per checked bag and International
Airlines usually allow 70 pounds per checked
bag. To find the size of your suitcase,
measure it once from left to right, once
from front to back, and once from bottom to
top. The total of these three measurements
may not exceed 62 inches. A 30-inch pullman
is usually under 62 inches total. A
salesperson at a luggage shop will be able
to show you the proper size suitcase. You
are also allowed a carry-on bag not to
exceed 40 linear inches (measured the same
way you measure your suitcase). Roll-a-board
cases are usually too large to be considered
a carry-on because your carry-on must be
able to fit in the space under your seat.
Excess weight or size of luggage is subject
to addition charges by the airlines and
those additional charges will the
responsibility of the passenger.
CHANGES or LATE BOOKINGS
If you want to arrival before the group
departs, return after the group returns,
and/or visit countries not included in this
tour, please advise King David Travels in

David Travels of additional penalties.
