I spoke with Junior Tours this morning and they are going to be able to open up the portal for what we are going to call "preregistration." Our trip has not been board approved yet and may not be for a few weeks. So with that said, here is the plan...
RETURNING TRAVELERS: Beginning within the next few days the portal will be open for those who traveled next year to go ahead and make a $150 deposit using a debit/credit card. I will get you the link when it goes up. This deposit will NOT be drafted until we are sure that the trip is approved. I was given confirmation on that this morning. I will notify everyone a few days before your cards will be drafted (just don't forget you have that $150 hanging out there!). --- These people will have until WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 7th at 5 p.m. to get on and register.
NEW TRAVELERS: Beginning WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 7th at 6 p.m. all members who are interested in traveling and who have paid their dues will be allowed to begin registering. Registration will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. PLEASE NOTE: The registration is time-stamped. If you register before 6:00 p.m. you will be removed from the system and put at the end of the waiting list (should there be one).
I will post more information on Thursday regarding where we stand relating to numbers of registrants. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to travel. I will post the roster of travelers outside of my room on Thursday though I can't promise exactly when on Thursday.
As a final reminder, if you register on Tuesday or Wednesday and you back out within the first month, you will not be allowed to travel with us next year. ONLY register if you are 100% positive that you are going to go to Boston.
If you have any questions, please put them in the comment section below. Thanks!
