Expectations:
Open mindedness and flexibility are essential characteristics of Inspired Jewish Women (IJW). We want you to be happy with your choice to join our trip. Please read this carefully and understand that by participating in our tour, you assume certain obligations and responsibilities to Ijw and our fellow tour members, including, but not limited to, the following:
Understand the physical level of our tour's daily activities which will be going from early morning to late at night. Be capable of fully and happily participating walking up and down stairs and being on your feet for a few hours a day in all weather conditions.
Bring one piece of luggage, carry-on size 21" x 14" x 9", plus one smaller day pack or shoulder bag, both of which you may have to carry yourself.
Positive attitude is integral to making this trip seamless and enjoyable.
Travel is all about experiencing things we're not used to. Participants are expected to be flexible and open-minded and to practice considerate social behavior toward one another.
You will be assigned another woman to sleep with who may have different sleep habits (that's why we recommend earplugs ;). If you do not want a roommate and prefer a guaranteed private room, you will need to pay the single supplement fee.
We plan to keep the trip timely. We have a lot to see and experience. By joining this trip you are agreeing to pay for your travel to our next location if you do not show at the designated time and place.(with a little grace period, of course ;))
Recognize that itineraries, like all of life, are subject to change.
Agree to follow all safety precautions and health directives set by the guide.
Lastly, we hope to be traveling with a group ladies from all Jewish backgrounds. This is a trip to focus on the values we share, things we can learn from one another and we commit to leave our judgements at home. The goal for this trip is to have an amazing time and to create a safe space for jewish women to unite.
