for trip to depart as sched-uled, such as cancellations due to acts
of war and/or terrorism, war, God,
or nature takes place, 206 Tours is not liable for restitution.
Though every effort will be made to follow the itinerary, it should
be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a contract
of places to be visited.
Occasionally local religious holidays, national days, traffic
conditions & other events may necessitate changes in the
sequence of visits or the
missing of certain visits. We will have daily mass & strive
to be in places as indicated. However, sometimes this is not
possible as the site may not be available for Mass or itinerary
changes are forced upon us. In this case
an alternative site for Mass will be arranged. SPECIAL MEDICAL

attention to 206 Tours at the time of registration for any

handicap accessi-ble rooms where available, however, we cannot
guarantee and are not
responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels,
restaurants, or other independent suppliers. Be aware that all of
our tours are operated
outside the U.S. where the Americans with Disabilities Act is

coaches, are not equipped with
wheelchair ramps or lifts. We regret that we cannot provide
individual assistance to any tour participant for walking, dining,
while in their room, on flight, getting on and off motor coaches
and other vehicles, or other

tional travel should be advised to evaluate the potential
problems associ-ated with international travel as well as the
quality of medical care available at the destination and during
transit. A pregnant woman is
advised to travel with at least one companion; during her
pregnancy, her level of comfort may be adversely affected by
traveling.
YOUNG TRAVELERS Travelers who are less than 18 years old on the
departure date must be accompanied by an adult. Due to heightened
security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent
international
abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults
other than the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended
that a notarized letter be written by the parents or non-traveling
parent granting authoriza-
tion to travel including the dates of travel. We also suggest
you contact the appropriate consulate and airlines because they may
have additional
requirements. For the purposes of 206 Tours trips an infant is
defined as anyone who is under the age of 24 months for the entire
duration of their trip. A child is defined as any one between the
ages of 24 months-11
years for the entire duration of their trip. SAFETY Please be
