I'm sorry this is on such short notice, but this is the deal: The trip we are taking now does NOT include food - it was just too expensive. The new dates and prices are as follows: Dates: Thurs., Jan. 10 - Thurs., Jan. 17 Airfare + 7-night stay at the Copacabana Hotel (1st class) + all taxes and tips + transfers + cruise (no big deal - probably an afternoon or several hours): ............$599.00 We are going and coming during the week because it's cheaper than the weekend. Also, there 'might' be a $30.00-40.00 surcharge on top of that, but that is controlled by the airline. As far as food is concerned, it's every man for himself. We are staying at the Copa specifically because it is very close to the Possada del Sol (sp?), where there is a kosher restaurant. We will probably end up making meal arrangements for Shabbat, and just play it by ear for the rest of the time. The charge for a dinner at this kosher restaurant is $35.00 (I know - for that price, it had better be a feast!). Personally, I plan to bring my own cans of tuna, etc., and make do. My travel agent has urged me to get all reservations by today, Nov. 26, because after today, the price is no longer guaranteed. PLEASE don't procrastinate! This is a great deal, and we're going to have a blast, so try to think fast. BTW, there's nothing in this for me - the price is $599 whether 100 people go or I go alone, although I'd love the company! Since time is short, please get in touch with me ASAP, preferably by phone. If no one answers, send me mail. The information I need is your name, number, address and form of payment (charge card #, check...) for $150.00 deposit. We'll make the reservation today - if you don't have a charge card, we'll worry about the deposit later. Office Phone: 201-834-3738 Naomi Davis
