Price: (The price includes airfare and the land package. The airfare used to calculate the total cost is based on purchasing the ticket at early January 2007 prices. The airfare is subject to change by the time, during the next couple of months, that we actually purchase the tickets. As such, the overall cost below is subject to change. However, the expectation is that any cost change would be very small).
