Great News "Maybe" Travelers! As you may have gleaned, the theme of our "Trip of a Lifetime" Egyptian Tour and Cruise is LEGACY.
The name of the ship is Jaz Legacy! The stars have aligned. We were able to negotiate to have our Nile cruise booked on the Legacy!
Please let me know if the Washington DC Jazz Network recommended you.
This is exciting news. Not only is it 5 star, but it is a new ship as well. Although the cost rose by $100 per person as the ship is brand new, we are absorbing the cost so that there is no increase in the price for the land tour and cruise. So, enjoy! You are the beneficiary of stars aligning for us!
However, to ensure we maintain our fabulously low "All Inclusive" cost, it is extremely important that you get your deposit in as soon as possible. Space is limited; this is not a decision you can make at the last minute and be assured that there will be space available. You MUST make your decision and reserve your spot now or forward to anyone who may be interested. Time is of the essence. Please contact me, Nkechi Taifa (202) 641-6605 or email legacytravelsite@verizon.net for the brochure and application so you can get your deposit in asap. A payment plan will be established.
"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did." (Mark Twain)
We hope you will join what will truly be a trip of a lifetime! Blessings, Nkechi
