Jan 19FriLocation:Ecuador | 50th Anniversary Ecuador TripShareWe are very excited to be able to announce the OWA + DP 50th Anniversary trip that was postponed in February 2023 to January of 2024. Below are some key points and information to move forward with making this awesome experience happen. Gilda will be already in Ecuador and will be joining the group in Quito to start the trip. The trip is organized by Amazon Learning, owned by a friend of Gilda's who has help us planned this customized trip tailored for our group. We wanted to keep the group small to make it a more pleasurable experience for all of us, as opposed to a regular trip that takes 30 passengers on a large tour. 1) Dates of trip: January 19th-27th, 2024 2) Each traveller must buy their own airline tickets to get to Quito on January 19th, they must arrive in the afternoon or evening time. 4) We also encourage each traveller to buy their own travel insurance. 5) Attached is the OWA+DP 50th Anniversary Ecuador Trip Description and the updated itinerary. 6) Attached are all the Ecuador Arrival Forms that all travelers must fill out. 7) Attached is the OWA+DP 50th Anniversary Trip Financial Information for each traveller and it is broken down in the following way: A deposit of $500 per person is required to reserve your spot on the trip. This deposit is due by 7/1/2023. Early Bird Specials If deposit of $500 is received by 6/01/23, a discount of $200 will be applied and total cost will be $2800.

I (Gilda) will be glad to answer any questions you may have or Andy Gavilanes the CEO of Amazon Learning. I look forward to sharing my beautiful, picturesque and diverse country with you all!
