Hello Troop 410

Here is an update on our Hi-Adv trip to the Bahamas.

We have come in under budget.!!!
Initially I thought it would cost more than $1500.00 for our trip (15 to 16 hundred), but we were able to cut transportation cost with the help of our troop travel agent, Barbara Maggio of Odyssey Travel.

Below is a break down of trip expenses and payments required.

EXPENSES:

1. BSA – SEA BASE
Cost is $ 815.00 per person
– 7/2 – 7/8 Bahama sail boat cruise

2. TRANSPORTATION
Cost is $ 685.00 per person
includes
– ground transport
– round trip airfare
– NYC to Florida
– Florida to Bahamas

I have charged on my credit card the required deposits for our airfare.
– $2,000. for Delta – $100/pp
– $1,000. for Bahama Air – $50/pp

These are the trip costs.
I have tried my best to keep this trip as cheap as possible for our troop.
If anything changes, I will let you all know right away.
