2017 Trips & Tours Guide
Hello fellow travelers,
It is hard to believe that we are here looking at trips for 2017!
We had a fantastic year of travel in 2016, seeing places like Costa Rica, Cape Cod,
New Zealand, Bickleton… It truly was a year of grand destinations.
This year however, will be better yet. We have single day trips for those who want
something shorter, we have some 2-3 day trips for those who are interested in a
little get-away and then we have the 5-9 day trips for the adventurists who want the
big travel experience! Needless to say, we have a little something for everyone!

extended trips.
Tour Hosts
Volunteer hosts accompany most Harman Center tours. The hosts ensure that the tour runs as close to schedule as
possible, that you are as comfortable as possible and they will handle any problems that might come up during the
tour. Hosts are not personal care providers, they are overseeing the trip only.
Tipping
You are responsible for tipping at restaurants when eating “on your own” meals. When meals are included, the tips
are also included.
Registration
To register for tours call 576-6405 or you can mail or drop off your payment with your registration form to
Harman Center, 101 North 65th Ave., Yakima, WA 98908. Trips do fill, so don’t delay — register today!

The prices for overnight tours are based on double occupancy (two people sharing a room). If you
wish to have your own room, or share your room with three or more people, please contact the
Tour Coordinator at 576-6405 for registration fee.
Need a Roommate?
Please remember roommates are just that, someone to share your room with. They are not caretakers or best friends. Singles will be matched for seating on the bus. Singles should be ready and
willing to share a seat as most departures run completely full.
Dress Code
Please make sure you dress according to the weather. It is always better to bring a coat or sweater
and not need it, than it is to be without one when it is cold. Please, no perfumes or colognes on the
coach, many people are allergic to scents.
Seating
If you desire or require an additional seat on the bus in order to ride comfortably, you will be
charged for your additional seat.
