Once we get back to the hotel, you will need to eat dinner (But you are not required to!). You have no real requirements once we get off of the bus at the hotel! If you are tired, just want to relax, or just be alone you are MORE than welcome to do that.  Since the evening meal is a buffet, just make sure you eat before they shut it down.  Since everyone in our group is saved and has personal access to the Throne, you can pray before you eat and eat with any person or group of people that you want! There will be a COMPLETELY OPTIONAL devotion each night.  There are over 10 preachers going on this trip and so we will gather for a devotion each night focusing on something we saw that day.  You do not have to come to the devotion and NO ONE will think that you are "Unspiritual" if you want to rest in your room, or by the pool etc instead of attending devotions.  The days will include a lot of walking and we will be busy so you judge what you want to do once we get back to the hotel!

Right now, we have 47 registered and another 6 that plan to register in the next week or so.  There is another 10 that are planning to go, but for some reason have not registered.  My original plan was to limit the trip to 59 (The largest vehicle they use at Journeys) but there is some information I have gotten and some advice from Cathy.  If we take 65 (Hypothetical Number!) that would put us in two 35 passenger vehicles with two tour guides.  The trip does not change, just the drive to locations.  The tour guides will offer the same information on both vehicles so my fears about that have been alleviated.  Also, packing 59 people on a 59 passenger vehicle may start to feel a little crowded after 10 day! So I am fine either way, 53 in a 59 passenger bus or 64 in two vehicles.  Journeys handles multiple vehicle tours all the time.  A friend of mine was there two years ago and the group after his was 5 tour buses large!!
