Payments:We accept cash and credit card payments through PayPal. Please e-mail a copy of your completed Application pages so we can coordinate it with your payment/acceptance. Trip Insurance: We highly recommend trip insurance that includes travel health insurance, especially for overseas trips. Travelex Insurance Services is a BBB Accredited business with an A+ rating, where most of the good companies rate a mere A or A-. Squaremouth.com, a leading comparison site, rates Travelex very high amongst those it lists. There are six plans. For a lot more information and the name of our contact person, click here. Meanwhile, suffice it to say that our travel agent has used Travelex for years.
We are in the process of arranging a discount for this year's block of rooms at: Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel CA Highway 190 Death Valley, CA 92328 760-786-2387 For a room with two doubles, the price is $117 plus tax. For a room with a queen bed, the cost is $108 plus tax. Room tax as of this writing is 12%. To get the discount, you must telephone the number above and let them know you are with Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures. Make your reservations early for safety. For those of you who are also attending our Lightroom 4 workshop, you will get the same discount if you follow the directions above. If you dawdle and get shut out of our selected hotel, check out other possibilities in the park or outside, but make sure you are near the rest of us. You can also check on TripAdvisor.com. Also, do not rely on GPS devices for directions. Service is sparce in this park, so it's best to download a map in advance. Google Maps has one, and click on "A." Airport: The nearest major Airport is McCarran International in Las Vegas, NV (LAS), about 3-1/4 hours away from Death Valley For those who want help with reservations, we highly recommend Paula Jaye at Largay Travel in Haverhill, MA. She is delightful and savvy and has been a travel agent for [many] years. She also has access to resources unavailable to us mere mortals and can often find fares that are below the ones on the Internet. With domestic fares, she does need to charge a fee, but for many, it is well worth it. Call Paula at 978-372-0226 on the east coast or e-mail her. It is not our custom to recommend outside travel resources, so this lets you know how highly we regard Paula. Please note that in cases where we negotiate special rates with our hotels, you must use our links and make your reservations yourself. Flying with Photo Equipment: It is always good to check with TSA and your airline before traveling by air. Currently, TSA regulations note: "You may carry one (1) bag of photographic equipment in addition to one (1) carry-on and one (1) personal item through the screening checkpoint. The additional bag must conform to your air carrier's carry-on restrictions for size and weight. Please confirm your air carrier's restrictions prior to arriving at the airport." They do remind everyone that not all airlines will allow this, so you may want to select your airline based on thier willingness to work with photographers... "Air carriers may or may not allow the additional carry-on item on their aircraft. Please check with your air carrier prior to arriving at the airport." If you are a member of a photo association, carry your membership card. It may help you, but that is not a guarantee. Always check back with the TSA website for the latest updates! Rental Cars: Because we stop in locations where the roads and streets may be narrow and parking minimal, we encourage car sharing. If you are interested in sharing a rental car with others, let us know. We'll pool those who respond and get you in touch with one another to make your own plans. We can't guarantee that there will be takers, so we also recommend that you rent a car, as you can always cancel later. That way, you won't find your car of choice no longer available. You should also keep in mind that we will be driving on a lot of gravel and dirt roads. Do NOT rely on GPS to get you to Death Valley. Even the National Park Service warns you about the inaccurate directions that people using GPS experience and offers these.
