Cost: $1,180 Discounts for early birds, BCPA alumni, ASMP, & NANPA (association proof required). Transportation, lodging, meals, and personal expenses are the responsibility of the participants.  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.
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. Accommodations: () We will be based at a country hotel with wonderful breakfasts that are included in the room rate, right on one of our favorite harbors: Gosnold Arms Inn 146 State Route 32 New Harbor, ME 04554 http://www.gosnold.com/contactus/reservations.html ASAP. Reservations are confirmed after February 15 207-677-3727 after Memorial Day For reservations, e-mail as soon after February 15 (they don't take reservations before then) as you can, because this is a popular inn with guests that return year after year. For those who miss out on our selection, check out other possibilities in the Damariscotta and Rockland area, including Hotel Pemaquid just down the road (I found some of my photographs in a book they had on display that some of our 2010 crew found.) Take time to putter around after the workshop ends and return to your favorite workshop locations or explore others with your new-found knowledge. Airport: The nearest major Airport is Portland International Jetport in Portland, ME (PWM), a bit over an hour and a half from New Harbor. Other options include Manchester, NH (MHT), a bit over three hours away, and Boston, MA (BOS), a little less than three and a half hours away, and you can walk all or part of The Freedom Trail. For those who want help with reservations, we highly recommend Paula Jaye at Park Street Travel in Andover, 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 978-470-1493 on the east coast or e-mail her at paula (at) parkst-travel (dot) com. (Obviously, you must put this into the standard name@domain.com form.) 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.
