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: () Our base, a former 18th century silk breeder's residence, has been tastefully converted into a charming and lovely inn in the heart of the Luberon (part of Provence) that we so love. Françoise is an amazing cook, to wit our blogs from 2011. Le Mas des Capelans Route de la Sénancole N° 1600 84580 Oppède, FRANCE 011 +33 (0)4 90-76-99-04 phone 011 +33 (0)4 90-76-90-29 fax For reservations, contact our hosts, Pierre and Françoise (who speak excellent English), at the number above or by e-mail. If you do not hear back from them, let us know, as overseas e-mails with different Spam filtering don't always work as we wish they would. Airport: The nearest major Airport is Marseille-Provence (MRS), about an hour away, with Avignon-Caumont (AVN) a closer alternative of only a half-hour away. There are buses and trains to Avignon where, by prior arrangement, we can pick you up. 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!
Because we stop in out-of-the-way locations, and because the roads are narrow with minimal parking, we strongly encourage participants to pool transportation with us in comfortable vans. Those who travel with us will get first dibs on parking! Contact us ASAP if you are interested. Besides being practical, it's a blast traveling with others in the group. I can't tell you how much and how hard we laughed the last time! In 2011, we estimated the cost per person for the week to be around $380 plus petrol. It ended up being closer to $340 plus petrol, parking, and tolls that everyone split. Travel Agent Navigating the maze of overseas flights can be daunting, totally frustrating, and time consuming as we all search for the best fare. We have a travel agent that we can 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. In addition, Paula has been in the business for over 25 years and has traveled extensively in Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa as well as the US and Caribbean. So, particularly for help with international air and travel-related questions, call Paula Jaye 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 since we negotiate special rates with our hotels, you must use our links for those.
