Mayor Bayless commented,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/NBA-Caps-256-10390/ NBA Caps-256], I think Jim is a great person with a great personality and I m excited for him. Bayless is hopeful for the city of Xenia s economy and thinks Harworth Tire Auto is a great addition to the city. We are beginning to grow. Business is picking up.

I’ve been daydreaming about going to Greenland, of seeing its other-worldly wilderness of icebergs and glaciers before they’re gone (thank you, climate change).

+

?So I thumbed through an enticing-looking brochure from an expedition-cruise company called Adventure Canada, a family-run business that takes travelers on small-ship cruises to remote northern places such as Canada’s Arctic, Scotland, Greenland and more.

+

??? One cruise, called Greenland Wild Labrador, looked enticing. The price for the Sept. 5-18 cruise: $3,995 per person (that’s in the cheapest stateroom which is, ahem, a quad with bunk beds; a two-berth room would be a dizzying $6,695 per person). Still,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/NIKE-Steelers-43-POLAMALU-white-Game-Jerseys-16570/ NIKE Steelers 43 POLAMALU white Game Jerseys], not all that bad for a 118-passenger ship that would cruise to Canada’s wild Labrador coast and to Greenland. And I wasn’t looking for a luxury cruise nor planning to spend much time in the stateroom. ?

+

?But then I began toting up the extra charges as outlined in the 2013 brochure. And I ended up with sticker shock. The additional fees (all per person and in U.S. dollars):

+

Discovery Fee: $250. It’s described as a contribution to local projects in the areas in which Adventure Canada travels. But it’s billed to you.

+

Credit card pricing: $160. If you use a credit card, you’ll have to pay more — $4,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/Angels-5-pujols-Red-jerseys-13989/ Angels 5 pujols Red jerseys],155 for the cheapest Greenland Wild Labrador fare instead of $3,995 if you pay by cash or check. Yes,[http://classof81.co.uk/blog/2010/01/a-first-success.html#comments What really killed the Egyptian-_0], you could avoid the extra charge by not using a credit card, but I’d never pay for a tour/cruise with cash or check. If you pay by credit card there is protection under federal fair credit laws in case a company goes bankrupt or doesn’t deliver what was promised; you don’t have such protections when paying by cash or check.

+

Mandatory medical evacuation insurance: About $250 (for trip cancellation and medical/evacuation insurance,[http://www.tif.cc/home.php?mod=space&uid=232371 ], varies depending on the passenger’s age).?? OK, fair enough, to require medical insurance (which usually comes bundled with other protections). Otherwise it could cost a traveler thousands of dollars to be evacuated and stick the cruise line with the arrangements. Still, it adds up.

+

Fuel surcharges: Not specified,[http://www.howtofixyourstuff.com/ State law requires review of property over 50 years old Hawa], but they can be imposed.

+

Tips: $210. The cruise line suggests a gratuity of $15 per passenger per day. Many big cruise lines automatically add gratuities to your bill, other cruise lines “suggest” it and you feel like a heel if you don’t tip. What about paying ship staff a living wage and not sticking passengers for tips?

+

???? So before even considering the cost of any optional shore excursions, I was looking at more than $850 in extras. Ouch.

+

?The moral of the story: Add up the extra fees — so prevalent?in the travel business?these days — before you buy so you know the true price.</html>
