This article will give you a good insight as to what a trip is all about and should answer a lot of your questions.

Secondly to all those that have been before and those that have received the info from previous trips - READ THE INFO CAREFULLY AS THERE ARE CHANGES TO THE PRICING STRUCTURE.

So everybody can read them - please post your questions here for me to answer. However, I cannot answer questions here regarding cost, this will have to be done via email.

Spring Group Dates 2012

Gareth has proposed saturday 12th May and saturday 19th May.
**Please note the low season kicks in on the 15th May**

Once I start getting confirmed bookings, these will be placed on this thread so others can see and allows first timers to tie in with people that have been before.

Dont forget easyjet are now flying direct to Amman as well as BMI and Royal Jordanian

Lastly, with previous trips this thread has become too long with important info being lost amongst the dozens of posts. Therefore can we keep this to relevant posts only and not chitty chatty stuff

Cheers
Paul

Hi there,

I just found out about this site and Mattellie from the US psoriasis forum. I was wondering if you still have any room in your group trip since your dates coincide exactly with what I was planning. I am an American girl from California.

I tried to PM, but I kept getting errors saying I had no access.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Lehang

cheers

Hi Lehang,

I have sent you a private message. You need to have made 5 posts before you can send one hence the no access.

Not sure about the ciggies but from memory the duty free shop on entering Jordan is ok price wise for booze.
