Double occupancy in a queen or king bed: $3800.00
If you are two singles with twin beds it is slightly higher than the dbl occupancy because of one place we are staying and the need for twin beds. (hard to explain) Cost is: $4000.00
Single needing to room by yourself for the entire time: $4300.00
This is a really good price considering all that we are going to be doing and the inflation of prices. Pam has worked hard to have good accommodations or superior.
The price includes hotel, breakfast, dinner, and fees for the activities.
There may one or two optional things that may cost a small fee but we are pretty much booked for the entire time!
Be prepared to have fun!

The Celtic Connection
A journey through Scotland remembering the times and context of the early Celtic Christian Church. We will pause to reflect on their faithful witness in the tumultuous times as Celtic Christianity had to contend with the advancing Latin Christianity - a religion founded on premises opposed to the Celtic beliefs and values. Along the way, we will also visit interesting cultural and natural sites. As well as experience some Scottish traditions and music.
