12. Trek Program<br />
You will find the detailed trek program in our respective catalogs or on<br />
our Internet website: www.suntrek.com.<br />
13. Options and Activities<br />
Ultimate fun. On all our tours you can participate in a wide variety of<br />
thrilling optional activities such as hiking, horseback riding, rafting,<br />
water sports, scenic flights, mountain biking, etc. Since not every<br />
passenger wants to participate in the same activities, they are not<br />
included in the trek price. All these activities are offered by local<br />
operators and as such are not an integral part of our treks – you just<br />
book and pay for them ‘on the spot’.<br />
14. Drugs, Smoking and Alcohol<br />
Possession of drugs without a proper medical prescription or excessive<br />
drinking of alcohol will not be tolerated. Anyone found with illegal<br />
drugs will be instantly excluded from the trek. If you require any<br />
special treatment or medication, please inform your trek leader before<br />
the trek departs. Minors (under 21 years) are by law not allowed to<br />
consume alcohol in America and in a number of U.S. states they are<br />
not even allowed to enter bars and nightclubs (for example California).<br />
Smoking is not permitted in the van, and in many U.S. states smoking<br />
is also not permitted in restaurants, bars and all public buildings and<br />
public transportation. Please be aware that heavy fines are due, if you<br />
do not comply with the law.<br />
15. Tipping<br />
Tipping for service is common practice throughout the United States,<br />
Canada and Mexico. As a general rule tip as follows:<br />
Airport porters, bellhops, doormen: 1$ per bag.<br />
Taxi: 20% of the fare.<br />
Restaurant: 15% of the bill<br />
If at the end of your trek you are satisfied with the job your trek<br />
leader did, feel free to give him a tip.<br />
16. Shopping<br />
America is famous for its many big shopping malls. Factory outlet<br />
stores are real shopping villages where you can usually purchase brand<br />
names like Levi’s, Nike, Calvin Klein etc. for less than in regular malls.<br />
Ask you trek leader for factory outlet stores on your trek. Other great<br />
locations for shopping are Indian and Mexican markets, famous for<br />
handcrafted pottery, jewelry and clothing. Especially jeans, sneakers<br />
and many electrical appliances are less expensive than in many other<br />
countries.<br />
17. Restaurants<br />
There are lots of restaurants, fast-food and family diner chains in<br />
America with inexpensive full meals such as: McDonald’s, Burger King,<br />
KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Denny’s, Lyon’s, International House of<br />
Pancakes (IHOP) etc. Portions are usually quite big and tap water is<br />
always free. As typical American food is regarded for instance steak<br />
and french fries or burgers in all variations. Many restaurants and fast<br />
