ReadersOf
our abundant pre-trip materials, of at least a little about the destination
and how to prepare for it. We try to be extremely diligent in telling
our clients just what conditions they'll likely encounter, but good
travelers accept the responsibility to read our pre-departure materials,
which cover history, lore, current conditions, include carefully pruned
reading lists, and, often, articles and excerpts from hard-to-find
books. We send a series of informational letters before departure,
covering everything from medical advice to clothing lists to information
on the trip leader, all of which needs to
be read.
