[ 7/10 ]
Great campground for overnight. Easy on and off I-40 access along with large fuel travel center and casino with buffet. The sites are long and wide with no obstructions. Basic amenities and you must ask for one of the front row sites for Wi-Fi. Otherwise you will have to use the rec room, which is nice.

Santa Rosa Campground & RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
Host was very nice. We used a 50 amp and water site, no sewer. Thirty one is too high for the accommodations, especially absent sewer connection. It is quite and safe, ok for overnight stay. The park is all dirt and some gravel. Few low trees, but satellite friendly. Although sites are long, they are narrow. Not enough room to put out shade.

Since the terrorist attacks on the nation on September 11, 2001 and the anthrax attacks that followed, the United States government has had heightened concerns about the potential for agents such as smallpox, anthrax and plague being introduced into the United States as biological weapons.
Smallpox is a serious, highly contagious, and sometimes fatal infectious viral disease caused by the variola virus. Smallpox outbreaks have occurred episodically for thousands of years, but the disease became extinct after a successful worldwide vaccination program. The last naturally acquired case of smallpox in the United States was in 1949 and in the world was in Somalia in 1977. The last cases of smallpox, from laboratory exposure, occurred in 1978. In the United States, routine vaccination against smallpox ended in 1972 and the World Health Organization declared smallpox globally eradicated in 1980 (CDC, 2001 and October 2002a).
For research purposes, samples of the virus have been kept in research facilities in the United States and Russia, formerly the Soviet Union. There is concern that some of this research stockpile has been obtained by terrorist organizations. During the summer of 2002, Israel began immunizing emergency and healthcare workers against smallpox in anticipation of a possible bioterrorist attack. Smallpox remains a biological threat because of its potential ease of large-scale production (CDC, October, 2002b).
Smallpox is an acute communicable disease that has no proven treatment and a case fatality rate of up to 30% if spread through a population with no immunity. The average incubation period (the interval between exposure and first symptoms) is 10-14 days with a range as short as 7 days and as long as 19 days. The highest concentration of the variola virus is found in saliva and it can remain viable outside of the body for several days. Smallpox progresses through the following stages: incubation period, pre-eruption, macules, papules, vesicles, pustules, scabs and scars. In the pre-eruptive stage, the individual is very sick during the first two days, with a fever (38.5-40.5 °C or 101.3-104.9 °F) and malaise. The person becomes infectious with the onset of lesions that begin in the mouth, is most infectious during the first week and remains infectious until all scabs have separated, approximately 3-4 weeks after the onset of the rash (ACIP, 2001).
Healthcare practitioners must be prepared to recognize a vesicular rash as potentially smallpox (variola) and to initiate appropriate countermeasures. The only known reservoir for the variola virus is humans and the most frequent mode of transmission is person-to-person, spread through direct deposit of infective droplet nuclei onto the nasal, oral, or pharyngeal mucosal membranes, or the alveoli of the lungs from close, face-to-face contact with an infectious person. Transmission does not occur before the rash appears. The greatest risk of infection occurs among household members and close contact of persons with smallpox, especially those with prolonged face-to-face exposure.
Vaccination and isolation of contacts of cases at greatest risk of infection have been shown to successfully interrupt transmission of smallpox. In the past, poor infection control practices resulted in high rates of transmission in hospitals (ACIP, 2001). Droplet and airborne precautions with strict hand washing are needed for a minimum of 17 days following exposure for all persons in direct contact, especially the unvaccinated. The primary strategy to control an outbreak of smallpox and interrupt disease transmission is surveillance and containment, which previously included isolation of persons at risk of contracting smallpox and ring vaccination (ACIP, 2002a). This strategy involves identification of infected persons through intensive surveillance, contact tracing, isolation of infected persons, vaccination of household and other close contacts of the infected person (primary contacts) and vaccination of close contacts of the primary contacts (secondary contacts). This was the strategy that was instrumental in the ultimate eradication of smallpox as a naturally occurring disease.
There is no proven treatment for smallpox. Patients with smallpox benefit from supportive therapy (intravenous fluids, medicine to control fever or pain) and antibiotics for any secondary bacterial infections. Antivirals, such as Cidofovir, are under investigation. Infected patients will need to be admitted to hospitals and confined to rooms that are under negative pressure and equipped with high-efficiency particulate air filtration, with care being administered by vaccinated healthcare practitioners using gowns, gloves and masks.
On December 13, 2002, President Bush announced a national smallpox vaccination program to protect the American people against the threat of smallpox attack by hostile groups or governments. Under the plan, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will work with state and local governments to form volunteer Smallpox Response Teams who can provide critical services to their fellow Americans in the event of a smallpox attack. To ensure that these teams can mobilize immediately in an emergency, healthcare workers, first responders and other critical personnel will be asked to volunteer to receive the smallpox vaccine.
The President also announced that the Department of Defense (DOD) would vaccinate certain military and civilian personnel who are or may be deployed in high threat areas. Some United States personnel assigned to certain overseas embassies will also be offered vaccination. While the federal government is not recommending vaccination for the general public at this time, HHS is in the process of establishing an orderly process to make vaccine available to those adult members of the general public without medical contraindications who insist on being vaccinated either in 2003 with an unlicensed vaccine or in 2004 with a licensed vaccine (CDC,2002c) The smallpox vaccine is a highly effective protection against the disease when given before or shortly after exposure to the virus. The government believes that pre-event vaccination of Smallpox Response Teams will allow it to better protect the American public against a smallpox attack. HHS is working with states to identify healthcare workers and first responders to serve on the Smallpox Response Teams.
Smallpox vaccination uses the vaccinia virus, not the variola virus, to confer immunity against smallpox. Smallpox vaccination occurs when the vaccine is scratched onto the superficial skin layer utilizing a bifurcated needle. The vaccination produces a reaction called a take that provides full immunity for 3-5 years, and then gradually fades. The vaccine protects 95% of those vaccinated and may provide some protection for years. The usual clinical response to vaccination includes significant itching at the inoculation site with the papule forming in three days with scab separation in 21 days, swelling and tenderness of the axillary nodes during the second week, and fever, malaise and body aches. It is anticipated that there will be 1 to 2 deaths per million vaccinated. If exposed to smallpox, one must be vaccinated, as the risks of the disease are far greater than the risks of vaccination. Vaccination within three days of exposure to smallpox provides protection and vaccination as late as five to seven days after exposure may reduce the fatality rate.
The major complications of smallpox vaccination include inadvertent autoinoculation, eczema vaccination, generalized vaccinia, progressive vaccinia, post-vaccinal encephalitis and other dermatological conditions. Vaccinia virus may be recovered from the site of vaccination from development of the papule and until the scab separates from the skin. Household contacts are at the highest risk of accidental contact transmission. Routine mass inoculation increases the rate of adverse reactions due to unrecognized contraindications. The contraindications and risk factors for vaccination include any history of eczema in the individual or household members; age less than one year; a history of sensitivity to polymycin B, neomycin, streptomycin, or tetracycline; pregnancy or breastfeeding, and immunosuppression (cancer disease/therapy, HIV, transplant) in the individual or household contacts. Vaccinia immune globulin (VIG), the immunoglobulin fraction of plasma from persons vaccinated with vaccinia vaccine, is generally effective in the treatment of eczema vaccinatum, progressive vaccinia, severe generalized vaccinia and ocular vaccinia.
In October 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) made recommendations for the use of smallpox vaccine in case of a bioterrorist event. The federal governments plan is based on these ACIP recommendations that include:
Since the ACIP recommendations and the Bush administrations announcement of a smallpox vaccination program, nursing organizations and other healthcare groups have raised concerns about the plans. The American Nurses Association (ANA) in its testimony to the Institute of Medicines Committee on Smallpox Vaccination Program Implementation stated that ANA does not believe that the risks warrant vaccination of the general population in a pre-event scenario. ANA also raised concerns about the planned vaccination of registered nurses and other healthcare workers urging a more measured and deliberate process to ensure that the program is implemented appropriately and that the screening for those at risk is thorough. In January 2003, ANA requested that the Bush Administration delay the implementation of the first phase of the smallpox vaccination program.
The ANA stated that significant policy issues remain unresolved or not adequately addressed. These include: the potential transmission of the vaccinia virus to patients and family members; maintaining sufficient staffing during the voluntary, pre-event vaccination program; clarifying the voluntary nature of participation in the program; the right of coverage of medical costs associated with receiving the vaccine; utilization of safer bifurcated needles and the critical need to establish a monitoring, tracking and reporting system. In addition, the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses (AAOHN) has stated that it does not support vaccinating the general population unless a bioterrorism event has occurred. It also urges the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to protect the health and safety of healthcare workers, by staggering the vaccination of the volunteer healthcare workers, providing proper training and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and understanding the impact of the vaccination program upon staffing. AAOHN does support ring vaccination as an appropriate vaccination strategy for containing a smallpox outbreak.
The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) fully supports the nations efforts to achieve national emergency preparedness. The focus should be on establishing and supporting sound public health policy and avoiding attempts to politicize such an important issue.
Nurses have a long history of selflessly responding to disasters and emergencies. Nurses are an integral component of the nations healthcare system and can be expected to respond if the nation is confronted again with terrorism. Nursing care must be available to anyone who is a victim of bioterrorism.
In 2001, NYSNAs Voting Body passed a resolution to support the availability of smallpox vaccine. ANA has been working closely with HHS to develop a National Nurse Response Team and NYSNA is participating in a similar effort with the NYS Department of Health to identify nurses who can respond to emergencies within New York State.
NYSNA commends the CDCs efforts to make it a priority to address the multifaceted issues associated with bioterrorism events such as the re-introduction of smallpox. It is critical that the smallpox pre-event vaccination program not divert or diminish the nations resources and preparedness for essential public health services, as well as chemical, biological and radiological events or any other potential threat.
Registered nurses must be educated on how to respond to the use of biological agents or other weapons of mass destruction. Nurses understand that there are significant occupational health and safety risks that will need to be considered when deciding whether or not to be vaccinated for smallpox. ANA has developed a decision-making tree for nurses to utilize when considering volunteering to receive the smallpox vaccination.
NYSNA agrees with the federal and state governments that a single smallpox event will constitute a public health emergency that will need to be addressed immediately and aggressively with an appropriate vaccination program. In addition, as the government has begun vaccinating, it will be a public health necessity for some registered nurses and other healthcare workers to be vaccinated in order to provide care for those individuals who present with side effects or adverse reactions to the vaccine.
NYSNA shares the concerns of the American Nurses Association, other nursing and public health organizations and certain healthcare facilities and agencies that pre-event smallpox vaccination is not an intervention to be undertaken lightly or without a clear understanding of the benefits and risks of such a program to the health and safety of registered nurses, other healthcare workers and the public at large. There are substantial unresolved policy issues and serious potential health concerns that must be addressed before the New York State Nurses Association can support full implementation of the governments proposed three-stage pre-event smallpox vaccination program.

Meals Most meals are included as specified in the itinerary. Gratuities Included All customary gratuities for hotel and restaurant staff, local guides and drivers are included. Luggage Handling and Restrictions Special Luggage Restrictions for this Tour Due to strictly enforced weight restrictions on the on-tour flights, luggage weight per person must not exceed 44 lbs (20 kg) and you are permitted only one piece of checked luggage. Luggage exceeding the allowable weight is subject to excess baggage charges that can result in a considerable additional expense. The maximum allowable weight for carry-on luggage is 15 lbs (6.8 kg), and the maximum allowable dimensions are 22" by 14" by 10" (55.9 cm by 35.6 cm by 25 cm). These dimensions include all wheels, handles, pockets, etc. If these dimensions are exceeded, the carry-on piece will be checked. Regulations within most airports require that customers handle their own luggage through customs. You will be required to pack an overnight bag during for your three night trip to Kathmandu from Delhi on day 4 of your itinerary. You will be reunited with your checked luggage upon your arrival in Agra on day 7. For your convenience, you will be provided with a duffel bag upon arrival in India. Packing an overnight bag on these occasions will ensure the safe and timely arrival of your luggage at your next destination, and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Checked Luggage – General Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm). Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences. Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home! Carry-on Luggage – General Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc. For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and only those items you need handy during the day such as purses, make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or in the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

We also recommend that you make a photocopy of the front and back sides of your ATM and credit cards to leave behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your cards are misplaced, lost or stolen. Cell Phone Usage We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone during motor coach travel, group functions, when sightseeing and when the Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There will be many opportunities to make or receive calls at times when it does not affect others. Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine whether your service extends to Eastern Canada. Health and Activity Your journey to the subcontinent is very active and includes three on-tour flights. You should be in good health and able to walk moderate distances over varied terrain. Various modes of transportation will be used to highlight different aspects of the culture and geography of India and Nepal, including airplane, train, motor coach, open jeep and riverboat. There is a significant amount of walking on this journey; however, the pace of the itinerary has been carefully planned to intersperse sightseeing with leisurely days to ensure you have a most enjoyable time. AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND MOBILITY ISSUES: This Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in many foreign countries on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Tauck journey. Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Guests should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in many foreign countries, particularly in developing countries, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues. The responsibility of the Tauck Director is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. Due to the ancient nature of several of the sites you will visit during your sojourn in India and Nepal, stairs and walkways are sometimes dark, uneven, steep and/or slippery. It can also be quite warm when sightseeing at Elephanta Island, but using sun protection, including wearing a hat and sunglasses, and drinking lots of water can help minimize the impact of the weather. We advise that you always drink bottled water with an unbroken seal. Avoid having ice in your drinks, and clean your teeth with bottled water. Public toilet facilities are rare. You are encouraged to take every opportunity to use a clean toilet in places such as hotels and restaurants. Most hotels catering to an international clientele provide western style restroom facilities. Smoking is not permitted on the motor coaches. Hotels in India and Nepal do not always have designated non-smoking rooms, but your preference will be forwarded to the hotels and every effort will be made to accommodate your request, although it cannot be guaranteed. Always keep mosquito repellent with you and be sure to pay special attention to mosquito protection between dusk and dawn. Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour. If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify Tauck as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly. VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Some of the countries visited on this itinerary may require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases in order to enter the country. These requirements are subject to frequent change as outbreaks occur and subside in different areas, and it is therefore crucial that you obtain the very latest information on entry requirements as you prepare for your journey. For the most current information, please consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by clicking here and the World Health Organization (WHO) by clicking here. You may also wish to visit the web sites for the embassies of the countries you will be visiting. Besides providing details on vaccination requirements, these sites can also provide information on vaccinations that may be recommended (but aren't required) and other potential health issues for which no vaccines are available. Any decisions relating to your health, of course, should not be based solely on information provided by a web site. It is critically important that you consult with your personal physician prior to your journey to obtain any required vaccinations and to review any optional recommendations offered by the CDC or other sources. Please be sure to discuss your journey with your physician at least four to six weeks in advance of your departure, as certain vaccinations take time to become fully effective. Also, be certain to ask your physician for proof of any vaccinations you receive, and to pack this proof along with your other travel documents in your carry-on luggage (not in your checked luggage). Researching and complying with vaccination entry requirements for the countries visited on this itinerary is the responsibility of the traveler and not Tauck. Tauck is therefore not responsible for any expenses incurred or disruptions to travel caused by improper or incomplete vaccinations, or by the failure to provide proof of required vaccinations. If you do not obtain the necessary vaccinations and proper documentation, you may be denied entry into one or more countries, or temporarily quarantined until the necessary vaccinations are administered, or until proper documentation is provided. Airline Disinsection The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a guidance letter that requires airlines and travel agents to disclose to consumers countries that require the use of insecticides by airlines. Please click here for more information. Visiting Bandhavgarh National Park And Kanha National Park The opportunity to experience both Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks will be a highlight of your trip, although the parks' remote locations do present additional challenges that you likely will not have experienced on other Tauck journeys. For example and as noted above, both parks are extremely isolated. While this is largely responsible for their significant wildlife populations and their resulting popularity with travelers, it also means that clean restroom facilities aren't as readily available as they are on other Tauck itineraries. As a result, restroom visits on selected portions of this itinerary are less frequent and three hours or more may elapse between scheduled stops. Also, accessing both parks necessitates lengthy motorcoach rides of five hours or more, and some of the roads used to reach the parks (and certainly the roads within the parks themselves) can be very bumpy. These road conditions, and the fact that our travel within the parks will be in jeeps with relatively stiff front and rear suspensions, may make this trip uncomfortable or even unsuitable for those with chronic back problems. If you have any health concerns related to your journey, please be sure to consult your physician before your departure. Finally, the local tiger populations are large and the chance to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is certainly an unforgettable thrill. However, we can make no guarantees that you or your group will actually encounter any tigers during your time in the parks. Tigers can be elusive and the typically dense forests of the parks can make them more difficult to spot than wildlife seen in the more open savannah-type landscapes found on most African safaris. Patience, attentiveness and a keen eye are you best tools to help ensure you'll be treated to views of tigers in the wild. Local Customs – Eating – In India and Nepal, people often eat with the right hand. The left hand is considered unclean and is generally not used to eat or to handle food and money. Feet - The soles of your feet pointing towards someone is considered offensive, so care should be taken not to do this. In the same vein, feet should not be placed on furniture. If you accidentally touch someone with your foot, it is common practice to apologize. It is also customary to remove your shoes when entering a private home in addition to places of worship and burial. Garlands -- If you are given a garland of flowers, remove it after several minutes to demonstrate your humility. Greetings - Handshakes are not a common method of greeting in India or Nepal. The Indian greeting is to put your hands together in front of your chin (as for praying) and incline your head forward, saying "Namaste". Language - The official language of India is Hindi in the Devanagri script. The individual states are free to decide their own regional languages for internal administration and education, so there are 18 official languages spoken throughout the country. English is widely spoken in India. There are more than a hundred languages spoken in Nepal. The chief language of Nepal is Nepali, the other languages are spoken to a larger or lesser degree in specific areas of the country. Personal Space - India is densely populated and people are accustomed to being crowded. However, except in packed buses, strangers avoid touching each other. Cross-gender touching is especially offensive, although it is not uncommon to see same-sex friends holding hands or hugging. Religious Places - Most temples and mosques prohibit shoes inside the building and signs are sometimes posted when this is the case. Some Hindu temples do not permit non-Hindus to enter. A visitor should ask if there is any doubt and observe other visitors for guidance. In Sikh temples, called gurdwaras, white/saffron head coverings for both men and women are required (and sometimes provided). Priests in gurdwaras also offer the visitor blessed food, which should be accepted with the right hand to avoid giving offense. The food should either be eaten or given to someone else. It is customary to enter any religious place with the head slightly bowed. Street Scenes - Guests will have expectations of poverty before arriving in India, but unless you have previously traveled to a developing country, it is hard to suppress one's shock. You will encounter people, including children, begging in the streets. You will see street scenes which may be unusual, including animals sifting through garbage in the streets. You will also see prosperity and middle class living. Being prepared for these different experiences will better enable you to enjoy your exploration through this colorful, vibrant and hospitable country. Photography - Special permission of the Archaeological Survey of India, New Delhi, is required for use of tripod and artificial light. Photography in the wildlife sanctuaries is allowed on payment of a prescribed fee. In Delhi, videos are not allowed at Humayun's Tomb, and camera fees are imposed at both UNESCO sites visited in Delhi. Videos are not allowed in the Taj Mahal complex past the first viewing area; guests may store their cameras. Costs incurred for photography are at guests' expense. Your Tauck Director will advise you of all known camera related fees and rules for each city traveled. Additional Information Travel Documents Required If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey that contains at least four blank pages. You will also need a current visa to enter India and a current visa to enter Nepal. Up-to-date visas are required for India and Nepal. A MULTIPLE-ENTRY VISA IS REQUIRED FOR INDIA. If you do not have a multiple-entry visa, you will not be permitted to enter India again. You will not be able to obtain an Indian visa from Nepal. When obtaining your visas, you must inform the visa agent/embassy that you will be traveling to Nepal from India and re-entering India. A visa for Nepal also needs to be obtained prior to tour start. For U.S. and Canadian citizens we have collaborated with Pinnacle Travel Document Systems (TDS) to assist you in obtaining an entry visa for India and Nepal. The visa fees, as well as any applicable consular fees and shipping fees, is not included in the tour cost, and payment should be mailed with the completed application directly to TDS. The amount of the visa fee is stated on the application. A TDS visa kit may be downloaded through the Pinnacle TDS website by clicking here. Visas for India cannot be processed more than 6 months prior to departure and the process does take several weeks to complete. It is very important to note that while we have an affiliation with TDS for processing visas, you are not required to process your visa through TDS, and may elect to choose other visa services or work directly through an Indian consulate or embassy. If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, please contact a consulate or embassy of India and Nepal to determine if an entry visa is required. Please note: The Indian government has recently introduced a new policy that requires leisure travelers entering India more than once within a two-month period to obtain a Re-Entry Permit. Thus, if you will be visiting India less than two months before or less than two months after your Tauck journey to India, you will need a Re-Entry Permit. Visa requirements can change quickly. Please do not keep forms on file as they may become out-of-date causing unnecessary processing delays. We strongly recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen. Note: For activities marked with an asterisk (*) in day-by-day descriptions, participation is at your own risk; a signed liability waiver will be required. Travel With Children Age Recommendations ― Children 5 years of age or older at the time of travel are welcome on this Tauck journey. Based upon our experience with family travelers, we have a minimum recommended age for each journey to encourage comfort and enjoyment for all of our guests. All children must be accompanied on activities by a parent or guardian. At least one guest in the traveling party must be 21 years of age or older in order to make a reservation. Babysitting ― Our journeys are designed for adults and children to share the wonder of discovery together. If you require babysitting services, your Tauck Director will put you in contact with the appropriate hotel staff with whom you may make babysitting arrangements. There is usually an additional fee for these services. Many hotels do offer on-site babysitting services; however, babysitting services may not be available at all of our hotels. Please note that our Tauck Directors are not responsible for providing babysitting services. Safety and Welfare Responsibility ― We welcome the participation of child travelers on our exciting excursions. If you are traveling with a child on a Tauck journey, you have the sole responsibility for ensuring that that the child with whom you are traveling follows all rules of safety throughout the tour. By traveling with us, you release Tauck, Inc. and our partners of all liability for any risks and/or injuries to the child with whom you are traveling. Special Travel Documentation for Children Authorization for Travel If you travel into or out of the U.S. with children under the age of 18, you should be aware of the following: because of increasing incidents of child abductions in disputed custody cases and because children are at risk as possible victims of child pornography, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that unless the child is accompanied by both parents, you should have a notarized note from the child's other parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with grandparents, uncles or aunts, sisters or brothers, or friends, a note signed by both parents) stating that the parent(s) not traveling acknowledge that the parent(s), family members, etc. who are traveling into or out of the U.S. with the child have permission to do so. While CBP may not ask to see this documentation, if they do ask, and you do not have it, you may be detained until the circumstances of the child traveling without both parents can be fully assessed. If there is no second parent with legal claims to the child (parent deceased, sole custody, etc.), other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, birth certificate naming only one parent, or a death certificate, will be useful. Many other countries also share this concern for children who travel without both parents. To ensure smooth travel, we require you to comply with the travel regulations of each country visited. This information may be obtained from a country's consulate or embassy. Authorization for Emergency Medical Treatment In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, a medical facility will require permission from the child's parents to provide treatment. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you bring along a letter from both parents (including other pertinent documents as cited above) authorizing emergency medical treatment for their child. Children who are U.S. citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion of the journey. We are not responsible for the disruption of travel caused by the improper documentation of any guest, including children traveling without both parents. While there is no definitive format or standard, click here to view a sample letter for guardians or one parent traveling with a child. Airline Security Measures If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport. If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information. For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here. If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport. Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items and recommended airport check-in times. What to Pack Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site. When packing for travel to India and Nepal, we suggest you select a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. In India, delicate fabrics do not stand up well to laundering facilities except at deluxe hotels. Plain cotton or cotton and synthetic blend clothing is the most practical and is the coolest in summer. It is best to avoid synthetic fabrics that do not "breathe". A hat with a wide brim will help protect you from the harsh sun. During the fall season, a collapsible umbrella comes in handy. During the winter months, sweaters and light jackets are necessary. In December and January the temperatures in the national park can drop below freezing level and the Jeep rides can be chilly. Several layers and a windbreaker may be neccessary to remain comfortable. We do not advise you dress in shorts, mini-skirts or tank tops unless you are on a beach. In small towns and cities, people may tend to stare if you expose too much skin. Most locals dress in modest clothing. To respect local customs and sensitivities when in public, we recommend that women wear skirts below the knee or longer or relatively loose slacks. Avoid wearing sleeveless blouses and tight pants. Young women and teenage girls, especially those dressed in tight or short dresses, may attract undesirable attention. Men should avoid going shirtless; trousers are preferable to shorts. When visiting places of worship, women are not allowed to enter with bare shoulders, short pants or short skirts; a long skirt, dress, or slacks are recommended. A scarf is acceptable to cover shoulders if a woman is wearing a sleeveless top. Head covering is not required. Men should also dress appropriately for a holy sanctuary. Shorts are discouraged. All visitors will be required to remove their shoes in temples and mosques. For the welcome and farewell dinners, we recommend resort wear to suit a tropical climate. Following is a list of recommended items to pack: Resort wear A sports jacket for men for fine dining options Skirt below the knee Loose slacks Trousers Shorts Short and long-sleeved shirts and blouses Scarf Light sweater Light waterproof jacket Swimwear Gym wear Sunglasses Sunscreen Wide-brimmed hat A pair of sturdy, yet comfortable, pre-worn walking shoes for uneven terrain A pair of easily removable shoes or sandals for entering temples and shrines Collapsible umbrella Toiletries, sundries, tissues Pre-moistened towelettes Handkerchiefs Antibacterial lotion Medication for allergies/aspirin/upset stomach/diarrhea Insect repellent Travel alarm Camera, film, memory cards, batteries and other photography accessories Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling Upon Arrival... Air Conditioning All of the hotels on this tour provide air-conditioning. The motor coaches used on this tour are also air-conditioned for your comfort. Currency and Exchange Rates The official currency used in India is called the rupee and banks, hotels, and authorized moneychangers can exchange foreign currency for rupees. Receipts (called "encashment certificates") should be retained, as these will enable you to reconvert the balance into dollars, or any other foreign currency, when you leave the country, provided the receipt is no more than 30 days old. Most large cities have ATMs that accept Visa and MasterCard as well as American Express. The ATM network is ever expanding, and in some Indian states you can find them in smaller towns. International airports have currency exchange booths that are always open for arriving or departing overseas flights. The official currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee and comes in denominations of 1000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1. Rupee coins are found in denominations of 5, 2 and 1. One rupee equals 100 paisa. Credit cards like American Express, Master and Visa are widely accepted at major hotels, shops, and restaurants. Remember to keep your Foreign Exchange Encashment Receipt while making foreign exchange payments or transferring foreign currency into Nepalese rupees. The receipts may be needed to change left-over Nepalese Rupees into hard currency before leaving the country. ATMs are widely in use in Kathmandu. To obtain the latest currency exchange rate, you may want to check your local newspaper or by logging on to oanda.com by clicking here. Customs and Tax-Free Shopping You should familiarize yourself with the specific required customs declarations of India and Nepal before you travel. In general, you are not permitted to bring live plants, fresh fruits and other produce items into most countries. You may access India's Central Board of Excise and Customs by clicking here. Any person can bring into India from a place outside India foreign exchange without any limit. However, declaration of foreign exchange/currency is required to be made in the prescribed Currency Declaration Form in the following cases: (a) Where the value of foreign currency notes exceeds US$ 5000/- or equivalent. (b) Where the aggregate value of foreign exchange (in the form of currency notes, bank notes, traveler cheques etc.) exceeds US$ 10,000/- or its equivalent. If you are a U.S. resident traveling internationally who will be returning to the U.S. at the end of the tour, you are entitled to a duty-free exemption based on the total value of merchandise purchase abroad, as long as you physically bring them with you. There are limits to the amount of alcohol that can be a part of this exemption. Certain restrictions apply to unaccompanied goods mailed from abroad to the U.S. Please call your local customs office or consult the U.S. government's customs regulations as contained in their publication entitled Know Before You Go. If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally, please refer to your own country's rules and regulations regarding customs and duty-free shopping to ensure compliance upon your return. Many countries levy Value Added Taxes (VAT) on consumer goods and services. (The tax rate may be higher for luxury items and lower for basic goods.) As a rule, if you are not a resident of the country (or of the country's intergovernmental economic community, e.g., the European Union) in which the purchase is made, you may be entitled to a VAT refund and should inquire about the refund policy where you shop. Electrical Current The electrical current in the hotels in India and Nepal is 220v, 50 Hz, AC. If you bring electrical devices that do not meet these standards, you may need to bring the appropriate converters and adapters. Internet Access Complimentary basic Internet where available in hotel rooms; service levels are not guaranteed. Time Zones All cities on this journey are located in the same time zone. They are 5.5 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (or Greenwich Mean Time). India and Nepal do not observe Daylight Savings Time or other seasonal adjustments. To determine current time in major cities around the world, we suggest you log on to the Internet website, timeanddate.com, by clicking here. Elevation The maximum elevation on this itinerary is 1,721 ft (525 m). Weather The climate in India and Nepal vary depending on the location and time of travel. In northern India, the weather during the late fall and winter months of October through March is dry with temperatures averaging 45 °F (7 °C) in the early morning and evening, and 70 to 75 °F (21 to 24 °C) during the day. However, as you travel south to Mumbai temperatures rise, with daytime temperatures averaging 75 to 80 °F (24 to 27 °C). India and Nepal are known for their rainy season, when monsoons make headlines. However, from October through March – the best time to travel – no more than one inch of rain per month on average falls on the cities we visit. To determine current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website, noaa.gov, by clicking here.

Tauck's Travel Protection Plan is available to all travelers, with the exception of residents of Puerto Rico. Residents of Puerto Rico are eligible for some cancellation protection by purchasing Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver (see below). Tauck's Guest Protection Under Tauck's all-inclusive Guest Protection, you can cancel your tour for any reason up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost. The Guest Protection plan waives cancellation fees outlined, provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. Tour cancellation fees are waived regardless of reason, without written notice, and Tauck will refund land tour cost. The cost is $610.00 per person. In addition, Tauck's Guest Protection provides comprehensive travelers' insurance and 24-hour emergency assistance. Coverage for the following elements is provided by BerkelyCare, Ltd. and is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of the policy: Airfare Protection – Should you need to cancel or interrupt your tour for covered reasons, airfares and air penalties will be covered up to the original airfare cost. Medical Protection – You are reimbursed for covered medical expenses incurred in the event you become injured or ill during your trip (including pre-existing conditions if purchased at time of deposit). Luggage Protection – You are reimbursed for lost, stolen, delayed or damaged luggage. This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Details will be provided with written confirmation of your tour reservation. Guest Protection does not protect travel agent commissions. Cost is not refundable under any circumstances. Reimbursements will be made according to original method of payment. The amount of any refund shall be reduced by any recoveries obtained by you from any third parties. Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver Should you have to cancel your tour for any reason, Tauck's non-refundable Cancellation Fee Waiver waives all cancellation fees outlined (except in Extreme Circumstances*), provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. The cost is $400.00 per person. This Waiver is not insurance; it does not cover airline penalties, luggage damage, personal injury, or protect travel agent commissions. The advantage of this waiver is that you may cancel regardless of reason, without written notice. Should you wish protection beyond our Cancellation Fee Waiver, your travel agent will recommend insurance companies. This optional Cancellation Fee Waiver must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. It assures a full refund of land tour costs received by Tauck, except for the cost of the Cancellation Fee Waiver and any extra fees resulting from partial room cancellation. *Extreme Circumstances: In the event of an act of God, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event or circumstance beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, Tauck reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future Tauck journey. If You Have to Cancel Cancellations Fees – Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from our travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. Therefore, the following fees apply. Guests choosing to purchase Tauck's Guest Protection will incur cancellation penalties of $610.00 per person regardless of cancellation date prior to tour departure date. Guests choosing to purchase Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver will incur cancellation penalties of $400.00 per person regardless of cancellation date prior to tour departure date. Guests choosing not to purchase Tauck's Guest Protection or Cancellation Fee Waiver will incur cancellation penalties per person as follows: 60 days or more before departure $1000.00 per person 59-8 days before departure $1500.00 per person 7-1 days before departure $2000.00 per person Time of cancellation will be when notice is received in our Norwalk, CT office. In the event of an unforeseen circumstance beyond our control, Tauck reserves the right to amend the cancellation terms outlined herein. Tour Interruption Fees – If you have to interrupt your tour en route, you may be entitled to a refund of land tour costs if it exceeds 24 hours; certain restrictions apply. Such refunds are based upon the number of overnights missed less $40 per day for unused transportation and other fixed expenses. Partial Room Cancellation – A person canceling or leaving a tour while a roommate remains constitutes a cancellation of one type of accommodation and rebooking of another type of accommodation. The price charged the remaining person is the new, higher price for the new accommodation. Click here to download our complete Description of Coverage.

The Tauck Difference " In 17 days we saw Delhi, Mt Everest, Buddist and Hindu temples, the Taj Mahal, monkeys and more, and finished up in Mumbai. Great hotels, great food, and an outstanding Tauck Director who got us going early to late with great charm and humor. The pace is fast; as our TD said, "this is not a holiday." There were so many memorable moments – like talking with a Buddist monk, seeing a Hindu riverside cremation, flying near Mt. Everest, watching the sun rise over the Taj Mahal – that it's too difficult to choose one. Tauck Traveler Review " More About the Tauck Difference

Touch screen vision sensors accommodate rapid product changeover
Banner's iVu Plus stores up to 30 inspections, distinguishes up to 10 patterns with new Sort sensor function.
Banner Engineering introduces the next generation of the iVu touch screen vision sensor family, the iVu Plus—adding Ethernet connectivity and more advanced inspection capabilities to the iVu's intuitive platform. The new line continues the iVu tradition of delivering complex inspection capabilities and unprecedented flexibility in an affordable, easy-to-apply sensor, the company says. Ethernet connectivity enables iVu Plus sensors to share inspection data directly with PLCs, PCs or other factory devices, making communications and control even easier on the plant floor. The iVu Plus is also capable of storing up to 30 inspections, accommodating rapid product changeover, while a new Sort sensor function facilitates sorting of as many as 10 patterns in a single inspection.
Inspection setup is simple with the iVu Plus: configuration is accomplished through a menu-driven user interface designed for efficiency and ease of use, with no PC required. The iVu Plus family includes integrated touch screen TG and BCR (bar code reader) models, as well as remote versions of both. Integrated iVu Plus sensors allow users to quickly setup and modify an inspection on-site, while remote versions pair a remote touch screen display with one or more separate sensors—facilitating inspection setup and monitoring for difficult-to-access areas. This flexibility, combined with the iVu Plus family's dynamic new features, results in a sophisticated, yet user-friendly vision sensor capable of solving the widest range of applications.
"We received great feedback from the original iVu because it was really the first sensor of its kind," said Dean Tyo, chief engineer for vision, measurement, and instrumentation at Banner. "By combining touch screen technology with machine vision, we essentially fused consumer with industrial technology to create a high performance, intuitive vision sensor." Tyo adds, "We've continued to innovate our product line, and the enhancements now offered by the new iVu Plus family are in direct response to the needs and preferences of our customers."
Equipped with three discrete communication channels over Ethernet or serial interfaces and a faster processor, both the iVu Plus TG and iVu Plus BCR models can export data, such as inspection and image results, to HMIs and PCs at a much greater speed. Sensors feature a Command channel and Data Export channels to support remote control and results, as well as an Image Export channel to export image data. A 2.7-in. (68.5 mm) LCD color built-in display comes standard on integrated models, while the remote versions feature a 3.5-in. (88.9 mm) display.
The iVu Plus TG can be configured to operate as one of four different sensor types to tackle diverse inspections. These types include Area, which verifies the presence of a feature or features of interest; Blemish, which identifies flaws on a part, such as scratches on a disc; Match, which verifies that a pattern, shape or part in any orientation matches a reference pattern; and Sort, the newest sensor type, which recognizes and sorts different patterns of parts, such as nuts, bolts, and washers. The Sort function allows users to train the sensor to distinguish among as many as 10 patterns. Combined with Ethernet connectivity, the new iVu Plus TG vision sensor allows for the quick introduction of new patterns and rapid product changeover. The iVu Plus BCR reads and optionally validates data within DataMatrix (ECC200 barcodes) and several linear barcodes, such as Code 128, CODABAR, and Pharmacode. With the support of Ethernet connectivity, the iVu Plus BCR sensor also has the ability to remotely update the data used for validation from anywhere on the Ethernet network.
Each iVu Plus model is housed in an IEC IP67-rated housing, purportedly making the sensors rugged and versatile to suit a broad range of application environments. Camera acquire up to 100 frames per second, and each sensor includes an integrated ring light available in red, green, blue, white, or infrared. With USB 2.0 output, users can allegedly simply save and load configuration data to expedite inspection setup. Additionally, the sensor emulator allows users to modify an inspection offline, reducing costly downtime.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Your shopping cart is empty.
Just as sailboats are made for the wind, women are made for relationships-and with both it takes faith to overcome the fear to let go and trust God's direction. In this final book in the Faith, Hope and Love Trilogy, dramatist Nicole Johnson creates a visual reminder that God is in control. Instead of frantically paddling or "motoring" our way through the seas of our emotional connections with each other, she challenges us to freely let go and trust the "Windmaker," God Himself, to help us find our way.
Nicole Johnson is no stranger to the anxiety, worry and fear that life often brings. But like a loving parent, God does not leave His children to face the closet of our fears alone. He walks beside us as our strength and guide, uncovering our fears and laying them all to rest.
Raising the Sail, a 2002 Women of Faith drama sketch, illustrates the power and promise of God and fully reveals that faith in God can bring us through the darkness into a new day.
A powerful antidote in a world that depletes women of the God given-confidence and assuredness to release their fears, Raising the Sail offers the stirring reminder that all things work for the good of those that love the Lord.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) -- Governor Malloy has announced that the travel ban will be lifted at 4 p.m.
This will apply to all roads, including limited access highways.
"While we are lifting the ban on travel this afternoon at 4PM, I still want to urge residents to stay off the roads if at all possible," said Governor Malloy. "Crews are out clearing roadways as we speak, but the fact is we are going to feel the impact of this storm for some time. The longer we can keep traffic out of town centers and off of our highways, the more effective our recovery effort will be."
