Update, April 1

Good Day Fellow Travelers! We hope each of you is staying safe and healthy at home. Tom and I are abiding by the rules and only going out for essentials: me to the lab for blood draws each Monday morning, and him to the grocery.

We have heard from several of you who are concerned about the virus in Europe, in the U.S., the trip itself, the departure date, your funds, and that final payment due April 15. So many questions–and please know YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We, too, have questions Quest needs to answer about our tour.

After a strongly worded email asking for some direction right now, we have finally received a small bit of information that might help you decide how to move forward.

1. Quest stresses patience on our part because they are working remotely and do not have access to accounting. Their main concern currently, as is ours, is to stay healthy, and they pray we are all doing just that.
2. They have not issued plane tickets, but they “GUARANTEE space with a deposit.”
3. The land arrangements, agents, and hotels have been deposited. “This is a long process as to when we will receive all these moneys back and if we do.”
4. “Please tell your tour members not to send any more payments.“
5. They report “there are many entities we must work with as your tour is very involved with many puzzle pieces.”
6. They also suggest you review their terms and conditions on the enrollment form.
7. “Please contact your travel insurance company as per our terms and conditions; it is MANDATORY to have purchased an insurance plan upon registering for the tour.”

In addition, they request that we “let us pass through this and send us your prayers as we pray for you.” I think that’s the least we can do for them. Everyone is under stress, fear, and a new way of conducting business for now.

Hope that helps everyone, just a little. It is our hope we might reschedule the tour for 2022, but until Quest is back up and running, that too is unknown. For now, DO NOT SEND ANY MORE MONEY TO QUEST. HOLD THE FINAL PAYMENT. And please be patient on the answers to your other questions. Many thanks and prayers to each of you. Stay safe and healthy.

Talk to you soon,

Suzanne and Tom
