Important Information for passengers travelling to the USA or via the USA On January 12th 2009, all travellers from Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) countries (which includes Ireland) will have to register with ESTA “Electronic System for Travel Authorisation” prior to boarding an air carrier orwater vessel bound to the USA. A s of S eptem ber 8th, 2010 there is a $14 fee when applying for your ESTA number.

Payment can be made through the following website: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov A n approved travel a uthoriz a tion via E S TA is: • Required for all VWP travelers prior to boarding a carrier to travel by air or sea to the U.S. • Valid, unless revoked, for up to two years or until the traveler’s passport expires, whichever comes first.

• Valid for multiple entries into the U.S. As future trips are planned, or if an applicant’s destination addresses or itineraries change after their authorization has been approved, they may easily update that information through the ESTA Web site.

• Not a guarantee of admissibility to the United States at a port of entry. ESTA approval only authorises a traveller to board a carrier for travel to the U.S. under the VWP. (For additional information, please visit “For International Visitors” at www.CBP.gov/travel.

P lea se note pa ssengers who fa il to pre-reg ister with E S TA m ay be denied boa rding ; experience delayed processing or be denied a dm ission a t a U.S . port of entry. P lea se note, it is the pa sseng er’s responsibility to pre-reg ister with E S TA .

Here at Sunway we're perfectly placed to introduce you to the wonders of America and Canada. We can help plan your perfect holiday whether it is just a couple of nights in New York or several weeks travelling around. You'll find a wide selection of flights, hotels and car rental options right across America and Canada. We have put together a programme to suit all needs; so whether you are looking for a budget hotel in a prime location or a more luxurious property to pamper yourself, Sunway has it covered.

Where to go There is so much to see and do in the USA that it is little wonder why people return year after year. There are several ways to see this vast continent. Why not hire a car and hit those ‘empty’ roads, finding hidden gems as you go. Fancy renting a convertible and letting the wind blow through your hair as you cruise down

the 1 highway in California? Or how about taking the historic 6A route in New England and discover some of the many antique shops and romantic inns en-route? Or maybe you enjoy the feeling of ‘a home away from home’? Then you should check out Sunway’s villa selection in Florida and apartments in New York. Please note, we have 1000’s of hotel rates throughout North America and unfortunately we can only feature a certain amount. If you have a particular hotel in mind, please ask our Sunway specialist for a quote.

Travel Tips It is now mandatory that all Irish citizens must pre-register and pay the $14 fee for ESTA prior to travel. We

6

strongly recommend that you apply for your ESTA number now even if you haven’t decided your travel date.

As it is valid for 2 years you can update your information (such as hotel address) as often as you need to on the ESTA website.

A credit card is a must have in North America. Most hotels will require an imprint of your credit card at checkin and if you don’t have any incidentals then it won’t be charged.

Check out the exchange rates that are available on your credit card.

Often it can work out more cost effective to put cash on your card.

This way you can benefit from a good exchange rate as well as the added safety of not carrying around too much cash!

Why limit yourself to just one city break? Why not combine two or more cities? With flexible fares from our key airline partners, Sunway can offer great value multi-centre breaks.

Below are some suggested multi-break packages, although the different combinations are endless.

Why not combine a Canadian city with an American one, or vice versa? Or how about combining a US city break with a tropical beach break in the Caribbean? The itineraries outlined below are just a small sample of the combinations available. Please contact our tailor made department on 01-2311800. Our sales team will be happy to tailor make any holiday itinerary from a wide range of destinations featured in this brochure.

h h h h h h h h Weddings, Honeymoons & Renewal vows h h h h h h h h h Dreaming of a romantic wedding but want something different? Enjoy a state side location for your special and memory filled day. Two of the most popular wedding destinations, USA & Canada provide the perfect backdrop to make your day a memorable one. Imagine your wedding amongst the towering skyscrapers of New York or enjoy the lights of Las Vegas and get married in “A Special Memory Chapel” that offers packages like a classic wedding or you can choose to have Elvis escort you down the aisle. Or how about venturing further west to the islands of Hawaii and enjoy the backdrop of palm trees, waterfalls and beautiful sunsets.

How to arrange your wedding Your wedding day is very special to you and to us.

Please allow us plenty of time to organise and prepare for such an important day. We have representatives in the cities and resorts who will assist you with all the legal requirements and provide a witness if necessary. Flowers, photography and videos can be arranged in advance at an additional charge to the wedding cost.

Wedding dates are subject to availability and will be confirmed before your departure from Ireland.

Honeymoons Dreaming of a romantic honeymoon but want something different? The United States and Canada offer some of the most romantic destinations for honeymoon couples looking for a magical ‘once in a lifetime’ holiday to celebrate the start of their married life together. A two-centre honeymoon can offer the best of both worlds, from exciting cities to scenic vineyards, from theme parks to exotic beaches.

Las Vegas Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world but it is also the weddings capital of the USA. You couldn't find a more exciting, nonstop place to enjoy your wedding and honeymoon. For the classic Las Vegas chapel wedding, we offer “A Special Memory Chapel”.

Alternatively, you have a wide range of hotel chapels to choose from.

Try your luck in the casinos, enjoy the fabulous spas and relax at the huge pool complexes. A helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon is essential!

Hawaii It's everything couples could wish for, and more! Pearly white sand provides the perfect setting for your wedding, exchanging vows as the waves gently lap the shore. If you prefer a greener, more lush setting, say 'I do' in one of Maui's beautiful gardens, perfumed with the scent of countless tropical flowers. Waikiki is one of Hawaii's liveliest resorts and the perfect place for couples who want a honeymoon that's action-packed.

h

New York Take more than a bite in the big Apple and choose to get married there! Wedding settings include beautiful Central Park or how about exchanging your vows in an opulent penthouse overlooking Manhattan. When the wedding is over, you can concentrate on seeing the sights. It would be rude not to shop in the world's retail capital, after all! Book a Broadway show and take a carriage ride through Central Park, just like Carrie Bradshaw and 'Big' did.

Orlando Are you dreaming of a romantic lakeside wedding in Orlando, Florida?

We can provide a beautiful lakeside wedding ceremony and reception complete with a white sandy beach and swaying palms. The natural, scenic beauty of Lake Bryan in Orlando Florida creates a wonderful backdrop for the ultimate wedding in paradise. Whether you're envisioning a formal black-tie luau with ice carvings or a casual barefoot barbeque complete with jet skis and boats; we can customize your wedding within any budget so you can relax and enjoy your special day.

San Francisco San Francisco has been voted America’s most romantic city for 6 years in a row! Take a stroll on the beach and watch the beautiful sunsets. Dine in some of its fabulous high-end restaurants! Where better to enjoy your special day than overlooking San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge than in one of our premier wedding locations.

Make your lifetime commitment above the sweeping streets of San Francisco in one of its most iconic buildings.

There are two words that describe what skiing is like in North America- first class!

Slopes are un-crowded; the ski infrastructure is top notch, coupled with outstanding snow conditions and excellent service throughout.

Add to mix spectacular scenery and a favourable exchange rate, you can be assured you won’t be disappointed!

The Eastern states of the USA offer such beauty and diversity, that visitors are often compelled to go back and visit again! No two cities are the same with each one offering a unique travel experience.

New York remains a destination of choice for the Irish holidaymaker and it never fails to disappoint! The vibrant lights of Times Square, the bright smiles of Broadway, iconic buildings like the Empire State and Rockefeller are all part of a great city break. Boston is charming city that is steeped in history, where the past sits happily alongside the present with its cobblestone streets and attractions galore! It is also the gateway to New England where Sunway feature hotels on Cape Cod. Chicago is a beautiful city with stunning architecture and is not only home to the Blues but the Chicago Bulls too!

Philadelphia is a great destination for shopping as it is TAX FREE! Make sure you have a Philly cheese steak while you are there.

Escape to the Cape!

Why not combine a city break to Boston with a few relaxing days on Cape Cod? The Cape (as the locals like to call it) is known for its fantastic beaches, fishing villages, whale watching and the Cape Cod National Seashore.

Once you visit Cape Cod, you will see why JFK and the Kennedy family loved spending their summers there.

Louisiana has one of the most colourful histories of any state in the USA and is a rare and exotic mix of nations and cultures that offer fabulous food, intoxicating music, a warm welcome from the locals and an atmosphere that embraces all the good things that make all our senses come alive.

Baggage

Price Variation

Free baggage allowance is normally 15kgs to 20 kgs for Economy and 30kgs for Business and First class. These allowances are subject to change.

Please note some airlines charge $50 for a second checked bag. This fee is payable directly to the airline. Please reconfirm with your consultant.

Baggage Delays; In the case of baggage delay the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. If baggage is delayed, lost or damaged the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. We strongly advise against placing valuables in checked in baggage.

All prices, which are given in Euros, are based on tariffs and exchange rates current and appropriate at the time of publication. If any of these vary the holiday may increase/decrease accordingly. Whilst every effort is made to avoid mistakes in prices arising, occasionally, due to the complexity of pricing and fares and the high volume of transactions carried out by Sunway, bona fide and genuine mistakes occur. Where mistakes do arise the consumer shall be informed of the correct price as soon as possible and the consumer shall be entitled to either confirm the booking at the correct price or cancel the holiday immediately in writing and receive a full refund of the monies paid.

Description of Accommodation & Resorts We have done our utmost to be accurate in our accommodation and resort descriptions but due to maintenance, refurbishment, low season, weather, public holidays and religious festivals, facilities and entertainment may be temporarily withdrawn without notice. Information on public holidays and religious festivals are available from the Embassies

Hotels, Lodges & Rooms Accommodation is based on standard twin/double bedded room unless otherwise stated. Higher category rooms can be secured at many of the hotels and the applicable supplement will be advised at the time of booking.

Check-in, Checkout Time Please note that at most hotels and lodges checkin is not until 1500 hrs and you will be expected to vacate your room normally between 1000 and 1200 hrs – irrespective of the time that you intend to depart. If the hotel is not full then it is usually possible for early check-in or late checkout arrangements to be made locally, a charge is usually applicable.

Resort Fees: You should be aware that certain properties levy clients directly in resort with fees for the use of various facilities at those properties.

We have, where possible, in this brochure, detailed such fees in the hotel descriptions applicable.

Escorted Tours All touring holidays are fully escorted from the point of arrival in America or Canada and to the point of departure, unless specified otherwise on the tour pages. Should you choose to extend your holiday no representatives will be available.

However, an emergency contact number within North America will be provided. Details of how to contact our agents will be included in your travel pack sent with tickets. Please note hotels maybe substituted for a similar or higher category of hotel.

Fly Drive Itineraries Please note hotels maybe substituted for a similar or higher category.

Currency and Credit Card We believe it is essential to obtain a credit card prior to your departure. In America credit cards are a way of like. Hotels will require an imprint of your credit card at check-in to cover for incidentals and for security reasons. Car hire companies will also require a credit card imprint of the nominated driver. In our opinion you should not leave home without your plastic friend.

The currency in the U.S. is the U.S. dollar & in Canada is the Canadian dollar.

Drinking Laws Regulations in America and Canada vary but normally it is 21 or over. It is often necessary to provide ID before being served alcohol.
