Here are helpful tips and guidelines:
- You must register for the convention first before selecting field trips. We will delete all trip reservations for those who have not registered for the convention.
- To learn more about each field trip, please consult the Field Trip page on the convention website.
- Specific departure times can be found on the Field Trip Schedule page on the convention website and at the convention. Typical departure times are 6:00-6:30 AM for morning and all-day trips and 1:00-1:30 PM for afternoon trips.
- You are limited to one trip in each time slot. We will monitor signups for field trips periodically and if the same person signs up for more than one trip in a given time slot we will delete all but one selection. We may attempt to notify you about the discrepancy, but can’t guarantee contact.
- You may sign up one other person at the same time and trip using the right-hand column.
- You may use the same email address to sign up a second person (e.g. spouse or partner) for a time slot.
- If you wish to sign up more than two people for the same trip you’ve selected, please refresh your browser, then select “Reserve” again.
- Most trips are limited in number of slots available to attendees. The number of remaining slots for a trip shows when you click “Reserve“.
- If signup for a trip is closed you may check this page at a later date to see if anyone has cancelled, or check at the convention to see if there are any openings.
- Obviously, if you sign up for all-day Saturday trip please to not sign up for either Saturday AM or PM trips. We will monitor for double bookings and delete one; which one isn’t guaranteed.
- If you change your mind about a particular trip please drop that trip. To drop a trip, open the email confirmation message and click “drop this trip”, which will delete your reservation immediately; be sure you selected the correct trip! If you reserved multiple people using the same email address for the same trip, please repeat this process to drop them all. If you have difficulties dropping a trip please contact the MOS webmaster.
