ADV: Venus Transit Tour to Iran

The Venus Transit Tour to Iran is still open, and for those in Europe
there is now an agency in the UK handling the tour. Iran is a country
of unparalleled cultural and historical diversity with a very
enthusiastic amateur astronomy community that we'll be interacting with
throughout the tour. The Venus transit will be observed at the site of
the 2500-year old first capital of the Persian Empire. Price for the
land package, including all internal transportation, is $1950 US. Air
fares from the US are currently $780 to $880 plus tax round trip from US
destinations.

For those who may have inquired previously, we've found a problem with
some email and phone messages that were lost at the agency handling
bookings in the US . The problem has been corrected, so if you're still
interested please contact the agency again or write directly to me at
(remove "nospam").

See www.vtransit.com for details on the itinerary, westerners traveling
in Iran, making reservations and more on the country and its people from
first-hand accounts.
