Average daytime temperatures in October range from high-40s to mid-60’s, but it can get cooler in the late evenings and night. Rain is also likely at this time of year. Participants should bring a lightweight, waterproof jacket or a small umbrella.

2) Can I arrive before or remain after the sojourn?
Yes. If you would like to arrive at the start location in advance or remain at the end location after the sojourn has concluded, Scholarly Sojourns can help you arrange your hotel accommodation and is often able to secure attractive rates. Please indicate these preferences to us after you have registered for a particular sojourn.

All participants should be comfortable walking up to a mile at a time and capable of climbing up to three flights of stairs at a time.

4) I am a single traveler.  Can you help me find a roommate?
Scholarly Sojourns will do all we can to match single travelers with a suitable roommate if they desire. But we cannot guarantee that roommates will be available. Therefore all single travelers should register as such and be prepared to pay the single traveler rate should a roommate not be identified.
