Apparently! Although I have no use for an iPad. As an Android girl, I'd've much preferred a Samsung tablet or something equivalent that could communicate with my phone and share my peripherals!
The headphones look great, though! And a Tumi carry-on is no slouch, either!
Whoa, those Tumis are more expensive than the iPad unless they got a great deal. That is insane...! Id wondered if they preloaded any informational videos on the iPad for the guests.... seems an odd thing to send when its very likely all those guests already have their own, likely much better, tablet. This one is the smallest SSD and a gen behind if it is a 9th 64GB.
That's some nice swag! Sounds like the backpack might also be Tumi. Impressive. But let's face it, at the price guests are paying, they have paid for the swag. Also anyone that can afford that trip can very, very likely afford to purchase all that swag and probably has Tumi or similar luggage.
I'm reading it, but I really shouldn't, because it's giving me major FOMO... just need to win the lottery or become a Jeopardy super champion or something.

I imagine they expect you to use it as *one of* your bags for 24 days...
And nope, $115,000 is the total price. I couldn't tell you if tax is included or there's no tax, but the price listed on the ABD website has always been the price I was charged.
As for tipping, for this particular ABD only (from the ABD website):
All gratuities are included in the cost of your adventure, which includes meals, activities, and tips for porters, housekeepers, drivers, activity providers, and local experts.

Dean was our guide in Central Europe and surprised us with a visit when we did the SoCal/DL ABD last summer - he is fantastic and I am thrilled he was chosen to do this tour!
I would not want to do this trip at all, but I am really enjoying reading about it on the Laughing Place.
I hope that all of the people who do want to do this trip win the lottery or come into a large sum of money that makes it possible for them to go on this.
