Dear Friends,
I just spoke to our tour consultants regarding our tour in 2013 and things are looking FANTASTIC! I will be getting the tour itinerary to you soon as there are revisions that I’ve asked him to make. The first revision is a new lower price due to the euro coming down a bit. This could change, of course, but we’ll take it while we can! Prices will be more locked in after the deposit is made. Also, to keep the price down, the dates are now June 14-June 24th. Normally we try to tour around the beginning of July to take advantage of vacation days etc. but our tour guy said the airfare was difficult to get and much more expensive. Let me know if these new dates will be an issue. Anyone planning a wedding? I know some of you will be celebrating anniversaries while on tour. What a romantic place to celebrate! So here’s some basics in a nutshell:
Dates: June 14-24, 2013
Cities: Rome, Vatican City, Assisi, Spoleto, Norcia, Siena, Florence, Lucca, Venice (these are some of the most beautiful cities in Italy)
Cost: 3100-3400 (this is land AND air. Some will fly standby or use miles. Deduct around 1200 if you do this)
Hotels: nice 3 and 4 star hotels with private baths
Food: All breakfasts buffets and four dinners included. One wine and cheese tasting (ymmmm…)
Performances: Four short (30-45 minute) concerts, one Sunday morning service.
Lots of Free time!: Florence and Venice are both “free” days. We’ll give you options and you pick! How ‘bout spending the day at the Lido beach? Gorgeous!
Popular Museums included: (Sistine chapel, Roman Coliseum etc.)
All Gratuities Included (including the tip for bus driver and tour guide!)
All Travel Insurance Included (cancellation for medical, medical coverage, trip delay, lost luggage, theft)
Optional extensions available through the tour agency
Ok. This is just the start. More details will be sent as soon as I receive them. Start saving your money now! Payments will be made to the tour company directly via credit card or debit card. Right now, we have between 50 and 60 who have expressed an interest. Should be a GREAT group and tons of fun! Looking forward to sharing this new life experience with you all.
Peace and Love, Scott
