I'm still registered for the Best of Italy trip, September, 2021. RS seems to really be pushing trips, even though Italy is still Level III.
They have put into place precautions (masking, social distancing (although it's hard to imagine how this can be maintained,
given my experiences on former RS trips. They are NOT requiring inoculations, to which I strongly object.
I'd like to hear from others on this trip (mine starts Sept. 19) as to their thoughts.
At this point, I'd just like to pull out and get my money back. But I did not buy insurance as insurance companies
typically are not refunding trips scheduled after the outbreak of covid (our first trip was cancelled and we scheduled this one a year later, but it was
after the pandemic began). I really can't lose all my deposit and would hate to forfeit the $500 ($250 each) as a penalty.
Sure, if RS cancels it, there will be no problem. If not, we're extremely worried about travel right now.
Please offer your own thoughts. Thanks, D.C.
