Italia 1945- 2022 Trip Update

Unfortunately, the decision has been made by the Italy Trip Committee to cancel the 2022 Return to Italy Trip and postpone it until next year. It was not an easy decision to make but in the best interest of the safety for all travelers and for maintaining the integrity of the trip it is prudent that we wait until next year.

We have been avidly monitoring the COVID situation in Europe, even adding a medical consultant to our team to assist with decision making. You should know that each of the four countries included in our itinerary had independent and varying COVID related protocols regarding testing, masking and quarantining, thus adding to the challenge of creating a minimally “risk free” trip. However, even if we took all the necessary and precautionary safety measures it still could not guarantee COVID infection(s) from occurring and possibly jeopardizing the trip itself.  

InterTrav will be contacting travelers regarding their deposit. Please wait until hearing from them before calling with questions about your deposit.

Our friends in Italy, while disappointed, understand the necessity of this decision but look forward to our return in 2023!

Thank you for your understanding! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Val Rios at vrios913@aol.com. Updates regarding the Italy trip for next year will be posted on our 10th Mountain Division Descendant web site.

SEMPRE AVANTI!
