As we emerge from the pandemic, the pent-up desire to travel has resulted in strong bookings on most of our 2022 and 2023 tours. Our travelers are also either booking very close to departure, or planning far in the future.
I just returned from a week in Sicily, and it felt incredibly good to be back in beautiful Italy, which is now buzzing with activity. Tourists from all over the world are back, and the Italian people could not be more welcoming.
To finally stand in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, built 2,500 years ago, reminded me of why I love traveling so much. These temples have survived so many world events, and still stand today. I am so excited for all the future travelers who will get to experience these impressive monuments in all their glory. Our June Sicily trip is sold out; however, the 2023 trip still has openings. And on our web site, you’ll find all of our 100+ upcoming tours.
So whether you are ready to pack your bag for a trip just around the corner, or plan for a trip of a lifetime in 2023, we’ve got you covered. Contact us by phone at 310-206-0613 or email travel@alumni.ucla.edu.
