One of those travel tours led by a couple of teachers at his high school. It is getting interesting now. Their communications have been horrible about the process at this point. Some investigating shows that because of the Level 3, they have halted tours to Italy, so we know he's not going, but they haven't notified us of anything yet.

It seems like they can either send them someplace else that week (he chose the trip because of Italy not to visit someplace else) or change when they go and reschedule the trip (My guess is that this is difficult with a bunch of HS kids).

In any case, it seems like the tour company isn't going to want to give out refunds, so we are subject to cancelation policies if the option they choose doesn't work for us - oh, and at 30 days out, most of the stuff is non-refundable and we are at 33 days right now...

Going to be a fun couple days for the trip leaders, who set a meeting with the students for 29 days out to make a decision (not the brightest there) and have yet to communicate directly to the parents.

You should be pushy.

Don’t wait until 29 days out if the policy is 30 days.

Absolutely - I've already started pushing

I reached out last night to the trip organizer to let him know of the "math" around the dates and the implications.

My B16 is going through the HS in July. I hope things

are contained then.
