Dulles). Some of the spectacles of Southern

Monreale, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, a Roman villa in Piazza
Armerina, and the Greek Theater in The cost of the trip is $2,550 (single

of $300.00 of which $25.00 is non-refundable once your reservation is
confirmed. Checks must be payable to UMBC and should be dated

your reservation is confirmed. If you wish to purchase travel insurance--recommended--turn
in a check for $153 to the ANCS made out to Key Tours by September 23
along with the insurance registration form. The reason for using this
date is that trip cancellation and interruption insurance, if purchased
within 15 days of the initial deposit, contains a waiver of pre-existing
conditions.) All deposits must be accompanied by a completed Registration
Form (see instructions
below).

will
be accepted without the form. Please note that you must use the
exact name as listed on your passport. Final payment is due November
