During this time of uncertain travel, the “Haston/Hiestand European Heritage Tour” is still on for June 2023, as deposits are coming in. But in case of cancellation due to Covid, the Masts are now strongly suggesting that travel insurance is purchased especially for the airline ticket because 100% of the rest of the tour cost will be refunded by the Masts. Closer to 2023, we will know what the additional cost of airline insurance is and those persons who wish for the Masts to purchase their airline tickets will be informed. – Lois Ann and Lemar Mast
