EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

My husband and I are going on the 10/21/13 Treasures of Sicily trip. Of the suggested reading from Road Scholar or from other sources, does anyone have any specific suggestions on what to read?

The Road Scholar Information Packet includes a "Suggested Reading and Resources" list. You might give RS a call and see if they can send that list to you or ask if your Info. Packet will soon arrive. Carol Kurtz

I'm going on the Sicily trip in September and am interested in trading books with other Sicily travelers. If you are interested in doing an exchange I have Midnight In Sicily, Sicily: An Illustrated History and Seeking Sicily. Each of these books is on the Reading List. If you have others on the List I'd welcome a trade with you. Carol Kurtz

Hi Carol, Glad that I'm exploring this option. Where is the "reading list" you refer to? We're going on this trip in October and look forward to hearing from you. Carole Kenyon

Hi. I am traveling as a single on the April 8, 2013, trip to Sicily and am looking forward to the trip and to meeting fellow travelers. Is anyone on the Alitalia/Delta flight 609 from JFK to Rome on April 8? I should be in seat 20J (assuming no changes by the airline) and would love to meet you before we land.

Looking for participants in this program willing to share experiences with Road Scholar or who have taken this trip at another time.
I am new to the program and have had only a fleeting visit to Sicily. REALLY looking forward to exploring Sicily with new and interesting friends.
