Thank you to everyone who shared their opinions this weekend regarding the last leg of our return trip. The majority vote was to opt for the bus ride on Monday night, the 21st of July. The bus will drop students off at DeWitt High around 11:00pm. The additional fee is unfortunate but seems to be awash given the current gas prices.
All flight information will be posted this week. Please be sure to check it out and remember to review airline/airport baggage and security regulations.
Tip money ($75) is due by the end of June. We would like to exchange this money before we leave. Money can be given to Mr. Van Hof at school or can be sent to his home address (please email or call if you don't have the address).
We will be ordering group t-shirts. We're asking all travelers to wear them on the first day of travel (to the airport for the flight there). This helps the group stay together at this early stage when chaperons don't yet know all of the kids. If you will be at the PRIDE meeting on Tuesday you can give Mr. Van Hof your t-shirt size. Otherwise, please call or email him. We will deliver the t-shirts to your house sometime before July 11.
In reviewing the Vatican website and several blogs, we want to reiterate the dress code for the cathedral. Females must wear a skirt or pants covering the knees and no shoulders can be exposed. Blogs mentioned that several people were even turned away with capris because they were considered shorts. Males must wear full-length pants and no tank tops. Absolutely NO shorts are allowed. It might be worth checking out some light weight pants (like linen), pants that can be converted to shorts (with zippers), or decide to carry these items in a day bag.
Please continue to check the blog for further updates. As always, please call or email with any questions. We're getting very excited as the trip date gets closer!
