ITALY UPDATE!

Hi everyone,

I want to share the dates for our trip with you! Our confirmed date of departure is June 29th. The tour will return on July 7th. The trip is definitely getting closer once we get dates, and it won't be long before I have hotel and tour director information!

Please make sure you have confirmed your name as it appears on your passport. Failure to do so could cost you a penalty.

All fees should be paid at this time! If you are not paid up by March 12th, PLEASE contact customer service and work with them so that they don't drop you from the tour!

Remember that I told you about the "Italy Tutor 24/7" app that you can download from iTunes. It has worked great for me. At our next meeting after spring break I will have a brief quiz (with prizes!) on basic phrases. Please make an effort to learn some of them!

Our next meeting will be Thursday April 15th- that should be an easy date to remember! I will know the airline by then and will be able to give you information about baggages sizes. I will hopefully have the hotel information, if I do then I will share that with you. This is a MANDATORY MEETING! I will be going over phone cards, money, travel plans, and some on tour requirements. PLEASE PLAN TO BE THERE. If a student can't make it I need at least one parent to be there.

I am currently signing up students for the GREECE and Turkey trip in summer 2011. If you are interested, and you sign up by the end of March you could save $245. ($150 discount now, and $95 repeat traveller discount!) PLEASE e-mail me soon and I can send you the powerpoint if you are interested.

Please make sure you have signed up for the optional trips if you want to go to Pompeii and Siena. IMPORTANT! IF YOU HAVE NOT VISITED YOUR EF ACCOUNT AT EFTOURS.COM LATELY, PLEASE DO SO TODAY! Often EF will leave a message for you there if you are missing something.

I am excited about our grand adventure- we leave in 112 days! Are you saving your spending money?!

As always, if you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
