48 Hours...

I hope you are farther along in your packing than I am! Don't forget to consult your packing list and think of additional things you use every day as you go through your normal routine tomorrow.  We can find most things you would need in Europe, bit not always the exact brand you are used to!

Also, don't forget to text me at the number for my new phone if you haven't already done so!

See you at the International Terminal off of I-75 very soon!

First Day's View!

Welcome to your view the first day we arrive! (Rome from Dome of St. Peter's Basilica)

Money!

Tips for Spending Money Abroad - Please check out this article from nerdwallet last month!  I think it is very appropriate for our travel.  FYI - I order enough currency from my bank for my entire trip (or my best guess) to avoid any repetitive charges.  Bank of America offers competitive rates for customers with no delivery charge if I pick it up at my local branch.  This is pretty standard.

World's Best & Worst Passports

Interesting read regarding the freedom of citizens to travel by country of origin.  Where did the U.S. rank this year?

We are here! Pictures to come this evening!

Both flights are on the ground on-time or early. Beautiful day in Miami!!!

And...we are on our way! Miami flight is boarding, and all students and chaperones are present and excited. I will post a picture from Monkey Bay this afternoon!
