the website seems very geared towards giving the parents information.
Thank doG. A 2008 newspaper article said a kid's 19 day trip to Australia, Fiji and NZ was over $8,000. I don't know about Nate, but I'm going to be jealous if she goes...
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

K-Bug went to Europe with People to People. It was a fantastic experience. She learned so much through the whole thing. I'm really glad she got the invitation and that we were able to do that for her.
How old was she when she went, Suzi? I can see by the website that they organize things by different age groups, which is reassuring, but still-- Australia at age eleven seems a little mind-boggling to me. Not impossible, just... mind-boggling.

Let's see - that was middle school so she must have been 13 or 14. She traveled to 5 countries in Europe over 2 weeks.

I think I found the perfect sugar cream pie recipe. This one uses heavy whipping cream instead of half & half and less sugar. I like the texture of this one better and the taste isn't nearly as sweet.
The very fact that there is a thing in the world called "sugar cream pie" makes my heart sing.

That international program sounds pretty great to me, Barb. I want to go to Australia.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I spent the summer in France on a similar program when I was 12. LOVED it.

Whoa-- except on second glance, that's for the high school aged kids and according to the website is 22 days.
Journey Through the South Pacific 22 days-- Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji
The grade school age kids are limited to just Australia and fifteen days.

Cool-- if I have more questions, once I talk to Lewis and he gets over the WTF!! I'll email you.

I went to the High School in Israel program when I was sixteen. Lewis and I often joke about the fact that the Catholic girl went to Israel and the Jewish boy went to the Vatican.
