  15. ¿Preguntas? Zach Van Den Bosch Bo Casper

  16. What does the trip include? • All transportation • Buses • Planes • Trains • Entrance fees for scheduled events • Sightseeing • Lodging • Meals • All group meals • Meals with host families

  17. What does the trip not include? • Additional meals while traveling en route to our next city/homestay • Spending money • Entrance fees for “spur of the moment” activities (movie, tapas, etc.)

  18. Expectations • Students are to participate fully in the program. • Eating the local cuisine • Speaking Spanish • Abiding by all trip rules • Staying free of alcohol, drugs and tobacco • Obeying trip leaders • Respecting the host families • Being on time for all activities, etc.

  19. How are the two possible trips different? One day shorter Bosque tropical instead of beach see how chocolate is made zip-lining Less expensive by about 200 dollars

  20. Consequences • Any drug / alcohol use results in immediate flight home at parents’ expense. School consequences will follow as stated in the student handbook. • Smoking violations will result in consequences that trip leaders feel are appropriate. (Students who cannot go for 10 days without tobacco are asked not to travel.) • Breaking curfew / arriving late for events is a serious offense. It not only inconveniences the entire group but also leaves a bad impression on host families, guides, and bus drivers. It worries us, too.

  21. Miscellaneous • Valid Passport • Spending money -suggested amt. $30-$50/day • Signed code of conduct for students who travel

  22. Trip Cost $25oo/ student Additional cost for bus to Chicago and back Enrollment form and $350 due Monday, October 8th Second payment of $1200 Third payment-balance due 65 days before travel Interact-travel.com
