Getting ready for our big trip - first post

Hi! This blog will be a way for parents and friends back at Deal and in Washington, DC, to keep an eye on our travels to Central America. We will post pictures, have some reflective comments from our travelers, and just report back what we find and we are still curious about.

Three years ago, a group of Deal students traveled to Mexico; two years ago Costa Rica was on the itinerary. Last year, 36 students traveled to Spain and back. This year, Costa Rica was picked once again, and we have had more students than ever (56!) sign up and travel. We are so many that we have two buses, two guides, and two administrators (Mr. Humes and Mr. Albright).

We are meeting this Friday, April 8, at Alice Deal at 6:30 5:30. Each team of 6 or 7 students will meet with their leaders, we will finalize paperwork, and check on any last questions.
