This summer, 40 students are going on the trip of their lives. 

Mr. Seymore, a Ridley High School history teacher, and Ms. Quaciari, a Ridley High School Spanish teacher, are going with the students to France and Spain. 

It will last 19 days from June 21st to July 9th.

The students signed up for this trip early last year.  As time went along, the students and their families had to pay a large amount of money.

It was worth it because the students will be traveling to amazing locations. 

From June 22nd to June 29th, the students will be in France; therefore, they will travel to Paris, Rouen, Normandy, Caen, Saint-Malo, Mont Saint-Michel, Loire Valley, Chambord, Chenonceau, and Bordeaux
.  

From June 29th to July 7th, the students will be in Spain; therefore, they will travel to Dordogne, Arcachon, Dune du Pilat, Biarritz, St. Jean de Luz, San Sebastian, Pamplona, Barcelona, Montserrat, and Palma de Mallorco.

The students are preparing for the trip by going to meetings and watching movies about Paris and Barcelona. 

These meetings and various movies will get the students interested and more excited about the trip.  So far, the group has seen Midnight in Paris and Vicky Kristina Barcelona.

Before the trip, students will have to pack many useful items.  These may include, but are not limited to, packs of clothes, toothbrush, cell phone, camera, money, sunglasses, and a bathing suit. 

Everyone was also given a France and Spain 2012 T-Shirt and EF Tour bag to wear during the trip.

When the time comes, this group will go in an airplane, show their passports, and travel to Europe.  They will see the Eiffel Tower, along with many beaches and restaurants.

The students are very excited about this trip, as it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Europe and look at the sights.
