business in europe
ok, i'm going to address this in a post now, so we can get all the thoughts that have been flying around written down. maybe this will bring some more order to our plans.important points:
-lander spring break is (including weekends) march 5-13
-college of charleston spring break is same time
-northampton spring break is march 19 until i come home
(i don't yet know what my schedule of classes will be like, how much i can afford to miss, etc until i get there, so i can't guarantee right now that i will even be able to travel except on spring break)
-anna found hotwire tickets for $377 from new york
(i don't care how you guys get there, but it'd be about a 12 hour drive plus the cost of gas, and less time in europe or more time away from school for travel)
-it looks like tickets from atlanta or charlotte may be around $100 more per person
-i can get discounts on airfare as well with my internation student id, but it looks as if they won't be any cheaper than hotwire or orbits (i should be able to get other stuff cheaper still)
what you guys still need to do:
-decide how long you want to stay and when you want to go
(how much class/work can you afford to miss-for the students, you may want to just tell your professors at the beginning of the semester, look i'll be in europe this week, can i go ahead and find out what will be covered...i can't see professors at lander not encouraging such a trip)
-GET PASSPORTS!
(make sure drivers licenses are up to date and match passports)
-get tickets (do you want to go ahead and buy them, or wait a couple weeks til i have a better idea of things on the england end?)
-save your pennies
once i get to the uk, it will be easier for me to make arrangements, so we will keep in touch via this blog and email to plan what will happen once you guys get there.
(btw, unless someone else fights me for it, i'm calling vice pres and head of international affairs ;) )
