Welcome!

This blog has been created to provide useful and pertinent information leading up to our trip to Italy! I also will be keeping it updated while on our trip for those who would like to keep track of our travels!

First off, I would like to remind everyone that this is NOT a school sponsored trip. It is a trip through an educational company sponsored by myself, the individual teacher. All insurances and liability are covered by the company.

I am very excited to be able to offer this opportunity as the sponsor! As a teacher I believe that educational tours are important to bringing meaning to our studies, and in Italy I hope that meaning is brought to much of my taught curriculum; such as mythology, Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet, and many other references that are found throughout classical literature and history.

At this point you all should be sure to have ordered your passports, and be double checking that the personal information you provided on the explorica website matches your passport and ID information EXACTLY! We definitely don't want to be held up due to identification issues!

More deadlines and info to come!
