When: Depart early Thursday, April 8, 2010; Return late evening Sunday, April 11.

Where: Port Royals Condos at Port Aransas, Texas. Go to www.port-royal.com to see information about the condos.

Cost: Maximum of $275 with plenty of fundraising to help pay for your trip.

In an effort to get on top of planning this year's trip and making it as successful and fun as possible, submit your plans for this trip online.

After finding your student's name, there is a button to select whether or not your student is planning on going and how many adults from your family will be going (if any). Please only fill in "# of adults" in the parent (or last) column.

We would like to encourage as many parents as possible go on this trip, either as a chaperone or as an attendee. This is not a contract. We're just trying to get an idea of how many people to plan for. This is important in order to make transportation plans (bus contracts) and to know how many condo rooms to reserve.

We'll be sending out additional information, including a request for volunteers to help with planning, in the coming months; but, if you have questions you'd like answered now feel free to e-mail hanthorn4 [at] yahoo [dot] com.

Thanks for your help in getting this important part of the trip planning started.
