Anybody ever heard of it or been on one of the trips?
I was invited to it and we went to the orientation thing today. It sounds pretty fun to me but costs a pretty a penny. It's a 19 day trip to England and France. We get to do things like see the changing of the gaurds, go to the top of the Eifel (sp?) tower, ride the biggest faris wheel in the world, go to a castle, go the Louve (sp? the museum with the Mona Lisa), and a bunch of other stuff if we go.
Apparently it was started by President Eisenhower and isn't the easiest thing to get into. You have to get two teacher recomendations and one recomendation from an adult that's not related to you. Then go through an interview. There was about 150 or so people at the orientation that were invited and only 40 can go on the trip.
Has anyone done anything like this before?
