Mexico: The Gulf of Campeche

(with Xel-Ha and Tulum Excursion)

 

Dear Parents and Students,

 

I am pleased to announce a multilingual field trip to Mexico: The Gulf of Campeche for the Summer 2009. This trip is open to all SMRHS language students and their families. The more the merrier to experience the beauty and enchantment of these fabulous cities. The trip is an amazing one that would appeal to a wide variety of interests. The dates are set for June 15 – June 23, 2009, approximately a week after the school year lets out. The total cost for students is $1746 and $2036 for adults. This price is all inclusive for airfare, food, hotels, transportation around Mexico, admission fees, everything! If you are interested in getting a detailed quote, please click here. The only money you may want to bring is for one meal a day, snacks, and souvenirs. On the back of this sheet is the itinerary for the trip – or you can look it up online and see everything in color! Go to www.eftours.com and punch in the trip number below. You can look at the trip itinerary without actually registering. You can also take the opportunity on the website to sign up for the tour. Also, for every 6 students to sign up, a chaperone goes free. Once we figure out how many students are going on the trip, I will have a raffle among the adults signed up for the trip for however many free trips we are able to sponsor.

 

What to do to sign up:

*      You can register online or by phone. Online is preferred because an email will automatically be sent to directly to me to let me know you enrolled.

To enroll students online:

1.      Visit www.eftours.com

2.      Click on the “For Students/ Parents” tab at the top of the page

      3.   Students may enroll by using your Tour Number: 601306

4.      You can also sign up over the phone at 1-800-665-5364

You do not need to pay in full now, but the entire trip needs to be paid in full by March 2009. You only need a $95 deposit to sign up and you can schedule your payments from there. If you pay in full when you register, you will receive a discount on the total price. We need people to register as soon as possible in order to lock in prices and reservations.

 

Please consider joining us on this great adventure! It will prove to be a lasting memory for you and your students – or your whole family! Anyone – SMRHS students and their families– are welcomed to join in the trip. It is also a fantastic present to give to a senior for Graduation. Please feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions.

 

See you soon!                             Gloria Dempsey  gdempsey@smrhs.org
