Author Topic: i'm going on a spring break trip to d.c. with my school  (Read 2232 times)

yeah, /title

it's $99 which is much cheaper (ironically) than the one at my old school which was like 4 hours closer than where i live (la)

i get to fly on a plane (basically what im looking forward to) and its cheap so im definitely going

and we get to stay in a hotel, ive never been on a trip like this

It's a lot more expensive at my school, each person needs a total of $1000 after initial amount and fundraising.

whoa stuff

it is confusing because it says $99 at one point and then $2000 at another point.

$99 might be a deposit and then $2000 will pay for hotel, plane, etc.

aghahghhgh

i hope not
we dont even have $1k in my house

our school wanted to suck 3000 from us for a 7 day trip, 4 people per room which means 2 people per bed. my parents were like "forget no"

Lol probably it's 2099k total.

I guess you're not going anymore, m8.

I could probably go, its during spring break and we will probably be in a more stable economic state (what with actually getting jobs and stuff.)

never heard of these over night school trips before.
maybe cause the capital is an hours distance away so we just cram in a bus, drive there, and then come back.

whoa stuff
That's because I live in AZ and we get to stay there for a whole week

It was like that for my school too in the 8th grade (two years ago).

So, coincidentally, my birthday was around the time my school went, so a few family members and I went to D.C. and saw a WHOLE LOT more than my school did.

For example, we went into the White House (before it closed to the public), we got to see fresh snow fall (I saw snow for the first time! Florida never gets snow, my school only saw disgusting slush.) and I got to play in the snow.

Very fun historically, very big metropolis type area. Kinda like New York and Chicago, except a bit smaller in size.

Oh, and please be careful, some jerks try to scam you into giving money like other big cities. Almost got robbed in D.C. last time I went.

if you don't get to go don't worry
DC gets old pretty quick. the only places really worth visiting are the smithsonian museums and the more city-like areas, and in my experience, tour groups don't spend much time there...
NYC is cooler imo

the smithsonian is the best part of d.c

Amen. Also, I keep forgetting you live near me.

i really want to do something like this

i remember when i was in elementary i would go on field trips to cool places and my dad would go too and we'd go see things that the rest of the group didn't see

then he would take me home early fun times
