In response to what airline do u usualy go to London. posted by tenniskid89:

I flew British Airways, but that was back in 2000. I think United and American are options now too. It all depends on the cheapest rate available and who has 40 seats available on a plane.

Geocities.com is a great resource to make free websites.

In response to website posted by Doglover2590:
well unless you want to pay for a website (which i do not suggest untill you understand what you are doing) you should try www.freewebs.com theres an easy mode, and HTML mode. I suggest you learn HTML and do HTML mode because you can be more creative and make your own layouts, but if you dont feel comfortable with that try th eeasy mode. maybe sign up for a cousrse/ search on google for how to make a website.

yeah geocities is good too~

what type of backpacks have you guys used in the past for your trips? Does it need to be really big? I was just wondering what I need so I can make sure I buy the right one

In response to backpacks posted by pinkpalmtree6:

I always took my backpack with me, so I didn't want mine to be too heavy. Although this was true, I didn't want a bag that was too small because I wanted to put souvenirs in there and also a spare change of clothes so I could change out of my polo shirt (this depends on your leaders). I actually went out and bought a soccer bag because they had a lot of space inside but looked like a regular backpack.

That's a piece of cake. Like rachhhh019 had said, FreeWebs is a great webpage designer for beginners. There are also two options; template and HTML.
HTML is internet language, such as which bolds text.
Another website is www.tripod.com. If you want a forum (Message Board) to link to your website, try VBulletin. It is completely free, unless you want the full version, which includes monthly payments.
If you want to change your domain, I suggest www.dot.tk.
If you need any help, I'm here. I also have some experience in Macromedia Flash 8, which I can help you with to make your website. (It's basically a program that allows you to create interactive multi-media.)
Well, if you've had the patience to read all of this. Please continue.

It is really a great program and very safe. I was leary of it also at first, until my godson went on a trip and I learned more from their experience. Once you decide to send your child and start going to the meetings you start to understand it much better. I went to every meeting. It truly is run very professionally. My daughter went to Austrailia last summer and is going on another trip this summer to Europe. The children have alot of work to do for the trip. They receive a high school credit for passing all the requirements. They have homework every month and a presentation to do. A community service project is done here in the US and once overseas. They have to keep journals and do assignments once they are on the trip also. It is very educational but also fun for the kids. They have strict safety rules for the kids and go over everything with the kids but also with the parents. I recommend the program and only wish I could go, too bad they don't have a program for adults.

They actually do have one for adults. It is just called Ambassador Programs. Their trips are geared for different occupations. For example, you can go to China and learn about their medical programs; you can go to India and learn about law. They have programs for education, medicine, science and technology, social sciences, law, arts and humanities, agriculture, business, and culture. Their website is http://www.ambassadorprograms.org/. Because I am only in college, I have no had the opportunity to travel with them yet, but I hope to sometime in my future. The great thing about the adult program is that they have trips to destinations that your children would not be able to go to. They have trips to Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, South Africa, China, and Antarctica. If any of the parents here are interested, I highly recommend it. Age does not matter. A woman who was in her seventies went with People to People International to Egypt. Anything is possible with this program! If you are interested in humanitarian work, People to People International has trips to Peru and Egypt. People to People International also has students trips to Morocco, Egypt, and Jordan. After students are finished traveling with Ambassador Programs, their experience with People to People does not have to end. If anyone, students or parents, has any questions, please email me. Thanks!
