[QUOTE="ksm, post: 457668, member: 12511"] I wish we lived closer to Washington Difficult Child. We live in the central part of USA and our middle school is pushing a trip (4 days, 3 nights) thru a tavevl agency named Worldstrides. Anyway, they want $1700 per child. Now it does include flights, but it is 4 kids to a room and fast food meals. How many families can afford to send a child. The brochure said they had "Fund Raisers" but when I read it, they suggested the child send out a letter of email asking for "sponsors" for the trip. I hated to disappoint my daughter but we just had to say no. She took it better than I thought she would - but she didn't see anything wrong with asking people for money for her to have a trip. I don't think she would have wanted me to go with her. Plus it cost $2000 for adults. I told her all four of us could have a week long cruise for less that 3,700! A lot less! KSM [/QUOTE]
