Going on a trip with 34 7th graders

AOSR has one week long middle school trips for each grade level. I was asked to be a chaperone on the grade 7 trip. We had 34 students go on this trip. I was assigned a group of 8 to keep track of for the week. We left school at 6:45 am on Monday March 12. Our first surprise was our bus. It was the bus used for the All Blacks New Zealand Rugby team any time they are anywhere in Europe. It was very new and very comfortable.
Our first stop was Mt. Vesuvius. I had been there with Doug and his family in January and the weather was not good. This time it was way worse. It was so foggy that we could hardly see, the wind was blowing very hard, and it was so wet due to heavy mist and light rain that our clothes got wet no matter how water proof they were supposed to be. See our non-view on the right.


We stopped for lunch about on our way to Pompeii. We ate some great food on the trip.
 It did not rain in Pompeii but one tour guide for our large group was not a good idea. It was hard to hear. I was glad I had gone in January with Doug and his famiiy.
After Pompeii it was back to the bus and we ended up at the Amalfii coast for some quick views and then off to our hotel for the night.

 Dinner was yummy pizza which we got to see the chefs make. Then they surprised our students with a tasty welcome cake. -Nancy
