I'd be happy to have a lunch for us at my new apt. before school starts again so we can chill and discuss.

I'm all about getting the train pass now...I'm going to start on my passport, I already ordered my international id I just have to send the proof and picture.

I'm just starting to browse possibilities. I like the look of the second schedule that was posted.

Passports and Paperwork

If you do not already have a passport it's time to start the process of getting one. Generally, the longer you have to get one the cheaper they will be. It's when you have to rush things that it gets really expensive. So start looking into it!!!!

Also, I would like to suggest an International Student ID. I had one last time I was in Europe and it got me into museums at the European Student rate, and lots of other cool benefits. The Moore ID probably wont cut it. They cost about $30 and its done through the mail.

Start compiling this information:

photocopy your driver's license, social security card, and your birth certificate. In the event of a lost passport these will come in handy. Keep them separate from the originals while traveling.

I agree with Audrey, we should get together sometime over break. yeah!!!!

No way!

Don't be silly Claire! We get youth passes till 26! That's a 300$ difference. But yes, we should buy the tickets soon. How about we do another meeting over winter break?
