Eurotrip24 Preview

Just about a week ago, nearly 30 students and staff of Saugus Middle High School returned from Eurotrip23.  It was an amazing experience. If you want to relive the excitement and check out the trip follow this link to read the trip's blog, “Where in the World is Mr. Lavoie?”  Now that we are back, I wanted to provide you with some additional information regarding our next European adventure scheduled for April break of 2024.

Next year, we are planning to visit some of my favorite places and we already have over a dozen students enrolled.  The trip will begin in the Netherlands. Here, we will visit the canals of this beautiful city. We will also explore the home of Anne Frank.  Amsterdam is such an interesting place to see especially in April when the tulips have started to bloom.

Following Amsterdam, we will travel to Belgium. Our tour in Brussels will include visiting the sites of the European Union, the Grand-Place, and a chocolate factory…where the kids will make some of their own sweets.  Home to the waffle, Belgium is an incredibly friendly place that will be an instant highlight for the kids.

After leaving the low country, we will make our way into France to explore the City of lights, Paris. In Paris, we will see all of the major sites including a visit into the Louvre.  While our visit in this magical city is brief, we will have time, as a group, to explore some of the interesting neighborhoods and foods that Paris has to offer.  

Departing Paris, we will take the Eurostar underneath the English Channel for our final destination in London. We will see the city from the heights of the London Eye and the depths of the Tube. London, as a capstone of our trip, will also include an excursion to the mystical rock formation at Stonehenge.

This 11 day trip is sure to be an exciting and safe way to begin your child’s journey into seeing the world.  If you think this trip is for your child, then please explore the trip website at: www.eftours.com/2576808ff. You are able to enroll from that website if you’d like.

If you would like to hear more about this trip, then I welcome you to attend an online, virtual, information session on Thursday, May 11th. I will begin our meeting at 6pm and it should not last more than an hour. I also wanted to note that I am not currently planning on running a trip in 2025. I hope to resume Eurotrips beginning in 2026, but cannot commit to a tour at this time.

Please reserve your spot for the meeting by clicking the reservation link. I will email the Zoom link as we approach the 11th.
