Please, stick around to meet the new participants and share your experience with them. I know one of your colleagues, Joe, is travelling this time, so I bet he's going to get some first-hand advice about the trip. :) Hugs, Carla Thanks Clara!

I remember some of the girls tried to buy a transformer there but it was impossible. So, it could be a good idea to take one with you. As regards the project, I did have something in mind before traveling. As you can see, I am interested in online exchanges. But if you still don't, maybe you'll come up with an idea on the spot. I'm sure the teachers there will be able to help you out. Hugs, Carla Hi, Paola,

It's to recharge the batteries of the digi cam, not big deal. Another thing, did u have in mind a project to carry out in argentina before going to texas? I keep thinking about it, but since I'm not sure about what we are going to do there, I find it really hard. As far as I heard we are taking some courses on methodology, US culture... take care kisses Pao Carla, I was wondering about the voltage of electricity there.

I'll answer your question here so that everybody can read it. When we traveled, we stayed at an Extended Stay Hotel.Each of us shared the room with another teacher. In fact, María Clara Simoni was my roommate!!! The rooms were very comfortable. They have two big beds, a TV, a desk and a small kitchen. This was our hotel's site, check it out: http://www.homesteadhotels.com/minisite/?hotelID=1 Important: Each room also has an iron and a hair dryer, so don't carry any of these as I did!! Regards, Carla Hi again, Paola!
