This summer Mr. Mewhorter traveled to London to help prepare for our arrival. We received a great deal of information about our trip and much of it is listed below:
Working Itinerary Please note this is NOT the final itinerary but a working itinerary we received as a starting point. This will give a general idea about what we will do, but there will be an addition or two and the days shown here will probably be switched around some.
Unstructured Time Suggestions During the trip you will have opportunities to form a group of students and adults to go out on the tow and choose your own activities. This document has some suggestions.
Audio Tours Each participant will receive an mp3 player loaded with “audio tours” which helps get you out in London and walking around with the help of a guide. Click the link for more information.
Pub Token Guide Restaurant Choice Guide Each participant will receive vouchers to eat out during one of your unstructured times in London restaurants and pubs (do not worry, the pub token cannot buy alcohol and most of the pubs feel more like a restaurant than a bar, more info at the next meeting).
