Tentative Calendar

Here is a link to the tentative calendar we are working on for the trip with the new dates. I know that parents have been wondering about prices. I just updated the price for the jungle trip and so far flights are still around 1000, after taxes. I should have a price for the language school in the next few days, because we have been ironing out details with them this week. The price is really going to depend on how many students we can get to go though so talk to friends about this!
Here's the calendar:
