All Our Bags Are Packed...

We're ready to go, with just one day left before our departure to the Dominican Republic. Our teachers are finalizing their plans and getting ready to leave, whereas I have spent the day calling our contacts on the ground and finalizing our visits. Our Dominican hosts are so excited to welcome us. In fact, for Escuela Brasil (a public school in Santo Domingo), we will be the first group of American visitors they have had come to their school. They have invited all levels of administrators from across the district to join us on our visit and engage in the cultural exchange that will take place. It should be a wonderful trip!

We are all meeting at Logan early tomorrow morning for our 3 and a half hour flight to Santo Domingo. We'll be sure to post tomorrow night to let you know about our first experiences in country.

This map is a detailed image of the DR's southern coast. We will be visiting the capital (Santo Domingo), San Cristobal (to the West), Cambita Garabitos (Northwest of San Cristobal), and Juan Dolio (to the East). Click on the image to zoom in and see where we are headed.
