After a long day of continuous arrivals at the Newark Airport, all the students are finally here, safe and sound!  Once at the hotel, we checked them in and they were free to explore the hotel. Many of them sat in groups in the lobby, talked excitedly to each other and greeted new students as they arrived throughout the day. We have a total of 51 students from 13 different countries! We also have a wonderful chaperone in our midst. She is quite the world traveler having lived in the Netherlands, China and the United States.

After a nice dinner at the hotel, we held a general orientation with our trip coordinator Kristy. She went through the general rules and guidelines for the trip to make sure we have a fun and safe trip! Everyone is ready to see the incredible skyline and experience the bustle of New York City tomorrow!
