GAPP Introduction and Welcome

Hi, welcome to Jim and Krista Juczak's GAPP trip 2007. Seventeen students plus Lisa Juczak, 10, from South Jefferson Central and Belleville-Henderson Central Schools have banded together to spend the next month in Emden, on the North Sea coast bordering the Netherlands. Our partner school is Johannes-Althusius Gymnasium in Emden.

We have left Syracuse and New York State behind, and are waiting in Detroit to board our flight to Amsterdam. Tomorrow morning, when we arrive in Amsterdam we will transfer to our last plane to Bremen. Our GAPP host school teachers will meet us at the plane, and we will travel the final leg by bus to Emden. Expected arrival time is noon GMT+ 1 (6 AM Eastern).

Expect regular student journal entries and photo albums. The trip is from July 2 through 24.
