We have flight details!

Today we got an email with our flight details! We leave Auckland on the 5th of September with Emirates flying to Dubai where we stay for about 4 hours and then fly on to...ROME!! YAY! We come home on the 6th of July 2014.

Now that we have our host families and flight details this is so so real!! Soon we should get a list of all of the other students going to Italy and then we'll meet them at the orientation camp in Wellington which we're going to at the end of May. We're planing on making a YouTube video at this camp so stay tuned! :)

I have a host family! :D - Emily

So today I was at school when I got an email from AFS to say I HAVE A HOST FAMILY!! :D They sound so amazing and I'm so happy they're going to be my family. I can't wait to talk to them! They live in Cesena which is in the north of Italy in the region Emilia-Romagna which is one of the places I really wanted to go to in Italy!! I have two sisters one who's about 6 months older than me and one about 6 months younger, a Mum and a Dad... oh and a pet hamster which is so cool because we don't have hamsters in NZ!! They honestly sound so perfect!! SO HAPPPPPPYYYY!! :D

In the newspaper again!

Some of our friends at school told us the other day they had seen us in the newspaper again! This time it's about the donation that the Lion's Club kindly gave us.

Time's going so fast and soon even we'll be in Italia :D We've been told we should get flight details this month which will make the whole thing seem so much more real! 149 days until September!! BRING IT ON! :)
