1 (D -130) [Day 1] HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!! The year when a group of Uiad students learning English will be going to the USA, The Far West: Los Angeles, The National Parks, San Francisco.

January 1st --> May 10th: 130 days before we leave, 130 days to get ready.

There are guide books and so much information on the internet about where we are going. Almost TOO MUCH information. So, I did some information shopping for you during the holidays.

This blog is for you: the students who are going, but also for those who won't be with us but can take this trip by reading this blog.

130 days until May 11th, and every day you can come to this blog for little bits of information about the places we are going to visit.

So come and join us! Sometimes just a short sentence or two. Sometimes a paragraph. Sometimes very easy English. Sometimes a little more complex. Sometimes I'll give you a site you can go to for more information. Sometimes you can read; sometimes you can see photos; sometimes you can listen.

Using your English to discover the Far West.

A trip for everyone.

Let's get started on this first day of the year:

1. (D-130) The distance between Grenoble and Los Angeles is 9554 kilometers (5936 miles), as the crow flies. ("à vol d'oiseau"; "crow" = "corbeau")

What a trip!

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' ON SUCH A WINTER'S DAY!
