Privileged Access Distinguishes Upcoming Trips

04-17-2008

 





Academic Arrangements Abroad's educational travel programs are distinguished by special events, behind-the-scenes visits and private access. Many of these highlights are not posted on our Website or described in our brochures.

As a member of the Society of American Travel Writers, we thought that you might be interested in learning about a few of the "special touches" on several upcoming trips (all of which are scheduled to be repeated in 2009).
