Today Mark two weeks from my departure to Tripoli, Lebanon. Why was my family going to Lebanon? It's a long story but I'll start at the beginning. In Social Studies my teacher assigned me a project where I had to go on to Kiva (a micro lending website) and pick one person to learn as much as I could about. We then had to make a keynote on that person, and if it was approved, we would then get a free $25 to lend to that person. I felt I had a real connection to Mirvate, the person I was lending to, so we attempted to make contact with her through Kiva. We succeeded and before we knew it we decided to book a trip to Lebanon. Now everything seems fine and dandy, but before we could go we needed to work out some logistics.
The most cost-effective flight we found cost around $1000 per person one way. It had two stops; one in Chicago and one in London. The estimated time on the way up was around 19 hours, and on the way back it was around 21. My family decided that this is the most cost-effective flight, after all with me going to Santa Barbara Middle School we had to save as much money as we could. Now all we could do is wait until the time came to board the plane.

I really enjoyed reading your blog! I really like how you describe your settings with your exempt vocabulary. My favorite part of your visit was when you went to explore the ruins. That sounds really fun and interesting! Amazing job!
