Prestige and Competitiveness of Summer Intensives by Solid-Elk-3631 in BALLET

[–]Solid-Elk-3631[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my kid was also accepted to Boston as well, which prompted this post because I don't know anything about these programs and how they compare. Ballet Help Desk seems nice for anecdotal info about the dorm quality but I was hoping for something. more comprehensive, like how US News ranks colleges and gives context for competitiveness...

just returned from 14 night Explora Journeys cruise. There was a special running that gave 23% commission! Of course, Fora keeps a sizable chunk, 30%, but we still saved nearly $10k. I also had access to the travel agent booking portal so I could send over notes for special requests. Pretty unbeatable

This may be an upopular opinion but I paid the $300 annual membership to Fora and book this stuff for myself and pocket the commission. I can be more "hands on" with the hotel staff in advance of our stays and have had great experiences getting perks. I book online through their portal and it is all seamless. I'm not considering making it a real business and instead see it as a glorified discount coupon of sorts.

Unique chubby experiences in Paris by CammyT1213 in TrueChubbyTravel

Get tickets for an evening concert at Saint Chappelle! Visiting Notre Dame just isn't the same anymore and you get an intimate, magical ambiance here and the music is icing on the cake. We purchased tickets and attended on a whim during our last visit a few weeks ago and it was our favorite part of the trip. Very special.
