          I should add, as your business class instructor, this class is TAX DEDUCTABLE!!! (seriously) : )

          Speaking of which, your entire SVS subscription is tax deductable too!

                    Oh man this sounds great! I'm going to see if I can go, and yes it really depends on the schedule. In the mean time, let try to save up some more money.
                    @shinjifujioka good idea!

                          I land another contract between now and then...this could be a real possibility. Haha the new deck can wait. 😛 My hubby agreed to 5 days with the kids a few years back when we had an infant and a 3 year old running around while I went to an Adv Illustrator Workshop. It was wonderful, though I missed him and my littles, but ITALY and art...wow. He's awesome sauce so if the money lands right this may not be out of the realm of possibility. Tax deductable is a good selling point. PS I hate flying! Lol

                            I'm in, unless something major comes up between now and then.

                              What do you think are the chances of being able to wrangle 18 people for this trip? Do you have any plans to offer to people outside of SVS, too? Or is it for SVS only.

                                Not sure what the chances are. I think they are good. But that is sort of what this post is supposed to evaluate. We could bring other people outside SVS. We would be grouped with other schools and universities anyway. That's how we can get those prices. Unless we get enough to really do the full thing on our own. I think it would be the trip of a lifetime.

                                      If it is in october 2016, count me in! (I have my final exam October 5th and have almost a month off after that, yeah! The timing would be soooooo perfect!) If it is in spring 2017, might be able to join also!

                                          It is a tour Spain to France and ending with drawing on location in Italy. 😃 Pretty sweet! Maybe the trip title should be changed for clarity. 😛
