Berlin, Prague, Krakow and Budapest 2014

!!! check this website often as Travel Information will be updated as often as I get it!!!

This is an official MDCPS field trip. Therefore you must bring a Parent Permission form signed by all your teachers and all sections filled out by your parents.

If you can, I recommend that IN ADDITION TO EUROS you also obtain local currency from the countries were are visiting: Czech Republic (koruna), Poland (złoty), Hungary (forint). You can do so at a Currency Exchange International. If you mention MAST Academy then you will not be charged a transaction fee at their Aventura, Dadeland or Dolphin Mall locations.

  1. Be aware that the most expensive charge when you are roaming is the data roaming, and if you buy any international package with your Telecommunication provider , the data megas always will be less than the young people use. Also if they bring their phone the will be automatically roaming so they must be aware to disable the data roaming from their phone and use internet only when they have WIFI connection. Remember that if they do not disable the data roaming the phone at least Iphones will be doing roaming
