| [> Subject: So in two months, you and your family members should make arrangements, get passports, and save enough money for a week in the Bahamas. I think the idea is great, but the timing sucks | |

| [> Subject: The Bahamas is beautiful, but it is not cost effective for most families. I think this was particularly poor planning on the part of MUO, and although a wonderful experience for each and every girl, I cant imagine that a great deal of family members could attend. Shame on MUO for this one! | |

| [> Subject: Just went there on a vacation and we saved for a year to afford it. Good luck getting passports takes 6 months, they are really far behind issuing them. My son almost did not get his. I sent for it 9 months ago and got it the same week we left. Poor planning. | |
