Environment online monitoring

Environmental analyzer’s recording and reporting

Environment online monitoring

Monitoring in the environment means tracking and examining environmental contaminants , which are mainly the main causes are industries and health centers . Online monitoring allows to be constantly informed of the future information of the contaminant unit . This information can be used to direct sources of pollution to control it and to record information for environmental departments to track . There are different standards for monitoring equipment in different groups , in each country requiring compliance with geographical conditions and state-of-the-art technology should meet those standards from polluting industries or sources . Among these standards are deal with the quality of air , soil , wastewater and evanescence .

Online monitoring

Online monitoring

Online monitoring consists of two words which means monitoring and online which means being on line. Monitoring is used in a number of groups that the Abargan site performs in the monitoring of service status that provide us Monitoring the situation with the use of information measurement tools with a variety of industries, medical environmental multimedia and aviation ... Status monitoring called the simple digital recording controller of events and the ability to report monitoring . For example , in our homes a refrigerator uses at least one cooling sensor . This sensor , which is a measuring tool , is now responsible for controlling the performance of that device or machine, but is also called monitored information when it is digitally stored and later accessible . The purpose of online monitoring is to monitor the situation online. As the data monitored by different packets are connected to a data center , packets from the small internal network to the large Internet connection are all online because they are live and momently information . Abargan Group is active in the field of online monitoring . the company's achievements can be made of :

  • RUT and Abargan data logger with dynamic communicative protocol and capability of writing protocol without the need for re-programming
  • The fully native data logger and reporting software which design and is developing by this company .
  • control and smartification software of Complex industrial from small scale to industrial monitoring of large scale up to 4 million parameters per second.

Online monitoring of water and sewage

Generally , online monitoring of water and sewage is carried out at the request of the EPA (Environment protection agency) or its regional water company . Its purpose is to measure the contamination of effluents continuously from various industrial treatment plants and also the instantaneous monitoring of water resources , including rivers , lakes , dams and others . Water and wastewater monitoring in both areas requires its own sensors and analyzers . Mainly parameters which measured in terms of urban water quality and other water sources are different from the parameters which consider in the wastewater . Water and wastewater online monitoring sensors and equipment are usually similar in terms of body strength when props are placed in acidic environments and also sealing . But the scope of their measurement varies widely .

Water and wastewater contamination measurement by optical analyzers with spectroscopic principles is currently common . The selection of analyzers in this group is not wide due to the low variety of brands and products available (due to the boycott) and the applicant who has the enough knowledge for searching, will come up with selective point in short time .

Top brands are usually European and American that share of support services and sales agents are at European disposal . Abargan is currently one of the few manufacturers of some of the quality parameters of wastewater quality measurement parameter in the country , since Abargan imports all parts of existing analyzers from abroad and is currently sufficient to assemble Iranian branded products has made us more successful in providing support and warranty services than other brands . The R&D team (research and development) is committed to achieving further mass production and coverage goals .

Environmental analyzer Abargan

Benefits of Abargan analyzer :

  • Contractor of Iranian manufacturer
  • 40% Saving against Exterior Model (Exactly like Quality of Exterior Parts)
  • 2-year unconditional warranty and 10 years after-sales service
  • Send information to EPA without any additional hardware
  • Persian User Panel for use in industrial units
  • Payment Terms

Online monitoring of environment air

Metropolitan Pollution Monitoring Stations are the customers of this group . To check the ambient air status according to the guidelines of the National Environmental Agency , the parameters of Pm2.5 , Sox , Nox , Q3 are considered for the ambient air group , which are shown in the urban panels showing pollution quality . Measuring the ambient air quality of the analyzers selected in this field up to installation , commissioning , calibration , maintenance , repair and supply of components , a dedicated operator with spend time and cost is choice of model that can provide adequate accuracy if all maintenance conditions are met . At present , about one hundred points in the country are selected from this model as a portable or stationary station for mounting racks and measuring instruments , which are usually racks . The space is equipped with heating and cooling air conditioning . The ambient air quality monitoring chamber are shortly consisting of service analyzers , air conditioning , cooling , heating , sampling and data logger analyzer tubes , calibration gases , events and measurements performed by the analyzers to record events ... equipment of device condition is very important . Therefore , it is recommended to use invalid inputs such as 2 to 4 mA in the parameters that are possible to obtain digital information form , and this is important since the devices are always challenged with the maintenance and operation status of the components . Currently , more than 100 points in the country are equipped with ambient air measurements , but the accuracy and quality of their measurements does not reach , on average, 35% of the analysis . Thus , the very poor statistics of an output and low efficiency resulted in very high costs. Our experts in the RBDD section of the company have developed solutions for the design of the online ambient air monitoring system in accordance with the regulations of the National Environmental Agency's guidelines and conditions of use. Provides flue gas (combustion) analyzers and ambient air analyzers with different choices in quality and accuracy . Abargan customers receive 2-years warranty replacement and 2-years free service on all of its products . Product design focuses on quality and sustainability . These factors , along with proportional to the country's needs , which are very cheap at beside of foreign competitors , and the ability to contract directly with the manufacturer and have domestic support and abundant supply of parts due to domestic production can meet the needs of industry and the environment . The customer selects the type of blower and internal parts and goes into details of the product and can make changes to all parts of the product after production . these are due to grace of the Iranian manufacturer . It should be noted that the main parts of the device in the sensor section are often imported parameters and have environmental certifications approved .

Flue gas analyzer (combustion)

Combustion contamination measuring instruments are commonly called chimney analyzers . The choice of a chimney analyzer is based on the range of contamination , moisture content and exhaust heat , and the build quality is very important due to the poor use conditions . Such analyzers are available in both In-Situ and Extractive models , and are always In-Situ if the price is favored by customers, with In-Situ vacuum pumps and mechanical valves providing greater maintenance and accuracy , so they have more stability and accuracy . In this model , sampling and analysis are more realistic and results with the least error . Abargan Environmental Company offers a product called Nanolight-B series-95401 designed and manufactured in 1994 . This analyzer has all the support services .

Instantaneous monitoring system

With instant and online monitoring of industries and their activities , we can monitor, control and manage the level of pollution of each individual , which helps to protect the environment . Instantaneous monitoring systems are designed based on the type of industry and application . The parameters are measured in the instantaneous monitoring systems by the sensors . There are mainly two methods of measurement :

 Submersible or in-situ

Submersible or submersible sensors are incorporated into the fluid . In some cases , sensors immersed in the fluid can be installed bypass .

flow-through or bypass

In flow-through methods , water or waste water is pumped into a container . These methods usually use peristaltic pumps . These methods are two models as mentioned above . In the simpler model , the same immersed in-fluid sensors are installed inside a pipe path and components called flow-cells without any changes . In more complete methods after sample suction into the device , chemical analysis is performed on it , also known as the extractive model
After the parameters have been measured by the sensors , the information is sent to monitoring facility by a hardware (RTU) . This information is also aggregated by an analytics software , making it usable for subscriber organizations . Abargan has succeeded in designing and manufacturing hardware (RTU) and software for data aggregation and analysis . If you require further information or are sure of a suitable approach for your project , please contact Abargan Company .

Petition checkers work to kick hopefuls off ballots

November 6, 2009 (CHICAGO) The board is reviewing petitions, hoping to find reasons to challenge signatures gathered by opposing candidates.

Petition checkers are the secret soldiers of so many political armies. Dozens of people--most of whom would not reveal their names-- were using every available computer terminal on three different floors Friday at the Chicago Board of Elections.

When asked what he was looking for, one checker told ABC7 Chicago, "I'd rather not go into the discussion. I'm just following my instructions."

"Your instruction from whom?" asked ABC7 political reporter Charles Thomas.

"That doesn't matter," the man responded.

The man admitted later that he was an employee of Circuit Clerk Dorothy Brown. He said, on his day off, he was looking for unqualified signatures on the nominating petitions of county Board President Todd Stroger, whom Brown is challenging in the 2010 Democratic primary.

Stroger filed around 20,000 signatures Monday. If Brown's truth squad can invalidate about 12,000 of those, Stroger gets kicked off the ballot.

"So, who do you hand these sheets to after you've reviewed them?" Thomas asked one worker.

"The coordinator for this particular project," said petition reviewer David Moses.

When asked who that person was, Moses responded, "He's not around right now."

The city election board has a waiting list of people who want to review petitions for dozens of local and state races. And to accommodate them, the office will stay open late Friday and have weekend hours.

"A lot of signatures come from Chicago. So, a lot of signature-checking is happening here at the Chicago Board," said Jim Allen of the Chicago Board of Elections.

State Senator Rickey Hendon, who filed for lieutenant governor, says his petition checkers are in a battle with those sent by the state Democratic party chairman.

"Mike Madigan's workers, precinct captains, state employees [are] working to kick me off the ballot," said Hendon.

The alleged Madigan workers--like most other people here--refused to identify themselves or their bosses to ABC7 Chicago. Hendon, meanwhile, who has done this every election for decades, just brought his own troops to respond in kind. "They're going to try to knock me off the ballot. So, I'm trying to knock his boy, Art Turner, off the ballot. It's as simple as that. It's a war. I'm not complaining," Hendron said.

That's ABC7's look at some of the ugly mechanics of Chicago politics. Some may recall that Barack Obama won his first Illinois Senate primary election after he knocked the incumbent off the ballot because her petitions were not valid.

241 NYPD officers have died from 9/11 illnesses, 10 times the number killed in World Trade Center attack

Dozens of officers have died of illnesses since the attack on the Twin Towers.

September 9, 2019, 6:25 PM

More than 10 times the number of NYPD police officers have died in the 18 years since 9/11 as were killed in the terror attack on the World Trade Center itself, officials said.

The grim statistic comes in the wake of a protracted battle for funding to compensate ill first responders and other survivors as well as the families of those who died. President Trump recently signed into law a permanent extension of the funding for the Victim Compensation Fund, which would have run out of money by December 2020.

And while the most common killer has been cancer, new research suggests that cardiovascular disease is markedly higher in responders who were first on the scene as well as those who spent protracted periods of time on the pile.

To date, 241 members of the NYPD died of 9/11-related illnesses -- compared to the 23 killed in the attack on the World Trade Center.

“The unfortunate part is that number continues to grow,” Deputy Commissioner Robert Ganley told ABC News. “It’s heartbreaking. It’s very sad. It’s sad for the department. It’s sad for the families left behind.”

The last 18 years have been just as devastating for the fire department.

Twenty-two members of the FDNY have died of 9/11-related illnesses since the last anniversary. On Friday afternoon their names will be added to the FDNY World Trade Center Memorial Wall.

“Dedicated to the memory of those who bravely served this department protecting life and property in the City of New York in the rescue and recovery effort at Manhattan box 5-5-8087 World Trade Center,” the wall’s inscription reads.

“This solemn wall is a poignant and permanent reminder of the sacrifice of all that responded on September 11th and toiled for weeks and months at the World Trade Center searching for the innocent lives taken that day,” said Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro. “Because of their dedication and bravery, each year the already staggering loss suffered by the FDNY continues to grow as illnesses claimed the lives of those who so bravely served our city.”

To date, 202 FDNY members have died of illnesses related to their service on Sept. 11 or in the immediate aftermath. In the attack itself, 343 members died.

Meanwhile, for the first time, researchers are linking high exposure to 9/11 World Trade Center dust with the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.

Firefighters who were first on the scene were 44% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than firefighters who arrived the next day, according to a new study published Friday in the medical journal JAMA Network Open by Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University.

“The increase in risk was significant, even taking into account known CVD risk factors such as age, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking,” said study leader David J. Prezant, M.D., a professor of medicine at Einstein and chief medical officer of the FDNY.

The length of time that firefighters worked at the disaster site, either more or less than six months, was also linked to higher rates of cardiovascular disease. Those who worked on the pile for six months or more were 30% more likely to have experienced a heart attack or stroke.

The findings, while not conclusive, show cardiovascular conditions should be added to the list of 9/11 diseases covered under a federal law that provides compensation to first responders, Prezant said.

Missing News; MWP, LIA found in Tibet

Nothing thus far on ABC news, or Science about this paper published in the Chinese Science Bulletin. Figure 5 has some interesting historical trends and future forecasts that seem at odds with the official story being promoted by Auntie.

Amplitudes, rates, periodicities and causes of temperature variations in the past 2485 years and future trends over the central-eastern Tibetan Plateau.
LIU Yu, CAI QiuFang, SONG HuiMing, AN ZhiSheng & Hans W. LINDERHOLM
Chinese Science Bulletin
October 2011 Vol.56 No.28-29: 29862994
doi: 10.1007/s11434-011-4713-7
Amplitudes, rates, periodicities, causes and future trends of temperature variations based on tree rings for the past 2485 years on the central-eastern Tibetan Plateau were analyzed. The results showed that extreme climatic events on the Plateau, such as the Medieval Warm Period, Little Ice Age and 20th Century Warming appeared synchronously with those in other places worldwide. The largest amplitude and rate of temperature change occurred during the Eastern Jin Event (343–425 AD), and not in the late 20th century. There were significant cycles of 1324 a, 800 a, 199 a, 110 a and 2–3 a in the 2485-year temperature series. The 1324 a, 800 a, 199 a and 110 a cycles are associated with solar activity, which greatly affects the Earth surface temperature. The long-term trends (>1000 a) of temperature were controlled by the millennium-scale cycle, and amplitudes were dominated by multi-century cycles. Moreover, cold intervals corresponded to sunspot minimums. The prediction indicated that the temperature will decrease in the future until to 2068 AD and then increase again.

Poland has some of the strictest abortion laws in Europe. Izabela Sajbor’s family say those laws are responsible for her death

By Saskya Vandoorne and Melissa Bell, CNN
Wed June 29, 2022

Warsaw, Poland (CNN) Izabela Sajbor knew for weeks that the baby she was carrying was unlikely to live long. On September 22 last year, she realized both their fates were sealed.

"I hope I won't get sepsis because then I won't leave this place," the 30-year-old wrote in a series of distraught text messages to her mother, just 12 hours before she died.

Abortion as a Human Right: The Fight for Reproductive Rights in Argentina and Poland

Jaya Nayar

On September 22, 2021, a 30-year-old Polish woman named Izabela died of septic shock at the hospital after her unborn baby’s heart stopped beating. Her death initiated waves of protests across Poland and was seen as the direct consequence of a near total ban on abortion passed in 2020, which outlawed the termination of pregnancies even in the case of fetal defects. Under this new law, unlawful abortion could lead to up to eight years in prison. Terrified of the law and of its potential consequences, Izabela’s doctors waited too long to terminate the pregnancy despite knowing the potential risks for the mother—resulting in her death.

The case of Poland sheds light on a puzzling contemporary phenomenon. The right to abortion has recently been under attack in several countries where it was previously legalized in the late 20th century. In September 2021, the US Supreme Court refused to block legislation in Texas that would ban terminations of pregnancy after six weeks, which is after many women are even aware that they are pregnant. In Turkey, where abortion has been legal since 1983, President Erdogan’s conservative position on abortion is making it increasingly difficult for women to access abortions in public hospitals.

Poland abortion laws: Woman’s death spurs calls for change

Izabel’s case has intensified demands to loosen Poland’s laws, which are among the most restrictive in Europe.

By Urooba Jamal, Al Jazeera
1 Dec 2021

If Anka Adamczyk were to ever have a child, she would leave Poland to give birth. “It’s … super scary,” the 35-year-old told Al Jazeera by phone from Warsaw. “The consequences are so horrible that I would really not take the risk.”

She is among the women who are now struggling to even consider childbirth because of the country’s strict abortion laws, which have seen doctors refuse to terminate pregnancies even when complications pose a fatal risk.

Poland: Escalating Threats to Women Activists

Human Rights Watch
March 31, 2021

(Berlin) – Bomb and death threats targeting at least seven groups in Poland for supporting women’s rights and the right to abortion are disturbing reminders of escalating risks to women’s human rights defenders in the country, Human Rights Watch, CIVICUS, and International Planned Parenthood Federation-European Network (IPPF-EN) said today.

The authorities should urgently investigate, protect the women targeted and hold those responsible for the threats accountable. Polish officials should also counter abusive misinformation campaigns targeting activists.

Poland’s Recent Abortion Ban

The PiS, the Catholic Church, and the Denial of Basic Human Rights

By Enora Lauvau
On Feb 21, 2021
The McGill International Review

Known to be a conservative Roman Catholic nation, Poland has long been home to fierce debate over abortion rights, with the two opposing sides consisting of traditionalists and those advocating a more progressive agenda. Tensions reached an all-time high last October, as the country’s Constitutional Tribunal ruled to further increase the restrictions on legal abortions. Already, Poland had some of the most stringent abortion laws in Europe, with abortion been legal in only three cases: fetal abnormalities, a direct threat to the woman’s health, and rape or incest. In a decision made on October 22, 2020, however, the court declared abortions in the case of congenital defects illegal, on the basis that the Polish Constitution protects human life. Considering that out of the mere 1,100 abortions that legally occurred in Poland last year, 98 per cent of them were for this reason, such a decision essentially ensures that those seeking abortions will either be forced to leave the country or perform them at home, both of which will put their health at risk and leave them vulnerable to legal prosecution. Already, women’s rights groups estimate that between 80,000 to 150,000 citizens get abortions outside of Poland’s health system each year.

Poland – ‘Women’s rights are being trampled’

Voices from a protest march in Warsaw over Poland's near-total abortion ban

By Kuba Kaminski, Antonia Mortensen and Laura Smith-Spark, CNN Sun January 31, 2021

Warsaw, Poland — The protesters who marched through the Polish capital's icy streets on Friday night had a clear message for the government over its imposition this week of a near-total ban on abortions: We will stand up for women's rights.

It was the third day of protests since the ruling came into effect -- and marked 100 days of protests since Poland's constitutional tribunal court first handed down its controversial ruling, sparking weeks of mass demonstrations.

“They’re uncompromising”: How the young transformed Poland’s abortion protests

Four years ago, Polish women went on strike over an abortion ban. Now, a younger, fiery generation has joined them.

Magdalena Muszel, Grzegorz Piotrowski
11 December 2020

The protests in Poland over the government’s plans to further tighten abortion restrictions began in October – they haven’t stopped since. Now, some are calling it the “cardboard revolution” in reference to the handmade placards that have become a distinctive feature of the protests. But what’s novel about the movement isn’t the ubiquitous signage – it’s the young age of its participants.

When looking through the crowds at the protests, it quickly becomes clear that most participants appear to be in their early twenties. That might explain the radicalism of the movement’s chants and slogans, but also it’s creativity and spontaneity.

Solidarity across countries: Perspectives of Polish abortion rights protesters

Dec 5, 2020

More than 200 people met at San Francisco’s Rincon Park on Nov. 1 to show support for the protests in Poland against the government’s latest abortion restrictions. Right next to the Embarcadero waterfront, face-masked adults and children carried signs emblazoned with red bolts of lightning, the symbol of Poland’s Women’s Strike. On the signs were slogans, most in Polish and some in English, including “San Fran stands with the women of Poland” and “Abort the Patriarchy.”

“This is a peaceful show of support for our country,” said Magdalena Myszka, a Bay Area resident born and raised in Poland. Myszka organized this protest by posting an event on Facebook. The protesters chanted slogans used in the Polish protests, some of which translate to “I think, I feel, I decide” and “This is war.”

Poland’s government creates constitutional crisis it will find hard to resolve

Malgorzata Tomczak, Warsaw
November 30, 2020

In the past, the problems of the country’s constitutional court were seen as complex and detached from people’s daily lives. Until now that is, when they started to impact on the most private and sensitive areas of Polish women’s lives.

With its recent legal attempt to put further limits on abortion, the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) has created a constitutional crisis that will be hard to resolve. And its reckless actions are already impacting on Polish women’s lives.

What I Ate Wednesday, 6/4/14

Better late than never, right? I’m sorry if you guys are sick of me! I totally failed at posting this yesterday. I got really sleepy last night and went to bed pretty early. Then I worked all day today, so I’m just now getting around to doing this.

My day started at around 6:30 am yesterday. I rolled out of bed (after hitting the snooze button one too many times), let Rose out to potty, and started making my usual breakfast.

Do I even need to say what it is? Okay, I will…Gluten Free Oatmeal made with almond milk, blueberries, walnuts, cinnamon, and a tiny bit of raw agave. I also had a cup of chai green tea. Really missing my coffee lately! It will be back in my life soon.

Several hours later, while at work, I ate a Coconut Pie Larabar. I have been obsessed with Larabar’s lately. They are delicious and most of them only have 3-5 ingredients and no added sugar. My favorite flavors are the coconut, cherry, and key lime.

I don’t have a picture of my lunch, but it was leftovers from my dinner the night before which was a taco bowl type thingy. Check my last post for that recipe. It was my attempt at making a copycat burrito bowl from Chipotle. Very tasty!

After my workout yesterday I decided to make a smoothie. My smoothie was made with frozen blueberries, frozen peaches, spinach, coconut water, and a little 100% apple juice. Yum!

Also, if you guys are looking for a pretty inexpensive blender that works great, this basic Ninja Blender is awesome. It also came with a larger container. Lynda recently got the bigger version, that she talked about in her favorites post. This smaller version works great too though. It has chopped up everything I’ve ever put in it. I even used it to grind up some coffee beans one time.

For dinner I made chicken and rice soup. The recipe can be found in my last post. It turned out great and I had plenty leftover for lunch today. Such a comforting and filling meal.

Some of the ingredients

So, that’s what I ate yesterday! Hope you guys are having a good week. Who’s ready for the weekend?! 🙂 Thanks for reading.

Bows and Arrows,

Managing Weekly Stress

If you know me, you know that I am almost always stressed out for some reason. In fact, if you click this little link right here, you’ll get to know me a lot better than you already do. About 90% of those statements in that list are accurate when describing me.

Pretty much, if there is nothing to stress out about, I’ll find something. I don’t know why, and I don’t know how to stop it. I’ve tried many times to shake it off and just relax, but at this point in time, I think it’s downright impossible for me to do such a thing.

I know there are a lot of people out there that probably just read all that and think I’m crazy, but there are also a lot of people out there that read all of my rambling, and thought, Oh my God, she gets me! Since those people do exist, I thought I’d share this with all of you. Recently, I’ve discovered a way to help me stop stressing out so much. No, it didn’t completely get rid of my stress, but it’s definitely helped me maintain control of it. 2014-11-17 08.23.19

I’m a list maker. I make them for everything. Groceries, my favorite things during the month (for everyone to see!), things I need to accomplish in a week, things I need to accomplish in a day, things I need to accomplish within an hour, lists of the things I list…the list goes on! (I’ve successfully typed list enough to cause myself to question whether or not it’s even a real word…it’s starting to look funny.) Anyways!! The point is: I use these lists to organize my thoughts and my life. But once I cross off a lot of those things I’ve told myself I needed to complete, I want to create a new list, and destroy the old one, forgetting about all I’ve just accomplished and adding more that I’ve discovered I needed to work on. I’ve finally realized that this method leaves me feeling unsatisfied and upset with myself, causing more stress. Until now.

What I’ve been doing, is writing down my accomplishments on my desk calendar, in the days I’ve accomplished things. This way I can visually see that I’m not just wasting all of my time, and I am in fact getting shit done. It might not be everything I’ve set out to accomplish in a weeks time, but I’m not sitting around twiddling my thumbs either. It really helps me see that no matter how much I put on a list of “to-do’s,” I am working through them, and I can’t be upset with myself for not finishing everything, when I can see that I’ve been trying my hardest!

Try it out for yourself. It doesn’t have to be an amazing feat that you document. It can be anything that you know makes you feel better when you look back on it. Like something as simple as cleaning your bathroom, working out for a full hour, going on a hike, spending some quality time catching up with a good friend, changing your hairstyle like you’ve been telling yourself to do for months, etc.. Then when you look at the endless to-do list you’ve created for yourself to get through this week, you won’t feel so bad, because you know you will accomplish at least some of them! And this time, they won’t be forgotten about so quickly.

Thanks for reading and getting to know me a little bit better.

Bows and arrows,

Les commentaires de nos clients à propos de leur séjour dans l’un de nos condos chez Accès Tremblant

21 février 2022

Fantastic place, fantastic hosts. Highly recommend!

6 février 2022

Très beau condo de ski Hôte attentionné et très accommodant

28 janvier 2022

Great apartment, well stocked, accurate to the listing, and right on the ski trail. We’d love to stay here again.

18 décembre 2021

An absolutely amazing place with everything needed there. Spending evenings there after skiing was a blast and super comfortable as well!!

12 décembre 2021

Everything for our stay was great. We had 6 adults and it worked out perfect. The kitchen is really well stocked to make whatever you need. The walk to the village is about 10 min, we didn’t use the shuttle but it is available if needed. Would definitely recommend this location.

10 décembre 2021

Amazing space in an amazing location, was a very cozy yet spacious house. Plenty of space for my group of 6 adults. Parking was not a problem at all and even when you need to go into the village we just walked or drove down (it wasn't busy enough for us to take the shuttle, but I'm sure it's super easy). Everything we needed was already provided within the bnb and whatever wasn't was an easy buy for us. Unforutnately, condo inspectors came one morning during our visit but Michel&Guillaume told me right away when they found out and it wasn't in their reach to change that from happening - not a huge problem at all. Would love to come back in the future, and probably will! Great hosts and space!

28 novembre 2021

This place is beautiful, clean , cozy , spacious and at a great location as well . Fully equipped kitchen, a beautiful balcony and high ceilings with alot of light . Just the perfect getaway with family and friends ! will definitely be going back .

25 octobre 2021

Great place great value

26 septembre 2021

The chalet was beautiful and going to a mountain town, it was exactly what I pictured. It’s up a pretty big hill from the village which was tricky since we had 4 young kids with us. We drove down but parking was crazy expensive. I don’t blame the Airbnb for that though. It’s definitely walkable. There was nothing in the ad about the pool not being available, but judging by the fact that it was about 1/4 full of black water, I’d say it was closed all summer? So we had some disappointed kids about that. I’m sure that was COVID related though. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. I would stay again, but not with 8 people as the sleeping arrangements weren’t ideal. But it would sleep 8 comfortably.

30 août 2021

We had a great stay! Very close proximity to the village, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful and spacious place.

22 août 2021

Great location, fantastic pool, everything within walking distance and free shuttle access. Condo was set up well, and kitchen was nicely equipped. Would definitely stay here again.

4 août 2021

Everything was exactly as described. Kitchen was very very well equipped, with much more than needed. Bathrooms and showers were impeccable. Kitchen table can handle 8 or 9 people. Access was very easy and well documented. Napoleon BBQ was nice and handy. Complementary transit to the Village was very appreciated. We enjoyed the heated swimming pool close by. Thanks Guillaume and Michel

25 juillet 2021

Je vous conseille cet endroit. Logement propre, vaste et pratique. Près du village piétonnier. Température de la piscine très agréable

9 juillet 2021

Amazing place. Perfect for a family visiting this beautiful part of the world.

22 juin 2021

Lovely place and absolutely beautiful surroundings!

12 avril 2021

Very recommended place. Very clean and kitchen amenities are amazing.

28 mars 2021

Lovely chalet. Great location and ambience.

14 mars 2021

The condo was clean, located next to the ski trail (blue), and had all the necessities for a comfortable stay

3 janvier 2021

We had a great stay at Guillaume and Michel’s place. Everything was clean and the communication was very timely. The place is very close to the mountain (maybe a 10-15 minute walk, if you choose to walk to the main entrance).

18 décembre 2020

Clean and beautiful location. Quick walk to the village. Would love to stay again!

13 décembre 2020

Spacious chalet close to the mountain (15min walk to the gondola or 5 min shuttle ride). The chalet had everything we needed for the weekend. It felt like we were right at home.

8 décembre 2020

This unit is right beside a ski trail and near the summer swimming pool. The unit has all the amenities you can ask for and is sparkling clean. The beds were super comfortable and the fireplace was a treat. Would recommend staying there. Great for families.

4 octobre 2020

Beautiful place in a peaceful setting. Only a ten minute walk to the village and surrounded by great trails.

27 septembre 2020

The Condo is very nice, spacious and well decorated!! The kitchen is perfect and very well equipped, super nice terrace with BBQ in a quiet location and very close to the Tremblant village. Amazing!!

16 septembre 2020

Superbe adresse! A quelques pas du village de la montagne! Parfait pour 2 ou même 3 couples! Propreté irréprochable avec tout ce qu’on as besoin! On a même partagé notre séjour avec une famille de chevreuils , ma foi fort peu farouche😄!! Superbe en tout points !

5 juillet 2020

Does the trick...great location with a nice little community pool to enjoy! We certainly did. Even though there was no central AC, there is enough breeze with the windows open at night & it really cooled the place off. (We were there during a very hot week.) Also, nice little deck in the back with few bugs to bother us (thankfully) and the waterfall was in operation . Ultimate relaxation!

16 juin 2020

Amazing place ! Looking at the pictures before check-in we knew it was gonna be awesome, but it endes being 1000x better ! The place was sparkling clean, verry well decorated, nice view, cute little hiking tracks in the forest. Would recommand it to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation ! And it's 4min from the Mont-Tremhlant village !!!!

12 juin 2020

5 star stay without a doubt! Firstly, the place is stunning. Styled like a cozy cottage very welcoming and inviting as well as being spacious and airy. Cathedral ceiling did not disappoint. The kitchen has more amenities than I’ve every personally seen in an Air BnB and the place was spotless upon arrival. Bed was so comfy! Location is perfect, very central and easy access to village by car or foot. About a 15 minute walk. I was highly concerned about not having central AC and only having a portable air conditioner in the living room. I didn’t realize this until after I booked so I reached out to my host. Luc was the person I was in touch with during my stay who offered me other places in the same area with AC for the same price. I thought that was extremely thoughtful and definitely above and beyond what he had to do considering it is our job as guests to fully read the listing. We ended up still sticking with this place as we fell in love with it and temperature was perfect! Temperature ranged from 15-26 degrees in Tremblant when we were there and the place kept cool and breezy with the windows open. We never even turned on the AC! I would no longer be hesitant to stay there during summer months. Anything we needed I was able to text Luc and always received prompt and courteous replies. From simple things like how to lock the door to using the fireplace and so on. He even let us check out later so we could have the morning to explore Tremblant even more! Even with the current pandemic, I felt safe and comfortable knowing our place was throughly cleaned, my hosts were thoughtful and easily reachable and any concerns I had were addressed instantly. I honestly wasn’t expecting to have such a great stay given most stuff was closed for Covid but I really had the most lovely time and it wouldn’t have been this great without the hospitality of my amazing hosts! Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family and I personally will be back!

Great location, quick walk to the village, super clean space and absolutely beautiful! 5 star

3 février 2020

Nice spot, not a real ski in ski out.

25 janvier 2020

This place is a wonderful base if you are in the area for skiing. It was super warm and had a fire for you to use with eco-logs. The kitchen has everything you need and the coffee machine was well utilised when we stayed! The town is a short walk away and has lots of places for food and drink. It is based 2/3s of the way down the La Plataeu piste which is really only accessible from a ski lift (Porte Du Soleil). However, off the main slope on the south side you can go down Chalumeau and walk when you cross the road on the bridge. A group of 5 of us had a really great time and we thank Guillaume and Michel for having us.

2 janvier 2020

Good stay. The chalet is well situated. The description is as indicated. The chalet is ski in/ski out however it should be noted that the run close to the chalet is blue so a little more difficult. There is a handy shuttle that takes you right to the village though so no problem. The kitchen is fully equipped which is great . It nicely includes a fondue which was very nice to have. The bathroom floor and kitchen floor are heated which is great in the cold weather. Overall a good visit. Thanks!

20 décembre 2019

Super cool!! Everything is great in the appartament

12 novembre 2019

Great place

21 août 2019

Beautiful condo. A bit of a walk into the village but very manageable! Would definitely stay here again!

30 juillet 2019

Wonderful condo in Mont Tremblant with great amenities. It was lovely to have a balcony with a BBQ. Only 15 minutes walk into the resort village.

28 juillet 2019

Great location, 15 minute walk to Base of Cabriolet in village. Shuttles come every 30 minutes - taxis very hard to get when going out- local cab companies hanging up). Airbnb was very clean, decorated well. Beds comfy, dishes and dishwasher all new. Nice patio, communal pool was great on a hot day. Communication was smooth with host. Would stay here again in winter to ski!!

21 juillet 2019

Amazing spot! Will definitely be returning here and I would recommend this place to anyone thinking of going to Tremblant!

5 juillet 2019

This place is amazing and we enjoyed every moment. It was about 10-15 mins walk to the village. Location is beautiful and parking is right in front. Absolutely fantastic!

24 juin 2019

Nice location, excellent amenities, nicely decorated and cozy, and clean. Had an excellent stay!

16 juin 2019

Great cabin! About 15 away from the Village center! Good value and perfect for a small group of people! Would recommend to anyone!

23 mai 2019

Beautiful unit sparkling clean. Kitchen has everything needed for meal preparation. Very comfortable place to relax and enjoy the mountains

This is an amazing place! Very nice location close to the village at the same time with privacy and a calm place. House had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We felt like home. It couldn’t be better! Hope to return in future opportunities!

Liz & Alex
19 avril 2019

Nice space with thoughtful amenities!

15 mars 2019

We enjoyed our stay here, which was right next to the ski trail that led us to a small ski lift. I note the ski lift fits 3 people and is quite abrupt and fast when getting on. The trail to the lift has some flat areas and some narrow steep areas. I found the route going back from the Pedestrian Village to the condo to be even more steeper and narrower (blue rating), with some flat areas too. When going back to the condo at the end of the day, you have to keep in mind that all lifts close at 4:30pm (maybe subject to change). The condo is a nice place with useful amenities such as laundry machines, dishwasher, full kitchen, and 1 designated outdoor parking spot, as well as free visitor parking in the same lot. The master bedroom is a good comfortable size with a separate full bathroom. The second bedroom on the main floor was a little cramped with a double bed and bunk beds in the same room, but it didn’t seem to bother our kids. Check-in and check-out were easy. They even had a separate locked closet outside to put our ski gear in. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, and the people staying in the condos around us were friendly. I would recommend staying here.

24 février 2019

Great location, exactly as discribed and would definitely rent again !

16 janvier 2019

They have a beautiful home with everything you need and a really nice atmosphere! Totally staying here again!

11 janvier 2019

Great Condo, the previous reviews we read were spot on and the condo met all our expectations. For us the location is excellent, 15 minute walk into the village was not a problem. Lots of space and great amenities, especially in the kitchen. Very quiet location which is important to us. The beds were very comfortable and the fireplace was so nice. The upper Plateau ski-trail was closed for the first two days we were there which made the Ski-in a little tricky, but opened up on the third day. Snowed twice during the visit and each time someone came to clear the condo pathway which was a nice surprise. Also, we saw wild turkeys and deer outside the condo.

30 décembre 2018

Great place right on the hill

Ragnhildur Anna
28 décembre 2018

A great apparment in a wonderful area. Fully equipped with all new appliances. The appartment has a fireplace and everything you need for a cozy and relaxing time. And one more thing the bedding is super soft like in a five star hotel.

18 décembre 2018

Very clean and welcoming. It is exactly as shown in pictures.

12 décembre 2018

Lovely place and near to most of the attractions in Mont-tremblant.

25 septembre 2018

Amazing place

30 août 2018

Stay at Guillaume & Michel ‘s place would’ve to your vacation or trip more enjoyable.

20 août 2018

The facilities were top notch. It was great having the pool and walking paths as part of the amenities.

12 août 2018

This is our second year staying in one of Michael & Guillaume’s condos. Although this one was smaller (plateau b) than the first one we stayed at, it was equally charming and the high quality touches did not go unnoticed. The beds are SO comfortable!! Thank you so much for being great hosts! We really appreciated the early and late check in/our option. Incredibly hospitable! We look forward to next years stay!

25 février 2018

Guillaume and Michel are great hosts. The place is extremely clean and has a very homey feel. Location worked well for us.

23 février 2018

We loved our stay at Guillaume and Michel's place. It is cozy and stylish, very clean, and both large and small details regarding storage and convenience have been well thought out. The peaked roof and beautiful stone fireplace really enhanced the atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again. Out hosts were very responsive and helpful to our questions as well.

19 février 2018

Thanks so much for the weekend. We lived staying in your chalet! Very nice amount of plates and cooking utensils in the kitchen. Great to have the Bluetooth music player and all the beds were used and a comfortable place to sleep. Thank you!

23 janvier 2018

Recommend staying here

2 janvier 2018

Our family of four - two teenage girls, my husband and I had a great stay in this stylish, warm, cozy, clean and well-appointed condo. We spent much time in front of the wonderful fireplace and cooking in the kitchen which had everything needed to make fun dinners. Beds and bedding were comfy. Showers were hot with good pressure. The condo is 5 minutes to the Tremblant village so we were able to dash in and then retreat away to the quiet. Highly recommend this place.

8 juillet 2017

We really enjoyed our stay at Guillaume and Michel's. The condo was well-appointed with everything we needed, cozy and perfect for a quick family getaway to Mont-Tremblant. Being in such close proximity to a beautiful waterfall was also a bonus. The sound of the rushing water added a sense of zen after our activity-filled days.

11 juin 2017

Beautiful accommodations, great location and easy check in and out. Communication was easy and I would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

6 juin 2017

We stayed for 2 nights in this beautiful lodge. The soft furnishings and decor were superb. Great kitchen for family cooking. The village centre is a 10 min walk. Steep for elderly or small children. Local store has good supplies and abundance of restaurants in village. The pool was closed when we visited, but it looked great. The trip to the top of mont Tremblant is worth it for the views.

26 mai 2017

Thank you Guillaume & Michel for letting my husband and his friends stay at your place. They had a fantastic time and special thank you for being so accommodating! I would definitely recommend your place for anyone looking for a quiet getaway close to the village!

5 mars 2017

We loved the place so much. It was so clean and neat, exactly as advertised. We would recommend this place to friends visiting Mont-Tremblant and would definitely try and stay in it again in the future. Place is so cozy and spacious at the same time. We were so lucky with it.

3 mars 2017

Amazing condo on Tremblant with easy access to the mountain and village. Everything was as described and we would definitely stay again and recommend Guillaume & Michel's place. It was very comfortable and a wonderful place to enjoy Tremblant!

26 février 2017

Stayed for the weekend with a bunch of friends on our yearly snowboard trip. The house was large, comfortable and in a great location. Ski in/out with a shuttle that runs into the village until 10 PM. It was clean and the host were very quick to respond. Overall a great experience, would recommend!

24 février 2017

We highly recommend Guillaume and Michel's condo. It was clean, well furnished, comfortable, and stocked with kitchen tools and gadgets. To have the slopes so close was a huge bonus as well. A great spot to stay!

19 février 2017

Very nice place for our family of 6.

30 janvier 2017

14 janvier 2017

Great Place! Guillaume and Michel attended to all our needs (and last-minute changes) with grace and friendliness. I recommend to anyone looking for a cozy stay in Mont Tremblant!

12 janvier 2017

This was a great place to stay during our short trip to Mont Tremblant. We looked forward to eating dinner and relaxing by the fireplace at the end of every day. The only thing that was frustrating was the spotty wifi connection, since we weren't able to connect to (Hidden by Airbnb) or email at times. Otherwise, an enjoyable stay.

20 décembre 2016

We had a wonderful time staying at Plateau B! Great for families, groups or couples looking for a getaway. Pros: The chalet had gorgeous high ceilings and a cozy ambiance. Tastefully furnished, cabin-style decor, even had some Christmas decorations during our stay! The beds were very comfortable and sheets were clean and bathrooms were well stocked. My favorite part was the fireplace to fight off the mid-December frigid temperatures. The kitchen was well equipped with possibly everything you'll ever need to whip up a great meal! It had more tools than my own kitchen!! Communication was clear and fast. Cons: NONE! -possibly the 11am check-out, but that's quite standard. All in all, we're already dreaming of coming back next winter!

25 octobre 2016

Very nice accomodation, and good facilities inside

2 octobre 2016

Home was stunning! Everything we needed was available & the views surrounding the property were breathtaking. Would love to stay there again in the future and will definitely recommend this home to others wishing to visit Tremblant.

25 septembre 2016

I came here for my friend's birthday with my girlfriends and we loved it! Such a beautiful place with a gorgeous view, close to everything! I would highly recommend!

4 juillet 2016

Guillaume & Michel were excellent hosts. I would stay there again.

23 juin 2016

We fell in love with the place straight away. Very spacious and cosy at the same time. Everything you might need is there, very clean and we felt right at home. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed eating breakfast in the sun on the balcony in the back. Great place for families as well! The hosts were also very helpfull giving us clear instructions for the house and Michel helped us out straight away when we had a question about the washingmachine. Mont Tremblant is also a very cute place to have lunch and dinner, walk around and do fun activities. I can imagine its even more amazing during winter, but it's also very nice in summer. Overall great place, great hosts and lovely town!

7 juin 2016

We had a great time at Mont-Tremblant. The property has everything we need. The hosts are very responsive. Access to the property was super easy and smooth with coded lock. Property are exactly as in the photos, nice and clean, bright living space with cathedral ceiling. Surrounding was nice and quiet. Easy access to the village and casino. Highly recommended.

5 juin 2016

The platuea was in a gorgeous spot. Minutes from the resort and surrounded by deer! Had a wonderful weekend in this home and would come back!

My group of girlfriends had a great weekend away at Guillaume and Michel's condo. The condo itself was in great condition and was perrect for a small reunion with friends. The condo was clean and fitted with everything you could possibly think of in the kitchen. Guillaume and Michel responded quickly to any questions I had leading up to our stay. I definitely recommend staying here.

23 mai 2016

Plateau B was a perfect place to stay for our long weekend! There were 5 of us in total, and the condo was extremely spacious, bright, and open. Everything we needed was provided, the condo was very clean and tidy, and the neighbourhood was lovely. We walked to and from the pedestrian village multiple times throughout the weekend and despite how busy the pedestrian village was, the area surrounding the condo was very peaceful and quiet. It was the best of both worlds as we could relax and stay quiet at the condo, but we could also walk to the village for a night out and for entertainment. I would absolutely recommend this place to others, and we look forward to staying there again in the future. Thank you for letting us stay at your condo!

We loved the condo and location and appreciated having a shuttle to the village. We did find the condo a bit chilly and the specialty logs don't really generate much heat. We would definitely stay here again.

22 mars 2016

We were made to feel very welcome at Plateau B. Although we did not meet the hosts during our stay, their communication before and during out visit was very friendly and helpful. The condo was very well presented and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need to dine in, as well as a nice collection of teas and fresh coffee. We very much enjoyed out stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

19 mars 2016

The condo had very high ceilings as in the ad, was bright and clean and very close to the mountain. Radiant heat floors in the kitchen were a huge plus and the fireplace and all appliances worked well.

12 mars 2016

Facility was just as described. The furniture was comfortable as were the beds. The décor was cozy and the ski in/ski out was a bonus

10 mars 2016

I would definitely recommend this chalet to anyone wanting to head up to Mont Tremblant. We had five guys in our group and there was more then enough room for all of us. The chalet was exactly as described. I didn't meet or talk to Guillaume in person but he was very responsive in answering any questions I had via email and sent us a very detailed brochure prior to our arrival so we had no reason to call. The location is perfect and the ski-in/ski-out was amazing (although I could see it being a little tough if you are a beginner skier). We were on the hill within a minute and were able to ski right up to the driveway on the way back. The village was a ten minute walk down to the main road and then up the main walkway. We walked there several times during our trip and didn't touch our car from the time we arrived until we left. We are already planning another trip for 2017 and will definitely book this chalet again.

4 février 2016

My group and I had a great time at Plateau B. The condo was perfect and very spacious, and it had everything we needed for a week of skiing. It was very close to the village and was easy to ski in/out. This was probably the best 'chalet' experience I've had. Guillaume was very accommodating and responded quickly throughout the booking process. Thanks for letting us stay here, and we will definitely recommend this listing to others.

27 janvier 2016

The condo was excellent and just as advertised. The location was ideal. We felt very welcome and at home. I would absolutely return to this rental.

14 janvier 2016

Great location, clean house, and exactly as described. Guillaume was a great host and very helpful.

22 novembre 2015

Guillaume was a great host, providing quick and clear communication. The condo is very nice and set in a beautiful spot near the resort village. We saw 2 deer on separate occasions stroll right outside our door. Overall a great stay.

18 octobre 2015

Our stay at Guillaume's condo was great! It is very clean, spacious and organized. It is also very well equipped. It has 2 full bathrooms and the one upstairs has a Jacuzzi. We enjoyed the bbq and the balcony (there is a table that sits 6 people comfortably outside). Guillaume is a very nice host, easy to communicate with. He left an information sheet with everything we needed to know about the condo and the area. The condo is located about 10min walk from the pedestrian village. I will definitely stay there again the next time I visit Mont-Tremblant, a 5-star stay!

“Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to see the person who values YOU.”

Dealing with a broken heart from a failed relationship is hard, but both DJ & Aiza made the effort to help each other recover.
They met on 2008 where both worked at Fitness First as fitness trainers, both of them were in a rocky relationship but it didn’t take long for them to move on and feel a certain connection that would lead them to the love story that would change their lives.
Of course, all love stories will always have struggles… But they’ve made it through the ups & downs and chose to stay together showing how much they mean to one another. Overcoming the challenges of being apart and giving meaning to the love & devotion through the times that they’ve shared.
It was never easy, but nothing can tear their love & devotion apart. The day came where DJ caught Aiza by surprise, with a bended knee and a ring passioned by love… The once two broken hearts has now pieced together to form the love that will last forever.
Congratulations to DJ & Aiza, a couple that stood the tests and gave meaning to FOREVER!

A Parent’s Perspective on a High School Trip to Europe

August 5, 2022 Guest Blogger 1 Comment
High School Trip to Europe Group Photo

Teri Herbstreit and her recent High School graduate son just returned from traveling on an ACIS Fixed Date Trip this summer. Teri is also, as you’ll soon read for yourself, an excellent writer. And when she shared with us the following post about her (not quite) High School trip to Europe, we couldn’t wait to publish it. You can find more of Teri’s writing at StreiTalk. I particularly recommend her post on packing tips.

Now, hear for yourself all about Teri’s recent experience traveling on a Paris, Switzerland and Munich educational tour, and how this formerly “non-tour person” is now a true believer in ACIS and that travel really does changes lives.

I am NOT a “tour person”….But I had a fabulous time with the twice-postponed high school trip to Europe. (Stupid COVID)

Travel Changes Lives. It’s true, and it is also the motto of ACIS, the educational tour company that our school hired for a high school trip to Europe.  Have you ever watched a kid grow more confident and relaxed before your very eyes?

I got a chance to see some kids I had never met gain confidence and feel more independent. enough to navigate public transportation in foreign languages, try foods they’ve never heard of, bike through the busy streets of Munich, learn to watercolor on the streets of Montmartre, and make friends with strangers they met just seconds ago.

The Backstory on my High School Trip to Europe

My son signed up to go on a high school trip to France in his junior year. I was tagging along as one of the few adults accompanying the French teacher on the voyage that would start in Paris, go through the south of France, continue in the Loire Valley (including one of my favorite chateaus), pass by Provence, and finally, end in Nice.

Then, COVID hit. All travel was suspended and most kids asked for a refund for the France trip since they were headed for college, jobs, or other exciting prospects.

Noah and I opted to keep our money in the account with ACIS, the tour company our high school used for foreign travel and hope for the best–and boy did we get the BEST.

In 2021, we were cautiously optimistic for about ten minutes, when we realized that it wasn’t going to happen. In 2022, however, we were encouraged to look on the website and peruse the trip options open to us.

The smarties at ACIS had put together several fixed-date trips that would keep everyone happy. They had to combine parts of trips so that those of us who rolled our money over and over from 2020 would get a part of what they had originally wanted. Our trip would start in Paris, France; go to Engelberg, Switzerland; and end in Munich, Germany.

 Even though flights and fuel prices had skyrocketed since 2020, ACIS honored their commitment to all of us and we were not asked to pay more to cover the higher costs. Airfare, most meals, accommodations, entrance fees to museums and all kinds of other cool things like walking tours with local residents, art lessons, evening boat cruise up the Seine, etc.–ALL INCLUDED.

 First of all, I would like to say that unless I had been scheduled to go on this high school trip to Europe, I am not a “tour” person. I would never choose to go on a tour through Europe, especially since I had traveled by myself in Europe and lived there for a year. ACIS changed the way I look at tours, but I think they are a very special group of people, doing very smart things. And…they have wonderful contacts in every country to which they travel.

Setting Up an Educational Trip is a Lot of Work

Oh, to travel, and have someone else worry about the details!

As a parent in a family who likes to travel, my husband and I have spent hours on the internet and phone planning out the simplest of trips.

On this trip, I felt like a VIP, just packing my bag and showing up.

ACIS hires tour managers who really know their stuff. They put together wonderful itineraries, provide lots of free time. The activities that you have scheduled make sense with respect to the trip and they are timed perfectly. For example, we visited a chocolate factory in Switzerland and took a boat cruise down the Seine in Paris. Because we had specific appointments for our group, we never waited in line.

“On this trip, I felt like a VIP”

Our Tour Manager was UK native Tim Godby. Tim was amazing. Tim speaks 6 languages and has LIVED in five countries.

Tim was running into people he knew everywhere we went. He was extremely knowledgeable and would tell us history of the pastoral areas as we sped through them. For example, he pointed out houses in Bavaria which still had barns attached to houses, as the people there lived in harmony with their animals.

Knowing facts about places though, doesn’t make you a great tour manager. Perfectly balancing a trip with learning, walking, riding, celebrating, and relaxing, is a real art. The itinerary of our trip was a well-researched and well-thought-out schedule, with a good balance of city, mountain, countryside, and small towns.

Jill Federschneider and Kayla Smith were the ACIS representatives traveling with our group of 24. Kayla was very helpful, even though she was there to experience an ACIS trip for the first time. If Kayla didn’t have an answer, she got the answer for you.

Jill has been with ACIS more than 12 years. She is normally the representative who pops in on high school trips to Europe and around the world to make sure they are functioning smoothly.

Nice job, right? I’m sure it’s not as glamorous as it is in my imagination. Since this was a trip without a high school teacher leading it, because of the COVID situation, she came along to sort of fill that role. Jill was amazing. Warm and caring, she always had the answers to anything, and carried her “Mary Poppins bag” complete with absolutely anything you may have forgotten. She even wrote us a poem that she recited on the last night to many a misty eye….

Well Thought-Out Days

As an example of the well-thought-out itineraries, consider these two days in Paris.

Day One of My Educational Tour:

Breakfast:  Deliciously French

Morning Drive: A drive around the city so all the students could see the most iconic places in Paris and get their bearings.

Museum: A passionate expert guided us through the Musée d’Orsay, the former railway station that now houses the world’s top impressionist art collections.

Lunch On Our Own: We found a great place near St.-Germaine-des-Prés with the most fun waiter. Sole meunière, one of my all -time faves, bœuf with fois gras, and risotto with asparagus and peas.

A neighborhood walk: A walk through Le Marais (think New York’s Greenwich Village) with Edith De Belleville, a local woman who had real passion for the area.

Free time: Before AND after dinner together. I walked around with my son Noah and his friend Jack, and showed them where I lived. We got gelatto, went to Les Jardins du Luxembourg, and Noah did some shopping.

Day Two of My Educational Tour:

Breakfast: Again, fabulously French.

Metro to Mont Martre: After breakfast, we hopped on the Metro and headed up to Montmartre and Sacré Cœur (early, before the tourist flood), where we met a local artist who talked to us about the history of the area, and led us in some impressionist watercolor painting.

Free Time! The rest of the day was free. Several people went to the Louvre, some went shopping, popping in and out of bistros. The ACIS representatives split up and went with different groups to be sure people were comfortable. A few of us strolled around the Louvre grounds and the banks of the Seine.

The rest of the trip was similar. Some days were fairly busy, but there was always free time to wander and explore–like when all the students left after dinner to jump into the Eisbach River in Munich.

The Impact of a High School Trip to Europe

One student said that his change of college major was inspired in part by the trip to Europe.

“I really want to make sure I’m working to live and not living to work,” says Jack Mikesell, from Centerville, Ohio. “I wanted something where I could more easily work from anywhere or have more dedicated time off, so Computer Science seemed like a better fit for my lifestyle than becoming a vet.”

Jack also said that Paris didn’t disappoint (he knew it would be beautiful) and was most surprised by how much he loved Switzerland. He also thought the trip to Dachau, the Concentration Camp was an important stop, and enjoyed Munich more than he thought he would.

“The trip inspired me to want to travel,” Jack explains. “And I really think every new experience builds your character.”

Oceanna (Osh) Pfeiffer, from Wauconda, Illinois, agrees.

“After this trip I realized how much more I need to travel and explore,” she says. “It was just such an eye-opening experience and meeting new people in this way was so different and exciting. I’m already planning my next trip to Europe.”

I would have to agree with Osh. I was truly not excited about being thrown in with strangers, but because we were all sharing an experience, there was no banal small talk. Meeting people who also love to travel and learn was one of the best parts.

“I think the coolest part of the trip was being thrust into a group of strangers and having so much fun,” says Ellen Manor of Saratoga, New York, another parent on the trip. “Everyone was so compatible.”

Every night, the kids stayed up together and talked. They played games, joked and laughed, and talked about the day. Even the most introverted kids enjoyed the time together with people they were just getting to know.

“It was also cool watching the kids and their growing comfort level with each other and the cities–like navigating the subways,” says Ellen. “That tells me that they felt confident being in a new place and exploring without us.”

Jolie Scheer, a recent graduate from Francis Howell High School in O’Fallon, Missouri, agrees.

“This trip was such an incredible experience,” she says. “I can’t describe how much fun I had and how much I enjoyed the overall experience of travel.” But even more meaningful to Jolie than the enjoyment was the independence and confidence she gained during the trip.

“I had this feeling of independence that I’ve never had before, and I enjoyed every second of it,” she explains. “I have amazing memories I will never forget and I’m ready to travel again someday.”

Another parent, Rebecca Pipino, from Saratoga, New York, echoes those sentiments.

“It was great to see my daughter Isabelle confidently use the French she has studied, navigate the metro, and do things like ordering in a café so easily,” she explains. “She is going off to school in Boston, so she was trying out some newfound independence–and she really liked it.”

“My daughter Kate was genuinely interested in all the history and educational aspects of every day,” adds Ellen. “And it definitely sparked conversations of where she would visit next.”

Another student, (my kid) Noah Holmes, from Centerville, Ohio, agrees.

“I have even more passion for travel than I did before, and I really learned a lot,” he explains. Europeans in general are more laid back. They even look at eating differently than we do. It’s more of a big deal. People take the time to sit down together.”

“There were bikes, scooters, and motorcycles everywhere,” says Noah. “People are more aware of their impact on the world and taking up space. There is so much more public transportation and accommodations for bikes,” he adds. “It’s a very different perspective.”

In terms of whether or not I would recommend ACIS and all they do; I think Jack said it best.

“It’s nice to have possessions,” he explains. “But experiences like going to shows, traveling, and doing things you haven’t done before, are so much more valuable.

“Putting money into an experience like this is completely different. It changes you in a very real way. These are the things that shape us as people. And yes, it sometimes costs money.

Noah and I added some extra days to go to Grächen, Switzerland to see a friend, but if anyone ever asked me about my trip with ACIS to Europe, I would highly recommend it. The trip included airfare, all accommodations, most meals, all transportation, entrance fees, private local guides, and more.

As a parent who has planned family trips, it was a gift to get to sit back and just enjoy my time with my son and the other fabulous kids and parents on the trip.

Teri, we’re thrilled that you and Noah had such a memorable experience. It really is true that travel changes lives, and a high school trip to Europe can have all the impact in the world even if it happens after high school ends. Thanks for sticking with us, and thanks for writing this post!

Album Review: Spiritualized – And Nothing Hurt

By Kwase Lane, Contributor
[Fat Possum; 2018]
Rating: 7.5/10

Key Tracks: “A Perfect Miracle”, “On the Sunshine”, “The Prize”

Much like its namesake, Spiritualized‘s And Nothing Hurt offers to unstick its audience from time. On their eighth studio album, Spiritualized take listeners down a gently winding river of nostalgia, a more mellow turn coming off their last album. Whereas Sweet Heart, Sweet Light is stained with a bitter pain, And Nothing Hurt seems to be looking wistfully at the past’s joys and woes.

The journey downstream begins with “A Perfect Miracle”. Singer Jason Pierce’s vocals float effortlessly over a delicate percussion. The song begins as a proclamation of love but collapses as Pierce finds further reasons to stray from the subject. “Darling, you know, I’m sorry / I won’t get to see you this year / I hate to confess but I’ve changed my address / I haven’t been home in a little while.” Just as the narrative comes crashing down so too do the vocals, forming a beautiful spiral of excuses and regret.

The album continues with “On the Sunshine”. A mantra of “take it easy” is repeated over a contrastingly symphonic blending of trumpets and symbols. The strained delivery of the vocals coalesces with the other elements forming a sort- of paradox urging you to stop and smell the flowers, all the while pushing you to the next topic at hand.

The album’s penultimate track, “And Nothing Hurt”, begins to wind down. In perhaps the most thematically charged song on the album, Pierce discusses his uncertainty about life, mortality and love. Although the topics at being highlighted are the furthest thing from relaxing, the entire track has a hazy, dreamlike quality, almost like it’s saying, “This is a problem for tomorrow”.

Spiritualized’s latest project demonstrates a refined tonal focus that doesn’t sacrifice variety. The lyrics are laced with a remarkable amount of maturity, the sentiments subtle enough that they almost feel like your own. Each track is marked by scars from pains long past without feeling too whiny or sorry for itself. His wizened voice combined with the naivety of his words make this a near perfect album to drown your sorrows in with a cup of coffee on a rainy night. You might not always know how to describe what you’re going through, but neither does Pierce, and there’s something comforting about that.
