trip

off
By Tracy Strassburger
A March break trip to Acapulco is being organized by Mark McNicol, a first-year general business student at Conestoga College’s Waterloo campus. “I figured two years of college is something you want to remember, and spring break is part of it,” said McNicol, who has been recruiting travellers from the Waterloo and Doon campuses for about four weeks. As of Oct. 30, McNicol said, he had deposits from seven people, and “a lot of maybes.” If he convinces 30 people to take the trip, he gets “a bit of a deal” from the Canadian Travel Centre, 258 King St. N., Waterloo. The trip is being arranged through agent Barb Brunton, a friend of McNicol’ s. Interested students can contact Brunton at 886-8900. The cost of trip is $589 per person
and includes return airfare, transfers, accommodations and all applicable taxes. A deposit of $ 1 50 is due by Dec. 9, with the balance to be paid by mid-Januaiy. McNicol’ s group will fly out of Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Feb. 25, and return
March 4. The group will stay at Romano s Le Club Acapulco in quadruple occupancy rooms. He said he doesn’t expect any difficulty in convincing another 13
