We plan the logistics for our program differently depending on how well the incoming Ambassadors have an understanding of the English language. If there is little or no understanding, we have an interpreter and a chartered bus. If the understanding is good to excellent, we can opt to travel as a caravan and flex into smaller groups or remain as one entire group upon arrival whichever seems most appropriate, allowing some individual touring with a day host, with a common point to reconvene before leaving as a caravan, for return to Harrisburg. All Ambassadors or groups of Ambassadors have day hosts with them throughout the program.
