Taking A School Trip After Graduation
In May of 2005, Natalee and 124 ‘friends’ from Mountain Brook High School were allowed to go on a trip together to Aruba, with 7 chaperones to keep everyone in check. The trip was going to be 5 days long, allowing the students to enjoy the sun, sea and for sure, a lot of alcohol. Like its other tropical counterparts, the legal drinking age in Aruba is only 18, so the kids knew that they wouldn’t actually be breaking any rules with their excess partying… But there was so much more that was going to happen.
