I read here that the new Ancient History package should be available by August (2009). Will you have the book packs and samples available on the website for review much earlier than that? I'm interested in this package, but usually make my decisions for next year in the spring (Also, my oldest ds is wanting to go back to ancients now, LOL, I'm trying to hold him off!). Also - will you be at the Cincy or Indy HS conventions this year and will you have anything more about the Ancients package at the conventions?
Thanks!
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
Just bumping this up so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle!
I imagine Carrie will be along soon to have some answers for you.

Re: Question about new ancients package
Carrie is the only one who can answer this for you. But I know that last year on the guide she was writing, they had the book packages on the website in like January or February. Then, they had the samples from the guide up on the website in April...and with them at conventions. You could preorder and the guides shipped August 1. (I think they even beat that by a few days. 
) My guess would be that they're striving for a similar schedule.

Re: Question about new ancients package
Candice, thanks for the bump 
Kathleen, thanks for sharing past experience... that is very helpful!
My dh is going to be going to Iraq next school year and I'm thinking about how I can simplify a little bit (We've been pretty eclectic - some Ambleside, some WTM, etc.). I've looked at TOG and it seems like it would be too much planning for me with him gone and so many other needs to consider. I'm excited about the posts I've already read about HOD's ancient plan!

Re: Question about new ancients package
Lynn,
Aren't the ladies on this board amazing at getting you the information you need! We are following a very similar schedule for the release of our new guide to the schedule we followed last year for Preparing Hearts. So... we have already sent the ancient's product overview and packages to our website designer. He will be working on getting them up in January. It is quite a job! I am looking forward to seeing them on the web myself! We are VERY pleased with the balance of everything and excited about the resources to be used! Our oldest son is testing many of them for us this year.
Then, we'll have the first week of plans on the web in early April with the new catalog to follow. We will not be in Cincinnati or in Indianapolis this year. We used to exhibit in Indy but now have another show date which conflicts. We've never been to Cincy.
Blessings,
Carrie
