<p>I may be incorrect, but my understanding is that Passover 2011 is April 19-April 24, and Easter Sunday 2011 (for nonEastern churches) is April 25. I guess the concept is to have a break midway during the semester, and then to have a break to take in account religious holidays in April. In any event, it is two trips to and from home or elsewhere within a relatively short period of time, with the concomitant costs.</p>
