Would appreciate your help on these two grammar questions . . .

0I wish my parents were more like we/us.02br
02br
00The trip will be a good experience for people like you and I/me.02br
02br
00I am thinking "we" and "I" are correct. I can't remember the grammar rule but I'm thinking that the first sentence could be restated with the ending "we are" and in the second sentence, people is the object of the preposition, not the pronoun so the nominative case should be used, unless "like" requires an object whereby the objective case "me" should be used. Help!!! Thanks. much for your help..0-
