    Add me to your list as well!!!
    I have been looking for travel groups for teachers for a long
    time, but haven't found one yet. I did find a tour group that I
    would like to recommend to you all. It's called Contiki
    (Contiki.com). They are geared to people from ages 18-35 (but I
    think they will take you stil if you are a little bit older). I
    know that the main thing I wanted was to go on tour with a
    younger crowd or at least fairly close to my age. They have
    tours all over the US, Austrailia, and Europe. I went on the
    Eastern Road Tour, which was about 13 days. It went through
    Berlin, Germany; Prague, Czech Republic; Vienna, Austria;
    Budapest, Hungary; (drove through Slovakia and had a short stop)
    and Warsaw/Krakow Poland. IT WAS A BLAST!!!!!!! Most of the
    people on the trip were from Austrailia, but there were several
    Americans (me included), several Canadians, one from England,
    one from Ireland and a few from Brazil. It was definately a
    great mix of culture/social gatherings. The only down part was
    the early mornings, and sometimes being on the bus for a long
    time between cities.

    I guess one negative aspect is that some people have heard that
    it is basically a "party" tour. I went and I'm not a big
    drinker and I had a blast!!! There are usually close to 40 or so
    people on the tour and you always have someone to hang out with
    depending on what you want to do. Usually, each city you start
    off with some type of tour of the city and then they give you
    some free time to do you own things. There were also "extras"
    that you had to pay for (special concerts, dinners, tours, river
    cruises etc.). We always did something at night! It was the
    most fun I had in years! I still keep in contact with some of
    my freinds from that tour. (Most people who go on Contikis go
    again and again!!)

    I am thinking about going again this summer, either USA or
    Europe. I'm kind of worried about Europe with the exchange
    rate, but I still have some time to think about it! Please send
    me message/email if you have any questions or decide to take a
    tour, maybe we can meet up!
