Re: Any teachers interested in Italy summer 2008
Posted by Mary on 12/27/07

    Here's another single teacher to add! Finally made a trip to London
    on my own this year, but would love to find a group to travel with.
    Italy and Greece would probably be my first choices, but I'd love
    to hear about anything! After reading this post I'm going to check
    out Contiki too!
