Re: HELP- Do you know of any teacher travel groups???
Posted by Tanyalee on 6/19/07

    Oh - How excited I am to see that there are other people in the same boat as
    me. I teach English, grades 9-12 in Massachusetts and love to travel too. But
    as I am single it always costs double and I can't share the adventure with
    anyone. Can you please include me in the group e-mails on any trips you may be
    planning? My passport and I are always ready to go on a moments notice.
    Actually, I'm looking for someone to share a cabin on a cruise with me this
    summer. It is the Royal Majestic leaving from Boston for 6 nights to Bermuda.
    The cost is about 650.00 and includes everything but "adult drinks". I'm
    looking to leave the end of July/beginning of August. Any takers??? LOL! Have
    a great summer my fellow educators - we deserve it!
