This is a unique one of a kind adventure for active and fit people- ranging from beginning to advanced hikers. Israel a beautiful country, only the size of New Jersey and in that small area one can see snow capped mountains, lush forests, and desert canyons. The experience of hiking Israel is unlike any other- every step is a step back in time. The trails are filled with historical, biblical and archeological evidence of our past. In addition, Israel's plant and animal life is rich and diversified, in part due to the country's geographical location at the junction of three continents. Some 2,600 types of plants have been identified, ranging from alpine species on the northern mountain slopes to Saharan species in the Arava in the south. Over 500 different species of birds can be seen in Israel as well. As far as animal life-mountain gazelles roam over the hills; foxes, jungle cats and other mammals live in wooded areas; Nubian ibex with majestic horns leap over desert crags; and chameleons, snakes and agama lizards are among the 100 reptile species native to the country.
Besides hiking, the tour is filled with activities such as floating in the Dead Sea, rafting the Jordan River, enjoying Druze and Bedouin hospitality,riding camels through the desert, touring Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa and other sites and much more.
The land package includes 11 full days of touring with licensed Israeli guide, private coach all accommodations, breakfast and dinner, all activities and entrance fees and costs $2150. Airfare is additional.
Upcoming dates are July 2-12, Sep. 10-20 and Dec. 24- Jan. 3.

I am interested in teaching overseas (grades 2-5 or English), but would like to try my hand at teaching summers abroad for a couple of summers. Any information on the ins and outs or if it is even possible to teach summer school abroad, would be welcome.
I am looking into Spanish immersion programs and was wondering if anyone had any advise. I am currently looking for a job and thought that I might be more marketable if I learned Spanish. All feedback is welcome.

I also studied Spanish in Cuernavaca, Mexico as part of a 2-week Spanish immersion program. Totally safe there - and became life-long friends with my Mexican family. In fact, I visited them again with my daughter the following year. By the way, I never had a Spanish class in my life, and I had a blast! The name of the school was Cemanahuac in Cuernavaca. Lovely people.

Dees anyone know of any short graduate online classes that will start and end before this Aug. 31? I need just a couple more points for salary advancement but they must be completed by the end of this month. They can be anywhere, anystate or online. I know about onlinelearning,net, but my district won't commit to taking those units.

I would really like to add my ELL certificate to my teaching license. Does anyone know of some good programs? I was looking at some online programs, but I'm not sure about their credibility. I currently live in the Twin Cities area of MN, but am young and would love to move to a new exciting city! Thanks for the advise! Sarah
