Hi, I am a primary school teacher and would like to use the summer holidays to travel abroad. However, i have not done a lot of travelling and would like to be recommended a destination or travel company that has been successful and safe! Please email me any ideas or a starting point. Thank you Lucy
I will be traveling with my husband to France in March. I am a teacher and school will still be in session. I'd like to connect with my students while I am gone. Any ideas on best way to connect? Ideas on Elemenary lessons from abroad?

After spending several summers as a tour guide.escort taking trips to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska, here are some recommendations:
The smaller the ship/boat, the better! The large cruise ships cannot get into many ports and scenic areas so you would need to pay exorbitant sums for 'optional' excursions. The passengers are also much friendlier and interesting on the smaller boats - many are international. This is in contrast with a ship of mostly senior Americans.
If you don't care about midnight buffets, third-rate talent shows, dressing up for a Captain's dinner, being herded onto a convoy of tour buses and trains, touristy/kitchy sites, then I would suggest that you look into the following site: alaska.org

Just tell them that you would prefer an educational trip and they will give you ideas of things to do that are not available to the commercial cruise lines and passengers. They will work within your budget guidelines.
You do need to see Denali, raft down the Nanana, ride on the White Pass Yukon Railroad, see whales, visit a working seaport and cannery, and meet the locals. I personally prefer the Ketchikan route over Sitka, but if you can get both, do it! While I HATE the cheesy entertainment aboard the cruises, I LOVE the vaudeville-esqueshows the students put on in the various towns - they're just pure fun!
The hotels in the interior are just so-so, even the cruise passengers get the same accommodations.
Brush up on your Robert Service Poetry, Jack London stories, learn to love all the ways salmon is served, understand that blueberries is THE desert, try the cariboo jerky, and take along plenty of insect repellent, a fly-swatter, and sunscreen.
Good luck!
P.S. Next time I visit Alaska, will be aboard the Alaska ferries and will book van tours.

If you want the experience of a life time check out this site. I am registered and ready to depart for Mexico this summer, It is not a typical tourist holiday as we stay on a 117' ship and visit the real Meixican people that live in small villages. I think this is going to be a way better time then sitting at an all inclusive resort for a week.
I'm 29 and looking to do something cool over the summer. I don't have a traveling companion, and would probably prefer to stay on continental North America or it's satellite islands.
Is there anything available for teachers? Or anything cool to do in general? Pref. with people of my age group?
