Tours planned for summer 2010

by Norm

Feb 24, 2009

I am starting to organize tours for the summer of 2010, believe it or not, for adults only. Presently looking at July 1 for a 10 day tour to Paris, Loire Valley etc. and also another one mid-July going to the Galapagos Islands. If you would like to receive information about these tours, just email me and will keep you in the loop.

Ann Is there European travel organized for latter half of July? Also, is anyone going July to Bridges Math in Hungary?

Nate I am an NYC math teacher, and I will be at the Bridges conference. I plan travel afterwords, and would love to coordinate with a group of other teachers for part of it. I am planning to visit Prague, Vienna, and possibly Paris.

More Bad News for NETC

by T. Allen

Mar 13, 2009

We thought this would be the trip of our life, but it has out to be a nightmare, one disappointment after another! You would think a large company (in appearance) would be able to make travel arrangements and forecast small enrollments or Tours in advance, not NETC, they wait till the 120th day deadline to change your Tour and offer you what they w...See More

Audrey Merry I am available to travel this summer only because of inclement weather we aren't out until Mid June. I got a suggestion from my mom about possible cruise travel, I know the packages are inexpensive so that is an option as well. Let me know

I am wanting to go to UK this summer and looking fro travel agencies or places that help teachers travel on a teacher budget. Help!!!

Brenda Dear DeAnne,

I don't know how "vagabond" you are in your travel, but I can tell you from my own experience that it is not difficult to find places to stay. We NEVER make reservations except for the first and last nights of our stay. All the others are found as we go. You may not save any money that way, but you certainly get to pick those ...See More

Shamina Dear DeAnne,

We are a small B%B hotel in Kensington London UK. We offer very competitive rates. Please have a look at [link removed].

If you are travelling in a group we can also negotiate group rates.

I hope to hear from you soon

Regards,

Shamina

Warning: Avoid EF Tours

by mcculljm

Apr 13, 2009

Teachers: Just an FYI--EF will not follow through on its point redemption plans--in small print it says they can change their rules at anytime AND THEY WILL. In fact, they make the rule changes retroactive to impact points you've already earned. This is going to ruin my plans for the summer, but they won't even let me speak to a supervisor about th...See More

Travel Advisor I work for a travel agency so I will not recommend any companies since that would be biased. The best thing to do would be to look at all the online reviews and read the terms and conditions for each company. Make sure before you book you know everything they promise and have it in writing.

P.S- This trip may be expensive because London/I...See More

(They have to be purchased in advance in the US, or they are more expensive.)

Actually, you can travel well independently if you contact the respective visitors' bureaus and ask for assistance in planning your trip. They have bureaus in the US. So you can contact the British Tourist Authority, Irish one, and those representing the towns you want to visit.

Public transportation is the way to go if you really want to meet the locals - and both British and Irish are very hospitable (I have been invited to their homes for supper etc.)

There are a lot of one day and half day tours one can take using your hotel as a hub in London etc.

The airlines also have family packages that can include tours.

Plan ahead from your armchair - and you'll have a much better time than on an organized tour.
