I believe that travel is one of the best educational experience a person can have. We learn about new areas, about other people while having fun. I have, in the above links, put together travel links to over 100 countries, 250 Airlines, 150 Airports and other great holiday planning resources, from around the world to help you plan your travels and vacations. To help you save money I have linked to a very good currency converter  and a great currency cheat sheet which you can print out and carry with you when you travel.

I have just opened up an on-line store called The Arm Chair Traveller. Read about it before you go! Please visit and let me know what you think.

Miscellaneous Information and Useful Sites

I found a great resource for teachers and others who love to travel, and want a unique experience and also want to keep their costs down.. Check outThe Teachers Travel Web. The Teachers' Travel Web is owned and operated by teachers, Mike and Tricia Legg, of New Zealand, for teachers around the world. To Quote from their Web Site

"For several years we have hosted teachers from the USA, Britain, New Zealand and Canada in our home in the beautiful resort area of the Bay of Islands, in the North of New Zealand.

In that time, we have realised that teachers and other workers in education deserve breaks away from the classroom, and lots of them! They all seem to share the same ideals and values, making them special and compatible house guests.

We have spent many hours sharing ideas, showing our part of New Zealand with pride, and developing global friendships. At the end of a stay, the farewells always lead to exchanges of addresses and promises to keep in touch.

We would like you to be able to experience this too, as you share your part of the world with others in the Teachers' Travel Web, and in turn, you travel to discover new places and friends, in an affordable way."

I highly recommend this site.It is a great resource for teachers and others, check it out, bookmark it and join today.
