Great pictures and post. I eagerly await the blog to go with them. Get ready for the haters whom think public servants, and especially teachers should not be able to afford any such trips.

You know what...I wrote a whole reply about "teachers should not be able to afford such trips"...but I deleted it. I won't let that negativity ruin this report.
All I have to say is this...if you can't deal with your child for a couple of hours each evening and you think you need a holiday, I deal with your child plus 30 other children for 80 minutes each class...3 classes a day...10 months a year...and you expect me not only to teach your child something new each day, but to get 90's in the course.
You should be paying me to go on holiday just to babysit your child 5 times a week...nevermind trying my hardest to help your child succeed in the course...
I know that doesn't sound like a passionate teacher. I'm just laying it out like it is. I love my career and I bring all my energy to class each day. But people don't see all the work behind the scene. They just see benefits, pension, holidays as perks of teaching. Meanwhile, we spend 4-5h each night preparing lessons, marking, writing reports, calling parents...above of our regular day school hours.
Oh...I also teach night school and tutor 5 students a week.

As a husband whose wife taught in the worst parts of Scarborough for over 30 years , I agree with you totally. Most people have no idea of the dedication that teachers have to the kids and their profession. My wife just chimed in , ' that if you did not have those breaks , you would have no teachers'. How true.

I'll put up the links when the blog is written.
You and your wife should visit. We found flights as low as $800 return. Hotels can be $70/night (about 3-4 stars), or hostels can be $50/room/night. Car rental for about $300/week. Food is decent too. Eating at the local cafes and restaurants, we pay about $7-10/meal or if you stay at a guest house, you have a kitchenette and you can prepare all your breakfasts and lunches (and even dinner if you like). We made a lot of sandwiches for breakfast and lunches, then eat out for dinner. Everything was tax included. All the prices are converted to Canadian.
