Hi!
I don’t get on here too often! As for planning a trip-I’d def. skip the company and plan on your- call and get quotes for luxury coach buses after you get your plans set.

A tour compnay will most likely make you use tour guides, who may or may not be any good, they will also require tips, and you will not have the freedom to make changes even on the day of the trip if you want to..

I was looking into doing an eigth grade trip for my students this year (after many years of talking about it). Do you have any companies that you would suggest to go with?

Comment on The Casualities of Mandated State Testing by songsfromthebackyard

I don’t envy you! The eighth grade testing tough -tough for teachers, tough for kids. At least you guys are testing in at the end of April instead of the beginning of March. Last year, I had some students who peaked later. That means their writing improved in April instead of mid-March. If they had taken the test at the end of April, I think they would have done much better. Anyway, hang in there!
You’re half way through!

Comment on i want the wii??? by songsfromthebackyard

I want one too! Funny thing though, my son doesn’t. I asked him if he’d rather have an XBox like some of his friends, but he doesn’t want that either! I used to think that it was great that he wasn’t interested in video games, but after reading Datacloud, I’m thinking maybe, by not playing video games, his education may be lacking! Who would’ve thought. I’m also thinking that maybe I should be playing them, too! Like you said “who woulda thought!”

Comment on Gravy or Sauce??? by unshrouded

Yes, it is sauce for me as well, but amazing how many gravy eaters on pasta there are out there;)

I am half Italian-descent, but the Italian side of the family is quite large since my Mom is one of 9. There isn’t anyone on the Italian side of my family who uses the term “gravy”. EVERYONE says “sauce”. We’re from South Jersey, not Philadelphia. Maybe that makes a difference? I do know that my friends who come from Philadelphia-Italian families seem to use the term “gravy” which was very odd for me because “gravy” is the brown stuff that goes on roast beef and mashed potatoes – and that tastes AWEFUL on spaghetti!

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I decided to take a technology vacation. . . just left my blog alone for awhile. It seems to have worked for me because here I am responding to you.
