Summer Plans

I can’t believe I only have six weeks left teaching left. I don’t know where the last eight months have gone!

This week I finished planning the rest of my time in Europe. My last day of teaching is June 29. Then my family is coming out to visit me. They arrive July 2. We are going to spend a couple of days in Paris then we are going to rent an RV and travel around for another week.

They leave on July 12, and then I am heading up to England to visit Sarah for two weeks. We are going to visit London, Oxford, Stonehenge and Brighton among other places. We are also planning to see a play at the Globe Theater and a West End musical. It will be fun to see England with my own personal tour guide!

I will be back in the US on July 27, which is pretty exciting because I haven’t been there since January 5. I brought my plane ticket a couple of days ago. I can’t believe how expensive it was. I looked everywhere to see what was the cheapest. I guess it is not a good idea to buy a one-way ticket in the peak of tourist season because the cheapest ticket I could find was still $850. That was the price on STA Travel, which has a special price for people under 26. Otherwise the cheapest I found was about $1200. At least the flight I booked is nonstop. That just makes life easier.

Well, I am off to plan the rest of my lessons for the week. I am working on countries with the older kids and doing food with the little guys. It will be the first full week I have worked since the beginning of April because there have been so many days off! I hope I can handle it!
