Tents on the beach
Yes, Tucson is a lovely place to visit. But where I really want to go to next is here. Several years ago, my friends Carl and Michelle spent a vacation here, tenting on the beach. Ever since, I have wanted to go.
But the problem with teaching is that your vacation time is always peak time. I have a week off in March, but can you get a flight from Toronto to Cancun for anything resembling a reasonable amount at that time of year? The answer is no.
So, Grant and I sigh, and dream about swinging in hammocks while the tropical breezes blow, discussing our visit to Chichen Itza and sipping our cocktails by candlelight.

Hmmm, couldn't you arrange a 'field trip' *wink*
Okay kids, go count some stuff and then figure out the, er, science behind it all. And I'll be on the beach.
*sigh* sounds like a lovely vacation.
You could tie in social studies too ;)
Oooh, the Yucatan--exploring ruins and tenting on the beach... That sounds like paradise.
You should suggest to your union they start working on a fund to send over-worked teachers to the Yucatan for spring break. As the suggestee, you could be sent to do a plausibility study...

Jim and Jenn offer very good suggestions [up]
