You won't have to worry about site closures, travel schedules or reservations and your entire trip will be managed smoothly with no fuss and no hassles.

A package tour can also give you and your students access to excursions that may not otherwise be available to other travelers. Taking a package tour is the absolute best way to travel in a group if you want to get the most out of your trip.

Wherever you go in Europe, make sure that your students bring along travel journals and cameras, because you're sure to have a trip full of thrilling adventures that you'll want to remember for a lifetime.

A Roadside Eating Place

We don’t mind eating in a modest place as long as we enjoy the food and the place looks clean enough.  Several days ago, my husband and I visited this roadside eating place that offers traditional dish from Surabaya city (East Java, Indonesia). I have some favorite menus there. 

This place has red touch here and there. While those men preparing the food, I took some shots for Ruby Tuesday 2  :-)

Pink Adenium

Also called Desert Rose. This plant belongs to a friend. It can be made bonsai; I notice that Adenium bonsai is very well-liked here.
