I will be a three hour plane flight from Miami directly to the town of Barcelona, Venezuela which is adjacent to Puerto La Cruz. There are some South American based airlines that carry good deals on this flight. Also check out Margarita Island (www.margarita-island-venezuela.com)-a short ferry ride from Puerto La Cruz. Tempted yet? Get a passport and come visit!

ON MY WAY!!!!
The recruiting fair is over, the contract is signed, I leave at the end of July!
Thursday I had two interviews in the afternoon and ended up getting a job at both schools-Puerto La Cruz and Curacao (an island near Aruba). The fair officially started that evening with registration and an orientation. Friday morning the 45 schools from Latin America who were here to find teachers to hire were set up around the ballroom at tables. Candidates stood in line to have a five minute chat with the recruiter who would then decide to offer an interview slot or not for later that day or the next. I was able to secure an interview at all the other schools on my list-Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Curitaba, ....I had to rush out of the sign up session after only 40 minutes, though, because I had a SKYPE (vidoe chat) interview with a school from Yugoslavia online. As soon as I finished that interview, I was off on a five hour run of back to back interviews. By this morning, I had two contracts in hand, and three other firm offers. I was fortunate to have so many options-some candidates were not even offered more than one interview.
So, ......I am headed to Puerto La Cruz Venezuela at the end of July. It is a Caribbean beach resort town. Get your passports ready and plan to come visit me please!
