Postcard assignments for the classroom allow students who have studied world geography to show off their knowledge and to use their creative writing skills simultaneously. This assignment is best tackled later in the school year when the teacher has had the opportunity to teach about all the continents—and has also had the opportunity to collect old travel magazines, National Geographics, and other periodicals full of photos for students to clip. The finished products from this assignment can literally fill a classroom with your students’ adventures.

Vacation in the Country of Ireland
Though the island country of Ireland is the third largest island in Europe, it is small and easily traveled by car or public transport. It offers miles of coast, thousands of years worth of historical sites, unusual landscapes such as the Burren in county Clare, a reasonable temperate climate especially in summer, a rich cultural heritage and friendly English-speaking natives. Flights from U.S. cities fly into Shannon, Dublin and Cork daily and US passport holders can enter Ireland for up to three months without a visa. (See Reference One and Two and Resource Two)
Max My Visa Level on "Sims 3"
"The Sims 3" expansion pack, "World Adventures,," allows you to send your Sims on vacations to other countries within the game. You start off at the lowest Visa level and, with each visit to a country, you increase your Visa level for that country. As your Visa level increases, you are able to stay on your vacation longer and once you're maxed out, you can buy vacation homes in that country. Maxing out your Visa level is easily done, even by novice "Sims 3" players.

Taking a GPS unit on vacation can save you lots of time and hassle, especially in places where you have trouble speaking the language. Follow these steps to use GPS on vacation.
