February is the time of year when thoughts turn to warmer climes: if you're currently stumbling through snowdrifts and the idea of exotic ports of call and practicing language on sunny shores next winter seems appealing, consider a semester at sea: the Institute for Shipboard Education's registration is open for the fall 2007 semester's voyage, scheduled to include stops at Myanmar, Croatia and Spain. And SEA's 2007 summer voyages will head for ports in Costa Rica, Chile and Guatemala (applications still being taken, but move quick). Learn about both of those seafaring classrooms:
