Hi Eve,
As far as the BEST place, that will be up to individual tastes & the position you seek.
As a general statement, the most lucrative places are northern Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan) & the Middle East (the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait), though there may be the odd position elsewhere that can compete (Singapore, Hong Kong, England, Germany)
Salaries vary DRAMATICALLY around the world. A teacher with your skills should expect (top of the line, international schools) $3000 a month (northern Asia), up to about 4200-4500/month (the Middle East), plus benefits (housing, transp, insurance, holidays, etc).
Hope that helps. Be well and God bless.

In education,

Thanks Clay for your information. I was thinking that some of the places I was interested in have offered me very little. Even being in the Gulf, I was offered under 4000 a month so I think it depends on your timing, your interview, etc. I do have a lot of good experience and things to offer. I am applying for college postings in the states and with the public school district. Comptetition is fierce. If I were offered a substantial salary in the Middle East, I would go to help pay off some of the credit card debt we have accumulated...I did enjoy living overseas.
