Where to go for 2 months ?

Our company announced recently that all employees over 10 yrs get a 2 month paid sabbatical, and then again every 7 years. Since I am eligible, I would like to take my family sailing somewhere for 2 months(husband, 10yr boy and 9 yr girl). Does anyone have suggestions where to begin and some areas to consider? I would like it to be fun, memorable and educational for my children. They have not really been cruising for extended periods (we have chartered in the carribean and own a boat). I''ve only been sailing about 5 years and do not have offshore experience, just coastal cruising, and my husband has very little sailing experience so I don''t want the sailing to be too difficult for anyone. As for the time of year to go, I am leaving that open and hope that I could pull them out of school at anytime and home school them for 2 months.

I was reading sail magazine that said the mediterranean, canary islands, french polynesia are great areas. I figure I can go to the caribbean anytime.

Does anyone have suggestions on where to go or how to get started?
