25 May 08 Booking Your Summer Vacation - Recapture That Sense Of Adventure From A Long Time Ago
Going on holiday has always been a real adventure, when we were children we would pack our suitcases in the back of our parent’s car and drive off to some far away beach for a week and have numerous adventures which we could tell all of our friends all about when we got home. These holidays were always over too quickly and it would seem like an eternity until the next one would come along and we could relive our adventures all over again and look for new ones to keep us amused. For many of us this is where our love of travelling and holidays lays, visiting new places, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people, the adventures may not quite be the same as when we were younger but the sense of anticipation is not much different from when you were are a child. Over the years the holiday industry has become somewhat sterile and mundane with holidays being based around a complex where you are encouraged to stay and not to go out and experience your new surroundings, some people may like this but most people like a sense of adventure on holiday. So how can you bring that sense of adventure back into your vacation this year?
Ever since the inter web exploded onto the scene some 10 - 15 years ago the holiday industry has changed beyond all recognition. We can now go online and look at where we would like to go on vacation, checking out the resort, the local bars and restaurants to make sure they look like the sort of places where we would like to spend our money as well as the surrounding area to make sure there is plenty for all the family to do when we are there. Although this may sound like taking the adventure out of the holiday it does build a sense of anticipation regarding all the things you can look forward to doing when you are there.
If you really want to get the true flavour of where you want to go on your vacation you should look to book a holiday home with a pool so you have the freedom to come and go and explore the area at your own pace, and on those days where you do not really fancy doing anything strenuous you can just sit and relax by the pool. The pool is an important tool whilst on holiday because no matter how much children enjoy going on an adventure they do not always want to do it sat in the back of a car, as many parents will testify it does not take long for tempers to fray when out on a day trip if the kids start to get restless. Booking a holiday home with a pool can be worth its weight in gold for these very such days.
27 Apr 08 Top 5 Places to See on an Ancient History Holiday
With Indiana Jones back in the cinemas once more, an interest in ancient civilisations is no longer confined to professors and archaeologists. Indeed, cultural heritage holidays are growing increasingly popular, with many AITO tour operators offering trips that look at some of the most notable ancient ruins in the world. While most of the great monuments of ancient civilisations have been eroded or destroyed, some still survive, and visiting one of these sites is like going on a holiday in ancient history. In addition to being spectacular structures in their own right, they form an invaluable part of any cultural heritage holiday, giving a glimpse of a way of life that has long since disappeared.
If you fancy yourself as the next academic adventurer and are considering a cultural heritage holiday abroad, here are five of the most important places to visit around the world.
The Parthenon, Greece
Anyone on a specialised classical Greece holiday will see many amazing sights, including the Temple at Delphi and the ruins of the Temple of Zeus at Mount Olympus. But dwarfing them all is the Parthenon in Athens, often regarded as the most important classical monument that is still standing today. It is an ancient temple to the goddess Athena, and is one of the finest examples of ancient Greek architecture and artwork. The inside is a treasure trove of sculptures (though much of its content now resides in the British museum), and the temple is placed in an unforgettable location on the Acropolis, looking down over Athens.
Machu Picchu, Peru
This "Lost City of the Incas" was only rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century, and is an essential place to visit for those interested in past civilisations. Situated on top of a mountain above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, this excellently preserved site is the one of the finest remaining examples of Inca architecture and has been voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
You can reach Machu Picchu by train from Cusco, but for a really adventurous cultural heritage holiday you can walk the Inca Trail, a multi day hike through a number of Inca ruins that reaches Machu Picchu at sunrise on the fourth day.
Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt
Out of the Seven Wonders of the World listed by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one that can still be seen today on an ancient history holiday to Egypt. Built over 4500 years ago, the Pyramid was built as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Cheops. It took over twenty years to construct, and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for several thousand years.
18 Aug 07 New Zealand Flight Deals
New Zealand. Waterfalls, green forests, white sand beaches, volcanoes, deep fjords… Sounds like it is enough as to choose it as a travel destination? Sure it does. But this is just the lovely part! When it comes to look for the plane tickets things become a bit more tricky and sometimes can even frustrate a trip you want to do. Don’t let this feeling turn you off! Let’s take a look at how you can get New Zealand Flight Deals.
First, let’s kill the bad ones!
There are several ways we can find New Zealand flight deals today, but most of them are absolutely not useful. First of all, let me kill all the search engines that run with an affiliate network. This involves all the famous ones, as they have become famous because affiliates promote them. After you’ve killed all this search engines, let’s eliminate some airlines: Cathay Pacific will never have the best deal, as well as the Thai Airlines. Sorry guys, but they simply are repeatedly more expensive. Any other? Yes, New Zealand airlines is most of the time more expensive too, as well as British Airways.
What’s left then? You’ve killed them all!
There are some left, even if not many! First of all, I recommend the search engine called Flightcentre. This guys have many trips that are more expensive than in other places, but if you check their deals section you will find things that nowhere else appear. They operate in the US, in Canada, in Australia and in the UK.
When it comes to airlines, let me tell you that the only ones standing are Singapore Airlines and Korean Air. They have always the best New Zealand flight deals., At the time of writing Korean Air brings you from London to Auckland in New Zealand for just 870 Euros, which is by far the best price in the market, but you need to book it through Flighcentre. Singapore Airlines is today at 950 Euros, but things can change very quickly. You’ll find this special price at their Local Promotion Fares page.
18 Mar 07 Great Vacation Ideas - Be Creative With Your Meals
As a “Professional Vacationer,” I often times am blown away by how easily we tourists are taken advantage of. The prices at some places are astounding, and down right despicable. That’s why I want to write some fun vacation ideas (hopefully several to come) that will help you be able to save a little cash, while still being able to enjoy the scenery and activities around you - making a memorable getaway.
This is one of the best travel tips you might get in regards to dining out because it’s both entertaining and inexpensive. The reason I like this, as well, is because it’s a good way to dive into the culture without breaking your wallet.
Although this idea will sound like it’s limited to a couple of settings such as a romantic getaway, or family outing, it can be used for many other fun vacation ideas such as:
- Cruises
- Beaches
- Resorts
- Weekend Getaways
- Disney World
- Honeymoons
