About

Rejuvenate and experience a new part of the world

From weekend trips to lengthy overseas sojourns, there's no excuse not to get away every once in a while to rejuvenate and experience a new part of the world. However, you don't always need to travel to far-flung destinations to experience the holiday buzz. The UAE is surrounded by countries that can be reached by short haul flight but feel worlds away when it comes to landscapes, culture and cuisine. Consider spending time in the lush green hills of Sri Lanka, or snorkelling in the abundant waters of the Seychelles or Maldives. If you are a history buff nothing can beat exploring the pyramids in Egypt or walking through the ground of Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. If you prefer to get off the beaten track check out the rock hewn churches of Ethiopia or safari in Kenya.

#Airplane Ticket Prices On Rise Despite Lower Jet Fuel Costs - NBC News

Copy this code to your website or blog

As families across America get ready for Thanksgiving, they may find it easier to drive to grandma's house now that gas prices have fallen in many parts of the country. But holiday travel won't exactly be a Black Friday bargain. Airplane ticket fares are actually up this season — even as airlines save about $31 million a week on lower jet fuel prices.

Flying non-stop this Thanksgiving will cost American travelers about 10 to 15 percent more than last year — even though jet fuel prices have dropped 17 percent in the same time span.

The fares tell the story, so NBC News asked FareCompare, a travel planning website, to run a few price checks: A commercial flight from Detroit to San Francisco today averages $591 — a jump from $508 last year. Seattle to Dallas today averages $403 — compared to $347 last year.

The spike in ticket prices is all abou ... Read more »

I have to say is that Bill was a great help in planning our vacation last year to Hawaii with 2 islands. Oahu was like visiting any big city with all the traps of shopping and over priced restaurants.  Unfortunately, our hotel was not as we expected and felt like it was a motel 6 catered to Asians. It was in a good location but, not that of a 4/5 star.  Our 2nd destination to Maui was a 5 star exactly what we expected.  Royal Lahaina. awesome hotel! Had everything we were looking for in a nice trip to Hawaii. Customer service and everyone was just wonderful to interact with.  Overall, All season was very helpful in booking and getting us what we were asking for. Thanks for all the help. All Seasons

#Americans travel to Russia. Is it safe?

Will you be with a group or are you traveling independently?

I think this would be the time to be part of an organized tour, whose managers would be in charge of the safety of their clients and who'd keep themselves informed and proceed accordingly. They'd also be the ones to contact about your concerns.

I have travelled to Russia several times (although I have to admit that I am not American).

You will not notice any confrontational issues, just normal daily life. Ukraine is very far away from Moscow.

A couple of years ago, the USA had an issue with a Caribbean island called Grenada. Had foreign tourists trouble with travelling to New York or Washington D.C.?

Same with Russia. There are loads of American tourists and business people in Russia and they are treated in a civilized way.

#Argentina Travel

Studded with outstanding natural wonders and endowed with one of the world’s hot-list cities, Argentina is a vast and varied land. Tapering from the Tropic of Capricorn towards the tip of Antarctica it encompasses a staggering diversity of terrains, from the lush wetlands of the Litoral and the bone-dry Andean plateaux of the Northwest to the end-of-the-world archipelago of Tierra del Fuego. Its most emblematic landscapes are the verdant flatlands of the Pampas and the dramatic steppe of Patagonia, whose very name evokes windswept plains inhabited by hardy pioneers.

At first glance, Argentina may seem less “exotic” than the rest of South America and its inhabitants will readily, and rightly, tell you how powerful an influence Europe has been on their nation. It has been quipped that Argentina is the most American of all European countries and the most European of all American countries, but it actually has a very special character all of its own, distilled ...

A comprehensive ranking of the world's top outfitters—surveyed, sorted, and scored.

For the second time in as many years, we’ve conducted an unprecedented survey of adventure travel companies, based on the idea that a traveler’s most important decision is not always where to go but who to go with. For the 2009 edition, we spoke to more guide services—and their clients—than ever before (248 in all). We contacted companies that lead 85,000 people a year and those that cater to a hundred. We surveyed paddling outfitters, trekking guides, safari specialists, and the ones that do it all. We evaluated companies that will take you places you’ve only dreamed of (the Tibetan Plateau, the Serengeti on foot) and those that specialize in your own backyard (the Grand Canyon, the Grand Tetons).

So without further adieu, here are our favorite travel-friendly devices from this year.

1. Fun 'n' Games

Favorite: Since its launch in February, the PlayStation Vita has continually wowed us with fun titles that take advantage of the handheld's cool graphics, sensors, and cameras. We like the cross-platform play of MLB 12 The Show. the entertainingly intellectual Smart As. and the retro arcade revamp Spy Hunter. As you might guess, we're drawn to the travel-themed I am an Air Traffic Controller Airport Hero Haneda. Plus, we a ... Read more »

#Cheap Flights to Europe

Europe is truly a cultural melting pot comprised of many countries, each with their own unique traditions, heritages, and lifestyles. Many young people, especially American youth, consider it something of duty to visit Europe at least once while they are young, with backpacking treks still being a highly popular tourist adventure. Whether it is traveling to beautiful Paris with its luxurious coffee shops and famous Eiffel Tower or to Germany s wild and crazy Oktoberfest festival, there is so much to see and do in this wonderful space.

Cheap Flights to Europe

To say Europe experiences a high volume of flight traffic is a sheer understatement, as the United Kingdom s London Heathrow, France s Paris-Charles de Gaulle, and Germany s Frankfurt Airports collectively transported 200 million domestic and foreign passengers alone in 2013. These figures are comparable for the Netherlands, Turkey, Spain, and many of the other internatio ... Read more »

#Central France.

To see some of France’s purest, most unadulterated scenes of natural beauty, travel to Auvergne, just south of central France. Here lies the heaven for specific breeds of enthusiasts: hikers, nature-lovers and skiers. It suffices to say that Auvergne is reserved for those who prefer to spend time outdoors, but it is truly incredible to note just how geographically unique this place is.

To the north we have the department of Allier, an agricultural area surrounded by soft, rolling hills and vast valleys. Vichy, a city in the south of Allier, is a famous spa destination known for its sources of mineral water (as well as for having been the capital of the Vichy regime in France during the German occupation, from 1940 to 1944). An expansive volcanic belt dominates Central Auvergne, most notable of which is the Massif du Sancy. It attracts many skiers and vacationers during the winter months for being a popular resort destination.

If you’re thirsting for ... Read more »
