100 Natural Wonders Of The World. "I want to go to there" & KRISATOMIC. Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany by Luiz Pires There are so many places I want to see, I’ve been browsing and bookmarking and basically putting together travel porn (oh dear, that phrase isn’t going to be good for my blog search results is it). I’m going to Nice in may and maybe Davos in the summer, so that should satisfy me for the year. If I had unlimited funds I’d do a leisurely Trans Siberian Railway route through Russia and then travel around China and Japan. Where would you go? St. Hanoi, Vietnam by Larpoon.

Beaches mark the borders between sea and land, and as such have unique characteristics derived from both geological parents (no wonder everyone wants a beach home). These 10 amazing beaches showcase the best, the brightest and the most sublime sandy shores ever to rock your world! Red Beach, Kaihalulu, Hawaii (images via: Patrick Smith and Xigre) The Red Sand Beach of Kaihalulu can be found on the Hawaiian island of Maui, south of Hana Bay on the far side of Ka’uiki Hill. The beach is relatively narrow, a factor which combined with its isolation makes it popular with nude sunbathers. (image via: About.com/Hawaii) From high overhead, the Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach takes on a rusty hue reflecting the high iron oxide (rust) content in the sand eroding from an inland cinder cone.

Her planning is reminding me of the only time I’ve been to Greece, on a Mediterranean cruise with my mom, and one particularly fun day we spent on Mykonos. Mom and I learned quickly that we did not want to be anywhere near the cruise ship tours where you get herded around town with 20 other people following a guide all day. When we landed in Mykonos we let the rest of the passengers rush to their tours and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast. We got to talking to a nice couple who were also enjoying a later breakfast and avoiding the ship tours. Cindy and Phil mentioned they planned on renting scooters for the day and invited us to join them.
So that’s just what we did! First we rode to the main area of Mykonos Town and visited the windmills and Little Venice. It was a beautiful day and as we started getting out of town it was a blast to feel the wind in our faces as we scooted over the hills of the island. How Cruise Lines Fill All Those Unsold Cruise Cabins. Last Updated: 4/06/2014 21:24 PST A luxury cruise is one of life’s pure joys. Today’s modern cruise liners are engineering marvels; floating 5-star hotels that offer the best service, accommodation, cuisine, and activities. They visit exotic locales, with non-stop relaxation or stimulation, depending on your pleasure. Over the past few years, cruise companies have spared no expense and literally invested billions in jaw-dropping super ships. Even if you’ve cruised before, you probably have not experienced anything like these new marvels. But, the best news is that due to the slowdown in travel caused by the recession and significant overcapacity in the industry, savvy travelers can now book once-in-a-lifetime cruises at insanely low prices.
How does 80 percent off the brochure price sound? Founded more than 25 years ago, Vacations To Go realized that taking a cruise vacation was a new experience for many. But, what about the discounts? 515512main_prominence_Earthscale-033010-orig_full.jpg from nasa.gov. Earth View. Travel etiquette 101: body language. You step over someone’s legs in Nepal and don’t even realize you’ve committed a grave social taboo! Although most locals will excuse breaches in etiquette, wouldn’t you rather be informed? Read below for a list of etiquette tips, taken from our various guidebooks, to help you navigate different parts of the world. 1.
In Asia, never touch any part of someone else's body with your foot, which is considered the 'lowest' part of the body. If you accidentally do this, apologize by touching your hand to the person's arm and then touching your own head. Don't point at objects or people with your feet, don't prop your feet on chairs or tables while sitting. – From the Lonely Planet Thailand travel guide (and other Asia guidebooks) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Who cares if London's hotels and restaurants tend to be on the expensive side?
No city in the world has more free stuff to do. In addition to world-class museums without a ticket admission, you get the parks, canal walks, super markets (Portobello Road Market at Notting Hill Gate, Camden Market at Chalk Farm Rd, wonderful Columbia Road Flower Market at Gosset St in East London etc) and maybe some royal-spotting, and you can fill a life. London, thank you! Here's the mere start of the free list: 1. Borough Market Around, more or less, since the 13th century, the Borough Market is stuffed with food-lovers and all you need for a memorable grab-and-go breakfast or lunch. 2.

Sasha Cagen: Five Reasons to Travel Alone. During 2010, as I traveled alone through France, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina, I regularly encountered people who found it courageous of me to travel alone. I remember a hairstylist in Bogota. As she blow-dryed my hair, she told me she couldn't picture it. I asked her why. She couldn't really say. So it goes. For most people, traveling alone is unimaginable. Traveling alone still gives me a thrill -- but it's not scary anymore, I've done it so much. Here are five reasons to travel alone, some classic, some idiosyncratic. 2. 3. 4. When we set out on an extended travel by ourselves, we may not know why we are going when we begin, and it may only be clear when we come back. 5.

Hotel Igloo Village. Catching one of nature’s jaw-dropping light shows, the auroras, can be a chilly experience, especially in the northern hemisphere. Away from the distracting city lights and city comforts and into dark, cold wilderness can be a daunting experience for some. So for those of us who would still like to catch a glimpse of the awe-inspiring northern lights, but would prefer to be relatively warm, there is a place out in northern Finland, amongst the reindeer, where you can find a field of igloos.
Except the igloos here are not made from snow. Instead, the igloos here are made from glass that might be mistaken for clear transparent ice. This is Hotel Kakslauttanen, where the experience of viewing the northern lights can be done from a comfortable bed in a warm room with a special glass that keeps all the heat in. But the star attraction is the panoramic view of the majestic night sky. And hopefully, from your bed, you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of nature’s light show, the aurora borealis.
