Under Adventure+ Exotic locations+ Overland travel+ family vacations
The Adventure Company have extended their range of holidays on offer this year. They’ve increased their Family Adventures range and devised some great new Worldwide Adventures plus there’s a selection of very exciting Hands On Adventures - 12 trips designed to give passengers the chance to give something very real back to the regions they visit. These fantastic holidays have time scheduled into their itineraries (usually 2-3 days) to be spent helping out at projects directly benefiting the local people or helping towards conservation initiatives. Adventures range from participating with turtle patrols in Costa Rica (bound to be a family favorite!) to helping with English lessons and games at an orphanage in Vietnam and lots of other exciting choices.
There are also 6 new Adventure Collection trips, 21 new Worldwide Adventures and 9 new Family Adventures (incorporating 5 new Teenage itineraries).
Now with The Adventure Company you can stay with the family in Sweden’s Ice Hotel, go canopy climbing in Borneo or live as a gaucho in Argentina. In the Worldwide brochure there’s an increased range of overland adventures, adding holidays in Australia and New Zealand and further increasing their trekking range. The choices available are so varied, and there are so many of them, that you are sure to find something just right for you.

If you like the idea of visiting India, not just as a passive onlooker but an active participant, helping to provide health care facilities, Relief Workers International would be pleased to hear from you.
RWI are offering 2 voluntourist trips to India in the early part of 2009. The first runs from January 29 through February 9 and the second from February 27 through March 10. The cost of the trip is $5,950 per person, with a single supplement of $1,200 if you are traveling alone. This covers not just your accommodation and meals but also entertainment and a contribution towards delivering the humanitarian relief carried out by RWI, who are mainly concerned with providing free cataract eye surgery. It does not cover air fares, but does include travel to and from the airport in India.
If you are interested, full details are on the Relief Workers International site.

Under Attractions+ Exotic locations+ Short breaks+ Travel tips+ family vacations
When you’re planning a vacation to a destination that’s new to you, it helps if you can find out a bit about the place before you leave. And although you can find information on many different vacation destinations on our main site, it never hurts to add a new resource to the list.
I’ve just come across a new resource that I think will definitely add value when you’re planning your itinerary. It’s called There are Places World Travel Guides.
The site is well laid out and loads up quickly, even though there are plenty of attractive pictures of various places - even on the home page. Once there, you can select either by continent, and then click on through to the country, state and so on, or just choose from one of the most popular city or country destinations on the right hand side.
There are videos of many of the places described as well, so the site is well worth a visit, even if you’re just browsing.
