Las Vegas for its day trips – 15

worldtravelexpert — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:37:14 +0000

I went to Vegas a few months ago and I simply did not go to gamble. I have absolutely nothing against gambling at all and here in the UK I enjoy a flutter each year on the Grand National Horse race and a bit of money on the football. Visiting Vegas means the chance for some quite amazing day trips.

Vegas Day Trips I strongly recommend are the:

Grand Canyon Day tour
Death Valley
Red Rock and
Hoover Dam

I recommend to stay in Las Vegas and thus you will be able to stay in a very nice hotel (and quite cheaply). In most hotels you can get picked up for the tours and a company such as Viatour.com or your hotel concierge can organise the fay trips.

Note: For the Grand Canyon trip you will have the chance to add-on the helicopter ride and/or the Skywalk.

Red Rock Vegas

Note: For Death Valley there are some months in the summer time when the tours are halted because it is simply too hot.

You can also of course enjoy what Vegas has to offer, with time in the evenings for a show or two and a good meal and few weeks. Many of the tours get you back to your hotel for 6-7pm. You can learn more about Las Vegas Tours and learn about the best hotels in Vegas. You can also find some cheap Las Vegas Hotels online.

Cuba: Visiting a cigar factory in Havana – 12

Aiming to visit a country such as Cuba and make it to a cigar factory in Havana, is not perhaps up there witth thrill seeking and adrenaline rushing travel. In terms of a cultural experience and holiday or vacation to remember though, heading to Cuba is a wonderful option.

There are still certain restrictions and the best way can often be to head to Cuba as part of a package tour. I asm not a

Cuba and Havana travel

great fan of package tours but at the time of writing, and being based in England, by far the easiest way to visit Cuba is with a company such as First Choice Holidays or Virgin Holidays.

As well as a tour of a cigar factory, there are some quite stunning beaches, excellent Cuban food and some very vibrant and catchy music, including Jazz Cubano. You can learn more about Traveling to Cuba

Glastonbury Music Festival – 7

worldtravelexpert — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 23:14:22 +0000

Tickets are still available for the 2008 festival and the weather is predicted to be settled. Taking place on the 27 -29th June 2008 and an annual event, Glastonbury is one of the largest Music Festivals in the world. With roughly 150,000 each year and hundreds of performers, this years line up is scheduled to include:

Editors
Kate Nash
Amy Winehouse
Manu Chao
Leonard Cohen
Neil Diamond
The Hoosiers
Pete Doherty
Dizzee Rascal

The line-up is huge and in addition to musicians, there are the other tents including the comedy tent, circus tent and theatre tent. If you have never been to a Glastonbury Music Festival in the past this year is your chance, with tickets still surprisingly available.

Tickets are not cheap but at £155 for 3 days entertainment where you can see dozens of fanmouse musicians, you cannot go wrong. If I myself had not already accidently already booked that weekend for a trip to France, I’d be going to Glastonbury again this year.

A holiday in a Jungle – 4

If you really want to try something different then why not consider a trip to the jungle. A holiday or vacation in the jungle’s of Borneo or in part of South America can certainly be a fun and thrilling way to take a break with a difference.

There are quite a fee companies who specialise in Jungle holidays and many of these trips are group orientated and with a guide, so you will also meet some interesting peope and get to experience the jungle. You might be better off

going on an organised trip into the jungle for safety reasons.

A similar type trip you might be interested in are trips to the rainforest to explore a different and thrilling vacation. There is always the idea that such trips are part of sustainable tourism but trips to the jungle perhaps open the way for mass tourism so it is for you to decide if the jungle is your cup of tea.

The second in the list of 1000 unusual and different travel ideas is to holiday without your clothes. There is no need to re-read the first sentence because you read correctly the first time! Naturism is one of the fastest growing forms of tourism and naturist cruises, naturist flights and naturism travel have all become more widely reported in recent years, in newspaper travel sections.

Our second holiday with a difference for this reason is to take a week’s holiday at the worlds largest naturism resort, Cap D’agde in the South of France. Cap d’Agde at the peak of summer has tens of thousands of peopel enjoying a holiday or vacation in the buff and this self-contained naturist resort has everything.
