Allow
me to introduce myself; I’m Nadine, a travel expert who like
many is suffering the gloom of the recession and almost grabbing
for straws in my search for excitement in 2009. I also have a somewhat
shameful confession to make as an expert of this industry, which
is that despite my extensive travels, I have yet to take a proper
round the world trip. As such, I’ve decided to combat my current
inertness by mapping out a potential travel itinerary. So if any
other gals out there are looking for a multi-leg adventure, here’s
are some of my suggestions.
New York...
Why not start
your journey with the city that never sleeps, New York. Not
only is it a global financial hub, it’s also a centre
of culture, an icon of fashion and a trend setter for all
that is classifiable as avant garde. Its broad range of offerings
mean that travellers boarding flights
to New York can look forward to pretty much anything their
heart desires whether it be theatre, shopping, delectable
food or fabulous night life – the Big Apple has it all.
P.S. Before
we proceed further, those ladies who are pregnant or have
families might be concerned over the logistics of travelling
with children. But there’s no reason why you can’t
enjoy at least a portion of this adventure. The website Cheapflights.co.uk
shows you how with tips on Travelling
with Children and Travelling
When Pregnant to create a bump free voyage – pardon
the pun.

Florida...
Back
over on the south eastern coast of the US lays Florida, home
to Orlando’s Disney World where Mickey Mouse awaits
to welcome adoring fans from all walks of life. But flights
to Florida offer more than a trip into fantasy because
the ‘Sunshine State’ also comprises miles of sandy
beaches and impressive museums. Alternatively, those heading
down to Miami can indulge in decadent night life and divers
will be happy to note that Florida holds North America’s
only live coral barrier reef.
|
Canada...
And
for those craving the great outdoors, flights
to Canada are the ones to book because this vast land
serves up everything from the national parks, lakes and rivers
of Toronto and Ottawa to swimming at the beach or enjoying
some of the world’s best skiing in Vancouver. Whatever
your appetite for activity commands, Canada’s choices
are limitless.
|
Thailand...
Away
from the North Americas and over to the east where flights
to Thailand beckon infused with coconut flavoured cuisine,
cocktails drenched with fresh exotic fruits, and infamous
nightlife. Although thoughts of Thailand normally conjure
images of white sandy beach, its nature is also laced with
mountains and lush rainforests. And for a city vibe, visitors
to its capital, Bangkok, can look forward to experiencing
its renowned temples, street markets, boating trips on the
Chao Praya River and strolls through Lumpini Park.
|
India...
In
keeping with the eastern theme are those passengers disembarking
from flights
to India, a world brimming over with sights, sounds, colours
and scents to permeate and delight your senses. This land
of spirituality juxtaposed by opulence and poverty offers
a boundless choice of notorious attractions such as the Taj
Mahal in Agra, the Golden Temple of Amritsar, the Rajasthan
Forts and the Kerala Backwaters. But India is more than just
a cultural haven of palaces, forts and temples; it also offers
an exuberant nightlife, world class hotels, a rich and vast
cuisine, celebrated markets and glorious beaches.
|
Turkey...
Away
from the east and moving back towards the west is Turkey,
where Occident and Orient blend together to create an irresistible
cocktail. Travellers stepping off flights
to Turkey can take their pick of sun, sand and clear blue
sea or vibrant markets packed with retail therapy and bustling
nightlife. Istanbul in particular is noted around the world
for its outstanding quality and quantity of bars, clubs and
restaurants. For a truly Turkish experience combining nightlife
with food stalls, venture over to Cicek Pasaj in Beyoglu.
And don’t forget to pick up some Turkish Delight –
its scrumptious sweetness and mouth watering flavour will
no doubt leave you feeling absolutely delighted!
|
Spain...
Spain,
a home away from home for British travellers, many of whom
step off flights
to Tenerife and head into their holiday home by the beach.
But this island in the Canaries offers a lot more than just
fun in the sun and raucous clubbing at night. Santa Cruz,
its capital city, boasts a beautiful port and is home to tax
free shopping, one of Spain’s most renowned carnivals
and Teide National Park. As far as beaches go, some of the
most notable shores include Las Teresitas, Playa de las Americas
and Los Cristianos.
|
Amsterdam...
Last
stop Amsterdam, the city that is most highly frequented by
those who wish to partake in its rather liberal lifestyle.
But travellers disembarking flights
to Amsterdam can look forward to much more than the red
light district. The list of tourist attractions held by this
architectural gem goes on for miles. Not only does it offer
stunning views with its famed waterways and canal houses,
it also houses exceptional museums like the Van Gogh Museum
and Rembrandt House. Moreover, most of its cultural events
are scheduled from September through June, which also happens
to be it's off peak season where you'll have access to plenty
of cheap flights.
That concludes
our round the world diary for now ladies. Hope you’ve
enjoyed the ride and if you do head over to any (or all) of
these locales, then I wish you happy trails. |
