Charles Darwin Invented the Galapagos Islands Just for You

That Chuck Darwin was one smart cat. Figuring out that human beings originated as monkey feces took a lot of brainpower and if it weren’t for his trip to the Galapagos Islands, Darwin would never have pissed off the fundamentalist-types a century later. If you are a dreamer or in need of a good theory to piss off your more conservative friends, the Galapagos Islands might be a destination worth checking out. There is a lot of funky wildlife there and plenty to see and do if you decide …

Drink a Mai Thai in Thailand

Go someplace you never even knew existed

When I was a young lad growing up in the rough and tumble world of suburbia, I used to have a globe. It was my best friend. Some days I would spin the globe and stop it with a finger. Wherever my finger landed was where I would pretend to be that day. Yeah, I was a messed up little kid, but I also ended up learning a bit about obscure places in the world.

As an adult, I still sometimes play this game. Instead of a globe, I …

Too good to be True Deals to Ireland

Call me a skeptic, but how can you possible fly from London to Dublin for £1? Sure there are taxes and other charges, but still, this is simply too good of a deal to believe. Maybe Arelingus requires that you flap your wings and fly the plane yourself or maybe it is just one hell of a deal. In any case, it is worth checking out because Ireland is a killer country and for the cost of a pint of beer it sure would be cool to go there. …

All the Cool Kids are going to Dubai

Dubai is hot these days and we’re not talking about the weather. The city is expanding faster than your waistline after a big meal. Tons of money is being spent on crazy luxury hotels and amusement activities like the world’s largest aquarium. There is even a place where you can go snow skiing inside of a mall, in the desert.

If you are into the absurd or just want to check out why Dubai is so gosh darned popular, now is the time to make the pilgrimage. Virgin …

Let’s Talk Turkey

Turkey gets a bit of a bad rap. Just because it is named after a bird doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go there. In fact, there are very few turkeys in Turkey so if you are a turkeyphobe you shouldn’t be afraid of traveling there.

What Turkey does have is lots and lots of beautiful beaches, some history that will blow your mind away and some of the tastiest food around. Last Minute Deals has a terrific deal for you to fly from London to Turkey where you can stay at …
