Early Bird Easter Europe Flights Sale

Damn that early bird. She is always catching the worm while the rest of us slackers are in bed hitting the snooze button every ten minutes. Why isn’t there ever a reward for the late bird?

The early bird does, indeed, also have most of the fun when it comes to travel deals. Those people who have their act together well in advance are usually the ones that end up getting the best deals. If your nest is a mess and your mind a cluttered coockoo, you end up getting …

Rocky Mountains Skiing

The Rocky Mountains are just that: rocky. They are also treey, largey and pretty The fortunate thing for skiers is that large portions of the North American mountain chain receive a hearty amount of snow each winter. The dry champagne powder will make you forget that you are skiing on a pile of rocks and make you forget about skiing anywhere else in the world. The snow is that tasty.

Skiing in the Rockies is an experience unto itself. There are still small ski towns that hardly cost anything …

Besides its convenience and besides the cost, there has to be a reason why so many people flock there each year, right?

Right, indeed. In addition to its mild climate, Malaga is nearly perfectly located …

Ryanair Offers Free Flights from London

The clever folks at Ryanair are back at it again, this time offering up to 3 million seats for free on flights from London. Like any offer that sounds too good to be true, this one comes with a few conditions. For one thing, the flights aren’t exactly free. You still have to pay taxes and fees that do not exceed £23.50. That isn’t too bad. Of course, you can’t fly during holidays, school breaks and major sporting events. I’m not too sure how they …

You’ll be one of many when you travel to Mumbai

Mumbai is the most populous city in India. In a country that is home to more than one billion people, that is saying something. In fact, by some measures Mumbai is the most populous city in the world with an estimated population of 13 million as of 2006. That is a whole lot of people living in a not so large area. Throw in the extra 12 million who live in the Mumbai metropolitan area and you can be well assured that you will have plenty of opportunity to …

Don’t get Burned, Head to Berne for some Fantastic Skiing

Often overshadowed by Switzerland’s other cities Berne is an underrated city that is great for a city break or a ski holiday. The Swiss capital is ideally situated about an hour away from some of the finest mountains and skiing on this planet. It is indeed the ideal gateway to the Alps but it is also a city that warrants some exploration of its own.

Berne is the fourth most populated city in Switzerland and it has a distinctly German feel to it. The city was originally built on a peninsula …

Bucharest is the Paris of the East. Well, kind of

Having spent a fair amount of time in Bucharest, Romania, I have read and heard it described as the Paris of the East somewhere in the neighborhood of six thousand times. This expression is a popular one for tourist bureaus and travel writers to use since someone coined it many, many years ago. If only that person would get a pound for every time it is used. They’d be able to buy up both Bucharest and Paris!

The fact of the matter is that if you go to Bucharest expecting to …

Experience the Bali Way of Life

Bali is more than just a popular tourist destination. It is a way of life.

Life on the Indonesian island moves at its own pace and offers up a distinct charm that cannot be found anywhere else on this planet. Bali’s history dates back to around 3,000 BC. Since its first inhabitants, people from all over the world have passed through, often leaving a part of their culture behind. The result is a Balinese culture that is unlike any other.

Bali’s landscape – mountains, forests, and beaches – makes it an …

Fuerteventura Holidays are Hot, Hot, Hot

The Canary Islands island of Fuerteventura is one great adventure if you are to simply go by its name. The name of the island is believed to have come from the French explorer Jean de Bethencourt’s exclamation: “Que forte adventure!” (”What a grand adventure”). A less romantic explanation is that the name simply means “strong wind”.

I prefer the romantic explanation because a holiday in Fuerteventura can, indeed, be a grand adventure. Visitors flock to the island because of the renowned beauty of its beaches and its near perfect climate. …
