When I’m at cocktail parties people often ask me about trip recommendations and usually I launch into a whole thing about Peltours. Older readers of this column know it already, but this company does an excellent job of combining affordable travel methods with fun things to do once you get there: [1] Neilson Active Holidays

Some people start their trip by just looking for [2] cheap airfare and then wing it once they get to the destination, but it’s easy to just get complacent once you are there and see museums during the day and drink all night. These active holidays will prevent you from going down that dangerous road.

Did you know National Windsurfing Week is coming up? You would if you followed the blog on Neilson’s site. They have beach holidays and yachting holidays and many other things along those lines. The beach holidays are located in Greece, Egypt, and Turkey, and from there you pick a resort. There’s only one each in Egypt or Turkey, but I think I’d lean toward one of those because I’ll bet they are both cheaper than the Greece ones.

Ooh, they have singles trips for adults! Just click on the Solo button in the right column and you’ll find all the information meant for those of us without many friends. I’ll meet a few of you in Ortakent, wherever that is.
