Travel Adventures
In today’s world, it is not uncommon for the average Joe to put in over 60 hours in a week at work. I feel at times I am constantly on the run, without time to even sit and think for one minute. It is sort of sad that we are focused on our jobs that tie us down and keeps us from things we really enjoy doing. But at some point you have to say, “enough is enough. I NEED a break!” That is so true for many of us. We NEED A VACATION!

We focus on a different subject within the travel industry and will try to focus on it for about a week if not more.

Believe it or not, you can find deals that can cut your cost in half. I am dedicated to help you find those deals.
Sedona, Arizona – A Travel Adventure in Red Rock Format
USA WEEKEND’s Annual Travel Report for 2003 heralds Sedona, Arizona, as one of the USA’s ten most beautiful places. It is a four-season adventure in beauty.
The community boasts a list of 102 things to do while in Sedona, and the list is not exaggerated. Some are free, some are pricey, but all are viable possibilities, accentuating this beautiful land.
You will meet lots of people in Sedona, from everywhere in the world, but it’s not the shoving, hurry-hurry crowd (with the possible exception of the early morning or late evening commute of the friendly service population). More often it’s rubbing shoulders with others who hike and stroll and caravan endeavoring to capture their share of the beauty and peace surrounding the valley.

Alexander the Great’s Travel Adventures – A Guide to Travelling in Alexander the Great’s Footsteps
For more than 2,000 years Alexander the Great has excited the imagination of people around the globe. Barely out of his teens he invaded Asia with some 45,000 men to conquer the vast and rich Persian empire. He didn’t stop there, but continued on an epic 22,000 mile journey, Troy to Alexandria, Samarkand to Babylon. By the time he died, aged just 32, he had gone beyond the limits of the known world, carving out an empire stretching from Greece to Afghanistan, Israel to India.
Today you can find his legacy still resonating across three continents – Europe, Asia, and Africa. Head to Egypt, venture out into the desert to the oasis of Siwah, a great circle of vivid green in a sea of parched yellow, and you’ll find a crumbling temple where the oracle declared Alexander the son of Zeus. Trek into southern Iran, and you will discover Persepolis, the ruined ceremonial capital of the Persian kings, burnt to the ground by Alexander.
The ultimate travel destination for those enthralled by Alexander must be Turkey. Following in his footsteps from Troy to the battlefield of Issues, you’ll savour a magical combination of landscapes, food, and ancient wonders. Archaeological adventures await at every turn.
