Top 10 Travel Destinations for 2008 – Part 2

Hope you enjoyed my first five picks.  Here – again in no particular order are the next five!

  1. Laos – If you’ve been to Laos, then you know it has some of the best sightseeing around.  You can visit Southeast Asia’s largest waterfall and spend your time meandering around some the best preserved temples and monuments – anywhere.  If you can, try to visit La Residence Phou Vao (an Orient Express resort) where you can enjoy the breathtaking vistas of the surrounding rivers and mountains as well as take pleasure in the lush gardens and infinity pool right on the resort site.

  2. Antigua, Guatemala – This former capital had been the economical and political center of Guatemala for over 200 years before an earthquake decimated it in 1773.  Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring quaint cobblestone streets and active volcanoes.  Put it on your must see vacation destination list!

  3. Cairo, Egypt – Everyone needs to behold the legacy of the Ancient Egyptians at least once in their lifetime.  If you visit, be sure to see Great Pyramids as well as shop the Khan El-Khalili bazaar.  Cairo is a rich and interesting city offering attractions that explore Islam, Christianity and Judaism.

  4. Serengeti Plain, Tanzania – Viewing the Serengeti plains is like nothing else on earth.  Enjoy spectacular views of lions, elephants and giraffes.  You know you’ve always wanted to go on Safari, so dig out those binoculars and plan a trip to Tanzania!

  5. Fiji’s Yasawa Islands – If you’ve seen the movie Castaway, then you already have a good idea of how the Yasawa Islands look.  Expect to see rugged peaks, emerald lagoons and lush vegetation – a true island paradise.  Since 2000, dozens of village owned resorts have sprung up on some of the islands.  These islands are the perfect place to experience amazing beaches, superb diving and snorkeling and the fabulous culture of the locals.

I hope that you can make it to at least one of these destinations during 2008.  Life is all about new experiences and travel is one of the best ways to do just that!  Bon Voyage!
