The most amazing sights

Would you say that you love to discover the strangest places on Earth and get the surprise that there are some unbelivable sights that you never imagined that could ever be real? If that's the case, then you definitely need to read the msnbc.com article just below and discover how incredible life can be:

From a helicopter window, Antarctica appears colorless: pure white in every direction, a glaze covering the planet.

Swoop into the McMurdo Dry Valleys and the bare, naked ground comes into focus, as does a most bizarre sight: a rust-red waterfall oozing down the face of a mammoth glacier. Welcome to Blood Falls—one of the world’s strangest places.

In an increasingly familiar world—where guidebooks and Google Earth would seem to have exposed every last nook and cranny—it’s refreshing to discover places that still surprise. Sure, they may not be as easy to access as, say, the Rockies (which are divine, if not revelatory), but it’s precisely this isolation that has allowed them to evolve their odd characteristics. Venturing into unknown lands may be surreal, but it’s also impressive—and rewarding.

Blood Falls is just one example of how Antarctica “will change the way you think about life,” says David Dallmeyer, professor of geology at the University of Georgia and guide for Abercrombie & Kent.

“I’ve seen azure blues you can’t imagine. I’ve seen three-mile-wide icebergs break in half and roll inwards.” With 50 years’ worth of excursions under his belt, Dallmeyer is not easily surprised, but, he admits, “In Antarctica, there is nothing else like the Dry Valleys. They’re an enigma.”

But Mother Nature isn’t the sole creator of these oddities. In Turkey, the fairy-tale-invoking Göreme National Park results from both natural and man-made handiwork. Its giant sandstone spires, known as hoodoos—which erosion first sculpted into arresting mushroom shapes—were later carved into houses, churches, and underground communities by Christians fleeing Roman persecution in the first millennium A.D.

The resultant bustling canyon-land gives the impression of being a human-populated coral reef (a perfect location for "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope", which was filmed there).

The kitchen of your dreams

Even considering the fact that I currently am a successful businesswoman, the truth is that I still live on my own and I am a single woman. As a matter of fact, being single and living on our own isn’t particularly difficult and we end up having some advantages.

Still, when it comes to the furniture and equipment that we have at home, the fact is that we probably won’t need as much as if we were living with a large family. Keeping this in mind, if you have always wanted to find the perfect store where you could buy kitchen furniture (“muebles de cocina” in the Spanish language) directed at the costumers who live on their own. Moreover, if you take some time to visit the website to which I have linked just above, you will come across a very user-friendly website where you will find an amazing range of products that will surely fit your needs as a single. Furthermore, there are many products which come from luxurious and exclusive ranges, meaning that you will be getting only the highest quality furniture that will surely correspond to what you have always desired for your kitchen.

So, what are you waiting for? Just take some time to visit the website above and I am sure that you will operate a revolution at your house in a matter of days.

My nearly 3-year-old son Matt was methodically smashing coconuts on the stone terrace next to the pool of our rented villa in St. Martin early in the morning just under the window where my sister and brother-in-law — still kid-less — were trying to sleep. We thought it was hilarious; they weren't amused. My parents just wanted to enjoy the sunshine and the grandkids — Matt and his baby sister, Reggie.

That was the first of our many multigenerational vacations, all the more poignant because my dad died a few months later. Maybe that's why we still talk so much about that trip — the seafood feasts our housekeeper whipped up, seemingly effortlessly for us, the hours my dad, already ill, spent playing in the pool with the kids, the stellar snorkeling and gambling expeditions led my dad to a nearby casino, the bug bites that covered my 8-month-old daughter, and, of course, the Morning of the Coconuts.

At the time, it all seemed pretty exotic for our family. My mom had plucked a tiny ad from the New York Times and, sight unseen, (no Internet virtual tour in those days, no TripAdvisor reviews), had rented the place overlooking the ocean for two weeks. It wasn't quite what we expected, but that's another story.

What the gathering provided was unfettered time together to laugh and play and eat — time we didn't usually have because we lived thousands of miles apart. Today, more than 20 years later, grandparents and tour operators tell me, that's still what's driving other families like ours to corral their families on multigenerational trips.

What's changed is the kind of trips available. As baby boomers become grandparents and seniors become more active, families are opting for more far-flung and active adventures — fishing in Alaska, horseback riding at dude ranches, snorkeling off the coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, setting up camp — literally — at tree houses in the U.S. Virgin Island (www.maho.org) — some returning with grandkids to where they honeymooned, or sailing charters in the Caribbean (www.moorings.com), rafting and hiking in Colorado (www.epicsummer.com) touring Israel and Africa with a gaggle of grandkids, even shopping New York City's vintage stores.

"We had so much fun ... and spotted my oldest daughter's senior prom gown!" said Anna Mae Kremps, who lives near Pittsburgh. Thanks to the transportation arranged by www.shop-nyctours.com), Kremps said, "This 70-something grandma was able to keep up."

The Alaska fishing trip (http://www.bobscabin.com/) that included 78-year-old Pauline Hill and her 16-year-old grandson was such a hit that the family is returning this year and bringing along friends, reports Hill's daughter-in-law Pam from her home in Colorado.

Do that bucket trip now
These grandparents "are generally a fitter and more experiential-oriented travel crowd than their parents. So they are happy to take their grandchildren on 'adventures,' especially when they might have the opportunity to get a massage or go to yoga at the end of the day," observes Paul Lehman of Austin-Lehman Adventures (www.austinlehman.com). His company is booking more of these trips, including an Adventure Bar Mitzvah to Israel. Often, the grandparents pick up the tab, too.

And this may be the time to do it, says Gabe Saglie, senior editor of TravelZoo.com. "In terms of that bucket trip, do it now. We have not seen prices like this in a long time, if ever," he says, adding that you can negotiate even better deals when you've got a group.

The best part is you might be able to arrange a specific itinerary geared just for your family, as the Crews did when they took their family — 14 of them — to Tanzania with Wildland Adventures (www.wildland.com) to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

The Crews, incidentally, who live near Tampa, are a well-traveled couple, but said Jeri Crews, this trip with the nine grandkids was the most rewarding they've ever had.

"It was a real adventure," she explained. "Each member of the family got something out of it, and it was so thrilling to see the children discover things they hadn't ever thought of, or knew existed." One grandson, in fact, won a speech contest for recounting his visit to a village school.

Cruises remain popular
Of course, there are plenty of less exotic offerings, including YMCA camps like the YMCA of the Rockies (www.ymcarockies.org) with plenty of organized activities.

And families are still cruising — so much so that they represent one of the fastest growing segments of the cruise industry and cruise lines, like Norwegian (www.ncl.com), court them with everything from connecting rooms and suites (see the amazing options on Norwegian's new EPIC coming this summer) to family reunion packages aboard Holland America (www.HollandAmerica.com) and family memories deals on Crystal Cruises (www.crystalcruises.com). The more rooms you book, the more perks you receive.

Keeping this in mind, read the msnbc.com article just below and discover what luxury is all about:

Step into your own half of a train car and soak it in: rich carvings and lush tapestries line the walls, blending with the flat-screen TV, stereo system, and fully stocked pantry.

And why settle for one bathroom when you can have two? Step outside and music from a nearby baby grand fills the hallway, down which you’ll find the spa offering ayurvedic massage. Welcome to your sleeper car aboard India’s Deccan Odyssey train. Price tag: $3,000 per night.

If you’ve boarded an Amtrak train recently, rolling palaces with doting cabin stewards, king-size beds, and marble and gold interiors may seem like a fairy tale from a bygone era.

But though the current economic doldrums have put a dent in the industry, luxury trains have found a place in the 21st century and are still plying major routes on the world’s most developed rail systems. And this over-the-top luxury is seen most clearly in sleeper cars.

“The standards and expectations of rail passengers just keep going up,” says Eleanor Flagler Hardy, president of the Society of International Railway Travelers travel agency. Intense competition for a small pool of affluent travelers has led to better and more sophisticated food and service in recent years, making for what she calls an “addictive experience.”

Luxury train travel expanded rapidly in Europe and beyond in the 1980s when private companies began to buy up and restore antique rail cars.

Beyond the “standard” features such as individual climate controls, a stocked refrigerator bar, and a safe for your bling, the most luxurious sleeper compartments are set apart by their generous size (the Deccan Odyssey’s Presidential Suites are nearly 200 square feet), commodious beds (king size on the Pride of Africa), rich furnishings (antique brass radiators and Turkish drapes on the Royal Canadian Pacific), and attendants who provide wake-up calls, deliver breakfast, tidy your room, and remember your drink preference.

For now, anyway, this is a strictly overseas experience (though you can charter a private rail car in the United States).

It’s not that American companies haven’t tried to create a luxury line: the most recent such venture—a partnership between Amtrak and GrandLuxe Rail Journeys that traveled between Washington and Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago, and Chicago and San Francisco—launched in 2007 but stopped running after less than a year.

So, until some brave company resurrects luxury train travel in the States, you’ll have to go abroad for your fix.
