The Caribbean Islands have long been known for their gorgeous white sand beaches, turquoise waters and laid back atmospheres. The snokeling and scuba diving are great anywhere, but not-to-be-missed in Barbados, St. Lucia and Belize. The historic plantation inns on St. Kitts and Nevis provide good insight into Colonial life and Jamaica is famous for its reggae and relaxed atmosphere. Puerto Rico offers excellent historical sites, jungle treks, scuba diving and an expansive cave system at Rio Camuy.

Europe offers an incredible array of famous attractions including Stonehenge in England, the Eiffel Tower in France, the Coliseum in Italy and Al Hambra in Spain. Other highlights include: the rolling green hills, stunning Atlanitc scenery and ancient castles of Ireland, the wine country and exquisite beaches on the French Riviera in France, quaint, romantic cities exuding historic charm like Seville in Spain and Venice in Italy and the stunning beauty of the Mediterrean especially from the Greek Islands of Santorini and Corfu and Spain's Mallorca.

Asia has long been known for its exotic cultures, friendly people and sacred sites. Amongst the more well known highlights are the Great Wall of China, the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, the beaches of Bali in Indonesia, the Taj Majal in India and Mt. Everest in Nepal. For some good off-the-beaten-path options try visiting the orangutan preserves in Indonesia, the remote beaches and scuba diving in Thailand and the Philippines, the Tibetan refugee camps, home of the Dalai Lama, in Northern India or a camel trek in Rhajastan.

Africa is a land of extremes: The arid Sahara Desert covers most of the northern continent and remote, lush rainforests drape across the center. Most people journey to Africa to visit the Great Pyramids of Egypt or go on safari in one of the famous game parks such as Masai Mara in Kenya and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Other highlights include the interesting blend of Moorish and Spanish influences in Morocco, the wineries and penguin colonies near Cape Town, and the remote shores of Lake Malawi.

Travelers have long written of the incredible warmth and hospitality of the Arab culture and it is still present today. The area's historical importance is reflected in its ancient ruins including the underground cities of Turkey, Palmyra in Syria, Petra in Jordan, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall in Israel, and, of course, the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The area also has a vast natural beauty reflected in such unique phenomenon as the Dead Sea, the sand dunes and oasis towns of the Sahara Desert and the rock spires of Cappadocia in Turkey.

Central and South America hold key travel final frontiers in its exotic treks to lost cities like Machu Picchu and Tikal and tours of the unique jungle habitat of the Amazon River. The crumbling Colonial buildings provide contrasted backdrops to the vibrant Indian markets in places such as Cuzco, Peru and Antigua and Chichicastenango, Guatemala. The cayes off the coast of Belize offer remote white sand beaches with some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world, including the Blue Hole.
