These&nbsp; options include:<br /> <i><br /> Coach Tours</i><br /> <br /> The impressions that many still have of coach touring ("if it's Tuesday, this must be Rome!") no long hold true. Yes, multi city, multi country tours still exist, but now you can chose regional discovery tours, where you visit one country in depth, train tours and special interest tours.<br /> <br /> <i>River Cruising</i><br /> <br /> Cruise along the great rivers of Europe in luxury! The ships dock in the heart of the city, cutting down your travel time to the sites. These cruises even include city tours.&nbsp; <br /> <i><br /> Large Ship Cruising</i><br /> <br /> I only call this large ship cruising to differentiate it from river cruising. These are ships that sail on the major bodies of water, the most famous is the Mediterranean. The Baltics have gained enormous popularity. The ships vary in size, style, amenities and most importantly, itinerary, to ensure your needs are met.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> <i>Independent Travel</i><br /> <br /> Many travellers believe they can "do it cheaper" themselves. Did you know that independent packages exist? For example, two city packages that include your flight, transfer to your hotel, accommodations, travel between two cities, and often a one day city tour give you structure and the flexibility to tour on your own. You won't be traveling with a group. <br /> <br /> Fly and drive packages offer you a car rental, maps (or GPS) and pre-booked accommodations. Your only job is to get yourself to the next hotel and visit wherever you like en route.<br /> <br /> The above are only some samples of what is available in Europe. Not to mention you can always mix and match styles. One this is for sure - Europe is incredible no matter how you see it.Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15130409058355859312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974427510165598518.post-91519310787969054282009-08-13T18:37:00.000-04:002009-08-13T18:37:32.047-04:00<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Early Booking Bonus!</b></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: small;">Receive a <b>$400</b> WestJet flight credit* when you booking a 7 night WestJet Vacation package for travel between November 1, 2009, and May 15,2010.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: small;">Booking must by made by September 30, 2009.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-size: small;">One credit per room booked - that's $200 for each adult booked in the room.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: small;">This offer is in <b>addition </b>to Early Booking Bonuses on select hotels.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: x-small;">* $400 credit is based on one $200 credit per adult (+18) per room to a maximum of two credits per room.</span>Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15130409058355859312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974427510165598518.post-79145269592448137252009-08-05T10:57:00.000-04:002009-08-05T10:57:50.641-04:00&nbsp;Travel Song of the Day&nbsp; - Lights by&nbsp; Journey<br /> <br /> <a href="http://draft.blogger.com/%20%20http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4QkTvK2OEw%20"> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4QkTvK2OEw </a><br /> <br /> This one is for the Saraga boys.<br /> <br /> www.meredithburbidge.comMeredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15130409058355859312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974427510165598518.post-57657569267065523742009-07-28T08:04:00.000-04:002009-07-28T08:04:42.791-04:00The Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt, constructed around 2500 B.C. was the tallest building in the world until the Eiffel Tower was erected in 1889.Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15130409058355859312noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974427510165598518.post-5527439923255800342009-07-25T15:48:00.000-04:002009-07-25T15:48:42.508-04:00Want to see where the sun is actually shining this summer?<br /> <ul><li>Florence 31 degrees and sunny</li> <li>Monte Carlo 30 degrees and sunny</li> <li>Barcelona 25 degrees and sunny</li> <li>Bali 28 degrees and sunny</li> <li>Montego Bay 25 degrees and sunny</li> </ul>Visit <a href="http://meredithtravel.ca/">MeredithTravel.ca</a> and get out of the rain and into some sunshine!Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15130409058355859312noreply@blogger.com0
