Interesting travel ideas
Susan ferrell, a travel agent in North Carolina had a few interesting ideas about "experiential travel." Clients are seeking adventures that none of their friends can say been there, done that about, such as hot air ballooning over the Mareeba Valley in Australia to spot a "mob" of Kangaroos.
She also mentions multi-generational trips - take the grandkids on a safari and spend the last day with children at an orphanage in Kenya. Another cool one is floating down the Yangtze River in China to see small villages for the last time. They are soon to be under water when a dam is complete.
These are also reasons to consider a travel agent instead of a site like expedia. A good travel agent is supposed to find the best value rather than the cheapest price.

Hi,
My employer is good enough to give me a month for vacation. I usually take $1500 to $2000 and go somewhere.
My last trip was wandering about Thailand.
I am looking for something different, like kenya, NZ or Aust. I love outdoor activities.
What can you suggest for a great adventure on $2000?
