As soon as I tell anyone that I work for iExplore--the first question they ask is----what iExplore trip are you going to take next? This is such a hard question to answer because we have so many fabulous trips! So, I have finally narrowed it down to my top three: Egypt, Chile and Africa.
Here's why:
Egypt: I have always been fascinated by the pyramids and the Temple of Sphinx and would love to see them first hand. I am not a big fan of cruises, but I think that spending a couple of days floating down the Nile on a small ship sounds incredible. I would also love to poke around the markets in Cairo and haggle with the merchants!
Chile: The "land of fire and ice" really does offer it all! The Atacama desert in the North is the driest in the world--they haven't had rain in 400 years!The Central Valley is one of the biggest producers of wine in the world---and I would love to tour a vineyard and spend an a couple days wine tasting! The Lakes district offers hiking, kayaking and amazing views of volcanoes. Finally, I would love go down to the far south and see the glaciers!
Africa: An African safari has been "on my list" for the past couple of years. To me, this is the ultimate travel experience.However, while my vision of a safari includes seeing the big five on lots of game drives, it also includes amazing food and luxury lodges--and sundowner cocktails!
Now, if only I can find the time to get away from work to take one of these incredible trips!

The US is also a great place. Stay at The Signature at the MGM to really experience the luxurious lifestyle of Americans. Book through www.luxurysuitesintl.com and get some great discounts and offers, the best way to beat the recession.
I envy you the choice of adventures. Thanks for all the great information. I have traveled to Africa and it was amazing. Wishing you a wonderful journey.
Hi Amanda,
Those are great choices! I'd have to go with a safari to Africa - its been on the top of my list since I was a child.
I just think it would be a life changing experience to see all that wildlife in one place.
Let us all know which trip you decide to go on!

just sat at my desk, finished my first coffee of the day and read details on the Chile trip...
i wish i had just had my first coffee of the day whilst on the Chile trip!
WOW! This is such a great site to just get basic information of where to go, what to see and what activities to do!!! I think I'll visit this site often.. maybe even share a little bit of my travels myself.
Like you I had Africa on my list for years and when I finally got there believe me it was worth the wait. If your looking for luxury as well as the wildlife then check out these guys
Hi!
If you’re really adventurous in body and spirit, then go to the Crimea – a unique realm that few Westerners have ever traveled in!
You don't have to look too far if you want to see amazing scenery. I just took a road trip of the south west, from Albuquerque to Oaxaca, Mexico. You have to remember people from all over the world come to see our back yard, I had a life changing trip just a few hundred miles from home.
Traveling can be a worthwhile experience. As we all know, we can discover places and tourist spots that have captivating scenery. Others can be a great venue for shopping.
I agree adventure travels are life changing. the question about where to go next? - I would think Africa would be the most extreme from that list. I would love to journey upon an adventure over luxury. A travel blog is a good idea it gives me ideas and inspiration for new places to travel.
