Europe’s draw is irresistible, for every village, every country boldly
stands out with a prominent air of significance – both historic and
cultural – unmatched anywhere else in the world. Travel agents enjoy
showing their clients a new side of Europe, suggesting wondrous alternatives
away from the usual tourist destinations.
Like visiting Andalusia, the
southern part of Spain that simmers with history and warm ocean currents.
Or taking a culinary tour of
Italy, for it is undeniable that few countries celebrate their food-and
celebrate with food-as Italy. Cruising
the Baltic Sea allows you to taste the many flavors this unique region
of the world has to offer. Or maybe you prefer storming castles
in Scotland, where the grand structures dot the countryside like no
other place on Earth.
Planning Tip: Tell
'Em Where You're Going
Thousands of foreign tourists were missing and unaccounted for in the
immediate aftermath of the Asian tsunami last December, worrying family
members back home because they didn't know exactly where they were of
if they had been in the path of the waves. If you are planning to travel
overseas, be sure to leave a detailed itinerary with your family or friends.
Also consider registering your trip with the U.S. State Department, making
it easier for American embassies and consulates to assist you in the event
of an emergency. Click here for tips
