Travel To Alaska

When I go on holiday there are two things I am after. The first is some real excitement, like bungee jumping into a ravine, or white water rafting, and the second thing I look for is some real culture or history. I always bear these desires in mind when it comes to choosing a holiday destination, and this year after much searching I have decided upon Moscow. It seems that it has pretty much everything that I am looking for. The history of the place is immense. More has gone on in that city than most places in the world, and a trip to the Kremlin is a must do for any serious visitor. Not only that, but there is a fabulous array of places to visit to stimulate your cultural wishes. I found a great looking place online called the Moscow art theatre which looks just incredible. I think this will probably be one of the first places that I visit when I arrive in Moscow.

Beyond the stimulation of such cultural gems, I really need a bit of excitement when it comes to holidays. Gone are the days when my idea of fun was ten pints in the nearest pub followed by a day hungover on the beach! These days I would rather raise my spirits with action sports and things of a similar nature, and it turns out the Moscow really is a great location for anyone who is not faint hearted! I have discovered that you can actually travel to the Border of Space from by flying in a MIG-21 if you can believe it! That is 18 kilometres in an upwards direction! From here I will be able to see where the sky turns from blue to black, as our atmosphere meets space. Nothing could be more thrilling and this surely will be an experience of a lifetime.

I had been searching for somewhere cheap to take my family on holiday for weeks online, without coming up with anything that gave me the wow factor. I was unfortunately governed heavily by price, so the choice seemed to be a bit thin. Despite enjoying them in the past, I just didn’t want to spend a week in a tent in the north of France freezing cold in the communal showers! I didn’t need luxury, just a nice apartment with air conditioning and a bit of heat from the Mediterranean sun.

Luckily for me a friend called round that had recently been to Cyprus. I had never been to that part of the world but she told me that it had been the nicest place that they had been to for years! And I knew that they had all over Europe on holiday in recent years.

This convinced me to go online that very day and see if I could find us all a nice and affordable Cyprus Holiday. As soon as I started to hunt around I came across quite a few offers. All of the accommodation looked very nice and I was pleased to see some beautiful photo’s of what can only be described as heavenly beaches. I booked our holiday then and there, knowing that this was definitely the best we could do at this very affordable price.

Our holiday in Cyprus is one that I will never forget. Beautiful beaches, a bit of history, great food and some wonderful memories. I am always wary of the standard of accommodation when I go to Europe but I can honestly say that we had everything we needed and the apartment was clean and cool, and they had air conditioning! It was a wonderful holiday and I can’t wait to get back there next year!

If you want a cool conference, you need a cool venue. Somewhere different. Somewhere unique. Somewhere with the ‘Wow’ factor. Find a location with all these elements and you’re well on the way to organising an event that is remembered and talked about for all the right reasons.

One such place is Alton Towers Resort in the heart of the Midlands. Recent winner of a ‘Coolest Venue for Corporate Fun 2010’ award by Prestige Events Magazine, this leading Midlands conference centre caters for events ranging in size from 16 delegates up to a staggering 15,000+ where guests have full use of the rides and attractions! With a truly flexible approach to tailoring your event to your needs, you can do everything from having a scream of a time with an exclusive use of a ride, to enjoying a splashing exotic beach party in the Water Park. There are of course, a full range of corporate packages to make sure you find just what you’re looking for. Whichever you choose, you’re assured an event which is a thrill-packed experience.

For a more laid-back venue, there is The Mermaid conference and events centre set on the North Bank of the Thames. With spectacular views towards the Tate Modern, Globe Theatre and the Millennium Bridge, this is one venue which leaves a lasting impression. A striking setting, the Mermaid can cater for up to 600 delegates thanks to its impressive Auditorium.

For an event that goes where no event has ever gone before, blast off to the National Space Centre. Here your delegates can watch a show in one of the UK’s largest planetariums with seating for 160 people, dine under giant rockets and even try their hand at a simulated space mission as they run mission control. With a range of rooms and theatres also available to hire, it’s safe to say that an event at the National Space Centre is will be out of this world.

If you’d rather step back in time, than head into the future, try the Great North Museum:Hancock in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Catering for events ranging in size from 12 to 500 people, you can provide an unforgettable experience which includes a life-size T-Rex dinosaur skeleton, spectacular objects from Ancient Greece and mummies from Ancient Egypt.
