My South American Adventure 11th October 2011 - British Airways in World Traveller Plus to Buenos Aires - longest flight that BA fly!  13 hours and it seemed to last forever.  We had 65 minutes to transfer to our flight to Lima and onwards to Quito with LAN - we were met at the gangway by a LAN representative to say that our flight was either cancelled or very delayed to Lima so they were putting us on a direct flight to Quito as that was also delayed by one hour.  Only...

The Canadian Rockies, I read, form part of the Canadian Cordillera, extending from the plains of Alberta in the east to the trench of British Columbia in the west, and comprise the most northerly section of a sublime mountain range the runs as far south as the border regions of Idaho and Montana in the United States. But don’t mistake the Canadian Rockies for the American Rockies: whereas the southern range is all stubborn gneiss and granite, the northern segments are suppl...

Michelle Forsyth enjoys a spectacular visit to the America of canyons, cacti and cowboys. Eternal landscapes, infinite skies. That’s what you need for a backdrop, as those makers of classic Hollywood westerns understood, if you are to create myths on a scale that both magnifies and dwarfs us. The myths of humankind’s struggle with nature, of the elemental battle between the good and the bad, of the lone, pale horse rider and the pioneer settlement perched on the edge o...

Cannot believe this is now nearly 5 years ago....we had a great evening on a Thames river boat. Here's an extract from Magazine Thame Out. The travel company that is still thriving When Bryony Hordern set up Tickets Anywhere, some 25 years ago, it was in a small, rented office next to a Hertfordshire pub. “I had a desk and a phone,” Bryony recalls, “and that was about it.” Tickets Anywhere have come a long way since then. Today, Bryony’s travel company has jus...

We had an lovely trip by coach from Bangkok to Chaing Rai seeing wonderful sites and tasty yummy local food. There is a lustrous quality to Thailand, one that gleams in both the eye and in the mind’s eye. A faintly golden hue seems to shine from the landscapes, whether the central plains, the bronzed beaches of the coast, the slow, sliding rivers or the morning and evening skies. There is, too, an inner sense of light, a tranquillity of spirit, the reflective glow of the...

Syria - a country that should definitely be on your list of places to visit...not now but certainly in the future. On being offered the chance to visit Syria – a group of other agents and I were the guests of travel firm, Cox and Kings – I must confess to some initial misgivings. The standard of the accommodation was one; our safety and security another. Those misgivings were to last no longer than the moment our plane set down at Damascus airport. What followed was bo...

With many European holiday destinations now part of the eurozone, even such traditionally inexpensive places as Portugal are experiencing steadily rising costs we take a look at the attractions of three countries where it is still possible to enjoy an exotic break without the extra baggage of a hefty price tag. Morocco Morocco is barely a four-hour flight from the UK but remains a world away. Barricaded by the towering Rif and Atlas mountain ranges, the country has held str...

The phrase ‘lost city’ has an enthralling resonance about it. The mystery of abandonment and the thrill of rediscovery. Perhaps no city has been more lost or more wonderfully rediscovered than Machu Picchu, its stone terraces hovering, silent and untrodden for centuries amidst the Andean clouds, high above Peru’s Urabamba Valley, breathtaking in its solitary magnificence and breathtaking, literally too, in its oxygen depleted air. Machu Picchu was not our sole destinati...
