What Type of
Vacation Right is
One of my favorite travel photos is... A. A close up of a wild animal in nature B. My true love emerging from the surf... C. A 1,000-year-old ruin on a misty morning D. The sunset sizzling on a curved horizon
for Me?
My favorite travel food experience is... A. Something mysterious, spicy, and exotic B. Oysters, champagne, and moonlight C. A traditional recipe I learned to prepare myself D. Whatever they’re serving at the Captain’s table
My ideal travel shoes are... A. Water-resistant hiking boots B. Bare feet, with a light dusting of sand C. Soft leather walking shoes D. Boat shoes, of course!
If you got mostly A’s, you’re a Natural Wanderer ... Animal encounters, natural wonders and jawdropping destinations take your breath away. Pack your camera and cash in your vacation days on an 8-day Treasures of Nature tour in Costa Rica (page 28) or the 12-day South Africa & Botswana Explorer (page 31) with game drives galore.
Culture Connoisseur
My favorite vacation activities... A. Finding local hideaways off the tourist grid B. Sleeping in, dancing beneath the stars C. Picking the brain of a local expert D. Cocktails after an exhilarating day ashore

Natural Wanderer
If you got mostly C’s, you’re a Culture Connoisseur ... You crave history and an understanding of the story behind the people and places you visit. Get your fill on a 12-day Far East Discovery cruise (page 15) or 14-day Cape Horn & Strait of Magellan cruise along the South American coast (page 8).
Romantic Escapist If you got mostly B’s, you’re a Romantic Escapist ... Time to sneak away and get lost in your lover’s eyes on an 8-day Fiji Private Island escape (page 30) with candlelit dinners, breakfast in bed, and tropical massages. Or try the sundrenched 10-day Southern Caribbean Medley cruise (page 5).
Nautical Nomad If you got mostly D’s, you’re a Nautical Nomad ... You like to travel in comfort, indulge in a little pampering, and see more than one destination. Consider the 7-day Hawaiian cruise (page 10), the 12-day Adriatic Explorer (page 14), or the 14-night Southeast Asia cruise (page 16).

“Are We There Ye t?”
Are

There
Yet
?
Your mini-survival guide to traveling with kids on a plane
The Ultimate
They may be the four most dreaded words for any parent embarking on a family vacation. “Are we there yet?” – particularly when repeated 854 times before the plane has even left the tarmac – can only mean one thing: the kids are bored! So, how do you keep them entertained (and you sane) for the duration of the flight?
Survival Kit
Some children are happy playing a computer game or having a DVD player plugged to their ears while they watch their favorite animated movie. But for those that have kids that can sometimes be disruptive on flights, try creating your own ‘survival kit’ to get through these difficult times. Fill it up with games, puzzles, crafts, crayons, markers and coloring books, stickers, whatever it takes – just stay away from any ‘noise’ makers!
We’ve come up with some fun and simple suggestions to help take care of your little ones.

Prepare your children for Let them know where the family is going, and when and how long it will take to get there. You might even consider comparing the length of the trip to something they’re familiar with, for instance, the plane ride will be like watching two Harry Potter movies back to back. Also remember, kids can become overwhelmed with unfamiliar airport and airplane environments, so prepare them for those too.

Surprise gifts. The kids will love they get antsy – pull out a readywrapped gift. Hit the toy section at the dollar store for great bargains and precious minutes of peace and quiet! (You could even triple-wrap them for more time wasting).
BYOS – Gone are the days when airlines served meals and snacks, so having a few of your kid’s favorite snacks onboard can nip hunger and the whininess that comes with it in the bud.
TOP 3
Airport Tips Backpacks and rolling carry-ons encourage kids to carry their own stuff. Inside every bag, include a copy of your itinerary and use Ziplocs and mesh laundry bags to keep things contained. When calculating snacks, formula and

your itinerary demands so you don’t get caught short if there’s a delay. Remember the sandwich rule: parent, child, child, parent. If the group gets separated (by a closing elevator for example) there’s a parent on either side.
