Saturday, October 22, 2005Saying hey bop shoe bop shoe bop shoe....saying what.....saying Hey! Does anyone remember the roots of this song? Perhaps at a campfire in the woods on a trip? Perhaps at your favourite childhood camp? Perhaps somewhere special? I've heard it at a combination of places. Many people across the globe dream of doing the literal meaning of that phrase. Travelling to a series of countries on chosen continents or all seven to work, study, perform humanitarian aid or to have fun and experience the planet. The reason usually takes in several of these points. Doing just this whether part of getting your university or college degree if you're fresh from highschool or further down the road. In experiencing different cultures and countries especially melded into one huge or shorter journey of a lifetime is one of the absolute most enriching things that can be done in the world today. Especially today, the world has become such an intertwined global village with communication and extensive air and land networks encapsulating the world in ways it has never before seen to this extent. A incredibly popular travel agency Air Treks offers a unique website that allows globe trotters to plan their cross country, continental or global trek using their unique program.  Their Trip Planner allows you to design your trip in a matter of minutes. Simply enter with ease the cities you would like to fly between, changing the sequence as you wish on the list that builds on the right-hand side of the screen. In addition a map of the world forms dots representing the cities and long lines representing where you are travelling to. Most major world cities are in their database as well as a host of smaller places. If the one you want doesn't appear you can easily search for it. Once complete click the link once you have processed your proposed trip once the final results come up. The final results will show listed your original sequence along with its pricing and other versions. The other versions are variations that allow you to see more of the world by both land and air for a slightly higher or similar price. To keep the price lower, the key is to plan the trip in geographical order. For example if you wanted to go to Japan & South Korea from Toronto, Canada you give this sequence a shot on the system: Toronto, Canada---->Vancouver, Canada ---->Honolulu, Hawaii---->Osaka, Japan ---->Seoul, South Korea This would be the best way to enjoy different destinations along the route, they can be smaller, extensive or small jaunts. This global travel allows you to experience immense amounts of culture and truly take in our world in an affordable and easy manner. Airline networks will give you different options though their members are carved in stone and the possibilites are more limited not endless. Though they can still offer great deals and affordable trips Air Treks' take on travel is a much more affordable and easy way to work out the world. Once you have completed the sequence, email it to one of their travel agents who will go over it with a fine tooth comb, call you back and provide feedback and perhaps alter your course to capture more or alter pricing. They will then lead you through further arrangements and the booking and payment process. Get out there and give this a shot at some point! I am hoping to do something similar during college, perhaps a version as early as next year as part of a study abroad program. A full fledge one later on in life. Start your jetseeking and tame those travel bugs! Teague Neal blogged on 4:13 AM
