Vietnam Adventure Tour

This is an amazing Vietnam tour that BootsnAll offers in our adventure travel section. It’s 22-day adventure trip in Vietnam, traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi - cycling, caving, boating, trekking and cultural homestays. It’s definitely for adventurers. I don’t think it could offer much more. The trips is barely over $1000, so [...]

And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
