Enjoyable trip to South Africa

Travelers' Intercom, January 2008 issue
Enjoyable trip to South Africa
My husband, Lewis, thought if we checked into South African Airways (800/722-9675, www.flysaa.com) at Washington Dulles Airport 3½ hours before our flight to Cape Town on Jan. 11, 2007, we might have a good chance of getting an exit-row seat, knowing they give preference to their SAA Voyager program members (which we are not). Alas, ...

Keeping in touch with the folks back home

Travelers' Intercom, December 2007 issue
Bill Steltzer of West Grove, Pennsylvania, lamented that on a May ’07 trip to France he had trouble finding public Web-access points. “Now that computer ownership is universal, the Internet cafés have vanished,” he wrote. “We used to find public libraries good spots for Internet access but not on this past trip. At the mediatheques (small-town ...

Driving Namibia

Driving Namibia
by Joyce Bruck, Ocean Ridge, FL My longtime friend Winnie Outcalt joined me in Johannesburg, South Africa, on August 18, 2006, for an adventure to Namibia. My interest in Namibia began when I saw pictures of the Skeleton Coast with its sand dunes, animals and shipwrecks. As I did my usual extensive research, I discovered there ...

Southern Africa trains

Travelers' Intercom, October 2007 issue
In July ’06 I made a deposit of $2,400 for trips on the following Shongololo Express trains in Southern Africa: Good Hope, March 6-21, 2007 ($3,680), Dune Express, March 27-April 11 ($3,905) and Southern Cross, April 11-26 ($4,350) — total cost, $11,935. So it was with concern that I read in ITN the news item “South ...

  In Mombacho National Park, Nicaragua, a 4×4 truck took us to the top of the crater of Mombacho Volcano. We ascended the steep slope and passed by some coffee plantations. Our 2-hour nature walk was beautiful — many orchids plus other flowers in bloom and many photo stops. Wear good shoes, as it can be ...

  A “must visit” in Lithuania is Trakai, a restored 12th-century castle 28 kilometers east of Vilnius on an island in Lake Galve. In the mid-June we were there, a ballet and opera performance were held in the courtyard; these are, however, summertime events. (The sun rises at 3 a.m. and sets at 10 p.m. here ...

Natural wonders of the world

Travelers' Intercom, November 2006 issue
In no specific order, following are the places I have visited that I consider to be the greatest of the natural wonders of our world. (The Grand Canyon in Arizona would be on this list, but I’m concentrating on sights covered by ITN, those outside of North America and the Caribbean.) Several entries from my list ...

A typical safari?

Travelers' Intercom, May 2006 issue
My wife, Dorothy, and I had been on safari in Africa on two previous occasions. The first was to Kenya and Tanzania, and it remains the best trip we ever experienced — and we have toured all the continents and over 60 countries. Our second was a walking safari through Zimbabwe and Zambia. We wanted to ...

Tanzania safari

Tanzania safari
When we decided to see the wildebeest migration in Tanzania, we researched different companies online and in ITN and decided on Africa Dream Safaris (4825 Torrance Blvd., Ste. l4, Torrance, CA 90503; phone 877/572-3274 or visit www.africadreamsafaris.com). Michael Wishner arranged our entire trip, which went off like clockwork. He was easy to talk to and would ...

Flying around the world

Travelers' Intercom, December 2005 issue
Nancy Stott of Walnutport, Pennsylvania, wrote, “I would like to see readers write on the topic of ‘around-the-world itineraries’ such as those featured by airline alliances and some consolidators. It would be great to have a few first-person accounts of experiences plus suggestions.” We printed Nancy’s request in our June ’05 issue and received a number ...
