Megen Kenya

Recently, I started a brand new job travelling around Europe and thanks to my most awesome of degrees, I have been able to visit a ton of countries I never thought I would be able to afford to visit! This job has been the most amazing that I have ever had and since I’m right out of college, I feel like I might be a little spoiled! I was sent to Faro recently and was pretty impressed that the company had bought me a car hire faro airport so I could get some relaxation in between my flights. That’s when I realized how great the company is that I work for; they actually planned ahead knowing that I was going to be tired and unfamiliar with the area, so they hired transport for me. I can’t imagine many other companies doing this for their employees – this is exactly how every employee should be treated. It bothers me to no end that so many companies see their work force simply as that; labor.

People are much more than their jobs. Continue reading "Visiting the United Kingdom Thanks to Work" »

I have been a little dissatisfied with vacations that I have taken my family on in recent years, and I am hoping to change things up a bit in order to create a more fun experience for everyone involved. I guess that I am hoping to take my family on a nice cruise this year, but I will only be ale to do so if it is not too expensive. As such, I am trying to look on the internet in order to find out more information about cruise deals and I am hoping that I will be able to find some really cheap rates on cruises to the Bahamas. I am not sure how much cruises typically cost, because I have never been on one before in my life, so that is another thing that I should probably look into while I am on the internet doing research.

I am thinking that July is probably the best time of year for my family to take this vacation. My wife will be able to take vacation time in July, and it is one of the nicest months of the year. At least, it is one of the nicest months of the year in my opinion. I really want to go on a trip to the Bahamas, because that sounds really idyllic and relaxing. However, if there are other tropical cruises that are cheaper, than I am open to changing my mind. I have always wanted to go on a cruise, and I have been saving up a little extra money over the past couple of years in order to try and go on one. The vacation my family took last year ended up being kind of depressing, as we went to the beach, and it ended up raining the whole time.

I am going to be going to visit the Airbus facility in Toulouse next month and I have decided to take a sidetrip afterwards. I have always wanted to go to Africa for a real safari and several times I have made plans, but they have fallen through. This is going to be a bit tricky, but it can be managed. First I have to finish the Toulouse arrangements, like a hotel and a car hire at toulouse airport. It is going to be a bit of a strange trip, because I have several meetings in the area, but there is a week between them. So I would be sitting around Toulouse for the week if I were not making other plans. Continue reading "Best Options to Fly from France to Kenya" »

Some of the best times of our lives are spend in the company of our family and friends. When you look at these special moments, you will remember that they occurred during your trips to far off locations of the planet during your vacation trips with them.

How can you plan your very next europe tour trip to perfection? First of all, you must have an idea about the type of vacation that you want to participate in. Your family might have preferences like a vacation trip to a beach, a camping site, boating in a lake, scuba diving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, hiking, para-jumping, snow skating, surf boarding, wild safari etc. in mind. You must understand these preferences and choose one of them for the next trip. In some cases, you can incorporate more than one of these activities and locations in to the same trip.

The next important aspect is in understanding your budget. Continue reading "How to Plan a Great Vacation Trip?" »

My wife has been nagging me for years to take her somewhere special. We never seem to go anywhere that would be considered an exotic vacation and I thought that our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary was the perfect occasion to change that. I had done some research and found that there are some great vacation spots in Kenya that she would absolutely love.

Once I had a location picked out, I continued to work on the rest of the plans. I found bwi limo service online and thought that it would be just what I needed to top everything off. I thought that I could make arrangements to get picked up at the airport by a limo and taken to the hotel. Continue reading "Getting a Dream Vacation Planned" »

We have decided that we are going to take a cruise in the Indian Ocean after we finish with our Safari in Kenya. Of course we planned the Kenyan Safari years ago, but more pressing events forced us to forgo it. Now we have decided to go on with it and we also found some cheap Cunard cruises, specifically we think we shall sail from Dubai in the Indian Ocean and go to Singapore. We are a little concerned with the troubles between the Kenyan Defense Forces and the Islamist militia Al Shabaab in Somalia, but we intend to avoid those areas and instead we shall safari in and near Mount Kenya National Park. It looks like a really great location for the safari, but there are some other National Parks which we considered and would also love to visit.

Our cruise will leave Dubai on January 13 and we shall be sailing upon the Queen Mary 2. We decided to pay for the Ocean view balcony. It seemed a bit strange to go on a cruise like that and get a room where you would not be able to have a great view of the ocean. That shall cost 200 English Pounds more than the less expensive inside rooms, which I believe is around 300 US dollars. Of course the cruise will last two whole weeks, so you are only paying between 20 and 25 dollars per day more. It is not a big issue for us since this is going to be a once in a lifetime event. No reason to be a penny pincher when you are buying something for the experience of doing it. It would be great if we could afford to take a more extended cruise and we are thinking about flying home through Australia.

I found out about the Puerto Galera resorts as I was searching for the perfect place for my husband and I to go for our very first getaway, I found a website that directed me to Puerto Galera on the island of Mindoro. I wanted to find a place that was full of things to do and sights to see. As I looked through the Filipino and European style accommodations, I knew that I had found exactly what I was looking for.

I continued to read through the information about Puerto Galera and fell in love with the idea of going. I spent hours looking through the different places that my husband and I could stay at. There were some that were far beyond our level of affordability but still quite fun to look at.

My girlfriend and I have started to plan our honeymoon and for now we have decided upon a Kenyan safari. Obviously we are looking at hotels and accommodation which would safe from the problems on the Somali border. We are really interested in the Mount Kenya area. I am thinking about the Fairmount Safari Club, but my fiance does not think it is going to be much like a safari if we are staying in a beautiful luxury resort. I am sort of standing my ground because I am such a big fan of the movie star William Holden. He built the Fairmount as place to escape and Stalag 17 is my favorite movie of all time.

There are many ways to go from Mumbai to Goa. Since time was not a factor for me, I decided to go on a bus because I would be able to spend more time in different parts of the country. I had just spent a really great week in Goa. It may be the smallest state in India, but it offers so much to both its residents as well as tourists. I love going to the beach which is why I had selected Goa as the first leg of my trip. I knew that I would have a great time exploring the culture there as well as indulging myself in visits to the gorgeous beaches. I ate at so many nice restaurants, and I can only hope to recreate some of the meals myself once I get home. I spent a week there, but I was also looking forward to going to Mumbai.

It is considered one of the biggest metropolitan areas in all of India. I knew that it would be crowded there, but that didn’t bother me.

I’m an adventurer who likes to travel to different locations around the world. My last adventure led me to a beautiful European location known as the Mykonos villa. It was unlike any other place I had seen in Europe, let alone the world. There are so many places on this planet to see, but after the villa, I wasn’t sure that anything could ever come close to matching the wonders I had seen. That is, until I went to Kenya, located in Africa.

Like I do before I make all of my travels, I browsed the Internet for new locations that I could possibly visit. I randomly came across a travel site that was about Kenya. I had only heard about Kenya in name and knew little to nothing about it, so I carefully read the contents of the site.

Who would have thought of Kenya as being one of the most beautiful tourism destinations in the world? We were considering a visit to spain for holiday , until we booked a two week getaway in Kenya. Our vacation led us to one of the primary tourism destinations in Africa. It wasn’t as visually stunning as the white sandy beaches of Florida, but it was much much more historically interesting.

The primary focus of our vacation to Kenya was, like everyone else, to take a safari there. Let me just say that we were very impressed with all of the wildlife we witnessed. With all of the parks and nature preserves in Kenya, we didn’t even begin to scratch the surface. This African country truly is a wonderland of biodiversity – I don’t think we could have seen it all even if we stayed there a year. After seeing the lions and the zebras up close and personally, I just don’t think that Saturday night nature programs featuring these animals are going to be as interesting anymore.

But we also discovered hidden treasures of Kenya that most people don’t consider when booking a vacation here. The tribal people who inhabit this land have a lot to teach us about respecting other cultures. We personally witnessed the Maasai during one of their cultural ceremonies. Aside from the rich biodiversity, the culture is rich with traditions dating back thousands of years. Witnessing their cultural ceremony alone would have made the whole vacation worth it.

Our tour ended with visiting Nairobi – the capital of Kenya. This city allowed us to appreciate how much the urban centers of Kenya have advanced, while still holding onto rich tradition values of the surrounding tribes. With the urban and cultural, the cities and the vast plains, it’s no wonder Kenya is one of the premier tourist destinations in the world.

My grandparents are from Kenya, and they have been asking me to come and visit them for as long as I can remember. However I am a little reluctant to take a trip to this part of the world. However after talking about it with my parents, and receiving a lot of encouragement from my friends I have come the conclusion that this month I’m going to go and visit my grandparents. Is going to be relatively easy for me to take the trip, because I can leave directly from Los Angeles International Airport layover in Europe, and from there go to Kenya.

I know that from the moment I arrive in Kenya my grandparents are going to have a lot of things prepared for me to do. However I would also like to break away from them if I could and spend a little time sightseeing on my own. I have heard so much about some of the safaris that are available in Kenya, and I would really like to do one of these.
