My Top 10 Travel Destinations for 2010

My “Greatest Life” Top 10 Travel Destinations For 2010

If you believe the many travel sites that are trying to predict the hot destinations for 2010 you might be surprised by what you see.  You might see a lack of creativity, and get bored with some of the top picks. Now I have had my fair share of traveling experiences and have been to at least of half the destination below, therefore I put my stamp of approval on these and will say these are definitely places tourists will always want to go to.  Over the past ten years the list of the hot destinations has changed very little but we can offer something different.  There is good reason why these continue to be the spots to go to; they have the most to offer.  It is no wonder that each of these locations have millions of people pass through each and every year.   So where are the top ten destinations predicted to be for 2010?

Las Vegas continues to be one of the top destinations in the US.  With activities for the adults and the kids, it has become more of a family friendly location.  Hotels now have attractions for kids including rides, kid’s camps and other fun activities that they can partake in.  Of course the adults have the casinos but they also have the night life and the culture.  Almost every hotel on the strip has some type of show playing each night.  Some shows are as sophisticated as the shows you would catch on Broadway.

Bahamas, not only are the Bahamas a great tropical getaway, but the accommodations that you can choose from are an adventure. The Atlantis Resort in Nassau Bahamas is a great place to start. I think I have been here at least 10 times or more. I’ve honestly lost count. You can choose The Cove, Royal Towers or The Reef and if you don’t like the idea of a hotel room you can even rent a villa on the beach. There are spas, casinos, water parks and more. Some of the packages you can book include children under 11 free.  So if you are looking for a vacation away from the kids or bringing the kids along you can find something for everyone.  Also they have one of the sickest Marina’s I have ever seen for all those yachting enthusiasts out there! 5 Star Resort Here…but is definitely a bit pricey! Trust me though…it’s worth it!

Australia is a great vacation destination. They have several vacation locations for those who want to experience everything Australia has to offer. Whether you are checking out the Great Barrier Reef or the Sydney Opera House there is always something to see and do.  You can select Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns with its beaches, the capital city of Perth, sub-tropical Brisbane, relaxing Adelaide, Surfer’s Paradise, the garden city of Canberra, or Darwin. So much to see and so little time for vacation; you can return again and again and never see it all.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is a world away from the everyday. This Portuguese colony has erupted into a modern day paradise. You can climb mountains, swim the coastal waters, laze the day away on the beaches and still have energy for the daily nightlife. Rio is the best choice for sun, surf and dancing in South America. If you enjoy alfresco dining, buffets and are willing to try something new the food is excellent. Visit the normal tourist attractions but visit new areas and enjoy the old and the new.

FIJI, when you see grass skirts and coconuts do you think of Hawaii, how about considering Fiji instead. Why settle for five islands when you can choose 333 to explore. Tropical beaches, plenty of sunshine, coral reefs, and plenty of romance. You can hike trails, climb mountains, explore the forests and relax the entire time. Make all your dreams and fantasies come true with a trip to tropical Fiji. Learn new things about the culture and inhabitants. This is a fully interactive vacation spot.

Bangkok, Thailand Do you want a change from the tropical? This exotic destination is a mix of old and new. You can see the modern in the concrete and glass and still see the old temples, shrines and statuary of the old. One night in Bangkok is not enough to see all Bangkok has to offer. Visit the Golden Palace, the ancient city, Erawan Shrine, and so many other cultural sites. Visit the food stalls and shopping centers to meet the real people of Bangkok; they are always smiling and friendly.

Kenya, Africa Would you like to go where the wild things are? Professional guides can take you out to the savannah and see the wildlife in its natural habitat, wonder at the natural beauty of the mountains and lakes of Africa. These safaris make a great change from the regular beach vacations. The guides can help you plan and schedule the best vacation of your life.

Venice, Italy the city on the water; this city is great not only for honeymoon destinations but for those who just want to get away from awhile. The relaxed atmosphere is the best for those who are letting go of the stress of everyday life. The shopping, restaurants, and attractions are meant for leisure enjoyment. Also if your a lover of the water like myself how great would it be to visit a place with such rich culture and history, where you also have the finest Italian foods, and travel the city by waterways? Amazing…

Ibiza, Spain is an exotic location for those who want something different. Ibiza is known for their mecca dance parties and is truly the “land of the young.” With beautiful Mediterranean beaches, young people all out having fun, and party after party. it’s hard not to at least visit this place once in your lifetime. I mean come on… Legendary dance clubs like Pacha, Amnesia, and Privilege, are hometown here and the best DJ’s in the world frequently visit the island to make for phenominal parties.

Norway, many people do not think of Norway as an exotic land but it is. Norway has a natural beauty that we can all appreciate. I would know because I have been here a half a dozen times and have seen the lands by natives…the things most tourists don’t get to see. The beautiful fjords surround all over Norway. Where I have been was Bergen and Oslo. Osly is the capital of Norway, and Bergen is the second largest city. Both equally beautiful, and expensive! I remeber paying like $30 for a meal at McDonalds with my old girl. Hilarious!   The mountains and fjords are spectacular and the castles and ancient roads are a wonder to behold. Although not a tropical destination the land of the Norse will provide a comfortable destination where you can relax before a roaring fire, enjoy new and exotic food dishes and feel the old world surround you. A truly wonderful place…

Any tourists in the US will be able to find a great travel vacation spot between these ten hot spots.  There are plenty more places to see as well but this is certainly an all star list to start with. There is something for everyone you just have to know how to find it.
