Kent says: As winter approaches here in the Northern Hemisphere, summer approaches in the Southern Hemisphere. Rio de Janeiro is an excellent destination for a winter holiday. Stories of slums and deadly gangs of street kids are exaggerated. If you take reasonable precautions you can have a safe vacation in Rio that you will never forget.
Kent says: No other destination blends history, culture and romance like Paris, France. It is simply unique among all other places on Earth. Visit Paris with a plan, then tear up the plan and wander around aimlessly. Paris never disappoints.
Kent says: We are approaching the best time of year to visit Las Vegas. The crowds are small, the prices cheap, and the opportunities endless. Plan a trip now and enjoy Sin City at its best.
Kent says: The Taj Mahal is one of the "must see" travel destination in the world. It is a gleaming temple to love and symbol of India. The country of more than one billion people has plenty of problems, but the Taj Mahal is untouched by them.
Kent says: Kenya has long been the most accessible place to go on a genuine African safari. Despite its political instability in the past, it is still one of the most tourist friendly African destinations with an establish tourist infrastructure.

Rio de Janeiro offers far more than gorgeous scenery, stunning beaches and sumptuous food. It engulfs you in a festive culture that emphasizes pleasure and happiness over stress and worry. Residents of Rio dance now and ponder it later. They are a passionate people. You see it in their annual Carnaval celebration, parties at Ipanema Beach, and frenzy for their soccer teams. This is the perfect time to visit Rio. It is not too hot and the crowds are not so large that they annoy you. The rumors of crime are true, but they are exaggerated. Take reasonable precautions and don't get stuck somewhere strange at night. Travel in groups and know your surroundings. You will have the time of your life.

Simply say "Paris" and people nod with understanding. It is a unique place on Earth that combines the majesty of a colorful history, with the splendor of stunning architecture, with the romance of literature, art and music. The entire city of Paris is a tourist attraction. Sure there are the Eiffel Tower, Champ Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and Louvre, but you don't have to visit any of those places to experience Paris. Just walk down its streets and through its parks. Sample a baggette with cheese or a chocolate croissant. Sit in a cafe and watch the people walk by. Listen to street musicians. You don't need plans in Paris. Just be there.

The absolute best time of year to visit Las Vegas is approaching. Most people use their vacation time at the end of the year during Thanksgiving or Christmas. As a result, Vegas is like a ghost town between the holidays. If you plan a vacation there during this time you can have your pick of hotels at a bargain price, can walk down the Strip without being crowded off the sidewalk, and eat at the most popular restaurants without a reservation. If you don't like crowds but love Vegas, plan your trip now.
