My husband, Ed, and I took a wonderful 25-day tour to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan with Baraka Journeys (South Pasadena, CA; 626/570-1700, www.barakajourneys.com), April 13-May 7, 2008.
What set our 19-day Odysseys Unlimited (Newton, MA; 888/370-6765, www.odysseys-unlimited.com) tour of China apart from similar itineraries of other companies was our tour’s director, Ms. Wang Ping.
During a short stay in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in March ’07, my travel partner, Frank, and I took a private tour to the Kuala Gandah Elephant Conservation Centre.
Jeju, a tiny island paradise just 55 miles south of mainland Korea, is a paragon of peaceful relaxation. Truly away from the madding crowd, it is a place where anyone can simply listen to the quiet. Many couples choose to honeymoon there.
On a trip to Malaysia, my significant other, Frank, and I spent a night in Kuala Lumpur where, if a visitor does nothing else, seeing the Petronas Twin Towers is a must.
