I took a memorable journey to the “end of the world,” Chile’s Patagonia region, with Adventures For Singles (1907 Daniel Green Ct., Smyrna, GA 30080; phone 877/813-9421 or visit www.adventuresforsingles.com).
We took an 11-day tour of Iceland in July ’04 with Vantage Deluxe World Travel (90 Canal St., Boston, MA 02114-2031; phone 800/322-6677). The cost for two of us, including all airfare and an overnight stay in Baltimore on our return, was $7,328.

From April 1 to May 15, ’04, we spent four weeks on our own in the Czech Republic and Hungary and then another two weeks in Romania, ending up back in Bucharest.
