Don’t miss your chance to see how Royalty truly live From the 1 st August Buckingham Palace has been open for all to see, but don’t feel you have to be in a rush, the Summer opening doesn’t close until the end of September (28 th ). The Buckingham Palace opening is an excellent opportunity for travellers both across seas and inland to see the famous home of the UK’s Royal family. There are currently only 56 monarchies in the world, with only three Queens who reign in their own right (Queen Elizabeth II is one of them), so why not take a trip down and digest a piece of the British monarchy.

“Independent Travel, Simplified.” Monogram’s motto to help you see the world the way you want to. Monograms is a fairly new product brought to you by Globus Family of Brands. Globus and Cosmos are both divisions that focus on escorted group tours of Europe, Asia, South America, and North America. However most people feel escorted tours don’t give you enough freedom and dread sitting on a coach with 40 other people for a week or two. Monograms solves this problem! It gives you the convenience of pre-arranging your flights, transfers to/from the airport, accommodations, and city orientation sightseeing as well as a local concierge/guide who will guide you in the right direction whether you need restaurant recommendations, shopping ideas, religious services, public transportation, etc.

I love travel magazines, I must subscribe to at least 15 of them each month besides for the emails and news I read on a daily basis, but I get inundated with ideas of awesome trips that “one day” I will refer back to. Well, I’ve decided to start keeping a diary of sorts and post the most important points of some of these articles to alleviate the clutter here and to help give you ideas of your next vacation. If you have questions about routes, hotels along the way, car rentals, or tours feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you in any way that I can. From March 2010 Budget Travel magazine, I clipped an article on dream road trips: Blue Ridge Parkway 1) The Blue Ridge Parkway-Start in Asheville, which is served by many airlines or drive (from Orlando it is about 9 hours, since we are going up there in November). One of the best and busiest times to visit is late September and October for fall foliage, apple picking, and beautiful fall weather. From Asheville, you will be heading north through the Pisgah National Forest. Some towns to stop along the way are Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, and Linville. Once you hit Boone, you may want to turn around and head back to Asheville or continue on into Virginia.
