December 2009 Holidays - Mumbai

Hello all...

Some of you may have read my post on the Gay & Lesbian Travels Forums... Am a fairly easy traveller myself and wouldnt mind the company of any other traveller(s) around mumbai during the x'mas / new years weekend... am not really into much of the loud party scene as dont intend paying through my nose to eventually become deaf the next morning ... :)

I am 34yrs of age, single and a resident of mumbai... anyone visiting mumbai and needing a place can always refer to my other posts and write in... would be happy to help but meanwhile... if someone does share my thoughts on getting out of this maddening city for the weekend... drop me a line in here or send me a PM... I am a smoker (though dont smoke heavily)... prefer some basic comfortable accomodation (where available)... well travelled globally... though am yet to do nearby countries like Sri Lanka, Maldives etc... ... more »

Christmas in Europe!

Hi,

I am an Indian, and have been living in Norway for last 7 years. Have not traveled so much in Europe, have been busy with studies and then job.

Since I have 1-2 weeks of my vacations left of this year, I am planning to travel to somewhere in Europe around Christmas. I am thinking many options; for example Barcelona, Gran Canaria, Amsterdam or may be Praha.

1. What do you guys say about these places? Where would it be best to be around Christmas? Appriaciate if you share your expierence!

2. Is someone there with similiar plan/destinations? And would like have a Companion? Actually I am very flexible so if you have a better destination in mind just let me know as well!

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions!

Live and let live! :-)

Enjoy a little travel talk?

http://www.corbettstravels.com

Hi everybody.

I was recently browsing the web and saw that there really aren’t many chat rooms on the well known travel websites. Of course you have the terrific forums that we all use but sometimes I really feel like logging on and having a good chat with like minded people.

So, I am adding a Live Video & Chat Room to my blog at www.corbettstravels.com Here we have a very small community of passionate travellers. It’s going live on Sunday 29th November at 8pm UK time and would love it if as many people as possible would come and say hi.

I’m hoping over time, more and more people will become members and come along regularly to have a good chat and to make some new friends.

Sunday 29th November at 8pm UK time at www.corbettstravels.com

See you there. more »

Sorry that we're not flexible on the dates but our flight back is on the 2nd...

We're in contact with Mamaland, Backpacker's and Yebo Tours (Masindi), itineraries are different but comparable,
prices are too high for a couple but reasonable and comparable for 4-6 people.
(Red Chili tour on the 26th is full and their camp is occupied due to a "fishing competition")

"We" is a french-german couple (40+) with by then 2 weeks of Uganda-experience ;o)

Please PM me for details

Have fun
haupi

My friend and I are planning to drive from London to Cape Town in early February 2010 (as early as possible). Early February is now set in stone as we are both leaving work for this trip. If you fancy some adventure then read on!

We are Mike and Christine. Mike has a 300 series Landrover Defender called Himba which has been built from scratch to a decent expedition spec. We are looking for 1-2 people to join us on this trip.

The trip should take around 6 months and take in:

Libya
Tunisia
Egypt
Sudan
Ethiopia
Kenya
Rwanda
Uganda
Tanzania
Malawi
Zambia
Botswana
Namibia and
South Africa

Mike is a 28 year old male from London. I'm Christine, a 26 year old female from Dublin. We have both had enough of city life and want to fulfil a life long ambition! Mike has been lucky to have travelled quite extensively through Europe, the US, Canada, Central America... more »

Patagonia, Southern Argentina 2009

I´m currently travelling solo through South America but would like to meet up with other travellers. I´m in Cordoba, Argentina right now and will probably be leaving this area on the 18th of December and hope to head south for the holidays. In some cultures, I am considered to be quite tolerable and, depending on the day, can be quite charming as well. Let me know if you´re interested.

Road Trip Up West Coast of USA in January

Hey guys,
I fly into Los Angeles on the 28th of December and I'm pretty keen for a road trip, so i'm looking for anyone who's up for a fun trip! My only restriction is I need to be in Vancouver for the 14th January to fly home.

My current plan is:
-Las Vegas for New Year(!!)
-Pass by the Grand Canyon
-Head back to LA along the Mexican border, stopping at Mexicali
-Head up the West coast visiting (at the least): San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle.
-From Seattle, get a boat to Vancouver Island
-Boat to Vancouver
-Fly home...
This is just my rough idea, places can be added/removed if necessary.

Obviously the time of year adds a few impracticalities, so if your not travelling is there advice you can offer? Places not to miss/timing/weather/rough price...

Cheers,

Pete more »
