Adventure Specialists!

Well, I didn't know there was such a thing, until I began searching and found them!

They have the ultimate adventure in Colorado's Sangre de Cristo Wilderness, Mexico's Cooper Canyon or Peru;s Vilcabamba range! Horse back treking, with white water rafting, research expeditions, hiking or a pack donkey! This is the kind of adventure we are looking for.

They have everything from day rides to a 5 day Ultimate Pack trip complete with long days in the saddle, campfire meals and lots of wildlife. This one is rated "confident riders only" but there are other packages that are rated "easy", like their "Surf and Turf". "We combine horses, wilderness camping, and white water fun with two nights of comfortable lodging. A Friday evening return allows weekend exploration of historic Colorado Springs." says their website.

I can't wait to sign on for this adventure. You can make it anything you want.

Ever wanted to know what a Dolphin feels like?

This is an adventure of the mammal kind. The Florida keys is a wonderful place for either adventure or relaxing. The best Dolphin encounter program I have ever been through is at Dolphins Plus in Key Largo.

The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and humorous and so are the dolphins. Sugar the Sea Lion is like a big cat, and loves to pretend she doesn't see you!

This is fantastic for kids, adults, anyone! You can even propose to your fiance or get married there.

You've got to experience this. Put this on your list of 50 things I must do!

Where do I find ideas for a great adventure/vacation?

Creating the best of vacations can be very exciting to experience, but very stressful to plan and it can encompass everything from culinary tours to a dangerous sport. Vacationing can mean more than relaxing on a beautiful beach it can be full of adrenaline — and it can mean learning and practicing new skills, it can mean team work, and immersing yourself in activities or concentrating on accomplishing a goal.

There are lots and lots of magazines and internet sites to look at, but here is one of the BEST places to look first!
Can you believe it's in the collections of the Library of Congress, under Science Reference Services? http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/SciRefGuides/vacation.html
