Not all of us can be rock stars. But that can’t stop us from traveling like one! This is where Rock Star Tour Bus comes in.

Mystique of the Orient Express
Posted by Camica as Around The World, Historical, Luxurious, Transport
Ever heard of the Orient Express? Readers of Agatha Christie should be familiar with her novel, “Murder on the Orient Express”. It was also used in the James Bond movie “From Russia With Love”. The Orient Express is the name of a long-distance passenger train originally operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. Its route has changed many times, and there are actually several privately run trains that use the name as well. Although the original Orient Express was simply a normal international railway service, the name has become synonymous with intrigue and luxury travel.

First Class High
Posted by Camica as Air Travel, Luxurious, Reviews, Transport
If you’ve flown a long-haul flight, then I’m sure you’ve experienced how difficult it is to try to sleep on one. Flying coach, especially, can be an ordeal. The seats are so close together, you’ll consider it a minor victory to grab an armrest, never mind trying to tilt your seat back to get a comfortable position for sleeping. My aunt, whenever she flies with her daughters, just lays a blanket on the floor and makes them sleep there. Flying first class, of course, is way better, but it still depends on the airline and the aircraft.
Well, if you’ve got money to spare, try out Emirates’ new A340-500 First Class cabins. Short of owning your own jet, this airline offers the ultimate in luxury. Their seats are called suites, and they …

As I promised in my last post, here’s the rest of the top ten hotels on my wish list:
6. Dromoland Castle, Shannon, Ireland – Almost every girl has dreamed about being a princess and living in a castle. This castle hotel sets a high standard of luxury, blending old world elegance with modern day comforts. Another point to it’s favour is it’s location in Ireland, a country that‘s full of great scenery, history and a touch of the magical.

It’s the world’s largest commercial tree house that lets you sleep in the treetops of the Amazon Rainforest. “Tarzan’s house,” for example, is perched on stilts, 80 feet above ground, with the apartments linked by a series of catwalks.
8. Singita Private Game Reserve, South Africa –You …

Hotel Wish List
Posted by Camica as Around The World, Destinations, Family, Hotels, Luxurious, Resorts, Travelogger
If you have money to burn, and you have the opportunity to escape to your dream hotel, where would you go? In my case, of course, I will still always go for comfort… you’re not going to get me to pay money to camp out on a bedroll in the ground with no hot water! But that doesn’t mean I’m not up for an adventure. Some of the hotels on my wish list will definitely guarantee an experience to remember! Allow me to share with you my faves. One caveat though, not all of these hotels are kid-friendly. And some of my picks require that I win the lottery first. Oh well, I can dream, can’t I?
Penthouse Suite at Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France – this is one hotel suite that I’ll probably …

Dream Honeymoon Destinations
Posted by Hannah Grace as Asia, Europe, Features, Getaways, Luxurious, Resorts, Romantic
To celebrate Traveloggers nice new look I have decided to spend this post sharing my dream honeymoon destinations. The places listed below are definitely pricey but worth it if you can afford it! Perfect for first time honeymooners of for those who want to celebrate a special anniversary.
France – Of course France is always part of anyone’s list when it comes to romantic getaways. Paris would be great but France has so much to offer that you really would need to spend an entire month touring different parts of France. The only problem with France would be that you might end up focusing on the tours instead of the romance. Wanting to cover as much as you want of France make sure you don’t end up getting caught in a frenzy as you try to see the Alps at Provence, the vineyards at Bordeuax and Champagne, the rugged beautiful coastlines …

Posted by Zahir as Americas, Around The World, Asia, Carribbean, Getaways, Islands, Luxurious, Nature, People, Resorts, Romantic, Trends, United States
The name itself is synonymous to beaches and tropical paradise. The Bahamas would usually be heard for people who are in need of a well-deserved vacation. More so, people may be saying it but do not actually know what is really special about the Bahamas being the word of mouth today.

Never Over pack Your Luggage on Vacation
Posted by Zahir as Adventure, Air Travel, Americas, Around The World, Asia, Backpacking & Budget, Europe, Family, Food and Drink, Getaways, Hotels, Luxurious, People, Shopping, Transport, Trends, United States
Things to wear and bring when a person would want to travel in areas such as London, England, or Germany should be properly defined so that a person would not end up bringing stuff they would not even wear. Depending on the length of his stay, underwear, shirts, pants and shoes are the basic necessities to which a person is not expected to change after every 4 hours to meet up with people or simply have a look around.
Some people exaggerate when they travel. It comes to a point where people seeing them may ask are you leaving for good? Funny as it may seem, some people are just not in their right senses if they are not thinking straight or are perhaps pressed for time.
Add to this that over-packing luggage is hard to pull or push …

Visiting and checking out the various countries of the world is more than plain enjoyment and pleasure. It is also about doing something different from a change from the usual sight-seeing and nature tours. Theme parks have defined tourism in another aspect, creating a twist to which people can expect something different from fantasy to reality type of endeavors today.
