I am recently bereaved and used to travelling with my late husband. A friend has asked me to go on holiday with her this year which is nice but now we need to decide where to go. We are both in our late 60's fit and healthy.
She would like a cruise, but all the cruises I've been on seem to be mainly couples. I do love cruising but worried that I might get upset seeing all those couples together.
I'd like to do something different- but struggling to come up with ideas. We intend to go in May.

I'm heading to Thailand [Bangkok & Phuket] this week for a week on a business sponsored holiday.

I've read a lot on what women shouldn't wear in Thailand so as not to offend the Thais - ie. no shorts, tank tops or short skirts - but I'd like confirmation from people who have been there recently. Our accomodation is in luxury hotels, and I'd imagine there that these types of clothing are acceptable, but when we go out from the confines of the hotel what sort of clothes should I be wearing?

Thanks!

On TV, a man is travelling Manitoba, Canada, and he says
"We actually have got some essentials to buy. Maps, that is the first thing, ...(looking for a map which seems much more like a white and black postcard)White Mouth, White Water, White Dog."

Is there maps called "White Mouth, White Water, White Dog" in Canada??
I search internet but could not find any of these.

does any one know what these are?

Do they usually work as travel writers? Are some just tv personalities?

My main reason for trying to find a high-paying job will be to pay for trips overseas. However, if I can find a job that includes travel or is based around traveling, I wouldn't care about the pay so much. Any ideas for someone who wants to get to know about other cultures?

Everyone that I talk with values education. Society encourages college educations. But why don't people travel more? Traveling opens one's eyes and introduces fresh and new ideas. Most people enjoy going on trips and like to hear about other people's trips. Many would say that traveling is as important as any college course. So my question is: Why is it that more people don't travel?

i have a large duffle bag full of personal belongings that would be better used at my home in the us instead of my home in the uk. i should have brought it with me last time i travelled but didn't think it would be necessary. i checked as many options online as i could think of (fedex, postal service, etc) but it all seems so expensive. i would really appreciate any helpful ideas, suggestions and/or links to other international shipping services.

I am from the UK and have the brilliant opportunity to visit either Australia or America this year, I honestly don't know which to choose. Hopefully one day i'll be able to do both, but does anyone have any suggestions that might help my immediate decision? Thanks :)

It can be either in Palm Springs, San Diego, or Temecula. It is for a romantic getaway to celebrate my boyfriend's b-day and 5 year anniversary.

Me and my friends are trying to plan out a cruise for our vacation. What websites would be good for finding a good price on one and maybe one that has a list of cruise liners to choose from.
