Destination # 2 : Cape Town South Africa















Tired of the cold and dreary winter months? Why not escape to a warmer climate where you could be getting a tan on a beach instead throwing out your back shoveling snow or chipping ice off your car. If you’re feeling adventurous try Cape Town South Africa. Here, you can visit some of the most pristine beaches in the world. Due to the city's unique geography, it is possible to visit several different beaches all within the same day, each with a different unique setting and atmosphere. Cape Town is Africa's most sought after holiday travel destination. With mountains, vineyards, stunning nightlife hot spots, Chapman’s Peak and glorious beaches, this city is a must for any business traveler or holiday visitor.
If you’re a thrill-seeker looking for a little adventure try extreme cage diving where you will have the opportunity to come face-to-face with a massive great-white shark. It normally takes about an hour-of chumming and baiting before the first great white hones in on the bait with deadly precision.Once the sharks are around, a specially designed, four-man shark cage (which will float slightly below the surface is lowered into the crystal clear waters. Divers with at least snorkel or regulator experience, may enter the cage where they hold on to its inside ring still out of the water, waiting for the shark to approach closer. Most people who have already went diving with sharks, have fond these animals exude tremendous power and grace rather than instilling fear.Even people who may be initially wary of diving with sharks, would find it hard not to bubble over with enthusiasm and awe as soon as they remove their mouthpiece upon emerging from the water and the cage.

Destination #1: Aruba

Set just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela, Aruba is the westernmost island of the Netherland Antilles. Here Spanish, Dutch and Caribbean culture blend together to give visitors a truly rewarding experience. Aruba is renowned for its white, sandy beaches on the western and souther coasts of the island, releatively shletered from fierce ocean currents (this is where most tourist development has taken place). The northern and eastern coasts, lacking this protection, are considerably more battered by the sea and have been left largely untouched by humans. The temperature of Aruba's pleasantly tropical marine climate attracts tourists to the island all year round. Temperature varies little from 80*F moderated by constant trade winds from the Atlantic Ocean. yearly precipitation barely reaches 20 inches, most of it falling in late autumn.
There are plenty of things to do in Aruba to keep tourists busy on land, on water, above the water and below it. The abundance of activities include windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, parasailing, scuba-diving, snorkeling, golfing, jeep tours, horseback riding, biking and hiking. There is also fun-filled night life with luxurious restaraunts, night clubs, and casino resorts. Aruba is the perfect destination for any vacationer.
