Boomer Travel Deals Wakes Up to New Zealand

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Wake up Boomers… say “good morning” in the land of birds and fauna unlike anything you have ever seen! New Zealand is a bird watching boomer feast of eye candy exotica!

I am a bird watching, bird loving boomer myself and while some may snortle at traveling all that way to watch birds, I think it is a perfectly legitimate reason to travel 13,056.0km or 8113.0 miles, don’t you?

What is a 15 hour flight compared to the magnificence of the terrestrial birds, seabirds, and wetland birds that have survived 700 years of human habitation in a paradise they once occupied more abundantly and gloriously than we can now even imagine?

Unfortunately, the list of extinct, vulnerable, rare, and critically endangered bird species is frighteningly long. Especially the various Moa’s. It is worth the time and expense to see the Great Spotted Kiwi’s and their chicks, along with the Phoenix Patrel and many others I had never heard of until I began researching endangered birds of the world.

I have a feeling that taking a Wanaka River Journey is going to be one of my near future vacations because I am getting more and more excited at the prospect with each web site I see. Now this would be the way to see various sections of the country and it’s wildlife. Talk about a great video in the making! Speaking of video, I found this video on YouTube that excited me so much I could barely contain myself!
You can tour New Zealand right now for an appealing appetizer that will leave you drooling.

If you are one of those (few) ;-) Boomers who has not yet done the obligatory bungee jump, ridden the white water rapids, or climbed a mountain in some exotic locale then this is the vacation for you and your mate.

Spend a week in New Zealand and you can fulfill all your fantasies including making love on a pristine beach under the stars after a days hike and a midnight walk along the shore. How many things have you put off in your life until the proverbial later which never seems to become now?

Go to my earlier post on passports and get yourself geared up to come alive in New Zealand. You will come home a different person. We are going. It is 4th on our list of annual honeymoons. If you recall from earlier articles, we are the HoneyBoomers and we honeymoon annually. It does keep life exciting folks.

Remember,the only thing stopping you is you. If you don’t plan it and start the machine, it will never happen. The first step is the decision. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I didn’t know HOW I would make something happen but I knew WHAT I intended to happen so I acted on it and everything fell into place because I decided, planned, took action, envisioned and had faith as I took each step. Some trips have taken a year or two or three to materialize but they always do!

By now all of us are actively using the power of thought and feeling to co create our lives or, at the very least, we are learning just how it is that we do that. Watching the unfolding of dream destinations and vacations become reality is a great way to measure the perfection of the universal laws of attraction. Have fun Boomers and I will see you in New Zealand! Travel safe Mate!

Greece Anyone? Dream Destinations Await

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Greetings and Welcome to Boomer Travel Deals and Dream Destinations.

Yes, Boomer Buddies; Dream Destinations await and “where to?” is the question of the day. As for me, I am not that picky. The thing is, I love to vacation and I love to travel. Lately, I have not done enough of either one. Let me tell you, it is a wonderful world for boomer’s who love to travel. So what? No dream destination…?

As for me, I do have a dream destination: Greece. Maybe you’ve been there.
It is Santorini, which is where I would like to go for my honeymoon. Originally, I wanted to go to Hawaii but after a conversation with my sister I got the Greece bug once again.
Now I am drooling over Greece and can’t wait to go there with my honey.
KalimEra!

Santorini is Magic!
Santorini Scenes

Another friend of mine took a sailing vacation around and through the Greek Islands with her husband and they are still talking about it three years later. How could I possibly forget?! The photo CD’s of their trip are as exciting as any movie and for weeks after watching them Greece kept calling my name- Alexandra…..Alexandra….come to Greece…… I love it.

For some reason I keep longing for thousands years old historic sites and breathtaking mornings with miles of blue ocean and the sites and smells of Greece as I imagine them. Bright white buildings built into cliffs and lots of music and laughter and ancient Greek Orthodox Churches tease my mind endlessly. I wish I could go right now.

Have you seen the magnificence that is Greece yet? No? Perhaps some reawakened Sirens or Trojan horses to beware of? I want to walk on land that Socrates and Aristotle walked on but did you know this; cultured people walked the land of Greece previous to 3600 B.C.?

Just three weeks in a hillside house overlooking Santorini with no technology and not one ringing phone. Give me sunny, outrageously blue skies and endless Aegean blue water, human conversation (non verbal) with the man of my dreams, and lots of walking (as opposed to sitting). That’s all I ask. I’ll be as good as new in no time.

Tell me about your trips to Greece. Tease me with your memories and enlighten me as to the best places to go-on any of the Greek Islands please. Thank you!
And please-do tell all!
