Trendy Hot Travel Destinations



Now that we are in mid-summer its time to take advantage of the amazing travel deals before they run out. Tourism has never been in such demand. Airlines are desperate to fill up their seats and major cities both at home and abroad are going all out to encourage inquisitive travelers to visit their shores. Here is a highlight of some of the HOT destinations that will no doubt provide you with all the necessities of a well-balanced, enlightened and affordable trip. Washington D.C. has become the IT place ever since Obama mania hit this politically charged town. But there is so much more to this city than their famous White House residents. The Smithsonian museums, National Monuments and even the National Zoo are available for your viewing free of charge. And the weekends seem to be the best time to score great hotel deals due to the out-flux of business travelers. The newest addition to D.C. is the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. For those of you seeking a little adventure, taking a a trek across the world to the site of ancient times maybe the ideal getaway for you. Saqqara, Egypt is home to a famous massive step pyramid that was specially built for King Djoser by the historic designer Imhotep. It is surrounded by lush greenery and is situated at the edge of the desert. It is picturesque and almost frozen in time. It is  also more visitor-friendly compared to the high-tempo metropolis Cairo, because it is virtually a hidden treasure and less hyped which helps to minimize the traffic flow of tourists making it an ideal destination to comfortably explore. Cartagena, Columbia is another HOT spot that will blow all your stereotypes out of the water. Over the years Columbia as been known for some not so cool things: Drug Trafficking and Drug Wars. But times are a-changing, and now this eclectic and culturally colorful city is coming into its own, attracting a flight load of visitors along the way. Its actually quite accessible since its only a 2.5 hour flight from Miami, FL. With its scenic beaches,  highly delectable restaurants, and pulsating nightlife, Cartagena will definitely be a pleasant and rewarding experience. So hopefully these HOT spots have given you the incentive to start chatting up your travel agent. Happy Travels!
