Yunnan Sheng Off the Beaten Path
Yunnan Sheng: See the real China in Yunnan See the real China in Yunnan by crewrower
When you travel in China, in places like Yunnan, you can see children like this. This boy was with his mates playing in the street with a couple car tires. They were just having a good old time the way kids anywhere in the world, in a real boy way. Not video games. Not TV. No manufactured toys. No playstations out here. No DVDs being sold form cardboard fruit boxes. Just out in his little neighborhood having fun. You sometimes have to go to... [read more]
Jasper National Park Things To Do
Jasper National Park: Columbia Icefields Columbia Icefields by spartan
Jasper National Park is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It doesn't get as much publicity as it's next door neighbor (Banff National Park) because it's more remote, but don't let that stop you from visiting. Less crowds, less expensive and much more to see are just some of the things that Jasper National Park has to offer...plus, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as the glacial jewel of the Rockies.

Two giants in the Travel World come together in beautiful harmony for the benefit of the travel community – and everyone else in the Universe!!!

We staffers at VT were jumping for joy as we recently welcomed the head honchos of our new business partner, TripAdvisor. The expertise of each site is so complimentary that how could we not be ecstatic with this marriage? We will remain two separate entities in friendly coopertition; but will be benefiting from everything that can enhance, but not take away, from the special qualities of each site. TripAdvisor loves the VT concept and community and wants it to remain essentially the same, except for the fact that we will now be able to implement projects that have been on hold (for a long, long time) in our pipeline.

Great things are coming – stay tuned, you won’t be disappointed!
