If you dream of outdoor adventure, but don’t really want to rough it or wing it, then check out Nichols Expeditions. Don’t let the fact that they are based out of Moab, Utah deter you from thinking they don’t know about bicycling in Turkey or trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
Chuck and Judy Nichols are adventurers themselves and lead many of their own trips. This is how they can give such accurate information about all of their tours on their website. Nearly every detail of the expedition I enjoyed, The Baja Islands Odyssey, was exactly as they described it.

There is a lot of buzz for a new travel website called Dopplr; buzz is mainly coming from the “web 2.0 blogosphere”, if I may call it this way. Unfortunately, I am not able to give you a lot of details concerning the new website as I have not received an invitation yet. (my email can be found in the contact section of this blog).
What is dopplr?
“Dopplr is an online service for frequent travellers. It was created by an international team of world travellers as a tool for our own use. We liked it so much that we decided to open it up to our global friends. If you travel more than five times a year and have friends who do as well, then Dopplr is for you. How does Dopplr work? It lets you share your future travel plans with a group of trusted fellow travelers whom you have chosen. It also reminds you of friends and colleagues who live in the cities you’re planning to visit. You can use the service with your personal computer and mobile phone.”

Ski season is upon us and Northstar-At-Tahoe is gearing up for a stellar year for the snowbound. Let’s take a look at some of the updates the ski resort is implementing this year.
ON-MOUNTAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Northstar Resort’s snowmaking system will again see improvements, allowing the resort to have even more terrain available to guests in the early season. The resort will be able to cover more acreage with snowmaking, and will upgrade the system on Village Run, the trail that provides guests with direct access from mid-mountain to the Village at Northstar. In addition, the refill rate will be improved, allowing the snowmaking system to pump more water at a faster, more efficient rate.
