Adventure Travel via the Internet
If you've got a courageous spirit, you might want to try a little

sorts of high risk escapades simply by logging on to a computer. The
Savvy Traveler's Pippin Ross explores the growing trend of internet
adventure travel

you go a little deeper...underneath the city of lights...you could be

and it is, then at least you have the satisfaction of knowing you
were right."

We'll hear your stories of spring break vacations. And what do you do
in China if you don't know the box-step?
"One dancer smiled at us and, summoning all her English said,
'All China like this, we dance.' A tall elegant man appeared before
me, his arms out in silent invitation and I waltzed right into them."
