Customized Itineraries Perhaps you have been abroad before, not just once, but many times. Perhaps you haven't been abroad that much, but you are looking for a travel experience a little out of the ordinary and tailored to your individual interests. No matter what the reason, Above and Beyond Travel can suggest and tailor a special itinerary just for you. Take a look at the following example. If you can tell us exactly where it is, we will give you free gift on the next trip you book with us (even if you're going somewhere else). Case 1- a region in Europe - Charm plus History You are in an area of rolling farmlands and wide horizons. You've seen this before in Constable's paintings. In the picture perfect villages you find charming inns where you may hear a ghost tale or legend with your refreshment. Flintwork tower churches dot the landscape. One of them, built in the year Christopher Columbus found the New World, survived destruction by Cromwell's troops. Nearby, another glows with light on a knoll above the marshes at night, and welcomes the weary traveler. You'll visit other churches where you and the ducks and the photographers will compete for who has the most fun at the water splash. You'll find real antique shops (does the name "Lovejoy" ring a bell?), timber framed buildings, and an exhibition of the 700 years of the medieval woolen cloth industry. You'll visit the castle from which Queen Mary set out to seize the crown of England. You'll see the town invaded by the Romans in 43 AD and which served as the nation's capital until Boadicea burned it. Here you'll see the Roman wall and enjoy an old favorite Roman dish -- oysters! You'll see the church where the Magna Carta was signed. Visit one of the most renowned universities in the world, founded in the 13th century - walk through the grounds at evensong and be enchanted by the boys choir. You'll visit the town, an important seaport, where once an Abbey stood. Over the years the sea eroded the cliffs, and eventually the town and the Abbey crumbled and sank beneath the sea. It is said that the bells of the church which was the last to go can still be heard ringing in the deep. There are many tales of hauntings in this area. You'll visit the site of an annual Music Festival started by Benjamin Britten. You'll spend a relaxing vacation in a region which is a kaleidoscope of color. With its farmlands, villages, seaside resorts, pink thatched roof cottages, glorious gardens, nature reserves, and charming inns, it is one of Europe's best kept secrets. Can you guess the country and the region described here? If so, you can win a free gift when you book your next vacation. If you can't guess, that's OK. Just give us a call and we'll be happy to reveal the mystery to you. We've been there, as you can probably tell, and we know this region like the back of our hand. We think you might like it, too.
