Andrew has a remarkable passion for travel, combined with a love of sharing his innumerable experiences, making him the ideal person to look after your holiday requirements.&nbsp; Andrew explains a bit about himself and shares his top travel tips: </span><br /> It feels like yesterday, the memory is so clear &#8211; when one Christmas I got an illuminated World Globe. I remember walking into the darkened room and this brightly lit globe just &#8216;hypnotized&#8217; me, when the bright colours of the countries and the mesmerizing blue of the world&#8217;s oceans captured my imagination. But years later it was the actual experience of being immersed in all these very different cultures that blew me away. I have never tired of the excitement of arriving in a new&nbsp; country, enjoying the change of climate and always surprised by the diversity of&nbsp;each destination. To me travel is truly one of life&#8217;s essentials and I love to share my travel tales with anyone and everyone.</span> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt">I could never have imagined that years later I would get the chance to travel to 60 of these countries, many of them several times and thankfully still counting.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt">My top tips for memorable trips:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt">1/ I never really understood the &#8216;once in a lifetime&#8217; concept. If you choose your arrangements carefully and use the buying power of operators to get you the best value and top accommodation you can make every journey a &#8216;once in a lifetime&#8217; experience. I want every trip to be memorable which takes me to the next tip&#8230; </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt">2/ I like to suggest a few local experiences to ensure you remember the trip for the right reasons. Can you imagine how much it would add to your experience to catch a glimpse of the pomp and ceremony of a Royal birthday celebration in Bangkok, to look out over a lagoon in Bali on a moonlit night to see fishermen fishing by Tilley lamp or a behind the scenes tour of museums and chapels after hours? Stay in a mobile camp at the mouth of all the teaming wildebeest in the annual Great Migration in Kenya. Whatever your dream holiday is, I have lots of suggestions for unique experiences to make it special, whether it&#8217;s to spend an evening enjoying a barbeque with real cowboys and Indians, waken up in a cottage on the beach in the Caribbean with sunlight peeping through the wooden shutters of your room &#8211; or gasp at the hanging glacier reflected in the &#8216;mirror like&#8217; lake Louise &#8211; or watch colourful tropical fish playing in the coral reef below your water bungalow.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt">3/ Hindsight is a wonderful thing have you ever booked a trip and said if we were doing it again we wouldn&#8217;t &#8230;..&nbsp; why not use our experience to your advantage&nbsp; &#8211;</span></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0cm" type="disc"> <li style="color: #333333; tab-stops: list 36.0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt">We tailor each trip to suit each passenger not just one size fits all.</span></li> <li style="color: #333333; tab-stops: list 36.0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt">With years of experience we know our destinations inside out. </span></li> <li style="color: #333333; tab-stops: list 36.0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt">We plan not just a basic tour &#8211; but we can take you off the beaten track and show you the sights that are really worthwhile seeing.</span></li> <li style="color: #333333; tab-stops: list 36.0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt">We can choose the right accommodation for you.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt">So, whatever you have in mind, give me a call and let me expand your horizons!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt">You can contact Andrew on 028 9023 2112 or andrew@chakatravel.com</span></p> <div><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt">See more of our suggested tours at <a title="Tailor-made Holidays" href="http://www.chakatravel.com/Luxury-Tailor-Made-Holidays.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none">Tailor-made Holidays</span></a></span> <div><input id="image1" border="0" value="tailor-made tours" align="baseline" src="http://www.chakatravel.com/images/holiday-types/tailor-made/tours/KOOTWT_hiking_001-ed2.jpg" width="502" height="250" type="image" name="image1" /></div> </div> </p><p style='margin: 10px 0;'><strong>Mark and The Chaka Team</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td style='height: 14px;'></td></tr><tr><td colspan='2' style='background: #cac08f; color:#444; text-align: center;'><p style='margin: 15px 0;'>Chaka Travel, 98 University Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT7 1HE</p><p style='margin: 5px 0;'><a href='http://www.chakatravel.com' title='Chaka Travel website' style='color: #444;'>www.chakatravel.com</a> | 028 9023 2112 | enquiries@chakatravel.com</p><p style='margin: 15px 0;'><a href='http://www.chakatravel.com/Forward-Friend.aspx?newsletter=world-wide-apr-2011' title='Chaka Travel website' style='color: #444;'><img src='http://www.chakatravel.com/newsletter/images/button_forwardfriend.gif' alt='Forward to a Friend' width='119' height='46' hspace='0' border='0' align='baseline'></a><a href='http://www.facebook.com/chakatravel?v=wall' title='chaka travel facebook'><img src='http://www.chakatravel.com/newsletter/images/chaka-footer-02.gif' border='0' width='70' height='60' alt='Chaka Travel' style='margin: 0 0 -7px' /></a></p><p style='margin: 15px 0;'>You are subscribed as [Email] <a href='mailto:newsletter@chakatravel.com?subject=remove&body=remove:[email]'>click here</a> to unsubscribe</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan='2'><img src='http://www.chakatravel.com/newsletter/images/bottom-curve.gif' width='590' height='14' alt='' /></td></tr></table></body></html>
