 Mayan Retreat
Even before the east begins to brighten; the roosters are crowing like
crazy. The roosters are crazy of course; all chickens are neurotic
messes. The crickets are cricketing and the east slowly begins to
brighten. Coffee is made, baths are taken, the car is packed and it's
goodbye time to the jungle.
But parting is such sweet sorrow. While the bug bites and dysentery
will not be missed, the pristine environment and many Maya friends
will. Neighbor's tears abound but alas there is an afternoon fight from
Cancun to Phoenix that simply cannot be missed. Besides, the jungle can
take care of itself and hopefully another hurricane won't hit. God
forbid, we lost so many big trees. |

 Machu Picchu Peru
The credited discoverer of the cite is Hiram Bingham, an archaeologist from the North America. The place was found in 1911 on top of a flat mountain, hidden from people's eyes. The unapproachable Machu Picchu is still a mystery, and the more they dig, the more riddles they find. The main question is: what was it aimed for? Why would Incas make so much effort to built their city at such an inaccessible place? |

 Southwest Chief
After spending a few days with family, we departed early one afternoon from Penn Central station in Baltimore. After a short trip to Washington D.C. we boarded the train that was to take us out to Chicago. By the first evening, we had traveled through West Virginia and into Ohio about the time we decided to settle down. We had figured on sleeping in the coach but soon found out that a dozen squealing kids and seats not made for sleeping wouldn't make for a fun trip. Fortunately there was one available, and we were quite relieved to spend the rest of the evening in our compact sleeping car watching the snow covered passing towns.< |

 St Anton - Austria And from dipping into this resource, I've been able to compile a concise list of ten ski resorts that 10 of our members endorse on their websites. The immense combined expertise these ski operators boast means that I, despite not being a huge winter sports buff, feel confident to take their word and promote these as AITO's favourites.
So here are AITO's top ski resorts, along with the companies that offered them superlative laden endorsement. Narrowing the list down to the 10 best ski resorts was a real challenge, given that AITO members offer over 175 between them! |
