SPECIALIST TRAVEL AGENTS or THE TRAVEL PROVIDERS?
This travel site is offering travelers the opportunity to find Specialist Travel Agents for either a destination or travel activity or the option to go directly to travel operators around the world with direct links to their websites.

The site does not have any advertising to distract the visitor from the objectives of the service and therefore does not entice you to linger but wants you to go efficiently to sites that are specific to your needs.

The design of the site represents a clean and simple style without any unnecessary clutter enabling easy links to destinations around the world and to other sites dedicated to last minute travel offers and South Pacific travel. This online news service is also part of the package and highlights specialist travel agents and travel operators who welcome direct dealings from the subscribers.

By offering both specialist travel agents and operator-direct services to the traveler, the site enables even the smallest travel business the opportunity to showcase their travel products and services and expand their reach, as well as giving travelers an array of travel choices that would not normally be readily available to them.

No bookings or reservations can be made here as it is only a travel directory but the consumer is now able to choose a specialist travel agent or may go direct to the hotel, b&b, tour operator or travel service.

The operators intend to keep the site free of advertising and clutter in order to support both the travel clients who are listed and linked and the traveler who wants to find relevant travel products rather than go through the searching processes of the internet.

There are many travel directories on the internet but this one does seem to have the clarity and ease of use compared to many of the other web sources for travel which seem to only want to attract search engines in order to earn revenue from advertising other services and affiliate click programs.

The site charges a nominal fee for listed links but now even the smallest travel business can be found and recognized, for a price, as a 'toptravelsite.'

The goals of the website are somewhat grandiose, to be every traveler's bookmark or favorite, but with over half a million page visits in the past year it could be worthwhile for the many thousands of small travel businesses around the world to consider becoming a 'toptravelsite' giving them access to a larger market of travelers seeking greater choices of travel expertise and services.

The original website has been involved in internet travel since 1995 but the current format was created in 2005. The site operators are pleased with the initial six months growth of between 200 to 300 travel clients representing a few thousand different travel choices and anticipate steady growth of the site by both travel visitors and travel operators in 2006 and beyond.

You can find out what is currently on offer by visiting the website.

A LIVING WILL......
A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer.

REFLECTIONS....
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
Don't take life too seriously; no one gets out alive.
I'm not a complete idiot; some parts are missing.


RV'ers must be a fun lot.....



LET SLEEPING DOGS......
A couple hadn't been getting along for years, so the husband thinks, "I'll buy my wife a cemetary plot for her birthday."
You can imagine her disappointment.
The next year, her birthday rolls around again and he doesn't give her anything.
She says, "Why didn't you get me a birthday present?'
He says, "Why should I? You didn't use what I got you last year."


oops!......



DEAR LORD.....
So far today I've been doing alright.....I have not gossiped, been greedy, grumpy, nasty or selfish or self-indulgent, I have not whined, complained, cursed and have not charged anything to my credit cards...But....
I will be getting out of bed in a minute and I think that very shortly I will really need your help....


You've gotta larf eh?
