Trip 2 Earth.com

So I was thinking about traveling to Las Vegas to catch one of Lance Burton's shows, because you know, he's just an awesome magician (at least I think so, anyway) and I came across this site. It's awesome. It's so informative, and I had to blog about it. So here goes...

The site is called Trip2Earth.com. It's run by Attractions Wholesale Travel. It is waaaaaay ahead of its time. The developers of the site spent over a year in the design of the site, and it is actually the culmination of over two years of research, development, and conception. This site will revolutionize travel arrangements through the Internet.

So far, they have only launched three prime destinations, and many secondary destinations near those primary destinations. For instance, for their major Florida destination, Orlando, they have Trip2Orlandousa.com. The site also follows with trips to Tampa, Daytona Beach, Miami, Key West and other Florida destinations. For more details, check out Trip2Florida.com.

For Nevada, which was my destination, Las Vegas is the premier travel destination in Nevada, and is fully covered by Trip2Earth. Secondary destinations, Lake Tahoe and Reno, are also covered on the website with their own separate subdomains, complete with travel guides and accommodation information.

Eventually, I'm going to plan a trip to The Bahamas with my significant other, and lucky for me, Trip2Earth has all the information I need. Freeport is currently the location of choice on Trip2Earth, but Nassau and Paradise Island are soon to follow if their information page for The Islands of the Bahamas is any indication. Unlike Las Vegas and Orlando there isn't much of an event guide for Freeport. No one really goes to The Bahamas for parties or anything like that unless they are going for Spring Break or Junkanoo, which is sort of a mixture of Mardi Gras, New Year's, and Carnivale all rolled into one. When I go to The Bahamas I want to relax on a beach with an island drink next to me on a small table, and watch the sun set over the water. If I feel adventurous, I will go snorkeling in some of the clearest water in the world, or scuba diving through one of the world's top 5 largest reefs. If I'm in the mood for some shopping I'll head down to the International Bazaar in downtown Freeport. Trust me, heavy events and nightlife won't be the priority for that particular vacation. If I want that, I'll head to Miami, and not do the whole passport/international travel ordeal, but I want to live it up Island-style, so I'll do my relaxing in The Bahamas. However, if you do need to find events in The Bahamas, check out their Ministry of Tourism website.

With T2E I can look up my destination, book my hotel, get tickets to a show (or theme parks, if I'm in Orlando), get airfare and all that jazz, and basically do everything I need to do in one fell swoop. It's like one-stop shopping for all my travel needs! I love it! Though they've only just recently launched with three main destinations, over time, Trip2Earth will launch different locations complete with travel guides, hotel information, and some will even have event guides. Their information will not just cover the United States, but will extend to include global destinations as well. It is just a matter of time.
