Yes! Anne can!

A few years ago when I was looking for a book to read during my holidays I came across a book written by Floortje Dessing. She is an Dutch television host, presenting programs about traveling. In this book she wrote about 25 routes around the world you can not miss. But the subject of the book doesn't really matter, (except that it's about traveling). The thing I want to talk about are the sites she's mentioning at the end of her book. And believe me they are amazing.
For example http://www.thebluefish.com/. Unfortunately the site is redecorating at the moment, but when I visited it some time ago it had a lot of exceptional packages for their customers. Some of them were:

A week as James Bond, with excursions like sleeping in the suites used for the movies, enemy evading speed boat training (a chase could easily be arranged)and a top-secret transport to Zhukovsky Air Base for flight training exercise in military jet (ranging from MIG 21 to the latest SU-30). Meanwhile you're traveling all around Europe. Or if you want something else you can also propose you're girlfriend during a Broadway show. All actors are part of the plot of course.


The description the blue fish is giving of themselves is also quite unusual. "Bluefish Concierge is not a gopher service, an old boy’s network or a snobby bunch of party crashing showoffs. Please don’t call us to pick up your dry cleaning; that is simply not what we do. Instead, we offer the highest level of personalized travel, transportation and entertainment-related services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes and other discerning individuals interested in living life to its fullest."

Or http://vocationvacations.com/, another extraordinary company. If you keep dreaming of a job as a dude rancher, wrestling commentator, make-up artist, wedding coordinator or an animal therapist this is the company for you. You name it and it's possible. Three days of one-on-one mentorship in your dream job. It's not cheap but you do get the chance to see what your dream job is like!

My favorite among the sites in the book is http://www.unusualhotelsoftheworld.com/ .

The site is about * surprise* unusual hotels! And when I say unusual I mean unusual. For example a lighthouse , an underwater hotel, a tree house ,a church or a hotel in the shape of a dog. In Sweden it's even possible to stay in a Silver mine, a 155 meter underground! My favorite is the lighthouse, especially because I read somewhere that they would bring breakfast to you in the mornings. I think it's amazing to wake up with a stunning view of the sea and some croissants.

"Holiday fast approaching and need urgent inspiration? Need to be on a plane like yesterday? Just fill in the form below and our panic specialists will contact you and ease the stress. Deep breaths. Help is at hand. " This is what happens when you hit the panic button at the site of http://www.blacktomato.co.uk/ .It's an English tour operator with a hip and modern website. They won several awards for being best/innovative travel website. Certainly interesting to check it out. They're also offering a lot of special packages.

I have to admit that none of these options are cheap. But you have to admit that they are unusual and amazing. At least I wish that I had the money to book a trip with them.
