Where Should You Book Your Next Luxury Vacation Rental? Read This Book (Or Watch the TV Series)
January 27, 2007. We're excited to hear the Travel Channel will air a television series this spring based on the book "1,000 Places to See before You Die." Patricia Schultz's book inspires, entertains and informs, even for readers who aren't travelers.
Of course, everyone can disagree over which places were left out and which shouldn't have made the list. We just want to know how the TV hosts got such a sweet job!
"Selected from over 900 couples, Albin and Melanie Ulle, newlyweds from Colorado, were chosen to plan a fourteen-week, whirlwind journey to more than thirteen countries worldwide. …They agreed to leave their jobs and day-to-day life to travel the world experiencing its vast beauty and diverse cultures."
The show premieres Thursday, March 29, at 9 p.m. EST and continues every Thursday with premiere episodes through June. Each hour-long episode will take viewers to one of thirteen locations.
As a tribute to "1,000 Places to See before You Die," here are three picks from the TV series where you can rent luxury vacation rentals:
Alaska – We recommend making base camp in Anchorage, then taking the train ride through Alaska's Inside Passage, the railroad featured in the television show.
Mexico – We don't know exactly where in Mexico they'll be going, but we have a strong suspicion they'll visit Mayan ruins, like the ones in the state of Quintana Roo, also known as the home of the Mayan Riviera.
Hawaii – Schultz listed several of the Hawaiian islands in her book – which one will you visit?
