Incredible Adventures
Sarasota, Florida
“The ultimate solution to mid-winter boredom, Incredible Adventures is a Florida-based extreme travel agency that has a special arrangement (don’t ask) with the people who design, build and test Russian MiGs. What that means for you is the Top Gun Package, a weeklong luxury vacation in Moscow that includes five trips in the MiG of your choice and a custom-made Russian flight suit. Take off at full burner, climb to 70,000 feet, do a 4g negative dive (ok, so you can’t do a 4g negative dive), and travel at more than twice the speed of sound.” (source: Urban Daddy, 2006)

Dolphin Dreams Travel
Boulder, Colorado, US
Nancy Kimbrough knows facilities worldwide that allow guests to touch, swim with, and even paint a T-shirt with, captive dolphins. Most of these facilities are strictly regulated, so she can recommend membership programs that give you a better shot at reservations. Said to be calming, therapeutic and great for kids with ADD. One of the most fun, exciting experiences you can have, in my opinion - with or without kids.

Windows on the Wild
Alaska
Until 200 years ago, Glacier Bay National Park was covered in 5,000ft of ice. The ice then receded, unveiling a ‘virgin’ landscape which was colonised with an abundance of flora and fauna - ‘all in the geological blink of an eye.’ The water, as you paddle in a kayak towards the receding glacier from Reid inlet, is toothpaste blue, filled with chunks of ice sculpted into exquisite shapes.” (Conde Nast Traveller 2005) I had to share this one with you - it’s at the top of my “to do” list. Please let me know, if you beat me to it, what it was like!
