Whether you want to catch some waves or explore famous World Heritage sites, this country has plenty to offer for tourists of all ages. Before you talk to your travel agent about booking a trip to Australia, take a look at these facts about this country:
The Top Travel Destinations Are All Over the Country You may want to see Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Great Barrier Reef, but these two destinations are on opposite ends of the country. To ensure you visit all of the attractions on your must-see list, speak to your travel agent about your top destinations and the best options for traveling from one part of the country to the other. Your travel agent can arrange your domestic flights, trains, buses, or cruises to ensure you see everything you want. The Country Is Filled with Different Landscapes and Animals From gorgeous beaches to vast deserts, you can see it all when you visit Australia. While some of the most famous attractions are in coastal cities like Sydney and Brisbane, the inland part of the country is home to Australia’s famous Outback. In terms of wildlife, more than 130 different species of marsupials, including kangaroos and koalas, call Australia home. You Need a Visa to Visit Even if you are only planning to stay a few short days in Australia, you still need to obtain a tourist visa in order to be granted entrance into the country. Most tourists from the U.S. who plan to stay for less than three months can apply online for an ETA (electronic travel authority) visa. Speak with your travel agent about which visa is appropriate for you. If you are ready to book your trip to Australia, call Brentwood Travel in St. Louis at (314) 439-5700.

Moms Take Daughters into Family Business As women increase role in commerce, the female dynasty gets less unusual. By Susan Sherman Fadem Globe-Democrat Staff Writer To a world long accustomed to sons following dads straight to the family business, a new phenomenon has been added: savvy daughters sharing budget proposals and clout with mom, the company president. At one time such female, corporate-style swapping would have been a rarity. Even a generation ago, it was unusual for many mothers to work outside the home, let alone run businesses where daughters' names could be added to the letterhead. But today, all that may be changing. With an all-time high of more than 50 percent of women in the labor force, Internal Revenue Service reports a record 2.8 million female-owned businesses. Women constitute the fastest growing group of new entrepreneurs in the county. Undoubtedly, some of those women are working with daughters, or planning to someday. Already, the mother-daughter business trend has some scratching their heads. "As far as I know, there's nothing about it in the literature because it's still so unusual," says Jayne Stake, associate professor of psychology at the University of Missouri - St. Louis.  Do you want to visit an exotic location for this year’s summer vacation? If so, consider taking a Mediterranean cruise.

 You called your travel agency. You booked your trip. You got your tickets. All that’s left to do is pack for your journey abroad. The excitement and anticipation that accompany an impending international vacation can often overshadow the importance of packing for it correctly. However, with a little planning, packing right for your international trip can be fast and easy. Don’t wait until the night before you leave to pack. Your travel agent can plan nearly every aspect of your vacation except for the packing, which is why you may be tempted to ignore it until the last minute. When traveling within the United States, this may not be an issue. However, packing for an international destination requires more planning, as you will need certain documents while abroad and may not be able to obtain certain toiletries and other necessities in other countries. To ensure that you can obtain and pack everything you need, finish packing your bags at least two days ahead of time. Figure out how many change of clothes you will need each day. One of the keys to stress-free international travel is packing lightly. When going through your packing inventory, consider how many times you may need to change your clothes in a given day. After doing the math, see which garments can coordinate with others and remove any items that cannot do double duty for both casual and formal occasions. This will cut down on the amount of baggage you bring. Remember to label your luggage. Your travel agency may have already advised you to label your luggage, and they’re right. In case your luggage gets lost at an airport or hotel, you want to make sure that whoever finds it can find you, too. Be sure to clearly label your name and contact information on both the exterior and interior of all your suitcases and bags. Brentwood Travel offers a wide range of travel options for those seeking luxury cruises, honeymoon trips, and all-inclusive resorts.
