If the idea of paradise is lying spread eagled on the beach, whilst basking in the sun with naked lesbians either side of you then the Greek island of Lesbos may well be the place for you.

Birth place of poet, teacher and randy bisexual Sappho, the island has been attracting gay women to its golden shores for well over 50 years. Lesbos, or Lesvos as it is also known is the third largest of the Greek islands and sits idyllically in the Aegean Sea, boasting stunning volcanic rocks, amazing, fresh water rivers, and more importantly, row upon row of continental muff.

Thailand is regarded as one of the most beautiful countries in the world. With its amazing climate and spectacular scenery it is easy to see why visitors fall in love with this modern day paradise and return year after year.

I had been on my way to visit friends in Australia when I decided to stop off in Thailand for a few days. After all there was no additional fee to the price of my ticket and it would be nice to break up the 24 hours flight to Sydney. I decided against Bangkok (the countries capital) instead heading to one of Thailand’s beautiful islands. In my case Koh Samui, on the south east of the country. The whether is generally gorgeous all year round but May, when I was travelling is recommended to be particularly nice.

If you've got a few spare pennies in the piggy bank, the 2007 New Orleans Mardi Gras runs from April 13-15. It's the premiere party of the year. A chance to enjoy life, party and have jolly good time. Irresistibly fun, vibrant and sassy, a chance to wear your most outrageous costumes!

Even now, it is still possible to get hotel accommodation for the event but you have to be quick! Hotels on the actual parade route are often cheaper because they're not in the French Quarter where most tourists insists on staying. So they're the best deal! Many mistakenly believe Mardi Gras parades occur only in the French Quarter. But remember, there are no guarantees, and a last minute trip needs to be thoroughly planned.
