Hawaii: Upcountry garden
Enchanting Floral
Gardens, 2505 Kula Highway, Kula, Maui 96790; (808) 878-2531, www.flowersofmaui.com. “Upcountry Maui is a world apart from the manicured coastal resorts. The drive to this eight-acre botanic garden on the slopes of Haleakala gives visitors a look at what locals consider the real Maui. More than 2,000 species of plants, all tended by the owner and his wife.”
Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission: $5.

Tanzania: Tour experts
Base Camp Tanzania, P.O. Box 568, Arusha; 011-255-27- 250-0393, www.basecamptanzania.com. “We climbed both Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru, followed by six days of safari. Our tour company, Base Camp Tanzania, was the greatest: local, personal, family run. They catered to our every need and charged a relatively modest price for outstanding service.”
