The Travel Abroad

Autumn has come. I want to go abroad again. When I traveled abroad, I got a better understanding of my own country.
A lot of information is sent to me from some travel agency every month. When I get it, I get eager to go to some unknown countries.
Every winter I have been abroad, because I don’t like the snow season in Akita. When the snow season comes, I have to make the travel plans. In February this year, I made a blunder by choosing to travel to Turkey for 15 days. The country is large, and the south side of Turkey was hot, but the north side of it was colder than Akita. One day the temperature was 20 degrees below zero, so when our bus was running at over 2,000 meters above sea level, the engine didn’t work for 40 minutes, and we shivered with cold in the bus. Maybe I never forget the accident.
Anyway, I have been recently looking to travel abroad this winter. My first criterion is hot country, my second criterion is that the tour must have a cruise, and the tour will be over two weeks. The most important that the expenses must remain within ooo yen.
