Click to meet real people for real sex

Whether you’re James Bond, Jack Bauer, or Sydney Bristow – the life of a spy or government agent is bound to take you around the world chasing bad guys.

You can enjoy the same exotic destinations and exciting cities as your favourite secret agents without the dangers of the job. Gizelle Lau from Trip Atlas has rounded up the ten top places to discover and recreate the excitements of being a spy for a few days.

Miami – In Goldfinger (1964), Bond is found relaxing in Miami Beach, Florida – before South Beach was the hottest place to be, mind you – at the classic Fontainebleau hotel. Here, Auric Goldfinger is seen playing (and/or cheating) gin-rummy by the pool with the hotel’s iconic curved building behind.

Orient Express – The famous Orient Express is seen in From Russia With Love (1963) where Bond hops on the train from Venice to Istanbul via Bucharest, Budapest, and Vienna.

Italy – For the best from the Quantum of Solace (2008), head to Siena during the Palio di Siena horse race festival. Long before Daniel Craig was Bond, Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) was filmed as Bond in Costa Smeralda and stays at the Hotel Pitrizza.

London, England – Serving as homebase of M him/herself and MI6, this world-class city also serves as the backdrop for scenes in The World is Not Enough (1999) on a high-speed chase on the River Thames. In Dr. No (1962), the first Bond film opens at the exclusive casino, Les Ambassadeurs. To get dressed like Bond, head to Turnbull & Asser on Jermyn Street, tailors named in Fleming’s novels and helped to supply some of Bond’s wardrobe throughout the films.

Monaco – The Casino Monte Carlo in Monaco is the epitome of all-things James Bond: suave, luxurious, rich, beautiful women, and nice cars. Only in Monaco will you see a plethora of Ferraris, Bentleys, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Aston Martins and other high-end cars at ever turn. The casino was featured in Never Say Never (1983) as well as GoldenEye (1995).


Las Vegas – For a look at what Vegas used to be, Bond in Diamonds Are Forever (1971) is the perfect example. Here, Bond stays at the Tropicana Hotel, tracks down the bad guy at the Las Vegas Hilton (Whyte House Hotel in the film), tries his luck at the Riviera Hotel & Casino, catches a show and a girl at Circus Circus, and has a chase scene along Fremont Street where you can see the Golden Nugget in the background.

Bahamas – Not only does Sir Sean Connery himself own a property in the Bahamas, but many-a-Bond-film has also been shot here. Atlantis Resort and the One&Only Ocean Club served as the sets for major scenes in Casino Royale (2004), while the British Colonial Hilton in Nassau was used in both Thunderball (1965) and Never Say Never Again (1983). The Bahamas’ famous Junkanoo festival was also featured in Thunderball.

Jamaica – This island has served as home to Ian Fleming for some time and was featured in many of his novels and the first Bond film, Dr. No (1962) where they shot in Kingston Jamaica, Laughing Waters Beach in Ochos Rios, Dunn’s River Falls, the Blue Mountains, and Montego Bay. Live and Let Die (1973) was also filmed here, featuring the Green Grotto caves in Runaway Bay, used as Mr. Kananga’s lair; as well as Swaby’s Swamp Safari attraction where the famous alligator scene was filmed.

Thailand – Like all the best Bond villains, The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) features the devious three-nippled Scaramanga hiding out among the massive limestone rocks of Thailand. Scenes were filmed on the islands of Ko Khao Phing Kan and Ko Tapu near Phuket in the Phang-nga province.

Japan – Kirishima-Yaki National Park is where it all goes down in my personal Bond favourite: You Only Live Twice (1967). Not only is the villain’s lair so badass that it’s hidden in a volcanic crater – but Blofeld’s evil white cat alone could make your hair stand up.

No passport, no 18 to 24 hours in the air, less jetlag to contend with and still all the International flair of going abroad. Where is this place that sounds to good to be true, you guessed it New York.

The city that never sleeps, it is always busy, some times of the day it is just busier than others. This is not a weekend getaway place, because you would miss so much, unless of course you are part of jet set and are jetting in just for the opening of a play and that is your only function. But if you are making a vacation of it, plan on at least a week and even then you will have to really fine tune your time so you will be able to see everything you want to see.

Of course it goes with saying there is the Statue of Liberty, then the Manhattan Skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, Central Park and this list could go on and on. You decide what is important for you to see, make your list, make your reservation and head out everyday to see what makes this city an International theme park of its own.

Music, museums, entertainment, plays, theatre; New York has it all and all day and all night. You can follow the glitz of the rich and famous or the bohemian depending the district you visit. Get a map and follow the districts and neighborhoods, use public transportation and the subway and the real feel for New York. 

Rent a car and go "up state" see all the natural beauty that is up there, stay in a bed and breakfast and get the feel for laid back living that the New Yorkers crave to get away from the hustle and bustle of New York City. Up state is a world apart from the city, and it is a great place to visit, there are mountains, rivers, and gorgeous scenery. Then back to the city to finish your vacation on the high energy and visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ground Zero and all the history there.

New York City

New York is one of the most famous and popular cities in the world today. It is also referred to as the ‘Big Apple’. The city stands tall with its many impressive skyscrapers and statues. It has a unique fast paced atmosphere that shouldn’t be missed.

Travelling to New York

If you are travelling from outside the USA then flying is definitely the best option in terms of getting there. The city has three main airports named John F Kennedy Airport, La Guardia Airport, and Newark Airport. JFK is the main international airport. As the city is so big and popular it has excellent road networks and rail services, making all travelling options easy.

As you can imagine, New York has all kinds of accommodation that caters for a range of budgets. Many of the worlds most extravagant hotels can be found in New York. The most well known are The Crowne Plaza and The Four Seasons. For cheaper options try The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island as they all have quality hotels for less but are slightly further way from the centre.

History

During the seventeenth century, the Dutch settled in the area and traded fur. The region was later colonized by the British who names it New York. In the following couple of centuries, millions of immigrants moved to New York and began bringing masses of money to the burgeoning city.

Of course, the “Big Apple” has an allure that most U.S. cities simply do not have, yet most people cannot tell you what it is that is so magical and mysterious about NYC. One of the most enticing things about going to Manhattan is the idea of walking up and down Broadway and, of course, seeing a show or two. While some people go to Manhattan to see the museums and to go shopping, many travelers want to go in order to see what really happens on the “Great White Way.”

New York hotels are somewhat more expensive than hotels in the rest of the U.S., but most travelers going to the city are prepared to pay more for their accommodations. Most travelers, even those going to NYC for the first time, realize that finding a place to stay in the city can be a daunting task. On the other hand, finding affordable accommodations is possible, even in Manhattan. If there is an area of the city where you prefer to find your accommodations, it is still possible to find something on the more affordable end of the price range that is within that location.

There are plenty of large New York hotels that are situated near major attractions such as Broadway and Lincoln Center. These larger hotels are often listed at prices that match their high-end addresses in Manhattan. On the other hand, there are a few smaller establishments within this area of the city that offer rooms at much more affordable prices than the larger corporate names. The key to finding accommodations in these smaller establishments is to plan your trip early by choosing your dates and then searching online to choose your accommodations.

When it comes to finding accommodations in NYC, the option of sorting New York hotels according to their locations is an important one for a lot of travelers. If you would like to be near the theater district, you will notice that the big corporate hotels are very expensive. If you are trying to meet a specific travel budget, you will want to look for smaller, boutique hotels with fewer guestrooms and, in most cases, without an elevator. If these features sound okay to you, choosing one of the small, privately run establishments will help you to meet your set travel budget while letting you enjoy all that the city has to offer.

HotelBookingPro Travel at  http://hotels.hotelbookingpro.com/web/countries/united_states/ offers comprehensive searches for New York hotels. The website allows searches by price to find cheap hostels or more luxurious suites. A drop-down menu for lodgings near major landmarks narrows the search even further.
