If you're after an adventure, don't forget about the upcoming
Total Solar Eclipse in China, on 22nd July 2009. It's being reported as the best this century, as totality lasts over 6 minutes in some places. I know there are a number of eclipse-chasers on IceInSpace, who already travel the world chasing the shadow of the Moon as it falls upon the Earth. From all reports, these are spectacular events - something you'll never forget and definitely worth making an effort to see.
Eclipse tours can be the best way to experience this event, as you get to combine the eclipse with a holiday and share it with others after that same experience.
SkyWings Travel is offering two tours to China that take in the Total Solar Eclipse on July 22 - they may be worth checking out if you're keen to let a tour company handle all the details for you.
