T'bilisi Restaurants
T'bilisi: fluffy seats and good food fluffy seats and good food by call_me_rhia
What a gorgeous restaurant, and if it had been for me i would have clumsily missed it... it's underground, but you can see the interior through tiny windows at street level. The celing in vaulted and made of red bricks, some frescoes can be seen on the walls, and the armchairs are covered in thich pillows... very comfy. Low tables, of course... with indian table-cloths. The menu was very extensive - mainly georgian, though. We had yummy grilled... [read more]
Alaska Things To Do
Alaska: Scenic Seward Scenic Seward by PA2AKgirl
From Anchorage, Seward is a day trip (125 miles/ 200 km) and any time of the year. We went down in the winter and while some of the larger activities were not available, it didn’t really matter. Seward is a very cute town and during the warmer months, a tourist attraction but still, not a trap by any means. The town reminds me of Sitka, directly on the water and surrounding by mountains. It’s also a fishing paradise with a quaint downtown. A... [read more]

AND THEY'RE OFF!!

MEET THE VT ADVENTURERS!!!


ant1606, frankcanfly, JohnSakura, Laurel914,

By the looks of this fantastic four, we know the trip will be fun and victorious!
YEA Team!!!

Watch for updates and be sure to cheer them on as they pass through your town.


If you haven't read up on this wild adventure across the Caucasus Mountains, go to Caucasian Challenge. It’s an exciting and whacky race starting in Budapest, Hungary on August 30 and concluding September 15 in Yerevan, Armenia. The team representing VirtualTourist will be handing out special picture cards as they meet members, and potential members, along the way. So, if you’re anywhere in the vicinity, you could cheer our group on as it crosses eleven countries on its way to the finish line. If you get a picture of the team as it passes by, we’ll send you a special VT gift.

We hope the new team carries on the tradition set by the victors of the Autorickshaw Challenge of 2008 led by our own General Manager, Giampiero Ambrosi.

The Caucasian Challenge and Autorickshaw Challenge is sponsored by the same charitable organization.

Charity starts at Home – in the UK

Yes, a couple of our charitable UK VT members, Deus_Ultima, from Northwich, Cheshire, and Kierk1, from Portstewart, Northern Ireland, both donate their time as Little League coaches. And now, due to their friendship on VT, are bringing their two teams together for a week of competition in Portstewart. August 5 through the 9th are the dates and will be particularly exciting since this will be the first time out of England for some of these Year 7 through Year 9 Cheshire students. Besides the travel being a life changing experience, the generosity of Kierk1’s team in donating equipment is the really special aspect of this wonderful event.

Thanks guys for being such a great example for a your groups of youngsters


Another tragedy hits one of our members

Death is inevitable; however, when the natural order of life changes its course, it makes the pain even greater. Member 6HARRYJAMESSR recently lost his beloved 31 year old son, Nathan. Nathan who is pictured and honored on his father’s pages, was proud of his Navajo heritage and culture and was adept in the American Indian Pow-wow Fancy Dance. He leaves behind a beautiful 11 year old daughter, Jayden.

We’re so sorry for your loss, Harry. Our thoughts are with you and your family. VT
