Five Ways to Keep Your New Year's Resolutions in 2008

From volunteering in the Andes to sailing the Greek islands, G.A.P Adventures offers fun and educational trips to help fulfill your resolutions

NEW YORK-Jan. 7, 2008-Many people begin the new year with promises of
personal change. Whether it's working less or exercising more, many
resolutions are made and broken within a period of a few weeks. G.A.P
Adventures, a world leader in adventure travel, offers five fun ways to help
keep your resolutions this year:

Exercise more-Cycle Vietnam. One of Asia's classic cycling journeys,
travelers will cycle from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh. With thousands of kilometers of
stunning beaches and beautiful coastal roads as well as fresh seafood, this
trip is physically exhilarating.

Learn something new-Travel to the Indian Pushkar Camel Festival (November
9-16, 2008) and witness one of India's largest and most colorful livestock and
religious festivals. Thousands of people from India flock to Pushkar during the
fair where around 50,000 camels are sold, decorated, shaved and raced.
After the festivities, relax in a 16th century castle and explore small villages.

Help others-Go on a volunteer trip. Spend half of your trip making a
difference in the lives of Peruvian street children and learn about rural life
from Inca Trail porters. Then head deep into the Andes and trek the Inca
Trail to Machu Picchu.

Relax more-Enjoy a Greek Islands sailing adventure. A yacht adventure is the
ideal way to experience what many consider some of the world's most
beautiful islands. Sail aboard G.A.P Adventures' 50-foot yachts with time for
hiking, snorkeling and relaxing. Explore ancient archaeological sites and
taverna-lined harbors, dine on fresh seafood and don't forget to try the Ouzo!

Spend more time with family-Travel with your loved ones onboard a 16-
person motor yacht to see the animals of the Galapagos Islands. Experience
San Cristobal, Española, Floreana and Santa Cruz in the comfort of a small
family group. Educational, fun and interesting for travelers of all ages, this is
the ultimate family wildlife adventure.

"In the spirit of starting the new year with a clean slate, we typically resolve
to leave our comfort zone and broaden ourselves physically, intellectually or
philanthropically," said Bruce Poon Tip, CEO of G.A.P Adventures. "To help our
travelers reach these goals, we are offering new experiences in 2008 that
push people to exceed their expectations, expand their limits and feed their
souls."
