OAK BROOK, Ill.-
Most of us can't afford the $70,000 price tag on a 23-day trip being offered by the tour operator Abercrombie & Kent. The trip takes you around the globe on a private jet with 48 other travelers to visit nine world wonders.
But the itinerary is worth sharing, as it may inspire you to plan–or dream about–your own trip of a lifetime to see one or more of these marvels.
The "Nine World Wonders" itinerary is as follows:
–The pyramids of Tikal, in Guatemala, which are the remains of an ancient Mayan civilization.
–The giant stone monuments on Easter Island.
–Australia's Sydney Opera House, considered one of the most beautiful modern buildings in the world.
–The temples and ruins at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
–Shwedagon Pagoda in Burma, which is plated with solid gold, inlaid with jewels, and surrounded by woodcraft and mosaics.
–The Taj Mahal in India.
–Dubai, where mosques and traditional markets stand side by side with modern skyscrapers, hotels and malls.
–The ancient stone buildings and ruins in the "Lost City" of Petra, Jordan.
–The Pyramids of Egypt.
And for those who may be able to afford the trip, visit or call 800-554-7094.
