January 2004 marks the 1st anniversary of our member newsletter and this magazine. We hope you enjoy the great travel articles and features we have in store for you in this, our anniversary issue.
Vietnam is the subject of our first outing this month. Larry Kingston brings us the sights and sounds of the northern city of Hanoi, before sailing into Ha Long Bay, "Where the Dragon Dived into the Sea".
In this month's guest article, Jon Morrow shows the humorous side of golf. We also examine a bizarre new sport known as zorbing, and take a look at the plight of Thailand's elephants.
Now that Christmas and Western New Year are behind us, what have we got for you to look forward to? Find out in our jam-packed Festivals and Events section. Finally, we bring you up to date with news of what's been happening both here in the Hotel Travel Network, and in the wider world of travel.
