The world's worst traffic jam occurs during the summer on the road from Paris to Toulouse, France. The 2000 record of 375 miles was well beaten in 2001 when holiday travelers jammed up the road for 411 miles.
It is estimated that by 2050, on average North Americans will travel 8,750 miles per year by car, which means they'll be driving about as much as they do now.

Travel the road to Mandalay by riverboat
Could there be a more exotic, untouched destination than Burma (modern day Myanmar)? Unlike its Asian neighbors, Burma has remained a largely agrarian society cut in half by the mighty Irrawady River, its major thoroughfare. With only one bridge spanning the river, the heartbeat of the country is truly on its riverbanks.
Totally refurbished this year is the Orient Express-owned riverboat The Road to Mandalay. Offering 3, 4 and 7-night itineraries along the Irrawady, this is a perfect addition to your exploration of Asia as well as a destination in itself. Begin and end your journey in Yangon (formerly Rangoon) at the lovely Orient Express hotel, Governor's Residence. Burma borders Thailand, Laos, India and China; and Bangkok serves as the gateway to Yangon. Shore excursions off the ship include Mandalay's holiest site, the magnificent Mahamuni Pagoda as well as the exploration of Bagan's holy plain by horse and cart to soak up the atmosphere. |
