COVER STORY: 2005 BEST TRIPS
THE HIGH ROAD
How's this for a deal: We dish a fresh list of 38 dream adventures; you choose one and go. Our picks include diving emerald seas in Mozambique, surfing the South Pacific's Tuamotu Archipelago, fly-fishing the Canadian Rockies, and exploring five South American countries via private plane. And that's just the beginning! Check out the rest and get ready to roll.
