Adventure vacations inspired by Indiana Jones

In the world of travel, it is impossible to keep up with the Joneses. No matter where you go and what you experience there, "they" have always been someplace more remote, did something more adventurous, and saw something far better than you.

Now, try to keep up with the Indiana Joneses!

On Friday, Expedia launched 10 Indiana Jones adventure vacations. Travelers can take a custom tour to 10 locations that either appeared in--or were inspired by--the Indy movies.

How do some of these sound to you?
  • Horseback riding in Petra, Jordan (like in "The Last Crusade")
  • Elephant safari in India (like in "Temple of Doom")
  • Visiting Incan ruins in Peru (like in the new movie, "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull")
I can tell you right now, they all sound great to me, even though I am not a huge packaged-vacation fan.

According to CCN Money, Expedia is also holding a Summer of Adventure Sweepstakes, offering an opportunity for site visitors to win travel prizes and daily giveaways. The contest will award one grand prize of two Indiana Joneses travel experiences for two; weekly prizes will include a family movie adventure to Southern California complete with Disneyland Resort Park Hopper tickets, a VIP visit to Universal Studios Hollywood, movie tickets to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and more.
