Gadling Take FIVE: Week of April 18-- April 24

When I read through Gadling posts each week, there's this potpourri of options. Jon Bowermaster has traded Antarctica for the Maldives, Tynan has been roughing it on a cruise ship and Mike has the scoop on the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. This week let's hone in on places one might not think of to head to for a good time.

This week ,Brenda finished up her series Cuba Libre series that highlighted what a traveler might experience in Cuba. Her take on traveling as a female is that be prepared for whistling and catcalls, but otherwise, she felt safe.

This post from Grant certainly caught my eye. He wants to know whether he should stop over in Algiers or Tripoli on his way from Paris to Dakar. Please let him know.When I did this flight, I went through Madrid and Cape Verde. I'm jealous Grant''s going to Dakar regardless of how he gets there.
Alison dropped a surprising bit of news. Turns out Four Corners where four U.S. states meet is a sham. Not on purpose, but the boundaries are off so the tourist attraction is not accurate.
There's yet another way to tour New York City. Annie has details about Gossip Girls tours where those who partake see where the TV series is set.
Tom''s post on art hotels in Orlando shows an aesthetic side of this city that is more commonly linked to Disney World.
In Egypt, there's another pyramid that will be open for visitors' soon. Kraig has the details about the Bent Pyramid that has been around for 4500 years but hasn't been a tourist option up until now.
