Armenia

Mind-opening

"I would highly recommend a vacation in Armenia [pictured, an ancient Armenian church]. What a beautiful country. I used Adven Tour. They meet you at the airport and offer seven- and 14-day tours with lots of Christian history. The hospitality is great."

Adven Tour, 39 Pushkin St., Yerevan, Armenia, 375002; 011-374-10-53-9609, www.armeniaexplorer.com. Tours from around $1,000.

-- Robert Paul, Woodland Hills, Calif.


Australia

Forest backdrop

"We recently returned from a three-month trip to Australia. The Hawke Brook Chalets were our favorite stay. The chalets are on 40 acres adjacent to the majestic Karri Forest."

Hawke Brook Chalets, Hawke Road, Pemberton, Australia 6260; 011-61-8-9776-1188, www.hawkebrook.com.au. Doubles from $106.

-- Diane Zaepfel, Pasadena, Calif.

Where am I?

The French built this place before the Americans took it over. There are a couple of big lakes next door.
