The FT visits Manzanar in the Californian desert which was an internment camp for 10,000 Japanese Americans in World War 2.  In 1988 President Reagan gave each of the 60,000 (there were 9 other camps) remaining camp survivors $20,000 and a letter saying sorry. Now it seems there is little left of the camps and few tourists make the trek deep into the desert. Also in The FT, another Nile Cruise and the top ski guides in Europe.

In The Independent Wayne Hemmingway takes his wife and four children on a trip across India taking in Delhi, Calcutta and plenty between the two. Susan Griffith goes to Australia’s Northern Territory (the wonderfully named Kakadu National Park) and there’s a rather uninspired skiing piece on Klosters.

The main piece in the NY Times is on Cape Town, concentrating on the surrounding areas rather than the town itself. There is a feature on the upmarket Cap Maison in St. Lucia and a look at Francis Bacon’s Madrid, where he died at the age of 82. There’s a look at Vail Mountain Club, one of a number of ski clubs in the US that are modelling themselves on golf clubs. The joining fee is $275,000!

In the Telegraph there’s trekking in Bhutan, off-piste skiing in Val d’Isere and another piece about Twitter in travel.

Mark Hodson goes to Ko Pha- Ngan in The Times and likes it. There’s also the Greek island of Kea and Robert Elms visits Mexico City and then heads to the coast.

It’s beach holidays in the Guardian with Ireland, St. Tropez and the blue train in South Africa.

The FT clearly feels The City is still flush with cash and visits the super expensive Vamizi, a private island off Mozambique. There’s also skiing in “Tornado Alley” which consists of five small “ski hills” in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa and Missouri. Unless you live nearby, I can’t see  much point in doing it, other than to say you’ve done it. There’s also a piece about The Fontainebleu Hotel in Miami.

Times must be tougher in The Big Apple as the NYT searches for affordable Antigua and ten other Caribbean destinations. There’s also the east end of  London, where they attribute all the changes in the area over the last ten years to the 2012 Olympics.

If cruising is your thing, they’re afloat this week at the LA Times and The Australian, where they take a Nile Cruise and a 13 day, 1800km cruise from St. Petersberg to Moscow.

Over at The Guardian, there’s another Nile Cruise. There’s also Corsica, The US-Mexico border, Morocco,  Skiing in Kitzbuhel & St. Moritz,  The Bahamas, Tenerife, camping in Sydney and Hanif Kureshi writing about Hanif Kureshi (there’s a little bit about Venice).
