Matt Lauer spent Day 5 of his "Where in the World is Matt Lauer?" tour in the tropical isles of The Seychelles. Not surprisingly, he's got the world wanting more. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Seychelle Islands have suddenly surged to the top of Google's most popular search terms.
Located in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are by no means convenient to get to, but the trip is well worth it. Here is Peter Greenberg's , Today's Travel Editor, take on the Seychelles' Islands:
No ocean looks quite like the Indian Ocean, and the sight of that magical green water is a wonderful and indelible memory. So is getting to the Republic of Seychelles. It's in the Indian Ocean, about 1,000 miles east of Kenya. The Seychelles is comprised of 115 islands, many of which have deserted beaches with untouched sand -- sand that is fine and white like talcum powder.
