Though often simply considered India's tropical sister, Sri Lanka has a fascinating
culture and history all its own. Long known as Ceylon, it was a British crown
colony until 1948 and officially became Sri Lanka in 1972. Unlike in India, the
majority of Sri Lankans are Buddhist, and their devotion to the religion has resulted
in numerous beautiful landmarks around the country. Marco Polo was so impressed
with Sri Lanka that he declared it the most beautiful island of its size in the
world, and most visitors tend to agree. Costs valid through December 31, 2008;
