I'm off in two weeks and am having a last minute worry about what to take with me. I'm doing some conservation work whilst i'm out there and also planning to go on a three day trek.

Anyone have any tips on what to take?

This is a good site - be a Smart Traveller

bring cloths hate sunblock and money

Bring condoms! Australians love Americans.

It depends where in Australia you are going. If your three day trek is in the NSW or Victorian mountains, you will need cold weather gear and be prepared for snow. If it is in the tropics, you will need a good hat and sunblock. Australia is a big place, bigger than the USA (without Alaska), and has a large range of climates.

My mother once gave me some very sensible advice when I was going through this exercise of last minute worrying - "It's a civilised place. If you forgot it you can buy it."

It makes travelling a little less worrying if you remember that.

Waterless cleansing wipes (for the face/body), sunblock, insect repellent, ziploc bags, bandanas (several), sunglasses, a good ventilated sun hat, travel underwear (hand wash/quick-dry), lip balm with sun protection, blister plasters, and tweezers.

Have fun!

Many visitors from the US and Europe arrive in June/July and are surprised to discover that it is both cold and wet here in the southern half of Australia at that time of year. Make sure you have some warm clothing, and something waterproof for your trekking, and she'll be apples.

We do have stores here, so you will be able to buy anything that you forget. Don't stress too much about what you pack, and enjoy your visit.

It is very important to check customs regulation in Australia. They are quite strict!

You can find the complete list here....

About a month ago I called a travel agency to book hotel and airline tickets. I received a confirmation for the airline but not the hotel. After I called her the travel agent said she would take care of it we do have reservations. I've been calling her for over a week and she is not returning my calls. I called the hotel and they are all booked with no reservations under my name. What rights do I have.? What is my next step?

Did they charge your credit card for both or just the airfare? If they airfare part is ok, either cancel the whole thing and dispute the credit card charge, or keep the airfare part and book the rest yourself. Obviously if that hotel is booked you need to find another one ASAP, probably on your own... then go to the BBB website and file a complaint there. Main thing is to get your trip booked. Travel companies are known for being idiots so do what you have to do. But really there's no reason to use travel agencies anymore.

We are trying to plan our honeymoon for this July. We live in Washington state, and really can't afford airfare to Mexico or we would be on our way, so we are thinking of going to Canada. We can drive there, and wouldn't have to pay for the pass ports. Does anyone know any great places in Canada to stay on the west coast side? A city or specific hotel would be great! Thanks for your help!

Do you want to go to Canada or just to B.C. -- it seems from your question it is the latter because driving to Alberta and beyond might strain the budget and driving time. But you already have in Washington State a beautiful seacoast and the breathtaking Cascades. But a few suggestions:

Victoria is a beautiful little city with nothing quite comparable to it in Washington State (or elsewhere in North America, for that matter). Vancouver is vibrant and thriving and can be compared in certain ways with Seattle (Vancouver's Gastown district and Seattle's Pioneer Square are practically interchangable) but is distinctive by cultural effects of its much greater Asian communities (south Asian as well as oriental Asian) as well as its libertarianism (it is almost impossible to get to Vancouver's downtown peninsula without traveling though at least part of its notorious near east side). The long finger lakes regions in B.C.'s Rocky Mountain valleys (Okanagan, Kootenay and Duncan) have nothing comparable in Washington State.

If you do choose to honeymoon in B.C. by all means enjoy the wines! B.C.s white wines are generally better than Washington's (some - such as Okanagan pinot gris - are among the best in the world); B.C's red wines are often not quite as good as Washington's best but many come close.

Banff and Lake Louise

...how about riding the Canadien Railway?

Take the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry and/or BC ferry.

It's like a less expensive less snooty cruise. You can take your car (If you like). You can get off at any port (and stay at a quaint B&B) then pick up the next ferry passing through. You can get a little birth with bed and washroom. You don't need a passport when travelling by land or sea. The scenery and wildlife are amazing. There are park rangers on board who give interesting lectures throughout the journey. You can design your own trip. You can get to little towns that the big cruise ships can't get to.

The Grand Canyon...

I went there with my husband on our honeymoon. We stayed in Kingman Arizona on historic Route 66, in a boutique hotel (the Brunswick). Then we went to the Grand Canyon the next day. We went to the west rim where they have just finished building the sky bridge on the Hualapai Reservation but you could also go to the North or South Rim. But the west rim is just as nice, maybe not so big.

Also the west rim is within driving distance to Las Vegas (where we got married). There is a lot to do in and around that area, aside from gambling. Best of luck and congratulations.

Vancouver's nice. It's been a while since I was there, so I'm not sure on hotels. If there's a Hilton or similar, at least you'd be familiar with the level of comfort to expect.

We have a cruise to Mexico for 6 days only 69 dollars and more to come.

Usually if you're booking to go to Cuba, they will offer an insurance policy to go along with your trip to Cuba.

Even if you are booking through the US (given that you have a travel license for Cuba), travel companies should offer insurance.

Which country are you booking from?

Certainly isn't the Canadian companies, by the way the Transat rep at Rio Luna advised us last year that there is a reciprocal arrangement betwen Canada and Cuba should a Canadian become ill in Cuba.

No idea, never had any problem getting insurance when I've been to Cuba, been 3 times and was there at Easter but got insurance with no problems.

As a US citizen it is illegal for us to visit Cuba, so an insurance company will not insure you.

They are probably USA owned.

I'm planning on leaving in late February and staying for about a year. If anyone has been on a working holiday there any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

many backpackers i have met, go to mildura, victoria and you can generally get work all year round. mostly fruit picking or packing.

bring a suit, your resume, 2 references, and register with an employment agency. Don't srrive in Sydney, then stayfor 12 months. Travel around!

Check out Perth in WA - it is supposed to be amazing (I leave in a week for WA)

bring ya drinking shoes. also make sure you head inland and experience the centre of the joint

I am considering to study BTEC First Diploma in Travel and Tourism (Level 2) course which includes work experience but is this enough to work for as a air hostess or maybe travel agency when after passing this course?

If not then please help me choose what the correct 'career pathway' it is to become a travel agency.

http://getinfo.iarin.com

you can get much information in this website, If you will check anyone blue link in website

Yes.

First lesson - don't call them "air hostesses" if you want to be one! They prefer to be known as cabin crew these days!

Your qualification would certainly help, though cabin crew selection is extremely competitive and qualifications are just a small part.

Your best entry into the travel business is to try and get a job with a High Street ABTA agent.

I am trying to plan my honeymoon, please help! We are planning a 18 days trip.

depends when you are planning the trip, maby if you could get cheap flights from Spain to london with webstie such as easyjet.co.uk or jet2.co.uk ryanair.co.uk, and zoomairlines.com theses are the good websites that i use

Have you considered Euro-Rail? You can go by train from Spain to France to Monaco, and fly to London. Must you travel in that order? It would be more economical to fly to Monaco (Monte Carlo), travel by train (using Euro-Rail tickets) travel to France, then Spain. Fly or take a ferry to London (actually to the nearest ocean port ), then travel by train to London. Do not forget the Chunnel between France and England. Euro-Rail tickets must be purchased in the states. I do not remember the cost of train tickets. You can buy a block of tickets for a certain starting date perhaps two weeks. The Euror-Rail ticket does not work in England.

Hi try booking with South African Airways.

http://ww2.flysaa.com/

The do service the Los Angeles-Lusake route. South African Airways is one of the best airlines in Africa.

You may also wish to compare with Ethiopian Airlines which is equally a good airline though in USA they only have Washington as their destination

All the best and remember to visit VICTORIA FALLS in Zambia, a visit to Zambia is incomplete without viewing the Mighty VICTORIA FALLS. Safe journey

Someone told me that I will need a travel sellers ID? Is it true? Do I get this on my own or if I'm going thru company that will provide me with the tools for a travel agency, is it still needed? How much does it cost?

You need a business license. http://homebizseo.com/50states/Florida.html You should also talk to SCORE and The Small Business Development Center for free advice.

Hi Curioust...,

If you’re serious about being your own boss, making an honest income commensurate with the effort you put forth. I have been working with a company for a while and have had great results. If you are interested contact me at allican57

This job can be done from just about anywhere, over the Internet, over the phone, or in person. F/T, P/T, Free Training, Low Investment, No Inventory

I have a website that’s just set-up for something just like that!

Let’s assume you know someone that’s going on a trip soon and you ask them to go to your website and click on the travel icon, which will link them to the TRAVELOCITY website that is the same price to everyone, everywhere. Through a partnership with TRAVELOCITY you will receive a 4% commission. This happens automatically with no paperwork on your part, whether they are a member or not. All you need to do is sit back and wait for a check from which shows up like clock-work in 30 days.

Thanks,

Wheels

You can start your own Travel Agency, just like Expedia, travelocity, orbitz, etc.... We use the same search engines as all of these companies do, the only difference is you make the money instead of those guys. You make 60-70% of commissions on all travel done through your site. If you want more info, e-mail me at brandon@jbtravelteam.com

Our company will be your support, you can also receive your credentials, all for under $500.00.

Check with your state.

I'd love to take my three small kids to Jamaica for two weeks next year but the travel agents are quoting £2,000+ each! Has anyone ever booked an all-inclusive holiday without using a travel agent? Does it work out cheaper? Any tips as I've never done this before?

Hi -

I was wondering if anyone can share some tips (travel, budgeting and running) for participation in Pamplona's annual running of the bulls. I really want to participate this year.

Thanks.

I second what Dart Swinger said. Those bulls are pretty fast for such big buggers.

As for budgeting, that's pretty difficult. My best recommendation is to find out how much everything should cost, then add another 25 - 50%.

In my youth, a lot of people used to just camp out on park benches. Don't know if the police will come and shoo you away.

There are plenty of inexpensive hostales and pensiones in any town in Spain, although what that means is no longer exactly "cheap". And you want to book ahead, as this is when everyone in the city makes their money for the year. Expect to pay higher prices for rooms for the Feria. I just checked one place (not far from the bull ring) and the same room which is 60 - 70 € any other time of the year is 250 + for high season. I would expect the Feria to be High Season.

Start at Si Spain website: Directorate General for Cultural Affairs at the Spanish Foreign Ministry.

http://www.sispain.org/english/index.html this is a good resource and starting point for any part of Spain.

I found a couple of other places to find Hostales:

http://destinia.com/hotels/hoteles-en-pamplona/navarra/espana/europa/2014/es

(was under cheap hotels - pamplona)

http://www.booking.com/city/es/pamplona.html?aid=301020;label=es|pamplona|lodging-pamplona|8860

(under hotels - Pamplona)

This is a great one, I'm sure. I got a lot of information from Madrid Man. He and his cohorts really know their stuff.

http://www.madridman.com/pamplona/hostalespamplona.html

Start with those, and do more searches. Search Pamplona, some of the lodging sites will ask for you to pick dates to get a quote. Half the fun is in the searching.

Also: expect that food and drink might be higher that week, as well. For living on a budget, don´t plan to eat whole dinners, have tapas and bocadillos. Don´t buy bottled water every time you sit down. In most parts of Spain, tap water is not only fine, it tastes great (however, don´t even bother in Barcelona, it tastes like....chemicals, I guess, sulphur, mostly). So you can just buy a bottle of water at the grocery store and fill it wherever you are when you run out. Some places even have fridges (although not so much in the hostales), so you can chill it overnight.

Sue had some great advice on lodging etc. If you haven't already booked a place to sleep, then you should do that NOW (or yesterday). Many places are booked 2 yrs in advance. In fact, some people even rent out their BALCONIES just to watch the running!! There is also bussing from other towns, so don't rule out the idea that you might have to book a hostal in a neighboring town and bus in each day.

As far as the actually running, my advice is to read ahead as much as you can about bull behavior. A fighting bull is not a standard cow and they behavior differently. There are many books that could give you some pointers: Running with the Bulls (Gray); Death and the Sun (Lewine); La Fiesta Brava (Conrad) are a few that come to mind. Hemingway also wrote several books with a bullfight theme, and he was a "regular" in Pamplona. Suerte, chico!

Be sure to run faster than the bulls. Try not to get killed.

I'm trying to plan my upcoming honeymoon to Ireland in late Sept/Early Oct 2009 from the US (California to be exact). Can anyone give me tips on how to find cheap airfare and places we should see while we are there?

Dundalk is the honeymoon capital of Ireland.

They do tours of celebrity houses. You can see The Corrs house while you're there.

I am going to give you the only piece of advice that was given to me for finding cheap travel deals, and it works to this day... Compare as many travel websites as you can as often as you can. Since you have a few months, start searching today and search the flights every week until the month before you are going. If anything is unusually cheaper, book it on that date. I would definitely recommend checking out BookMe. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites from one location, and save tons of money. Good luck!

As I am from N. Ireland I would suggest something out of the ordinary plus get to see and experience the beauty that is N. Ireland.

For that "different" experience - try here - you can book a double bath !!

http://www.soakseaweedbaths.co.uk/

general information on N. Ireland

http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/

AND

remember your Dollar goes a lot further against Sterling (N.Ireland) than the Euro (Republic of Ireland).

site for Republic of Ireland

http://www.discoverireland.com/gb/

For flights within Europe I use this as a guide.

http://www.skyscanner.net/

try www.aerlingus.com.. they have a sale on at the moment for flights to the US, so I presume they should have some from the US too...but I don't know if they go to California.

For trips and deals try discover Ireland, link below

If you land in Shannon spend a few days in Clare,and Galway, before heading off. Cork and Kerry are beautiful, but dont miss out on Dublin and Belfast too.

You're used to dry heat - make sure you bring warm clothes and a scarf and dress in layers. Ireland is damper than you're used to, and colder.

Go to www.discoverireland.ie to get an idea, and be prepared to stay in one area rather than haring all over the country - it may be small, but it's impossible to get around very fast unless you have a helicopter.

Does anyone know of a decent company to get travel insurance with? I am going to Australia for a year on a working holiday visa. Any idea of what I should look out for and how much I could expect to pay?

i came over here to Australia (and stayed) with a working holiday visa but, since im italian, Italy & australia have some sort of deal that i get the so called Medicare for free for 6 months. You should check that out too.

Search for it on web: Annual Single Trip Travel Insurance.

Make sure you are covered if you move address's etc, ensure all baggage is covered and just incase check out the excluded activities alot of companies will not cover you for personal injury if you are doing bar work so just double check it.

you will need to organise insurance in your own country before you leave

We will be traveling to Mendoza for a 1 week visit. Any tips regarding local travel, places to see, etc.

Head to nearby Cerro Aconcagua, it is the highest mountain in the Americas.

Assuming you are planning your trip to Mendoza because of it being the wine producing region of Argentina, you will be greatly appreciative of this location. It is much like the Napa Valley in California as you will see from the vineyards and how they are laid out. Many small wineries dot the countryside where you can stop and enjoy a selection of their vintners. Also, you can enjoy a sumptous lunch at some wineries if you plan ahead. Many excursions are available at reasonable prices. Argentina is becoming a world leader in production of excellent wines and you will be pleasantly surprised at their reasonable prices. I am from the Napa Valley and spend considerable time in Mendoza because it reminds me of home.

oh nice i used to live there.

its good. have fun!

visit as much as you can

How do I go about creating my own Travel Agency? I'm going to have a BS in Management, and would like to set up one, but not sure how.

You'll definitely need a good business plan. I recommend joining a professional association for travel agents and seeking out a mentor to help you "learn the ropes." Then, look up a professional writer to help you design a strong business plan.

I am getting married at the end of this coming September. My fiance and I would like to take a 2 week honeymoon (one week in Paris and one week in Rome). Would it be cheaper for us to book the trip ourseles, or go through a travel agent?

If you find a good travel agent that specializes in these places they should not be anymore expensive than a web shop or doing it yourself. Having a valued travel agent behind your travel plans is a GREAT piece of mind. They will know the best areas to stay, what you shouldn't miss, etc. I can say that as in all things, not all travel agents are the same. Find one you feel comortable with and confident in their expertise. remember they do this everyday. This is your honeymoon, focus on that, don't stress on travel plans.

50/50.

Best Power Search engine is www.EnglishRose.WorldVentures.com

One click searches over 200 travel websites.

Check it out for ideas.

Talk to the travel agents for advice. Make notes. Then go home, get on the internet and set your own travel arrangements. YOU can do everything they can do. They just have more experience than you. If you want a programed travel, where you follow the crowd, then they can help. You will enjoy it more by going to a hotel and loking at what's available and choosing your own travels. Don't get trapped into a package. some pacages are good; but allow yourselves time to do what YOU want to do. One or two days should be spent just relaxing and following your feet. Go to the places the tourists don't go. Ask the locals what they like. Been to many places and have found that it is much more fun and enjoyable to just hang loose and go. Make sure you have extra camera batteries before you go.

Self-booking is ALWAYS cheaper than using a travel agent. They have surcharges and get paid by companies to sell their services to you, so you're not always getting the best service or the best price.

For those destinations a travel agent, they can get you net prices from consolidators for you air, which is sold to you with a min. mark up, but it's better then a published fare which you will pay for online, they also have better access too hotels and any tours you may want to do.

Good luck, and congrats!

I'd check both - travel agents will have access to better discounted fares, but add their commission on top, so it really depends on how much commission they add.

You avoid the commission by self booking and may also find special offers.

A scrap book! hope this helps

Go and get them their own journal, and when you go someplace let them pick up one pamplet from there so they can put it in the book along with their thoughts of the place.

Bring a video camera with you over the vacation.

have them write in a journal....thats what they teach us in our outdoor education classes for teaching at my state college

There are many ways to record their holiday vacation.

Scrap books are really good and hands on.

Try getting them 35 mm film cameras, or get kid friendly digital cameras.

Have them write journal entries daily, in a seperate notebook, labelled Vacation.

Or try making them draw pictures.

Handy cam.

When I traveled cross America, I kept on of those composition books. Any picture I took I would record in it and describe what it was and why I took it. Also kept other info about what I liked or disliked about a place.

Hi there , i will be in Honkhong Agust 25 please tell me best travel tips and do you know any cheapest travel agency in Beijing or honkhong please tell me :)

I have never been to Hongkong.But I am familiar with Beijing.

Try to avoid travel agency,just buy air tickets and book hotels on your own. Remember the important sightseeings, go to destinations by subway or taxi.

Most educated young people can speak some English.You should speak english slowly and simply.

this is a great Q thats for posting ! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20060811012906AAWa4cu&kid=P6JGBWD9DTDub.C9905X&s=comm&date=2007-03-24+09%3A20%3A02&.crumb=

Well if you are going to Hong Kong dont forget to go the the Disney Park its one of the best attractions... and if you are planning to go to China from there most of the places like Ganzau etc does not require visa if traveling from Hong Kong.... Macau which is near Hong Kong is best if you are interested in gambling... With regards to travel agents just shop around at Kawloon for the best deal

please visit http://www.calltouristlink.net

1st you have to apply for Visa to go to China, it's quite easy and fast to get it, or you can ask your travel agency to apply it for you. A lot of travel agencies in Hong Kong offer cheap tour package and vary destinations (Beijing, Shanghai, shenzen etc). I don't know which one is the cheapest one but you can search on internet for cheap travel agencies in Hong Kong.

Famous, beautiful and full of Chinese presence places are Hangzhou and Suzhou. I have never been there before. But since I was a kid, I was hearing about them. There's a axiom saying Up there goes Heaven, down goes Suzhou and Hangzhou.

I don't know what exactly you are looking for.

How is the travel agency business these days? I have a interview with a travel agency for office work/ ticketing... However, how is the business these days? Do people buy tickets online mostly? or do most people go to direct travel agency to buy their tickets? If the direct travel agency's business is not going too well, I dont know if I should interview because chance of layoff..

I worked at a travel agency from Feb '07 - May '08 and things were really busy at first...we were slammed during the summer of '07. But this past year things slowed down A LOT. I was making nothing in commission anymore and I decided it was time to move on.

It's a good thing I did because they ended up closing down my store (along with about 40 other branches in the US) about a month and a half after I left.

Travel agencies are definitely hurting these days and the internet will eventually take over.

You could take the job just to get experience and some discounts on travel, but dont expect a lot of pay.

Unfortunately, there is a risk of layoff in any business. That's the US in the 21st century.

It depends on the type of agency and its business mix. Is the interview with a small, local agency or with a large company that relies primarily on corporate customers?

Contrary to what some people on this website will tell you, everyone does NOT use the Internet. Yes, it is quite popular and lots of people do use it. However, there are also many people who don't like using their credit cards on the Internet. Some people simply don't want to put in the time and work to book their own trips. They would rather have someone else do it for them. Also, the Internet works best for simple trips. It's not the best place to book tours or complex itineraries.

That being said, it's a very tough business for small agencies that specialize in leisure travel. Airlines no longer pay commissions and the Internet is faster and easier for simple itineraries.

You might want to ask the interviewer about their business mix (but don't admit why you want to know - you're just interested in the type of clientele and the type of work that you might be doing) . They may be doing okay if they are located in an affluent area and sell a lot of cruises and high-end tours. They might also be okay if they have a good base of corporate clients or, better yet, specialize in corporate clients. Corporate travel is not immune to recession, but it's less affected than vacation travel. And, corporations are less likely to use the Internet because of the loss of control over costs.

I wouldn't be in any hurry to work for an agency that is dependent on low-end vacation travelers. There is no money in that.

As another answer has noted, the pay is not great for entry-level positions. Benefits might also be sparse unless you get in with a larger company. Travel discounts are largely a joke. I stopped using airline discounts years ago and started buying nonrefundable tickets. They were cheaper and easier to get.

Good luck!

You might have heard some of the big giants in online travel agencies like expedia, kayak, cheapoair......... people don't go any where, they directly come to these sites and buy airline tickets.

Not up north (we will be coming from the north) and still in the US

Hi from France !

If you want to go far, try French Atlantic coast ( south) called : '' Pays Basque '', Biarritz city is very romantic for honeymoon .....Check out :

Have a nice sunday and safe journey,

Cat.

the pumpkin patch! lol! it seems good to me! have some pumpkin pie!

Try a cruise. I cruised on October a few years ago and Had the best weather. At least on a ship you can move away from hurricanes. On land ex. Dominican Republic or Mexico you are stuck. Have a great time.

The sea beach of Coxesbazar of Bangladesh. Or the the village of Chondraboti (an ancient women poet) near river Norsunda.

Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is a quaint Victorian town that is a well known honeymoon haven. The leaves are gorgeous at the end of October. I was just there for two weeks this fall. Stay at the Sycamore Cottage which is very private and facing the woods or the New Orleans Hotel downtown.

Key West Fl. or Hawaii

The Great Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg Tennessee is a good honeymoon destination anytime of year. You can get a chalet or cabin in the mountains with a fireplace and a jacuzzi. It's awesome! http://www.mountainchalets.com/default.aspx

Try Vegas. It is nice there. And whatever you do try to stay out of the Caribbean it is Hurricane Season.

Im 19 and my boyfriend and I don't have allot of money (a couple of hundred pounds at most). We need to get away from everyone and everything for a few days where its sunny (we both live in the UK). Was thinking of getting a cheap flight to Spain or America. I want to go somewhere easy going as it'll be our first holiday together abroad with out parents! What other things will I need to know?

Ok, I have been in your situation and it is possible. I would recommend, for your money that you stay inside Europe - any further and the flights will be too much. when do you want to go?

If you are planning your holidays I can recommend you this web: http://www.spain.info/UK/TourSpain

On it you will find a lot of information about what to do and what to visit according to your expectation.

Every Town have their own fiesta, and most of them are a Street party, so you can find a lot of fun, and not so expensive.

There is a list of the popular fiestas in Spain: http://www.spain.info/UK/TourSpain/Reportajes/0/UK+Popular+festivals+2006.htm?SubSys=Fiesta&language=EN

I recommend you any place in the Spain coast.

Fly to Washington DC or New York in the US. If you want to go to Spain, go to Ibiza... It's BEAUTIFUL! I would recommend checking out BookMe dot com. You can compare ALL the reputable travel sites, and save money. Good luck!

I want to travel in Lhasa by train . Can anyone give me some travel tips? I just know a little information by http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/list/List_2010_1.Html .Thank you very much!

This website http://www.seat61.com/China.htm#Lhasa%20&%20Tibet is very useful. Best tip I can give is "best not to mention the illegal occupation of Tibet by China".

You might want to see your doctor about getting some altitude sickness pills. Don't exert yourself, especially for the first few days.

I am planning a trip to europe before the year ends. can you recommend the best travel agency in manila.

I am Egyptian,getting married in December, want to spend my honeymoon in Malaysia for a week. I need to know the best package for that including tickets (departure/Cairo).

I must return back to Cairo in January (any day during the first week).

I just need a good hotel to stay in with a good price around $150 per person.

Thank you

Hi, I am Egyptian and I also went to the far east during my honey moon. Malaysia is amazing so go for it, but I would advise you to select another destination instead of Singapore. It is a big city, very expensive and not much to do nor see. Not very romantic too.

My recommendation is Bali, anyways it is up to you. As for the tavel agents:

i went on Singapore airlines on my honey moon, not the cheapest but that's all i know, Malysia is great i was in Langkawi in a Hotel named The Lanaii. much cheaper than 150$, i cant remember how much now.

and fozio, i was in Singapore and i wonder why you didn't like it much really because it is marvellous and has many things to do in there. there is the zoo (which is terrific) and the sentosa island shows and cable car. yes it is very expensive, but it won't be that costy if you don't do shopping you know!

cheers

Congratulations,I used to work on a travel agency,so I know that such offers are availbe on summer more also better prices so since you cant change your travel date,they will arrange you private arrangment so you better check with the malysia Airlines they are located on the nile hilton,or you may check with Traveco tours,all phone numbers you need you can fetch for it on 140

GOOD LUCk

Is anyone influenced by movies in terms of where they travel to on vacation? I asked this question before and got some great answers. Would love to hear people's thoughts and opinions on this.

I also have a forum blog on film tourism for anyone that is interested at: http://mediatourism.blogspot.com/

Yes, I saw the movie Local Hero in a theater in a mall. After the movie, I went to the American Express travel agency in the mall and bought a ticket to Scotland.

I'm going to Morrocco this summer because of the film Hidious Kinky with Kate Winslet! Good question..I want to see the other answers too :)

Went to New Zealand but not cos of Lord of the Rings but if you were to it is really the most beautiful country!

I am a 22 yr old indian girl from Boston; staying over in London for about 4 days near Heathrow airport during October. Can anyone suggest any travel tips apt during the month of october; must see places of interest; commuting buses; less expensive restaurants. I am a high energy person; like to walk places; boating; nature trails; shopping centers. Any nice indian restaurants? I appreciate any good suggestions. Thanks!

For travelling around, buy an Oyster card it's cheaper than paying single fares on London transport,if u pay by cash they charge double.

Take a trip to the Thames and take in some art at Tate Modern,it's free,also. London is full of Indian restaurants,most of which are fairly priced.Hope you have fun,London is fantastic.

I went to London last year and went to a few pretty cool places. The London Dungeon is a fun place. It is London's hunted house but it is nothing like a haunted house in the US. It isn't very scary but it is very interesting because it is basically a walkthrough of all the lives of the masmurderers back in the old days. It has a lot of history. The Tower of London is a must. It is huge castle grounds that have many old time buildings still in tact. It is great for a walker lover because there are so many places to walk to and explore. I thought it was also really neat because it is still set up like the old days. There is also a huge strip of shopping stores and malls that I cannot remember the name of but it is downtown and just ask someone once you get there because everyone knows where they are. Also some words of advice...you are going to have to take the subway a lot to get to places and it is a good idea to keep your money on the inside pocket of a jacket or something because people will "bump" you on the tramway and steal your money. They love the tourists lol But I had a wonderful time and there is definatley a lot to do and a lot of walking around envolved. Just ask someone Have a good time

Glad you like to walk because there is plenty to walk around to. Buckingham palace, london bridge, its a long strip and town centers with lots of shopping. If you can catch the changing of the guards, thats quite interesting. Nice little military show.

OH but remember to watch your pockets. Biggest crime is pick pockets. I carry all my stuff in a back pack with the zippers locked and both straps on my shoulders.

Have fun and I have to admit I am a little jealous. I miss my native land. Don't forget your coat!!

Take Care!

Is that Indian as in what English would call Indian, that is originating from the country of India, Or Asian, as we would call people from the Asian sub continent such as Indians and Pakistanis, or Asian in the American meaning of Eastern/Oriental people. Or Indians as in the American cowboys and indians? Please advise

Judging by the racist lot in here, who feels like they've lost their "british identity", i would stay indoors...

Sorry to disappoint, but there's no way you're going to find a nature trail near Heathrow airport.

My friend's mom is planning to go to Los Angeles, California (from Manila, Philippines) anytime soon and will stay there until March 25, 2008. Preferred departure day is Sunday.

Her budget is $1,000 and below. So if you know any travel agency with this rate, please let me know.

Thanks! ^_^

It's not the agency that sets the fare, it's the airlines. You can do some searches on places like tripadvisor.com that will search mutiple websites for fares.

If you search for a departure at least 14 days away, you can get a much better fare.However, it will be very close.

Was that $1,000 for the flight, or the whole trip?

What place would you love to go for a honeymoon or where have you been? It could be anywhere.

Aruba. It is constantly 85 degrees but not hot because of the constant breeze. It NEVER rains (a plus on a honeymoon) and it's out of the hurricane area so no worries of hurricanes striking during one of the most important times of your life.

It's very safe. I have vacationed solo there and would do so again. It was the best vacation with the beach, sand, constant great weather, friendly islanders and beautiful natural scenery.

If you're into it you can even rent a car or a jeep. If you get a jeep you can go to all the places like the caverns etc and renting a vehicle is cheaper in Aruba then in the USA!

Ireland. The scenery is beautiful. The people are friendly. The culture is fascinating. You'd have great memories.

We're going to France and Switzerland, which I'm uber-excited about, but I would also like to go to Brazil. Maybe that will be our second honeymoon!

Belize IT! There is snorkeling, scuba diving, and sight seeing. Plus its a very romantic place to be!

CABO SAN LUCAS!!! LOL I'm sorry but we just fell in love with that place. Me and my hubby got married last april and went to cabo san lucas for a week. It was one of the best times i've had. It was sooo hot, but beautiful and the people there were so nice oh and the food was so fing awesome!! We spent i believe $3.000 for everything (plane, hotel, food, souveniors) We are constantly talking about going back. If you go i suggest Marbella suites. It was so nice and only a few feet from the ocean. Sorry i got all excited

I have been to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands....it was VERY beautiful.

I am from NJ and currently live in Hawaii due to my husband's military obligations. However in FEBRUARY we were married and still did a complete honeymoon to HAWAII - I recommend one of Norweigen Cruise Lines www.ncl.com Hawaiian cruises - the boat is a blast, and the food is terriffic (such a variety), Plus you get to the big island, Maui, and Kaui you can see all the beautiful scenery and do an activity on each island without having to 'CHOOSE' if you just fly to one island. let me know if you'd like more details.

mcdonalds!!!! theres ur 5star resturant

I would go to Hawaii very nice. I love the water and sun!

Hawaii. It's not original, but has a special meaning for the both of us. Hawaii and the Hawaiian culture kind of plays a roll in both of our lives.

Me and my fiance are trying to plan a trip to Thailand for our honeymoon. We both love asian culture and Thailand is so pretty. (And even though the flight is expensive, everything is MUCH cheaper once you get there!)

I would love to go on a cruise or to tahiti or hawaii

For a honeymoon I would love go to Thailand or a Pacific Island, or to South Africa on a safari. My boyfriend would really like to go to New Zealand.

One of the best places I've recently been that would make a great honeymoon spot is Costa Rica. It's rather affordable and there is tons of different stuff to do--or just enjoy the view.

The holiday was going to be in march 2008, The cost of the holiday was around £600, I paid £120 off, then each week I would pay more in. Unfortunately I had to cancel the holiday, I had to pay the travel agents another £80 for this to be done. Is this right.

Sure ....if you backed out the agent sill gets paid...not their fault. Get trip insurance next time.

Most likely you had to pay some hefty fees for canceling so close to the departure date.

Hi, Yes they charge a cancelation fee. A few years ago i had to cancell my husband off my holiday (he had the chance to go and train with the American Army) and it was an offer he could not refuse a chance in a lifetime. The travel agent charged me £60.

hey yes this is the way it is! it totally sucks eh! its forthe admin work that they have done etc...

Most travel agents do charge some sort of a Cxl fee.. This is usually sat up by the TA to cover the cost of the hours spent on makeing the plans and such since they are going to be losing the commission off of the completed trip. Usually this amount is no where near what they would have made if you would have completed your trip..But it usually is a large amount of money.. (But not all TA charges a fee, I never have)

yes, it's right because once they're booked and ticketed, any changes will cost them service fees. it's an airline policy that travel agents need to be aware of. because what happened there is the once ticketed, the seat is mark as sold. and other passengers cannot purchase any ticket once the flight is sold out.

If you have a good reason for cancelling you should be able to claim through travel insurance

Hello,

I'm leaving the US for the first time, going to Mexico (Mazatlan) for a week. Can anyone give me any tips or hints about travelling internationally in general and travelling to Mexico or Mazatlan specifically?

Learn to say "please" and "thank you" in Spanish.

Make a copy of your passport and keep it in a safe place, separate from your actual passport.

Register with the nearest consulate so they don't have to come looking for you (travel.state.gov).

Don't drink the water.

Read as much as you can about the place before you go.

Don't do illegal things -- you will go to jail in Mexico and will not get out just because you're an American.

Consider buying travel insurance in case your trip is canceled and evacuation insurance in case you get hurt.

Practice safe sex.

Mazatlan has a thriving drug traffic. Don't get into anything shady.

Wear sun screen.

Have fun!

i don't want to scare u. but Mexico is notorious for crocked cops and kidnappings. and Americans are a favorite dish. that is one place i would never go! and i tell u i am very opened minded!! also i am of puerto rican desent so i speak perfect spanish, and read it fine but write it only ok. still u wont catch my butt in mexico. plus i am like freaking candy to there men (lol). really i wish u a safe trip. have a good time.

check out this site Nomad Wannabe

www.nomadwannabe.com

It has some information on Mexico.

I've been to Mazatland and it's quite nice. Don't drink the water, or ice unless it's in a touristy place. Get some shots for certain diseases, be prepared to bargain, don't wear expensive stuff or flaunt it off.

Learn some spanish. Don't drink the water. Be careful of people trying to sell you bottled water. Make sure the bottle is sealed all of the way. Don't bring that much cash on you. There are pick pockets. Take lots of pictures and have fun.

I am not trying to be fun, but watch what you eat beacuase you can easily get tapeworms or something.

I am going to buy a running travel agency in london. i am interested to know how much the goodwill should be. secondly it has agency of emirates air line as, after purchasing that business can i sale tickets outside of uk or for people who are not in uk and want to travel elsewhere apart from uk.

Assalamalaykum Mr. Rashid, i am an IATA professional working for marine travel trade (MNC) in India. we are working from India and have client all over world. most of the airline have become electronic ticketable, hence passenger need not to purchase any paper ticket. you just need to issue electronic ticket from your side and pass the booking refernce or etkt numner to passenger. And they can proceed to the check in desk .

regarding invest ment- no idea

We're pretty comfortable with the international travel (airports, passports, etc). It's more finding good, safe places to eat and getting around Puerto Vallarta safely.

*** Take your ATM Bank card. You will get funds in Pesos and get the best rate from your bank.

I have been travelling to Mazatlan for the past 25 years and have no trouble findng safe places to eat, inlcuding places where mainly locals eat. Restaurants that are catering to tourists will not try and make you sick by serving non-purified water. We eat salads, iced drinks - no problema man!

If you are really concerned there is an oral vaccine "Dukulor" which must be taken one week apart, starting 2 weeks before travel date. Requires a prescription from your doctor,

Eric

Just feel free to drink the water in Vallarta.

All ice cubes in restaurants are made with the best quality of water.

Puerto Vallarta is one of the two cities with certification for PURE and SECURE water for international standards. (the other one is Cancun).

Also, Puerto Vallarta is the second Gourmet City destination of Mexico. (the first one is Mexico City).

Puerto Vallarta takes good care of the customers and tourists. we do not need bad publicity. I live in Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta is one of the most safe cities of Mexico, as I said before, we do not need bad publicity, so feel free to walk all over at any time at night.

Be sure to get a magazine called Vallarta Lifestyles when you get here. There is all information about restaurants and good eating places in Vallarta. It is a pleasure to be in Vallarta, just for the fact of eating reall good.

If you want personal recomnendations you can contact me. I live here for 35 years and I love eating good.

Best trip.

Taking buses around town is easy and cheap. If you take taxis, settle on the price before getting in. Prices in town are higher when a cruise ship is docked. La Clif (The Cliff) at the southern end of town is a beautiful, memorable restaurant, perfect to go to while on your honeymoon. It's on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Perfect at sunset. You'll need to make reservations. The brunch (I think Sundays?) at the Sheraton Bouganvillas is awesome! Have a wonderful honeymoon and enjoy Puerto Vallarta!

Puerto Vallarta is a beautiful place and most of the hotels and restaurants have purified drinking water. I would ask first. There is an excellent restaurant that the locals go to that is on top of a mountain that has great food and a fabulous view, called Aye Carumba. Ask your hotel or any taxi driver. We stayed in Nuevo Vallarta when we went which is not far, the newer area. You may want to try one of the restaurants over there. They have a couple outside restaurants that are real good. Have a wonderful time and congratulations.

Watch out for those little roadside eating shacks unless you see many locals also eating there. Don't brush your teeth with the local water too. Pass on the ice in the drinks unless it's well water. 1 final warning; It always seem the Mexico Sun Gods prey victims on light color skins. US dollars are widely accepted everywhere in PV but pesos are nice for tips, bargaining, and general use as well.

Hi

every where they accept US currency.

but it will be better to convert your money into pesos, just go inside any bank and they will give u a better rate.

have fun.

Do I need any special training or certification to start a travel agency in California?

Before you do so, be aware that being a travel agent is no longer a big profit-making profession. Many travelers make their own reservations, plus the airlines don't pay commissions like they used to. According to some articles I've read, the folks who continue in business focus on detailed vacation planning for a limited number of established customers.

Sorry that I can't answer the part about certification in California. I do know that some community colleges offer certificate programs in travel planning--you might want to look at the website for the closest community college to where you live.

Also, check out this article:

http://www.hometravelagency.com/travel-agent-license.html

You can get great deals online, but sometimes travel agents just know where to go. Also, does it cost extra to use a travel agent?

Unless you already have an idea on where you want to go, what sort of facilities you want, how much you want to spend, I would go through a travel agent. The travel agent will be able to narrow down the possibilities and find the perfect spot for you.

Travel agencies are not always more expensive than online. They sometimes do have a fee, but it will be incorporated in the total package and will probably only be $50 or so. Travel agencies also have access to bulk packages that are not always available online.

Going through a travel agency will also be one less thing you need to stress yourself over while preparing for the big day. Why add more stress on yourself, when you can get someone else to do all the hardwork for you and for a price that is not that much greater than online? :)

I would get my deal online (shop around before making a purchase) after TALKING to a travel agent (you don't have to book anything right away right?) about where you'd like to go & what they suggest, and you could even post ?? on yahoo! answers to get feedback from readers on where you have in mind, etc ...

Talking to a travel agent, especially some reputed company, always helps. They can help get better deals due to what is commonly called 'bulk rates' in the travel industry and can guide you better about a destination and budget. It doesnt cost more to use a travel agent though some companies might levy a nominal service charge...which will usually be built into the cost of the package and you wont even notice the difference.

no you plan it go to www.vrbo.com and rent owner direct you will love it

Check out this website...

This site has a vacation package that includes approximately 30 vacations + extra bonuses for $995. Then you can choose which vacation you want to use for your honeymoon and save the rest for your anniversaries or other occassions.

HI,

IM planning to travel from melbourne to darwin through alice springs after xmas, just wondering if anyone has any tips for us including safety tips!!

For those long distances, make sure your spare tyre is checked and ready to use. Ensure you have a spare fuel can (distances between fuel stops mean a very long walk between stations) for backup. Don't forget to take water too. Remember to take regular breaks when driving. Watch out for road trains (trucks with 3 or more trailers) and be careful if you try to pass them (they can snake along the width of the road lane). Ensure your care has a mechanical checkup before you go. Take extra care when driving around dusk or dawn. This is when your are most likely to encounter Kangaroos on the road.

Lindsay and cc of oz have both given excellent answers.

I would also suggest carrying extra water ~ one container specifically for use in the car, and another (kept separately) for drinking. Another good thing to have is a Cancer Council recommended hat (link below). These make a HUGE difference when sight seeing in hot regions.

It is also wise to advise someone of the route of your trip and your expected date of arrival / departure.

Having a functioning mobile phone which you can charge from the car battery (usually via the cigarette lighter) and which will work in remote areas is also essential.

If you DO have a breakdown, do not leave your car and wander away. Stay with your vehicle and wait for a passing vehicle.

Cars have been found abandoned with their former occupants dead or dying from dehydration just a few kilometres away, due to the high temperatures. If you are on the road, another vehicle will eventually come along. Spend your time organising shade, instead!

Apart from that, do try to sleep under the open sky at least one night ... it is truly amazing! Many people simply drive through the desert as if it was just a throughway to somewhere else, but it is an incredible destination on its own.

Take some time to stop, look at wildflowers, the horizon and the land around. If you stick to well travelled routes and take careful note of where you are going (wandering aimlessly is not a good idea!) you should be safe enough.

Some more great tips in the links below.

Best wishes and have a great trip :-)

I am from Melbourne and I am just back from Alice Springs. Keep in mind it is wet season then. Some roads were flooded/impassible even last week. I would recommend a 4WD with a snorkel, a winch, a bull-bar, a satelite phone or 2 way radio, plenty of water, food, spare tyres etc. Keep an ear out for weather reports (floods/cyclones/lightening).

The best thing I did in Alice Springs was go quad-biking on a giant cattle station - stunning scenery and great fun.

Watch out for kangaroos/bulls/camels/donkeys etc. crossing the road. Don't drive onto Aboriginal lands without permission. Pack a first aid kit, sunscreen and insect repellent. Don't swim with saltwater crocs (Darwin). Have a great time!

Yes, get a really good guide book!!! Lonely Planet is good. It has all the tips you need, including what to pack, accommodation and eating recommendations, site seeing stuff, recommended tours, historical info, an excellent rating system, info on local culture, night life, basically everything you want to know... what to do about money, general tips, security, etc. And it's all from a fresh, youthful perspective.

I haven't done the trip, but have done a lot of out of the way driving. Make sure your car has airconditioning!!! Alice hit 43oC the other day. Always carry lots of water with you (for yourself and the car). A trip like that I'd be thinking more about the car's condition ... take 2 spare tires, extra oil, check your airfilter. You don't want something thats easily fixable to go wrong in the middle of nowhere in that heat! Keep your phone charged.

All of these answers are brilliant. I would just like to add, if it is financially possible, that you get a satellite phone and or GPS system. You are going into some very remote places and its better to be safe than sorry. And on a personal note a digital camera. The scenery you are going to encounter is spectacular! Have fun, stay safe.

Take a caravan and a compass.

Hi, I was wondering what are the aspects you count with when you are planning a trip anywhere and it comes to choose a web based travel agency. What aspects should I take care of? Thx!

If you need only air fare, rental cars, hotels, or a cruise, I would strongly suggest using a meta-search engine web site. There are only a few of those type web sites. These meta-search sites are unique because it will go out and check many different web sites all at once. It will then display a listing of the web sites in which it found the lowest price, and you can then click and go to that site for booking.

These are fairly new type web sites and growing in popularity. These sites are www.kayak.com and www.farechase.com.

HOWEVER...in EVERY case and in EVERY try you make when you search web sites....before booking, you should ALWAYS go to the direct web site for that airline/car rental/cruise line/hotel etc..... For example, if you use expedia.com or orbitz.com and find the best price for a Hilton hotel, before you book, be sure you FIRST go to www.hilton.com and check the rates there. Even if the rate is the same as you found on orbitz or expedia, always book it at hilton.com (or whatever brand.com site). There are so many reasons why you should always make this a rule, but way to long to explain here. The "aspect" here you should consider here is if expedia.com is selling rooms at a Hilton hotel, then someome is getting your money....but if you booked at hilton.com, then the Hilton gets your money and doesn't have to share it with expedia.com. SO....book direct at the brand.com site.

The short answer to your question is: To get the best price and to search for the largest available inventory of travel, use www.kayak.com or www.farchase.com. Once you find what you are looking for on those web sites, before you book, check out what the xbrand.com offers (such as hilton.com; hertz.com; delta.com;....etc....)

NOTE: When searching for air fares, you need to always check soutwest.com......they do not let other web sites book their flights.

Good luck!

I look for a good price from a well-established internet travel agency. This site has a list of the best travel bargain sites on the web: http://www.travelstartingpoint.com
