New York and Beyond

Monday, November 17th, 2008

New York city is the gateway to Europe and other countries from the U.S. So if New York isn’t your final destination, you can usually plan on flying there enroute to elsewhere. And as long as you’re going to visit, you might as well stay an extra day and make a mini vacation out of it. It’s a good idea to find out what time new york flights are scheduled for, so you can plan accordingly. Plan your arrival to New York in the morning, that way you can sightsee one day, and then head on to your final destination.

Seeing Where He Came From

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

My nephew’s father was born in Egypt before he decided to move to the United States as an adult. This means that my nephew is half Egyptian, and he is very proud of his culture. My nephew has never been over to Egypt to visit, but he wants to go and see where his family came from very badly. Since he will be turning eighteen next year, the whole family is planning to pitch in and buy him one of those Egypt packages, so that he can go. It would be the best gift in the world to give him the chance to see his heritage.

South African Car Insurance

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

I have insurance on my car in the US that covers any car I drive as long as I have permission from the driver.  When we go to South Africa and want to do the car hire from Avis will they accept my coverage or will I have to get a special South African policy?  We want to save as much money as we can so would rather not buy additional insurance but at the same time to not want to be a risk and stand the chance of getting in trouble with the local authorities.  Who should we go to to get this information?

Airway Motel Brisbane

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

We are flying into the Brisbane airport and then we plan to take a driving tour around a bit of Australia. We are flying in late at night and need a place to crash, so we checked out the Brisbane motels to find one that would offer us what we need without a very high price tag, and we ended up choosing the Airway Motel Brisbane. It doesn’t have a restaurant, but we want to get an early start anyways and can stop at one of the nearby restaurants on our way out in the morning. We will probably stay there again the night before we fly home, but we haven’t booked anything yet.

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

My fiance and I have always wanted to do a destination wedding. We wanted it to be a special place and we looked everywhere for the perfect location. We finally settled on Mauritius off the coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. With its beautiful climate and amazing beaches, we figured it the prefect place. What we needed was to find a list of mauritius hotels. Well we had a friend who had just been on vacation to Mauritius and he said we had to book Le Telfair. He said his stay there was fantastic and that the staff was amazing. We took his advice and booked it immediately. We are so excited to get married at such a great location.

Beautiful Aukland Vacation Sport

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Finding a great vacation spot can be one of the most challenging things to do as a family.  We have searched so hard each and every year picking out the perfect spot for the family vacation.  This year was just as difficult, but came with amazing rewards.  One of the families favorite activities is to swim.  We love swimming and can’t get enough of it.  Once we found some good Auckland hotels we knew that this vacation was going to be a vacation that we would never forget.  The kids have already picked out new bathing suits that they cannot wait to try on.

The top five three star hotels in Cape Town are the Breakwater Lodge, the Fountains Hotel, the Park-Inn Hotel, the Cape Town Hollow, and the Cape Diamond Hotel.

Are there a lot of hotels in Thailand?

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

There is such an enormous amount of hotels in Thailand that they had to break the hotels up into categories in order to make searches much easier for prospective visitors. These categories are family, beachfront, activity, pet friendly, business, budget, long stay, shopping area, honeymoon and romantic, luxury, boutique, and spa hotels. This way the person that is planning on visiting Thailand can look up a hotel by the information that they know about their visit rather it is for fun, relaxation, business, or special event. They can get a list of the hotels per their theme and then narrow it down from there by price if they wish.
