Executive Editor Pauline Frommer answered your questions on Tuesday, January 11 at noon ET
Three major US airlines are teetering on the brink of annihilation and airfares are at a 20 year low.
The biggest cruiselines recently imposed a "no discounting" rule on cruise agencies, but despite all predictions shipboard vacation prices are not soaring (yet).
The Euro has become the Arnold Schwartzenegger of currencies, with the dollar a 90-pound weakling...and Americans are crossing the pond in record numbers (2004 was the second biggest year for European tourism, after 2000).
It's been an odd year for travel, to put it mildly. But despite the upheaval in the airline industry (with its attendant holiday meltdowns), the weak dollar, rising fuel costs, and virus-plagued cruise ships vast numbers of Americans have caught the travel bug and are setting off to see the world in ever increasing numbers. The question is: are they doing it smartly? Are they getting the most for their money?
Today, we'll have a broad-ranging discussion on planning vacations (and doing it well!). From using the Internet effectively, to hot destinations, to insurance and safety issues...Let's talk travel! I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have on traveling to Paris or New York, two cities I've written on extensively.
Pauline answered your questions Tuesday, January 11, at 12pm EST.
Pauline Frommer is Executive Editor of Budget Travel Online and like many of our editors, grew up on the road. She started traveling at the age of four months, dashing about Europe with her guidebook-writing parents. Pauline is the former Editor in Chief of Frommers.com and was at its helm when it won the coveted "People's Voice" Webby award. She is the co-author with her father Arthur Frommer of the book "The New World of Travel" and a recipient of a Lowell Thomas Award from the Society of American Travel Writers for her magazine articles. Married to photographer/actor Mahlon Stewart, she is the proud mother of five-year-old Veronica and one-a-half-year-old Beatrix, both terrific travelers.
Pauline Frommer: Good afternoon to all! I've oiled my keyboard, am strapping on the old thinking cap and am going to try and answer as many questions as I can in the next hour.Post again there and either I or one of our staff or best yet, one of our brilliant and well-traveled readers, will help you out.
Okay, bring on the grilling!
Houston, TX: My 14-year-old daughter and I plan to visit the Czech Republic this June. She wants to buy a good Czech violin while we are there. I know that many luthiers work in and around Luby, but since I cannot figure out how to get to Luby or where to stay once there, I wonder if going to the source is advisable. What would you recommend for a 10-day sightseeing/violin buying/cultural experience vacation to the Czech Republic?
Pauline Frommer: There are actually two main violin companies in the Czech Republic: Amati which is located in Karslice and Strunal which is in Luby (Amati is slightly larger). Both towns are very close to the famous spa town of Karlovy Vary, which in turn is a two-hour train ride from Prague. If you're determined to buy a violin on this trip (and you can certainly get one made to your specifications there for less than you could here), you could overnight in Karlovy Vary and either hire a driver or take a taxi from there to one of these two towns. There also will be public buses between these towns and Karlovy Vary, though translating the schedule could be a bit tricky. Still, this is doable, and Karlovy Vary is an interesting place to visit in its own right (be sure to take the waters).
If you want some help in setting up this itinerary you may want to contact the very knowledgeable Czech expats who run Summit International Travel (http://www.summittravel.com/). They have terrific and inexpensive air/hotel packages to Prague (which you could use for airfares and hotels in the capital) and also can arrange custom itineraries.
You're going to love the Czech Republic--a fascinating, beautiful country, which is especially friendly to music lovers (there are classical concerts in Prague nearly every night of the week).
Pittsburgh, PA: Was Australia affected by the tsunami?
Pauline Frommer: No, not to my knowledge.
Philadelphia, PA: Vegas or Orlando: which is will be the least expensive to travel to this year? I like to find best bargains.
Pauline Frommer: Vegas and Orlando are the number one and number two most popular US destinations for both domestic and international visitors. They both have an outrageously large number of hotel rooms, and--except during huge conventions (Vegas) or at the peak of school holiday periods (Orlando)-- a good number of those rooms are going to be empty at any one time, and discounting to attract guests. In Orlando, it's possible to stay at any number of faceless, but clean and comfortable motels along International Drive, for as little as $19 a night; you'll find the same kind of pricing in Vegas at Terribles Casino and periodically at the Westward Ho and Stratosphere hotels (on my last visit, I stayed at Harrah's--right on the strip and next to the chi chi Venetian--for just $39/night).
Both destinations are also tops for "packages". Currently, e-LeisureLink.com is selling five-nights' hotel in Orlando, with airfare from a few East Coast cities and rental car for just $353. Southwest Airlines vacations currently has a deal that will lower the cost of a two night hotel stay in Vegas--with airfare from California--to just $79/person. Many other gateways are available on both deals and are similarly discounted.
This is a long way of saying that, if you do it right, you can have a budget vacation at either place. Vegas may be slightly cheaper because the cost of theme park admissions keeps going up and up and up in Orlando (just last week Sea World raised it's rates to $59.75/person; last month it was Universal; and the month before that Disney "restructured" its rates.) It's very difficult to get a discount on DisneyWorld, though the "lesser" theme parks do often farm out admissions coupons to the Orlando Convention and Visitors Bureau (look for their "Magic Card") which can cut costs substantially.
But heck, if you gamble in Vegas, there go any savings you might have gotten on the hotel or airfare (since the house always wins in the end. Yes, they do. Don't fool yourself about that.)
Conyers, GA: As a single person, what are some important things to consider when planning an inexpensive vacation?
Pauline Frommer: Though packages can often save couples money, the dreaded "singles supplement" usually wipes out any savings for the solo traveler. So be sure to check, before booking anything, how the costs stack up if you buy the elements of the vacation (hotel, air, rental car, etc.) separately.
Singles always get stung with extra costs on cruises and tours, so consider whether you'd be able to still enjoy your vacation if you shared your room with another traveler. Often the company you're booking from will arrange a share, and guarantee you the lower double occupancy price if they can't find anyone for you. If you're unlucky and they do find someone for a share you could be stuck with the roommate from hell. It's a risk.
You may want to take a look at our online chapter on Travel for singles which lists a number of companies which arrange vacations just for singles; we also list vacations where you'll feel less stigmatized if you are alone. You'll find the chapter at: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3223204/.
Yorktown Heights, NY: How easy will it be for a 13-year-old to hike to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite?
Pauline Frommer: Half Dome is a tough trek for grown-ups but if your child is in reasonably good shape (and you may both want to get on a work-out program to prepare) I would say it was doable. From Happy Isle it's about 17 miles round-trip, so you'll have to leave at dawn to make it back by nightfall. You may want to consider camping in Little Yosemite Valley so you can take your time (you'll need a wilderness pass). Bring gloves, as your hands can get pretty chafed on the cables.
Kansas City, MO: Is it reasonably possible to save $5000 American dollars and live and travel around Brazil for one year?
Pauline Frommer: That's an interesting one. If you stay out of the major cities (Rio and Sao Paulo are both pretty pricey compared to the rest of the country), I think you could just make it, though be sure to factor in the cost of airfare (you'll pay less in the summer months) and the fact that you'll have to pay $100 just to get into the country. You may also need a specialized visa for a stay that long so contact the Brazilian consulate before you start saving in earnest.
My family and I were in Brazil this summer and found it to be very affordable. I delicious meal of freshly caught skewers of shrimp bought from a vendor on Ipanema Beach was about $2. We stayed at a wonderful resort in the colonial city of Paraty for just $30/night and rented a boat with driver for the day to take us around to see the islands in the bay for just $40 (for all four of us). So yes, Brazil can be done inexpensively. And it's definitely worth the visit, a fascinating place of great extremes (both economic and in terms of physical appearance) with among the sweetest, most welcoming people we've ever met.
Huntington Beach, CA: Hi Pauline, I'm visiting Madrid and Paris this summer from July 5th-August 15th. The airfare to fly into either one is around $1,100. Why is it so expensive and would it be better to buy later? Thanks.
Pauline Frommer: Though domestic fares have fallen from many gateways, international fares remain pretty hefty. Add to that the fact that you're traveling in high season. You could possibly shave some off the cost if you fly into and out of the same gateway (I would guess that Paris would be the cheaper of the two) and book low-cost hops between the two on one of the "upstart airlines" that's making flying within Europe relatively inexpensive (EasyJet, Ryannair, GermanWings are just a few of these carriers; you may want to do a search on Mobissimo.com to get the lay of the land). As for whether to book now or later: you won't lose anything by waiting a few months and you could catch a sale that way. I'd wait until at least mid-March to book. It's highly doubtful that rates will go up from where they are, and you could possibly catch a sale. Another suggestion: try a discounter such as 800/FLY-EUROPE or go to aggregator CheapFlights.com. They may have access to non-published fares that could cut your costs significantly.
Cherry Hill, NJ: I am a senior citizen interested in a campus vacation that is inexpensive. If inexpensive courses or waivered courses are offered, I'm interested. Please do not recommend Elderhostel. Work-study is usually low cost. Is there a list of US universities offering summer adult housing and work-study? Thank you.
Pauline Frommer: I know of no university that has work-study programs for non-accredited students. However, many Universities across the country allow seniors to audit their classes for free. You won't get free housing, but you will get free classes and in the summer, there may very well be inexpensive dorm lodgings available. These types of auditing programs are available in all 50 States.
Sorry you don't want me to recommend Elderhostel. I think they're a terrific and highly affordable organization.
Grand Rapids, MI: I would like to know where I can find the best airfare from Grand Rapids to Lihue, Kauai. I keep finding airfare for $800 and above. We are leaving on June 24 and returning on July 2. HELP!
Pauline Frommer: You may be out of luck. I'd say try an aggregator site such as Sidestep.com, kayak.com or mobissimo.com. They allow you to scour the web pretty rapidly. Or you may want to try and book a "two-legged" trip for yourself. Price how much it would cost to go to Los Angeles or San Francisco and then see what kinds of prices you can get from there. Both gateways often have terrific deals to the islands from such companies as SunTrips, Aloha Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines among others. A word of warning though: the latter two are in bankruptcy, so don't book them without travel insurance.
For our other readers a note: Southwest Airlines will soon be code-sharing to Hawaii. So if you live in a Southwest gateway (which Grand Rapids is not), you may soon be able to get lower rates to the islands through SW.
Arleta, CA: I like to visit Niagara Falls in Canada, when is the best time and cheapest time to travel?
Pauline Frommer: Winter. High season is during the summer months.
Providence, RI: Hi Pauline: I received an email a couple of weeks ago from my cousin who indicated she and her fiancé have decided to get married on the 3rd weekend in May in Greece, Santorini Island actually, and have invited a bunch of family and friends. I would love to go but also would like to make it a long vacation and do some other traveling. I want to spend about 4 or 5 weeks abroad and would love to know the most cost efficient way of doing this, all the while visiting the hot spots. You see, I'm also being "downsized" (a polite way of saying my job is going away because of a corporate merger) in May and will have plenty of time on my hands as well as a small severance package that will allow me to not worry about money while traveling, at least in the short term. Although that may change given how poorly the dollar is doing against the Euro. Anyway I did travel to Toscana this past May and found Italy wonderful. What I would love to do is travel in and around the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean Seas. I am budgeting about $5,000 US dollars. Any suggestions? P.S. I'm also turning 40 in June and want to make this a memorable trip.
Pauline Frommer: What a great birthday present for yourself!
Here are some suggestions on how to stretch your money (which you're going to have to do with the Euro as strong as it is currently):
That's all I can think of right now. Have a wonderful trip! I envy you.
St. Louis, MO: Are there any cheap ethnic dining establishments you would currently recommend in NYC? Also, could you recommend some good day spas for a massage? I'm planning a solo long weekend in NYC next month as a mid-winter break.
Pauline Frommer: For a day spa, try Bliss, the Stone Spa or Oasis Spa. As for restaurants: yikes, the city is crawling with great ethnic eats. Here are just a few of my faves:
Pontiac, MI: Pauline, my companion and I are planning a trip to Iceland the last week in March 2005. How can we do this inexpensively and hassle free? We plan to stay just three nights. Keep in mind that we have never been to Europe. What major places should we see? What should we not leave Iceland without? Thanks for your help!
Pauline Frommer: My colleague Senior Editor Adrien Glover has just recently been in Iceland, so I asked her to respond to this one. Here's her reply:
Iceland will be pleasant, easy, and naturally exhilarating introduction to Europe, but it's not cheap, so you'll have to plan carefully. For your first trip, I'd recommend looking into Icelandair Holidays (icelandairholidays.com/)--it offers relatively affordable air-hotel packages. Icelandair flies from Boston, New York, Baltimore, Orlando, and Minneapolis. Of its two big hotels in Reykjavik (icehotels.is/), the new Nordica is stylish but I'm actually a fan of the retro (and charmingly worn) Loftleidir Hotel, the only hotel in the city with its own mineral swimming pool. If you book your airfare and hotel separately, then look into staying at the Hotel Fron or a "guesthouse" ($100/ni.).
Spend your first day soaking up Reykjavik (it's not big, and therefore easy to do), spend your second day on the Golden Circle Tour (it takes you to geysers, stunning waterfalls, lave fields) or to the Snæfellsness Peninsula (where you can watch whales and see glaciers). Be sure to return in time for a late-afternoon visit to one of the city's many public mineral pools. This is a must, and a quintessential Icelandic experience. You can easily arrange on the day of your departure to stop at Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon ($50), milky azure geothermic hot springs (bluelagoon.is/) en route to the airport. This too is a must for any first-timer to Iceland, and a terrific way to end your trip.
While there, you might want check out the nightlife Reykjavik's famous for. For dancing, go to NASA and for music, talk to you your concierge about the latest spots for listening. One of my favorite restaurants is Perlan, which rotates on top of a geyser. It serves incredible gourmet food, featuring lamb, arctic char and other items Iceland is known for. (A dinner here will be a splurge.) Other eats include Iceland's famous lamb hot dogs (they cost just $2 and are sold everywhere--in the Keflavik Airport, at a stall near the port in old Reykjavik, etc.). "Black Death" or Brennevin (caraway schnapps) is THE drink of choice. Locals even mix it with Coke. Iceland is a strange beautiful place. Enjoy your trip!
Houston, TX: Hello, I'm planning a 6-day trip to London for March ('05). My cousin and I would also like to visit Paris for a day or two (inclusive) via train. We don't want to carry our luggage with us the entire time, do you have any suggestions, other than renting one room in London and one in Paris for the same dates?
Pauline Frommer: There will be lockers at the train station (guarded) where you should be able to leave your luggage when you go to Paris. You can consult any good travel guide for costs and information on where in the station these will be located.
New York, NY: Can you recommend a good option for suites in Las Vegas? It seems the Strip hotels have really high rates. Any suggestions?
Pauline Frommer: What you pay in Vegas will always depend on when you go. If you can be flexible with your dates, you can often get suites for very little money. You may want to go to the website of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau to see the listings of conventions. This will give you a good idea of which dates to avoid. You'll also pay a lot less for rooms midweek than you will on the weekend. Finally, you may want to consider looking off strip, though I personally prefer the excitement of the Strip to having a really large room. I've found that very few of the rooms in Vegas are that great to begin with (the exception would probably be the plush rooms at the Venetian and Bellagio). But in general, the rooms in Vegas are poorly lit (purposefully) so that you won't want to stay long in your room and will get back to the casino sooner!
One final suggestion: try a room consolidator like Hotels.com or LasVegas.com. They may have deals that aren't available to the general public.
Anonymous: Why are fares from Denver, which is 700 miles away, to Las Vegas so high? We can't get a RT ticket below $215 bucks...yet my friends in Indianapolis, much farther away, can go for $150 round trip? What's the deal?
Pauline Frommer: Competition. Those gateways that have the most airlines vying for your travel dollar get the best fares.
Pinon Hills, CA: I'm renewing my wedding vows in Las Vegas in February. It's my 20th anniversary. Can you suggest a nice place to have dinner afterwards? OR maybe a great show. Thanks.
Pauline Frommer: Congratulations! If you're looking for a great, old-fashioned Vegas show, I'd recommend Clint Holmes. He's a really terrific performer (and would probably announce from the stage that you're renewing your vows. Just alert the manager in advance). As for a restaurant, it really all depends on how much you want to spend. The town is bristling with great restaurants.
Orlando, FL: Pauline, Good afternoon and thanks for a great magazine. My question to you is about how to find opportunities/jobs similar to what you do be it as a researcher or something in the travel field. I am very good at researching destinations, love to travel and learn about other cultures and countries and would like to get some direction on finding an opportunity. Thanks for your help in advance.
Pauline Frommer: There are no such jobs. You have to be a writer to work as a travel writer. No travel writer worth her salt would send someone out to research destinations for her; there would be no way she could write them up from someone else's notes.
Columbia, CA: We are going to be in Vegas January 16-18 for a conference. We'd like to extend our stay, but need help on how to find those budget deals for shows and places to stay that combine fun with frugality. Should we wait we're there for the best deals or book through a search engine ahead of time? Thanks!
Pauline Frommer: Wait until you're there. For shows, there's a half-price ticket booth on the Strip which is a real money saver, and, depending on the time of year, sometimes even gets the Cirque du Soleil shows (which are extremely pricey). And if you have a few moments to wander around to a couple of hotels during your convention you should be able to find an inexpensive room for yourself. Don't be afraid to bargain! There are always vacancies and managers are dying to unload rooms. Say to them "Well, I just got an offer of $40/night at (fill in the blank) hotel. Can you beat that?" You'll be surprised at how often this will work. Just be brave!
Boston, MA: Hi Pauline, I am trying to plan a group vacation in April for about 10 late-twentysomethings, mostly couples. We want to spend about 5 to 7 days wherever we go, with a combination of nightlife and outdoor activities, and keep the per person cost to around $700 for air/hotel. Some of our ideas were: Iceland, South Beach & Orlando combo, Cozumel, or a Napa-Tahoe-Yosemite trifecta. Any other cheap alternatives? Thank you!
Pauline Frommer: My colleague Adrien Glover volunteered to take this one:
Of all the destinations on your short list, I'd go with Mexico. I'd recommend renting a house on the Yucatan Peninsula (Cozumel or elsewhere) for your group vacation. This area offers something for everyone (beach for those who want to veg, cave diving, jungle treks, etc. for those who are more active, Mayan ruins for culturally oriented vacationers, good shopping opps, etc.) and is easy to get around.
Many properties also come with cooks and a staff. (It isn't much more to have a cook and it's is a terrific way to help alleviate pressure around meal time, plus you can sample many local dishes without leaving your compound.) You and your friends should have no trouble finding a property big enough to accommodate you all for less than $700/couple, and there are quite a few websites dedicated to regional rentals in Mexico. NOTE: You'll need to rent a car(s) or minivan. When you do be sure to rent with an established international agency; the local outfits can be difficult to deal with should something go wrong.
I'm just not sure you could actually do the other locations on the budget you have planned (especially Iceland).
East Lansing, MI: When is the best time to travel to Mexico and is San Miquel de Allende a good destination?
Pauline Frommer: San Miguel de Allende is a wonderful destination (good for you for choosing a historic sight over a bland beach resort!). As for when you should go, don't go in May because everything shuts down then (that's when the Mexicans take their own vacations). Early fall is lovely, spring is great too, the winter can be chilly, and with summer comes the rainy season.
San Diego, CA: What is your favorite "can't miss" sight in the Miami/Florida Keys areas?
Pauline Frommer: Vizcaya in Miami is absolutely wonderful. A historic home, eclectic and beautiful in its design. I'd highly recommend it. Also in Miami, you're going to want to spend at least an afternoon in the art deco district wandering among the pastel hotels and chi chi restaurants. It's a real scene and not to be missed.
Orlando, FL: Hi Pauline; Not only do we have the same name but we are bargain travel shoppers. My question is I am looking to go on a cruise and wanted to know if you recommend me doing a last-minute booking to see if I can gain some great last-minute deals, or if I should play it safe and book early with the cruise line that I have traveled before to benefit from my saving offers for past cruisers?
Pauline Frommer: There's been a real shake up in the cruise industry of late. The cruise lines (Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity in particular) are trying to do in the discounters by not allowing them to rebate back to the consumer any of their commission; and by not allowing them to buy cabins in bulk and at a group rate and then pass back that discount to consumers. You combine these consumer-unfriendly tactics with the fact that cruising is booming and the result is: very few last-minute discounts.
Last year, I would have advised you to wait. This year, my advice is to go to a "reverse auction" site such as CruiseCompete.com and see what kinds of discounts you can get in real time. You may also want to check in with such discounters as Cruisestar.com, cruisevalue.com, cruisebrothers.com, cruisesonly.com, etc.
Finally, "Repositioning Cruises" where the cruiseline moves a ship from its winter to its summer port, continue to be good values. If you speak with any of the above companies, you may want to see if they have any good deals on these types of cruises.
Phoenix, AZ: I am planning a trip to Italy (Rome) in October...should I get my tickets immediately or should I wait and see what happen with fares??
Pauline Frommer: Wait!!! You'll pay through the nose if you book now, since they'll know they've got you. Start looking about three months before you're planning to leave. That way, if there are any sales, you'll be able to catch them. 1-800-FLY-EUROPE has had some really good prices of late to Italy.
If you don't have a hotel picked out, you may want to look into an air/hotel package. This will often save you big bucks on both components. Some companies to look at for Rome:
Milo, ME: Is there a best time of year to travel to southwestern areas for a scenic tour type vacation? Coming from Maine, we do mind extreme hot weather... anything less than 80 is fine.
Pauline Frommer: Well, the Southwest is a pretty big area. If you're visiting the mountainous areas of the Southwest (in New Mexico, for example) the temperature should be pretty temperate, even in August. But if you're thinking of visiting Phoenix, say, you'll be pretty miserable in June, July or August. I'd suggest you visit weather.com/ so you can key in exactly where you'll be going and get a forecast.
Reston, VA: I once took a trip with Green Tortoise, an adventure travel company that provides you a bus to live on while traveling across the US. I loved it, as it was affordable and allowed me to cover a lot of ground. Are there any other travel companies that are similar that you would recommend? Thanks.
Pauline Frommer: Green Tortoise is really one of a kind! I don't know of any other companies where you sleep on the bus. However, there are companies that do "cooperative camping". What that means is they set up tents for the customers and everyone bunks down together at night.
Raleigh, NC: I was thinking about going to Iceland specifically Reykjavik for Spring Break (March), is that a good time to make the trip?
Pauline Frommer: Yes, that's a real party time to go. Iceland is increasingly popular as a destination among American college students thanks to the advanced dance club scene in Reykjavik. You may want to take a gander at our earlier response on Iceland for more details.
Houston, TX: I want to travel to the Dominican Republic this summer. Where should I go? I would like to stay at an all-inclusive resort.
Pauline Frommer: What a question! There are dozens of terrific all-inclusives in the D.R. It's their stock in trade. In November, I was at the Sunscape Casa del Mar in Bayahibe, a nice, affordable place with a mostly European clientele that I enjoyed a lot, but there are tons of other places to go. My suggestion would be to visit DebbiesDominicanTravel.com. It hosts the most extensive message boards I know of on Dominican Resorts and you'll get hundreds of opinions there (not just mine) on resorts in La Romana, Punta Cana and Puerto Plata. One quick note about Punta Cana: there's been an outbreak of malaria there, so visitors going to that region will have to take malaria pills. The D.R. is a huge island so not to worry: none of the other resort areas are affected.
St. Louis, MO: I am going on a cruise very soon. Any hints to get an upgrade in cabin or any other amenities the day of the cruise.
Pauline Frommer: It's unlikely you'll get an upgrade. Cruising is having its best year ever, and many ships are going out at near capacity. My two tips for you are:
Los Angeles, CA: Do you know of any organizations, listserves, blogs, etc. that would be good to join for someone who is interested in getting into the travel writing industry?
Pauline Frommer: The American Society of Travel Writers would be your best bet.
Lancaster, PA: We want to take a cruise and this will be our first cruise. We always hear Alaska cruise are really nice. What are the better lines; least complaints, most bang for the buck, best places to go that aren't too touristy. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Pauline Frommer: It's hard to say which are better, but the cruiselines do have very different personalities. Carnival, for example, tends to have the cheapest cruises, but many find the atmosphere on-board to be a bit too frenetic (it's kind of like being in Vegas for a week--some people like all the neon, some don't). Holland America is an elegant line, but it tends to attract a much older crowd (though they're trying to change that with new kids clubs onboard). Really your best bet would be to talk with a knowledgeable cruise agent. Go over your tastes and budget. Most Alaskan cruises follow very similar itineraries, so what you really need to figure out is: which ship can you afford, and which would best suit your taste.
Grapevine, TX: Do all travel agencies charge the same rate on all cruises? Is there any benefit in shopping around with different travel agents? Thank you
Pauline Frommer: No, there are certain larger agencies that will rebate part of their commission, or may get a better price for the clients either by buying in bulk or as a reward from the cruiseline for selling a lot of cabins. It's always a good idea to shop around. You may also want to try the reverse auction site CruiseCompete.com (which will allow you to see what a couple of agencies are offering very quickly). The important thing is to go to an agency that specializes in cruises: look from one with the word "Ahoy" or "Cruise" or "Sailing" in their name. General agencies sometimes don't get as good deals as specialists, though, as I wrote earlier, a lot of the deals are drying up in the cruise industry.
Audubon, PA: We are planning a vacation for our family to London over spring break. Our daughters are 15 and 14. I have looked at Travelocity, Orbitz, cheapflights, etc.. for air fare and accommodations. Any other suggestions?
Pauline Frommer: What a wonderful idea! You're children will love London.
You'll get a much better deal on a package if you go with a specialist. Try:
Pauline Frommer: Thanks to everyone for the terrific questions! So sorry I didn't get to them all.
Happy Trails to all!

Local bus operators in Staffordshire including First Potteries, D&G, Arriva, Midland Classic, and National Express West Midlands with support from Staffordshire County Council have all signed up to a new multi-operator bus ticket scheme, giving people the flexibility to use any bus, any time, anywhere across the county of Staffordshire.
The new ‘KNOT’ bus ticket has been launched today (Monday 15 April 2019) and is expected to be very well received by people who want to travel to multiple locations on the same day using different bus operators.
For only £7 the day ticket provides unlimited travel on all bus services running in Staffordshire. The ticket can be purchased on the bus from the driver using either cash or the contactless function which makes it easy and accessible to buy.
Nick Vane, Commercial Director of National Express West Midlands, said:
"National Express West Midlands is delighted to join the new Staffordshire Knot scheme and offer this great value ticket to customers using buses right across the county.

“The Knot ticket is also valid on our 54 and 54A services between Stafford and the i54 business park, connecting customers with this major site of employment and growth.”
Dan Flanagan, Operations Manager at First Potteries, said:

|Minimum Stay||3 - 7 nights|
If you come to the beach to be AT THE BEACH then "Cool Change" is the place for you. This delightful two bedroom Carolina cottage gives you beach views from every room. And you are just steps away from the sand and surf.
This bright, airy home has been repainted and we have installed new carpet in the bedrooms. The hardwood floors and steps have just been refinished and look great!
The reverse floor plan features an upstairs living area that includes a generous-sized living room filled with comfortable stuffed chairs and sofa. Here you’ll find a brand new 40' flat screen HDTV with DVD and a CD player. The dining area and fully-equipped kitchen are adjacent and open on to a large ocean-facing balcony with a table and chairs for outdoor dining.
The two bedrooms are on the ground level. Each opens onto the downstairs covered porch. One features twin sized beds and is next to the hall full bath. The other has a new king sized bed and adjoins the master bath with double sinks and a large shower. The master bedroom also has its own flat screen TV.
'Cool Change’s front door opens on to a small private courtyard ringed by three homes. In the garage you’ll find a four-seat golf cart, beach chairs and beach toys. Linens and departure cleaning are included in your rent. So is a temporary membership to the popular Shoals Club or BHI Club (for week-long rentals). Daily memberships are available for the Clubs' fee.
The Shoals Club is located at the eastern point of the island. It features two pools, one for small children. The Club has a private walkway to the beach. It provides towels, beach chairs and umbrellas for use at the shore or by the pool. Enjoy a light fare at the outdoor cafe adjacent to the pool. Or reserve a table inside for a more elegant meal.
The Bald Head Island Club has a wonderful 18 hole golf course, swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness center and several dining venues.
If you’ve been to Bald Head Island, you’ll know that "Cool Change" is perfectly located in Flora’s Bluff along South Beach, just minutes by golf cart from the Club, the Maritime Market, and the ferry
If this is your first visit, you’re in for a real treat. Bald Head Island is rich in history and is a nature-lovers paradise. You’ll want to visit Old Baldy, the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina. Take the tour to hear tales of the pirates who used to sail these waters. And stop at the Bald Head Island Conservancy for information on a variety of nature programs.
Bicycles, sailboats, and kayaks are all available for rent, and some outfitters offer lessons.
"Cool Change" is a no-smoking home and pets are not allowed. We'll love to have you spend some vacation days with us.
On-Island manager is available to help should any issue arise.
Keywords: Beach house, Ocean view
We loved this house.
Here are some of the highlights:
1. Literally steps from South Beach with great outdoor shower at the entrance to the path. There are lots of public beach access sites across the island but none of them have a fresh water shower. Being able to walk to the beach and have easy access to a shower made it easy to get to the beach even for a short time. It's much less work than loading up a golf cart and heading off to a public beach access site.
2. Reverse floor plan means that the living area /kitchen is bathed in light throughout the day and the bedrooms are not super-bright at 6 AM.
3. Upstairs deck has great ocean views and is perfect for watching the sunset in the evening or the stars at night.
4. Downstairs deck provides a shady place to rest outside during the mid-day heat while the strong ocean breeze keeps you cool. (There were days when we spent several delicious hours just relaxing on the downstairs deck).
5. Perfect location on the island. It's a five-minute golf cart ride to East Beach and the Shoals Club and a five-minute ride to the Maritime Market.
This house was the perfect size for my wife and I and would be comfortable for four people.
Hope you get a chance to enjoy it!
My husband and I had such a wonderful visit at Cool Change on Bald Head Island. It was the perfect getaway. The house was clean, well stocked and in a perfect location. We loved sitting on the back deck looking at the ocean while we had our morning coffee. Loved how close the beach was, just steps away. Had a great time exploring the island on the golf cart. Also enjoyed the membership to Shoals Club that came with the house. I cannot forget to mention, Mike, the gentleman in charge of the house. He was so responsive to all our questions and requests. We will definitely be back. May even bring the kids next time.
The VRBO pics are misleading as they are taken standing on the upper deck and don’t show a house that blocks the frontal view.
The location is convenient, midway from the ferry to Cape Fear. Access to the beach is steps away. We found the house very clean.
There were a number of minor and serious issues. After departing the rental agent said he could have dealt with some of the minor issues. We thought because of the remoteness of BHI this was not possible and did not contact the agent while there.
Here are some of the positives and negatives:
Good WIFI signal.
The king size bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable but our guest said the twin beds were very uncomfortable.
Water pressure is VERY high and the faucet design in the bathrooms makes it difficult to control volume.
There is no beach or ocean view from the lower level deck. What you do see is other houses and a weedy turnaround. It does provide shade though.
The upper deck has a table and four chairs, but no table umbrella for shade. There is a view of the beach and ocean if you sit in the dining chairs, but no view from the deck chairs as there is a solid wood railing.
The golf cart with a full charge could barely make it over the small hills.
Kitchen: Tea kettle with no lid knob and no whistle. No ladle for soup and large spoon to dish spaghetti sauce. Old dirty coffee maker. No dish drainer.
No end tables or coffee table in the living area. We had to use the large plastic boxes we brought with us.
No kleenex in the house.
My son had just graduated from college and wanted us to spend 4-5 days together at a quiet get away spot. We were familiar with Bald Head and the combination of a quiet pre-season week and the charming near-the-beach-as-advertised cottage made for a spectacular experience.
We had a great visit at Cool Change on Bald Head Island. The house was clean and comfortable with extra amenities. Lots of towels and especially beach towels were provided. The kitchen had everything you could need from hand soap to sharp steak knives. The beach chairs were in good shape as well as the bicycles and out door furniture. Any questions I had were answered promptly, golf cart was also in good condition.
The house is located steps from the beach and maybe a mile from the shoals. The beach was clean and really wide.
We had a great stay and will hopefully be able to return soon.
We spent the second week of May on the island. Cool Change was perfect for us. The house was the cleanest and most well-equipped we've ever rented. Access to the perfect beach was effortless with walkways from front door to the sand. Everything in the garage was in perfect shape: bikes, chairs, umbrellas, golf cart and a basket of beach towels were even in the foyer of the house for our use. This really was an extra. Mike is the perfect provider. He's 'johnny on the spot' from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. You'll love this house and its perfect location.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Kyoto and Nara Day Tour Including Golden Pavilion and Todai-ji Temple from Osaka. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Enjoyed the tour, lets you experience Japanese history and culture in a day. The tour guide spoke good English and provided a number of interesting trivia. I found the morning Kyoto tour a bit rushy, but understandable because we had to cover more ground. The afternoon Nara tour was a lot more relaxing, we were given close to 2 hours free time to walk around the Nara temple and deer park. Lunch buffet can be improved though. Cheers.
I really enjoyed the trip. I was met at my hotel in the morning with an escort to help me navigate the subway and trains to get to the tour location in Kyoto. She was wonderful. The tour was great. There were many wonderful sights to see, with time to explore some at each site. It was sort of busy, with school kids at each location, but it was not a major problem. I was able to see everything without a problem. I would have liked to have had more time at the Handicraft Center, but ended up going back on my own the next day so it was fine. One of my favorite parts was the Nara Deer Park, where if you hold the biscuits up high and bow, the deer will bow to ask for a biscuit. They can be quite assertive, so you need to firm in what you will do. The larg Buddha was amazing to see. This was such a wonderful tour. I would highly recommend it. After the tour I was met by another escort in Nara that helped me to return to my hotel in Osaka. I always felt well taken care of and the guides were very knowledgable. It was one of my better experiences in Japan. I felt completely comfortable traveling on the tour as a single woman traveling alone.
The tour arrangements from pickup to return points were excellent. Guides were very knowledgeable about the subjects and did an excellent job. Took time to answer questions.
Just awesome! our guide was great had a good sense of humour. Just mind the deers don't eat you at Nara.
I was met at the agreed upon time by a fantastic tour escort, who looked after me from Osaka to Kyoto. In Kyoto, the group was about 20-25 people, and we were all well looked after. Nara was fantastic, and I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to see as much as possible.
Excellent tour. We saw so much within a one day period. The tour was EXTREMELY well organized.
Great tour except the trip from Osaka to Kyoto, did not enjoy the train trip and the lunch was not the normal classy place Via tours selects, it lacked the ability to interface and socially visit other tour participants. Kyoto and Nara were more than expected, great tour guide.
I liked the tour. It was well organized and interesting. The only thing I would recommend adding to this trip is some "geisha experience" in Kyoto, which was traditional geisha city.
We saw a lot during a short span of time. I was a little worried that we over spent on this tour since it is pricey... but considering how much it would have costs in train rides just to get from Osaka to Kyoto/Nara, convinced me that it wasn't.
If you don't mind being a little rushed in viewing everything and eating lunch... than I would totally recommend it. Tour guide was great; the food was so-so.

Location: Krakow – Poland
Classification: 5 star hotel
Official website: https://www.hotelunicuspalace.pl/
Hotel Unicus Palace is one the newest five star hotels in the heart of Krakow. You really can’t beat the location, the hotel is located on one of the most stunning places in Krakow, in the historic city center. Make sure to walk along one of Krakow’s most prestigious promenade. A must see is the famous Market Square, Europe’s largest medieval market square. It’s really impressive and only a few steps away from the hotel.
The historic building is gorgeous and is considered as a historic monument. It used to be a townhouse and is beautifully renovated. Once you enter Hotel Unicus Palace, you enter a top notch five star hotel with great interior designer elements and attention to details whether I’m writing about service or rooms.
The lobby area is beautiful and gives an excellent first impression. It felt like an ultra luxurious boutique lobby with high ceilings and white interior designer elements. Welcome staff is attentive to your entrance and departure and always willing to provide a hand or transport assistance. Our room keys were handed in seconds while they explained everything we needed to know in a very friendly and accommodating way.
Hotel Unicus Palace has 60 luxuriously appointed rooms in different categories. We stayed in a deluxe room which I liked very much. For city hotel standards, the room had a great size and I could spend a whole day in the room without leaving. No bright colors nor shoddy elements … Every room at Hotel Unicus Palace is tastefully decorated with high quality materials. I loved the bed! It felt like sleeping on a cloud… Our room had everything I’d expect from a five star hotel including high quality toiletries, a Nespresso coffee machine and a luxurious bathroom with excellent (rain)shower.
Did you know that Hotel Unicus Palace has several apartments with the same contemporary décors and features? Those apartments are perfect for families and friends when visiting beautiful Krakow!
For me, one of the key features of Hotel Unicus Palace is the SPA Zone. This is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The spa area is located on the lower floor of the hotel and the ceilings are pretty amazing. The indoor pool is pretty large for a city hotel and water temperature was just perfect for me (not too cold, nor too hot). On top of that, there’s a traditional sauna and steam room. The whole place is immaculately clean and staff was very kind and informative. Do note that several treatments can be booked here. The gym is well equipped with all the latest technology facilities.
Another highlight of Hotel Unicus Palace is The Unique Taste restaurant. Although we didn’t have dinner there, this restaurant receives lovely reviews and comments. I must highlight the beautiful décor and high quality furniture.
After a great peaceful night, we were hungry again and couldn’t wait to explore breakfast. After our wonderful experiences at Hotel Unicus Palace, our expectations were high and I’m happy to write they were met in a every single way. The buffet style breakfast is large and offers a great selection of fresh ingredients, breads, pastries and fruit. Make sure to try the crêpes, they are delicious!!
It would be simple to say the defining factor was having the spa and fine dining restaurant available, but that would not do justice to the other elements which I found of the highest standard. To recap – the location is superb, service is unbeatable and food is outstanding. This definitely is one of my favorite picks in Krakow! Amenities at Hotel Unicus Palace truly are impeccable! I loved every single aspect of our stay!

The location was great. It was the middle of summer and stayed a cool 75 - 80 degrees. Porch right next to a creek. Would recommend it!!
We loved our stay at Bear Bottom Creek! It had everything you could possibly need and it was very neat and tidy. The hot tub on the screened porch was our favorite place to relax! Mother Nature showed herself with quite a storm on our last night there and we were unable to drive back to our cabin due to downed lines and trees. We met some amazing local neighbors and our Vacasa management team stepped up immediately to help us out. Thank you!
This cabin feels wonderfully secluded back in the woods while still being quiet accessible. It is well stocked with quality amenities (appliances, dishes, etc.). And the layout is perfect with a screened in porch/hot tub, outdoor porch and fire pit, and delightful interior layout/decor - versatile for all seasons/weather. We greatly enjoyed our time and will definitely consider returning in the future.
Quiet surroundings, flowing stream, nice enclosed porch with jacuzzi, then an additional lower deck having nice gas grill facing stream and woods. Indoor and out door furniture was smartly done. Good functioning home as your own home. with all modern conveniences. All surrounded by woods. Beautiful
The hot tub was easily one of the best things about the place, but we also enjoyed the view of the creek and the way the porch was set up.
Renting this cabin for a long weekend was a great last minute decision. Unfortunately we could not experience all of the amenities available due to bad weather. Cabin is nicely secluded and the hot tub is a great feature.
The place is very cozy and peaceful. Enjoyed hot coffees and cold beers while listening to the creek along the back of the house. It’s a small house but not in a bad way. It had everything we wanted so we could have a cozy mountain cabin experience.
We had an amazing trip. It was rainy, so we stayed in most of the weekend. Everything was clean and nice. The hot tub does take awhile to warm-up for use, but it's well worth the wait. We have recommended this cabin to all our friends and plan to visit again as soon as possible.
Secluded and peaceful cabin. We loved it.
This house was perfect for our family of 3 - could easily fit a family of 4. Cabin is just a few feet from a beautiful little creek. Large property with fire pit and plenty of outdoor seating both covered and uncovered. Cabin itself is cozy - small but very nice and neat and claen - nice touches like bear stuffed animals in kids rooms. Great TV with all sports and movie channels for rainy days. Fabulous hot tub on porch and great fireplace inside too.

“Always an elegant yet casual fine dining experience. Malabar is our date night go-to. ”

"@BrixxisKING Sounds awesome -- thanks for getting back to us! So, do you always eat like a king? "

"Ever snapped a picture at our place before? We'd love to see -- we may even use it ourselves!"
"@Rageonomics Fantastic. When will you come enjoy a drink here, with us? ☺"
The Malabar has a nice atmosphere and the service was great. My server was very friendly and attentive. I had the Malabar chicken sandwich and enjoyed it very much!
We stopped in here for dinner and ended up at the bar ordering a bunch of appetizers, which were excellent and a great value. Drinks are good, especially happy hour drinks. I'd eat here again.
We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express, and had to catch an early flight out of SMF the next morning. We wanted to eat somewhere close to our hotel so that we could turn in early. Malabar fit the bill. Its parking lot is adjacent to the Holiday I...
