Q – We are scheduled to go on a wonderful South America trip on February 2nd planned by our travel agent in Rochester (New York). But we have real concerns about a snowstorm or ice on the wings or any number of winter problems that could ruin our departure and put us days behind. My…
Q – We’ve beent here and done that, from Sandals to Sandy Lane. and my lady and I have decided that we’re done with big hotels, cruisers, and packaged tourists. Now, we’re looking for a few secret spots, just a few cottages on a beach where Jimmy Buffet might be lounging in the hammock. We’re big…
Q – We are set to take our second cruise sailing out of Venice next summer. This is a “Free Air” sailing, one of the reasons we picked it. We will be flying out of Miami and we are worried about the air route Holland America might give us. Our agent feels the fact that…
Q – We just discovered this site and we can’t stop reading. But it is clearly built around the needs of the 1% who demand five-star accommodations. We are returning to Rome for the second time and we stayed at the Hassler on our first trip. Our room nightly bill could have bought us a…
Q – Our family of four will be visiting St. Petersburg on a cruise operated by Celebrity. We hear it is one of the very top lines. Hope you agree. We will be bringing our 12 and 14 year old girls and wonder if there is a really good restaurant they might enjoy as we…
Q – Love the site, and forgive you your occasional spelling errors .I wonder if you can answer a question I’ve never seen addressed by travel folks. Are some aircraft safer than others? Are 747’s more dangerous, for example, then smaller. more maneuverable planes? Aren’t larger planes, like the 747, more likely to head into…
Q – We have just started going to Las Vegas two or three times a year for a little gambling and some great food, that is why recommend you the Hakkasan is a favorite in Las Vegas is the hot nightclub at MGM Grand and it’s enormous! But since nowadays it’s impossible to go, so…
Q – We love the lack of garbage on this web site. Congratulations. It is so nice not to have to get past ads to get a questions answered. We’re headed to Egypt and then, possibly Syria, if things cool down. We’ve been to Israel twice. But my job requires a good deal of international…
Q – We are serious luxury level travelers and we’ve heard that the magician David Copperfield made a lot of money in Las Vegas and set up a beautiful resort in the Caribbean, getting inspiration form the beautiful Marquee he stayed in in las vegas. Your recommendations would be appreciated. We have no problem with rates…
Q – I turn everyone on to this amazing site. You guys should really link up with the big boys to get more hits. If you don’t know the site’s name you can’t find it. So you owe me. A simple question. We’re going to Aruba in two weeks and we heard there is this…
Q – We are thinking about getting away next May to Bermuda. We’ve found some rates that are almost too good to be true. Any thoughts? A – Other than pass – not really. Bermuda visitors are just often unaware of it’s location. The Visitors Bureau may not like it when we point it out,…
Q – Really interesting web site. Much appreciate the specifics. So, we’re off, for the first time to St. Bart’s, a rather silly place for two Brits to go – but that’s another story. We want to find a beach or two to call our own. Where do/would you go? A – The insider’s choice…
Q – I hope this question is appropriate but we are in shape and we enjoy nude beaches. It seems like most of what we read about beaches where you can go topless or even nude is licentious .We’re not into anything kinky it’s just that my husband and I can go to a beach…
Q – Instead of going to Paris, we’ve been there five times, we’ve chosen, much to the consternation of our very local, she lives next door, travel agent, Quebec this coming August. We’ve asked about hotels and she recommended the Chateau Frontenac. But it seems huge and huge is not something we generally like unless…
Q – Trying to pin down a hotel. My husband is a golfer, I love the sun. We’re headed to Guanacaste on Costa Rica’s west coast and have been looking at both the Hotel Punta Islita and the Four Seasons. Any bottom line opinions you might share? A – See if you can get golf…
Q – My husband and I decided, well more I decided and I let him know, that we will, in the next 36 months, be taking long weekend vacations instead of longer trips abroad. After that, we’ll return to our travel addiction but, for now, we want to cut the travel budget a bit. For…
Q – Enjoy your site but you have to know that most of your visitors can’t afford to get around by taxi or private drivers. A lot of us use public transportation and your site is not very good at telling us how to get around on the cheap. Right now, we are getting ready…
Q – We are thinking of going on a Crystal Cruise to Europe in 2012. But friends tell us that they read on the internet that Crystal is more expensive then some of the smaller ships. Price won;t be the main issue in our decision, but we were wondering if Crystal is generally more expensive…
Q – Really grateful for this site and your willingness to help. We are about to plunk down a fistful of cash to see Antarctica, the trip of our dreams. We don’t necessarily care about having the largest cabin etc., but we want to see as much as possible. Our agent is saying Le Boreal…
Q – We are currently booked on a Greek Islands cruise on Seabourn this summer. We just read about the changes at the line on traveltruth and we’re concerned. Should we change our plans given that the ship is now going to be run by Carnival Cruises? We booked directly with Seabourn so they are…
Q – We are making a return trip to Venice before embarking on a cruise. We have one night to spend before the cruise and we are looking at Ca’ Segredo, the Hotel Cipriani, or the Hilton Stuckey. We like our comfort and appreciate hotels that have safety procedures in place and no bed bugs….
Q – We are going to be flying to Hong Kong in May to begin a lovely trip to China. How many nights should we stay in Hong Kong and should we do it before or after the trip? Also, I went online and it looks like I can fly American or Cathay. Which one…
Q – Don’ know if you can answer this – wondering if I can win anything for stumping you. The wifey and I are off to Monte Carlo for a nine-night First Class cruise on one of the best lines out there. She is looking forward to dressing up and showing off her jewelry. She…
Q – My family is booked on a Holland America cruise to the Caribbean in January. We’ve sailed with them before and we have not yet made final payment. How are we notified if the price goes down? I’ve booked with some travel agents where cruise pricing was automatically adjusted. How does the system really…
Q – We are pretty much convinced that guides can make or break a trip. We are planning a 20th Anniversary with a vacation taking in Florence, Assisi, Bologna and Rome. We are staving at really nice hotels with amenities provided by our travel agent but we haven’t pulled the trigger yet on guide services…
Q – I have one, hopefully, simple question. How are people supposed to keep up with events in a country abroad they are going to be visiting in the near future? Sure there is lots of info on the internet but it all seems uneducated or anecdotal. Travel agents don;t seem very good at describing…
Q – We just saved about $400 by paying no attention to what a US Air agent told us on the phone and doing our own online research. It turns out that we were able to save considerably by departing Philly for the West coast on the early morning flight and leaving LA around dinner…
Q – Thanks to Japan Airlines mileage desk, and a business trip, my wife and I are headed to Tokyo for two weeks on the company. But, unfortunately, that does not extend to the six days we are on our own for a short vacation. We live in Denver where there is some good Japanese…
Q – OK, we’re in our forties, about three decades younger then your average blogger on this site. My goodness, if they are so afraid of getting robbed, hurt, or sick, why don’t they just stay and go to Starbucks for entertainment? But we trust your advice so put on your party hats and advise,…
