The rest of Q&A

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 bad weather while small planes generally go around it? Just wondering of there are is any information out there on this subject. We fly a lot and we’ll keep flying, no matter what, but I like to know if I should go smaller or bigger if given the chance.

A – You are far off base on the 747. Based on miles actually flown, this is one of the safest auircraft in aviation history. Where the statistics become meaningful is when you look at really smaller jets and prop planes. The fact is that aircraft that carry thirty or fewer passengers have a fatality rate that is about three times that of larger jets.Now, when we look at the safety records of the most popular jet types used commercially, the big boys, we find very insignificant safety discrepencies based on aircraft type. Two of the safest airlines on record, for instamce, are Quantas, which now flies the 380 and the 747, and Southwest which flies the considerably smaller 737 exclusively. Some of us who write about this stuff have been surprised that the public did not react at all when smaller twin engine aircraft like the 767 and the 777 started flying long distance Atlantic and Pacific routes. But the fact is that safety experts now rate the new engines so highly that thefre is little appreciable difference between crossing the ocean in a four-engine versus a two-engine aircraft from a safety point of view. The spelling errors are deliberate – we want to be sure you are following us and we like to remind you that this site is maintained by humans.

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 we are giving a try to this website sbo bet, it’s going well so far.

We were wondering if you have ever seen the payout percentage for the casinos and how it might compare to our former home town of Philadelphia where we were regulars at Atlantic City? Just wondering if this kind of information is readily available to people in the hospitality or travel industries and if you might share it? We know that right now every online gambler is looking for new casinos to play. Then you should definitely visit star slots to experience new level of gambling.

A – Yes, every Monday a large black limo pulls up to our office and a guy named Guido gets out and hands us the actual slot machine payout statistics, this way we know what is what we can win playing gambling games. And this guy gives us advice for every new slot game like the upcoming baccarat, saying it is best to find the best ways to play baccarat before entering the real game. Some of the details of his last visit are sketchy especially for the new slots that just recently developed, but in general it is our understanding that the payout in Las Vegas is between 92-97%. The older casinos on Fremont street and off the main drags have higher payouts, some guests will prefer play in those type of casinos instead, or even best, at high reputation online Poker sites like Pkv Games. The highest payouts are usually from online casino services. On our research wombat casino is currently leading for the highest payouts casino. Our sense is that the payout rate in Atlantic City has started at around 85% and is rarely set above 92% or 93%. These are, of course, closely held secrets but you can bet on the fact that the more local old timers on the casino floor the better the payout.

But not all in las VEGAS is about gambling, check about these other fun (and mostly free) activities

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 travel and I anticipate really being hampered by my Israeli stamps. Any long-term solution to this? I know you can ask the Israelis not to stamp your passport.

A – We think the permanent fix for you is going to be one of the State Department’s best kept secrets – Americans are not necessarily limited to one passport. You can get a second passport. It looks exactly like your first passport and it has been designed exactly for the situations you describe. It is an extra fee and it will be issued for a limited period of time but it will help you avoid any future unpleasantness.

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 in the $1500 a night range for something memorable.

A – Well, we’re afraid that $1500 won’t quite cut it. David has built a lovely resort in the Bahmian out-island group, the Exunas. His place is called Musha Cay and it is one of the most expensive places on earth, so you can have an idea of why you will be needing much more money than just $1500. There are five lovely cottages and any number of small boats for exploring the two dozen or so islands in the immediate vicinity, you can enjoy of the luxury holiday cottages in Woolacombe are perfect for long days by the sea. And if you are looking for other option, you should have a visit at Hotel Alpenstolz. Read Hotel Alpenstolz Article for more information. Copperfield has tried to spread the word that the waters in this area have life-prolonging minerals. Some of the super-rich have bought into this. Currently, Musha Cay is only sold to groups of up to 12 at an all-inclusive price of $37,500. That is a daily rate, of course, just imagine for a whole week. In  this case, if you don’t have that kind of many to spend in a vacation, we suggest to look for affordable places, it doesn’t have to be expensive for it be perfect, just be patient.

When planning a holiday, one of the decisions to be made is where you will stay. Accommodations can be one of the biggest expenses and also can set the tone for your holiday. If you are traveling with family then an affordable choice is a holiday park.

Holiday parks are perfect for families as they may be able to offer you connecting rooms or even a cabin with bedrooms and a kitchen. Many holiday parks have a space for your caravan if you want to bring one along. Another option in the park might be a hotel room or camping in the park. You can learn more here about Fairway Holiday Park Isle of Wight.

The cost of these accommodations is sure to be a bargain compared to most hotels. The added bonus is that if you have a self-catered kitchen you may be able to cook together as a family with fresh ingredients bought at a local market or caught on your fishing line. Not only will it make the holiday more special it can also help you save on expenses. Holiday parks are more than a place to sleep. Most parks have amenities to make your stay fun for everyone in the family. Swimming pools, either indoors or out, can be a fun way to relax. Well you can read more here for appointing the best swimming pool contractor. A “splash park” is a newer feature offered by some parks with fountains and fun water activities.

Holiday parks might offer entertainment as well. The type of entertainment available depends on the sort of park you choose. A park geared toward adults might have dinner shows, a bar, bands or entertainers. A park with family activities might offer daytime activities such as crafts, storytelling, or sports competitions.

Also included on the grounds of some parks are tennis courts, areas for other sports, or bicycle rentals. They may also have sporting equipment for you to use. Most parks have a children’s playground where the kids can spend hours playing the sun and making friends.

If Dad wants to challenge the kids to a video game in the arcade there is likely to be one at the holiday park. You might also be able to play air hockey or rack up the balls on a pool table. At some parks there is a book exchange for travelers or an internet café. Some parks are now even offering wireless internet so you can stay connected.

Holiday parks are not just in the countryside. You can find them near the sea, in or near the city, or on a farm. Whatever your destination, chances are that a holiday park is nearby. Each park is unique in style, location, amenities, and the accommodations offered. With variety of choices available it is easy to find the right place for your holiday.

Most family holiday camps have an entertainment venue. This is likely to be open all day; with children’s party games, story telling, and activities to keep the younger members of your holiday party amused. In the evenings the entertainment venue will have a more adult theme, with a bar, singers and maybe a cabaret.

The park will be geared up for families, so you’ll find plenty for the young holiday makers to do. You will almost certainly have an adventure playground to explore, some of these adventure playgrounds are so big it’ll take all week for the children to have a go on everything!

Everybody loves a swim, so your holiday park will have a swimming pool too. Sometimes you’ll get an outdoor pool. Sometimes an indoor pool. If you’re lucky you’ll get both an indoor and an outdoor pool. A new arrival to holiday camps are the “splash areas”. These aren’t really a swimming pool – but lots of fountains and waterfalls which have a tendency to cascade over the unsuspecting paddler!

The obligatory amusement arcade will feature in the main entertainment area within the holiday park, and will contain the latest in video games and slot machines – you’ll also get games like pool and air hockey, so watch out dad, you’re likely to get shown up!

Remember there are hundred of different family holiday camps out there, each one will offer slightly different facilities. So if you definitely want a indoor swimming pool, make sure your chosen park has one before you book -you don’t want to be disappointed on your perfect family holiday.

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 incredible seafood place that has the best sunsets but it’s way out. I just can’t find it when I Google it. Any ideas?

A – We think you are probably thinking about one of the Yachties favorites – the Flying Fishbone. It is way out there on the edge of the water but the local taxi drivers all know it. Huge platters of seafood that was caught by the boats next door. If you call them in advance to let them know you are headed their way, ask for one of the tables that actually sits in the water.

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, but the island is in the Atlantic Ocean not the Caribbean. Mid-summer is the time to visit for the best beach time. Remember, you are talking about an island that is, essentially, off the coast of North Carolina.

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 is the “slight effort to get to” Grand Saline. But if you want to be around the seen and be seen crowd Baie de St. Jean is tres chic and steps away from otherworldly dining.

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 near our home. When we think Caribbean we think of unwinding and being able to take off our suits without creating a small riot. We are rather upscale travelers and were wondering which islands or cruise ports are suited to our preferences? If any?

A – No problem at all. Nude or clothing optional beaches are becoming more and more popular. There are even some serious “clothing optional” tour operators who include nude beaches on their worldwide itineraries. (more…)

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 we’re at some kind of buffet. We don’t mind spending up to $500 per night for something nice. Should we go with her recommendation?Love the site but I wonder if we’re the first dummies who ever considered a vacation in Quebec? None of my friends have been there.

A – We actually think that you are far ahead of the travel curve. Combining Montreal and Quebec is an ideal alternative to crossing the pond and you will find some of the best neighborhoods along with world class cuisine if you prepare adequately for the trip. (more…)

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 privileges through the Punta Islita. (more…)
