I am hiking the Inca Trail and have been given the opportunity to spend an extra night in A. C.. Is it worth it to stay an extra night and perhaps to go back to see Machu Picchu a second day?

hi everyone

thanks

I will be staying in Cusco for a bit before I hike the Inca Trail. Should I bring my own PowerBars, trail mix etc or can I buy all of that cheaply in Cusco?

We have been looking at car hire for a week as we are travelling from Palma Nova to Cala Millor and wanted a car for the 2nd week of our hoiday on the east coast. The prices on all types of car hire are are pretty steep - has anyone hired cars in resort and has that proved cheaper than over the Internet?

Also, we wanted to eat out at some 'genuine'Spanish restaurants - not just touristy - any recommendations - in palma nove or cala millor?

Hi There,

I am going to visit Pisa from 22th till the 24th of August. I am looking for a very cheap place to sleep. A hostel for example. I have found now a place that cost me 110 euro for 2 persons for 2 nights. Is it possible to find a cheaper place?

I hope any one can help me.

Thank you,

Manny

Hi everyone!
We will be coming into Seattle by train on 4 August around 9 p.m. and plan to stay at the Kalaloch Lodge on the 5th (it's a splurge!) Where do you suggest we stay the night of 4 Aug? We will be renting a car downtown so can go anywhere - but would prefer that our lodging is at least on the way to the Olympic Peninsula. We would also like it to be as cheap as possible without being infested by insects or other annoyances. We are a party of 4 including 2 children.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

We are planning on traveling around NZ in a motorhome, and I was wondering if anyone of you knows where I could find some good cheap motorhome deals.
Number of people: 2
Days: auckland on 14th Dec 09 arriving at christchurch on 2nd Jan 2010

The cheapest I have seen is roughly 2500 nz dollars (just over 900 UK pounds) Surely there is cheaper!

Thanks

Hi a group of us are going away this august on a club 18-30 holiday and i cant find a review for our hotel any where, and im starting to think that its not worth a review. The hotel is called "MARINER STUDIOS & APARTMENTS", if any one knows of a review or has been there please let me know. Also if i would like to know what sunny beach is like for nightlife, i've been to both Faliraki and Magaluf, and im guessing that sunny beach is more like faliraki?
Any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

Hello,
I have posted a few threads about the road trip I am planning for August, and have appreciated the help so far. I now have a tentative itinerary written out for about 3/4s of the trip, and would love any advice or suggestions you may have. Hours listed are estimated driving hours, and days marked with *** are routes I could especially use suggestions on.


Day 1: Norton, MA to NYC - 4 hours
Day 2: NYC to Philly - 2 hours
Day 3: Philly to Washington - 3 hours
Day 4: Washington to (somewhere around Charlotte, NC) - 5 hours ***
Day 5: Charlotte area to Acworth, GA (visiting family) - 5.5 hours
Day 6: Acworth, GA to Mobile/Montgomery area - 4 hours ***
Day 7: Mobile/Montgomery area to New Orleans - 4 hours
Day 8: New Orleans to Houston - 5.5 hours
Day 9-10: Houston to El Paso - 10.5 hours ***
Day 11-12: El Paso to Flagstaff - 8 hours ***
Tucson, Pheonix, Sedona route, or Albuquerque, Painted Desert route?
Day 13-14: Grand Canyon - 5 hours (?) Google maps shows that I would have to drive a circle around the canyon from Flagstaff to enter the park. I might adjust my route if this is true.
Day 15: Grand Canyon to Las Vegas / Lake Mead - 5-6 hours
Day 16-17: Las Vegas to Los Angeles - 4-6 hours (depending on traffic)
Day 18-19: Los Angeles to San Francisco - 6-7 hours
I have given myself 4 days in California, and will most likely include Yosemite, and another national park as well as the trip up the coast.
Day 20: San Francisco to Lake Tahoe/Reno - 4 hours
Day 21: Reno to Salt Lake City - 7 hours
Should I save time and head through Idaho straight to Yellowstone, or is Salt Lake City worth seeing?
Day 22-23: Salt Lake City to Yellowstone - 6 hours
I'd like to get a taste of the Rockies, but Colorado seems to be out of the way. Any ideas?
Day 24-25: Yellowstone to Badlands, SD - 10 hours
Still working on the return trip...

I am hoping to return to Norton, MA around day 30, although I will plan to stay 35 days to adjust for delays and extra stays in the most enjoyable places. Thanks for reading this far, and any suggestions, comments, related stories, etc. are appreciated!

HI there
We are staying in the old quarter at the Hotel Nena and then have to change to the Hotel Conrad on the other side of the city. What would be the easiest way of doing this? Could we use the ferry and then walk to the hotel from the pier?
Have heard that taxi prices get pretty expensive once you cross the bridge.
Thanks in advance.

My friends and I are planning on a trip to Bangkok by September of October of this year. But we haven't picked our hotel yet and the places where we would wanna go. But one thing for sure is, we'd like to go to pattaya and visit nongnuch and Mini Siam.

Can you please help find a secure, cheap, and clean accommodation. Preferrably close to MBK chatuchak and other shopping areas in bangkok.

In addition, can you please give me an option on where or how we can go to Pattay without costing us that much.


Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone ever been to a place in the Loire, not far from Chenonceau, called "Thesee-la-Romaine"? It's supposed to have Roman ruins, and a small museum with pottery and other artifacts.

Is it worth a short detour and an hour or so? I will be in the area, and if it's worth it, then I'll make time for it.

Thanks

Does anyone know what day (or days) of the week is market day in Strasbourg? (outdoor market/farmer's market/food market) We'll be there for a short visit in July.

Thank you.

I have been looking into travel from Geneva to Chamonix via Martigny. I read that the train trip is very scenic but I am having trouble getting a costing on the sbb site.
I have visitors coming from Australia in December and this sounded like a good idea. Does anyone know the price please? Thank you

Does anybody know how large is Gharah (Isola Legarah) island?

How would you rate this Hotel? Will it be too humid in January for a good holiday?

can we get a return trip by train from fuengirola to algeciras ?

Hi everyone, my partner and myself are planning our holiday in October this year. We have previously been to the Maldives, which was fantastic, but unfortunately our budget doesn't allow a trip there this year. However, we loved the feeling of being on a warm, sunny, island "in the middle of no-where" without too many people, so we are wondering if anyone can recommend a destination that can give us this, but preferably at a slightly less expensive price.. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)

i'm here in US,plan a vacation in the PHILIPPINES.stop over in hongkong 4days.do i need to go china consulate?i'am filipino national.

I'm in Wurzburg for 3 nights/4 days.

I shall explore the town itself, go to Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber (I know it's touristy but the history/architecture appeals...I shall visit early in the day) and possibly Bamberg (though I may go there from Nurnburg instead). From Nurnberg (3 nights, 3 days) I'll definitely visit Regensburg.

Given my interest in (early) history and archaeology, is there anywhere (accessible by public transport) which I might otherwise miss?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I'm thinking about traveling Vilnius - Kaunas - Nida - Riga as a straight route, staying overnight in Kaunas and taking a 7:35 bus to Nida next morning( ...by the way this is the only bus available to Nida/arriving at 11:45, on 27th August at http://www.118.lt/Pages/Transport/). I might spend a half day or so in Nida and leave for Riga to arrive by the evening of the day.

The problem is that I cannot find any direct bus to go to Riga from Nida. Is there no direct international bus line between these two cities as well as Kaunas and Riga? I have searched all possible websites I could think of for the routes but in vain.

Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much in advance.

Hi there:)

My husband and I are going to Bergen in two weeks time. We thought of doing the Norway in a Nutshell tour in a day (Bergen to Bergen)- as we will only be in Norway for 3 days in total. At that stage I will be 21 weeks pregnant, do you think it will be safe for me to do that tour? Is this route very bumpy?

Thanks for your help and advice:)

I am considering concluding my Greece Trip with a visit to Istanbul, Turkey as a finale, providing the airfare is acceptable. I have 3 questions:

1. For a first-time visit, is it suggested to take one of the many tours offered taking in the main sites( The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, etc)? or can one visit these all independently with ease.

2. What is the recommended number of days to see the city?

3. Has anyone taken one of the tours to Cappadocia from Istanbul using the night bus?

Hello,

I will be visiting Munich in early September with my wife (we're in our early 30s). I am curious to know about nice/interesting and lively neighborhoods in Munich where one can see cute stores, cozy cafes, decent restaurants, and feel the life of a typical Munich resident outside of the tourist traps of the old city center.

Also, because we are planning several 1-day trips, we will have a lot of evenings to spend in Munich (staying near the main rail station) within 15-min walk from Marienplatz. So I am curious to know of good areas to go to in the evening (don't care that much about dance clubs, but want to visit lively areas where people hang out in the evening).

i just saw an episode from coach trip where they went up the highest cable car ride.. is this place called titlis as i forgot where it was...

I have just heard from a friend who got back that the Jellyfish and seaweed were terrible. Is this true? We are headed to Fort Morgan the first week of August for our first trip to the beach and don't want the kids getting stung. Also any suggestions of things to do and see.

Hi.
I will be traveling to Sapporo in December and have come up with a list of places to go:
- Otaru
- Sapporo Beer Garden
- Ishyiy Chocolate Factory
- Sapporo Central Wholesale Market
- Old Hokkaido Govt Building
- Clock Tower
- Sapporo Brewery
- Historical Village
- Odori Park
- Genghis Khan
- Susukino

My problem is I don't know where exactly these places are and have problem grouping them according to convenience in movement. e.g. I should visit which places at the same time because they are within the same region etc...

Also, are there anymore must-go places that I should include?

Can someone help? Thanks!
