Hi, I'm spanish. I'm looking for a city I've seen just in pics. It's a city that must be in USA (or maybe in Canada, but I think it's USA). The city have got some lakes near (not necessary the Great Lakes) and there's a hospital whose building is circular. I would be pleased if anybody could tell me if know a city similar like that. It's important for me to find a person who lives there. Thanks

Hola, soy español. Estoy buscando una ciudad que sólo he visto en fotos. Es una ciudad que debe estar en USA (o quizás en Canadá, pero creo que es de USA). Tiene algunos lagos cerca (no necesariamente los GRandes Lagos), y hay un hospital cuyo edificio es circular. Agradecería que alguien pudiera decirme si conoce una ciudad parecida a esta. Es importante que encuentre a una persona que vive allí. Gracias.

Hi, a couple of years ago my wife and I bought a Hiace at Kings Cross market in Sydney Oz while we were travelling over there, and drove the Eastern Circle, 17000 kms then flogged it on our return. Is it poss. to do the same in USA, ie buy a wagon and then flog it 2 months later (in the States), bearing in mind I'd be a British holiday maker and going to be in USA for about 2 months. Also if it is poss. how does the insurance work out? Many thanks for any advice.

Does Grace not run the Kabayan any more? I lived in Palau until 2003 and wonder if she is still there?

Wondering if anyone had tips for travelling in America (family of four) at Christmas time. I want to got to Disneyland and Universal Studios and then to New York. What is best way to get to New York? Is flying expensive? Is there a rail service? I was thinking of hiring a car/motorhome but no prices online for Winter???

Any good ideas appreciated.

Does anyone have any rants or raves about liveaboards in Palau? We're headed there for a dive trip in July.

I have a flight booked from here in Australia to the USA for April 16th. It's a return flight due back on the 15th of June. The trip at the moment is on a regular Visa waiver and I probably only have about $5000 with me to make it.. ( which is plenty as I know a lot of people in the US who will take care of me while I'm there for food, lodging etc..) It's a holiday so I don't plan to work on the trip legally or otherwise. I also have friends in Canada and wouldn't mind crossing into there also to see them. What would I need to do to be able to do that and is there any Visa or anything I have to apply for?

Secondly I'd like to spend as much time as possible overseas as I can.. Is there a legal way of not taking my plane home in June as planned but instead going over to Canada and taking a new flight back to Australia which I pay for when I'm there whenever the time is up? How long can I stay in Canada without having to go home? Anyway if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I don't really know any of the rules. Cheers.

Hello, I’m Paul.....

Im planning a coast to coast trip to the USA between 31/05/08 and 12/07/08 starting in New York and finishing in LA, with my girlfriend and would really be grateful for any advice given. I have a few questions....

Is six weeks long enough to travel?
Is £3000 excluding flights for 2 people enough cash?
What accommodation would you recommend?
What methods of travel are best?
Does anyone know a fairly pleasant but cheap hotel in New York?

We were looking at Greyhound and Amtrack but not sure which is the best option, kinda worried about the accommodation situation too. Another thing is my girlfriend is 20 and is able to drive, is this possible in the USA? She would only drive for around 2 weeks.

Thinking of visting New York, Niagra Falls, Chicago, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon.... do you recommend any other places?

Any general advice?

Thank you very much, any replies would be grateful.

I'm selling our roundtrip airline tickets for two to Palau from Manila at a bargain. i'm only selling it for 8,500 pesos or US$200 each plus around US$70 for the taxes as compared to the cheapest airfare of US$330 each on Asian Spirit Airline. I got this ticket in the form of a certificate but couldn't fly out as i'm strapped down with work while the expiration date nears. It actually expires at the end of November so hopefully there'd be some takers. :) btw, since this tickets are in the form of certificates, they're fully transferrable so there won't be any problems.

Let me know if ur interested. contact me at my mobile number +63 917 8983055 or send me an e-mail Super_883055@yahoo.com.
Thanks!

I'm interested in visiting both Palau and Saipan as part of a cross-Pacific trip in December/January. Will be in Japan visiting friends first. Is there direct air from Tokyo to Palau? Likewise for Saipan - which would it make sense to visit first? The Pacific is so vast... what seems obvious geographically may not be doable depending on flight routing. Any advice appreciated.

Does anyone know of any good hotels in Koror? I'll be there in August!
Thanks

Hi, I am going to Koror in November and wonder what is the weather like in Palau in November? has anyone taken Asian Spirit? How is the flight? Anyone experience flight delays so far?

In terms of cost, how much is expected for a simple dinner? What about Supermarkets, are things expensive?
And I will be staying in Malakal, near Sams Tours. Are there any snorkeling sites or diving sites around the area? Is the surface choppy around Blue Corner and Peleliu?

thanks

thanks.

Hi,

Would like to know what is the cheapest way to get to Palau from Singapore? Or any package tour from Taiwan or Philippines?

I check the asian spirit airline and found out that from Manila to Palau. It's around 480 USD per person for 3 days stay in Palau.

Any cheaper option?

Please advise

Thanks

Hi, can you please help me by giving me some advise as whether Ngerbeched is
close to Koror and if you have ever heard of Yuki Hotel?
Also, is there any chance of going to beaches nearby this place or Koror?
Thank you very much & best regards

If I take a hotel in Koror, is there a possibility to swim and snorkel just near Koror without taking a snorkeling tour ?
What are prices in Palau, for example in restaurants and supermarkets?
Is diving in Palau also for beginners (for example in Blue corner) ?

Dear all, happy new year!
I am going to Palau in February and, looking for accommodation, I had a good offer from a Yuhi Hotel. Does anybody know anything about this motel. Can you share any experience?
Thnx for the help & Best greetings

I am planning t visit Asia in March for 2 weeks and primarly I wanted to travel Philippines, but I have heard that Palau is the best in underwater life. So I am considering to replace my plans to visit Bohol and instead of ii to go to Palau for a couple of days. Is Palau much better for snorkeling and diving then Philippines (Bohol), or it is almost comparable ? Is diving in Palau also for beginners (for example in Blue Corner) ? Is 5 days enough to visit the best places in Palau (especially snorkeling and a little bit diving) ? Another option is 7 days for Palau, but then I would have only 6 days for all Philippines (El Nido in Palawan + Donsol for whale sharks).... If I add more days for Palau, i would have to reduce time for Philippines... What would you recommend me?

I am planning to go to Palau and 'd like to bring my inflatable boat(10feet) with 3.5 horse power gas engine.
Is there a regulation or permit for driving around with my boat in Palau?

hello ,i want to go in palau in julyand want to know how is the weather there in that period

thank you

Given that Palau is only a few hundred km from Philippines are there any ferries running between these two countries.

I just found out that there's no McDonald's or any int'l fast food chain in Palau. Is there any cheap restaurant/cafetaria/canteen/foodstall in Palau? How much is the average cost of budgeted meals?

Thanks,
P

I am considering taking a short-term job in Palau, but don't want to go without my kitties! Does anyone know the regulations for bringing animals into Palau? I can't seem to find anything on any of the US government websites, or the Palau embassy page.

Thanks.
