Travel to Africa 20100125071501
Africa is not just big, it is HUGE. You have to narrow it down to get more definite answers. If you are looking for an African Safari experience, the following countries would be great for you: Kenya Tanzania South Africa Uganda For Primate Safaris including tracking Gorillas and chimpanzees, I suggest Uganda Rwanda Congo Places to stay vary from International chain hotels like Intercontinental, Sheraton, Hilton to small back parking lodgings. It all depends on your budget. If you can let us know which countries you are looking to go to, we can narrow down the details for you. Egypt and Morocco are two awesome destinations in Africa too..

Designer Hotels 20090822074313
So brand names in the hotel industry used to mean Sheraton, Westin, Intercontinental, Marriott, etc. What makes a hotel brand name now? A designer hotel, designed by a renowned fashion designer. Missoni, Diesel, Christian Lacroix, Bulgari, Versace have all ventured into the hospitality industry. Technically, I would say it's called interior design. Or maybe cross-marketing between the original hotel and the designer brand? I'm not really sure. Regardless, it's definitely stylish and luxury accommodation. But what makes me really wonder is, what are the occupancy rates like? I personally find it a little excessive to stay at a Bulgari boutique hotel. The flashy jewels may blind me. But hey, what do I know. For a complete list of designer stamped hotels, http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/live/article/262166--5-favourite-high-fashion-hotels. Have you stayed in any of these hotels?

Hotel bidding advice 20090525074437
Maria Joe sat down with VIRA, the president of Bid2Travel.com, which provides Bid2travel bidding advice. VIRA: Why would anyone want to use Bid2travel? ROSE: You'll save a lot of money. VIRA: Yes, but who wants to get up in time for a 6:00 a.m. flight? You can't pick your departure times or airline or anything like that. ROSE: Well, just use Bid2travel for air tickets when you're going to India or traveling at the last minute. You'll save hundreds of dollars. When you can plan your U.S. travel well in advance, Bid2travel may not be your best bet. But always bid on Bid2travel hotels. That's easy and you don't have to get up at 4:00 a.m. VIRA: Sure, but I don't want to stay in some crummy place. ROSE: No, no, no. Bid for three or four-star hotels. You pick the quality. You'll end up at a Hyatt, Hilton, Holiday Inn Crown Plaza, Sheraton, Marriott, or Doubletree-someplace like these.

Letters: Return of a Favorite 20090515194706
To the Editor: Regarding, “Personal Journeys: Meals Worth a Flight (Or a Cab Ride)” by Mimi Sheraton (April 26): What a pleasure to see an essay again on the back page. For many, the absence of the personal essay in the Travel section has felt like the death of friends with whom we’ve corresponded for years. Ms. Sheraton’s musings made me hungry, less for eel and bauernwurst, than for reading about a fellow traveler’s thoughts and adventure. Please bring back the Sunday essay. Roscoe F.

Bangkok Shopping 20090227071605
Well, there are so many shopping places in Bangkok. If you are looking for a place to buy a good watch.There are available in some well known shopping mall like Central, Siam Paragon, or Central World .Those places are expensive in my point of view but quality is good because mostly, they sell brand name stuffs. Some places sell copy watches like night market (Pat Pong or Suan Lum Night plaza )It is also available on the pavement near big hotel like Orchid Sheraton hotel or Shangri-La Hotels but the vendors might show only pictures of product once you really ask for the modern you like they will show you because it is illegal to sell copy watch in Thailand. Price range from 500 Baht up to the 2000 Baht but be sure you choose the right one because real fake . For tailor made in Bangkok.There are so many places on Sukhumvit Road, on Khaosan Road and so on.

Hotel Vouchers Pass it forward fellow travelers! 20090102074329
Hello there, My name is V. I just graduated from a university in Bangkok. I am a Starwood Privilege card holder and the membership comes with several vouchers (dining, spa, free stay etc.) to be used at its luxurious up-scale hotels in Bangkok. Now I have 2 vouchers which will expire on 31 January 2009. These vouchers give me the following benefits if I stay for four nights before 31 January 2009: Voucher #1 Stay in the luxurious river-side Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel and Towers and save extra 5600 Thai Baht (approximately USD 160) cheaper than the best available rate! Voucher #2 Stay in the luxurious downtown The Westin Grande Sukhumvit, Bangkok and save extra 7600 Thai Baht (approximately USD 217) cheaper than the best available rate! As I enjoy living in my own house in Bangkok, chances are I will have to throw these vouchers down the waste bin pretty soon. So Id like to ask if anyone would like buy these vouchers at the modest prices.
