San I felt safe roaming in SF when I was there recently. Shopped around Union Square till abt 9pm before catching the public transport back to hotel. Just avoid going to the Civic Centre/City Hall area at night time. But when my wife went to US 8 or 9 years back, she and her frens was...

lynntsh yes, good to buy travel insurance. i alwys buy when i go on holiday (except to M'sia). And in US, like what Stevis said, the medical cost is very high. I travelled with CTC recently to West Coast too. And the tour consultant strongly recommend that I get the travel insurance. Even...

M no worries. i shall just get whatever that i need from Target in Anaheim then. tks.

Hi M Based on your info, there's lots of things to do at LV. Since i only have 1 full day and 1 nite free time there, will give those optional tours a miss. Ya, Rivieria is located at the north side of the strip, so a bit of distance to travel down the strop. Will probably get those day pass...

kfkbmel & M Thanks for the insights on locks. M, sorry that you gotta repost from the archive (appreciate that). I vaguely remember reading that post that's why I'm confused when my friend told me any lock also can. Whereas my tour leader said any combination lock will do (i.e. no need...

M Great to know there's Carls Jr near HICC. Cos my wife wants to try that (she never tried in Singapore though. haha). Maybe can consider that as one of our dinners. Probably won't go all the way to factory outlet while in SF (since I will be visiting 2 factory outlets on the way to LV -...

Hi M Thanks so much for the info/looking for the info. HICC is booked by my travel agency loh. Lots of travel agencies use that hotel to what I know. Sianz. Must be cos it's cheap that's why. :P Btw, what's the "MapEasy" you mentioned? Great to know there's at least a Walgreen nearby...

Hi M Just found out that I'll most likely stay at Holiday Inn Civic Centre (in SF) and Riviera Hotel (in LV). Understand that there's lots of homeless pple, drug addicts around Holiday Inn Civic Centre. So kinda worry if they will bother us, especially when i've a kid in toll. Location wise...

Janice Don't be worried over our comments on direct flight. I think it depends on individuals. Some prefer non-stop flight so that they can have undisturbed rest. Furthermore the seats on direct flight are more spacious. Hence, more comfy for you. In fact, my friend suggested that I take...

San Not taking the direct flight. Mine will have transit at Tokyo too. Like yours, it's 1 hour transit. Me too prefers flight with transit so that can break the long flight into 2 section. At least can get out of plane to catch fresh air.

San Ya, another 3 more weeks to my trip. So excited yet worry about the long flight and jetlag thingy for my gal. Sure, will update you when I'm back. Fory our NW flight, how long will the transit be in Tokyo? What time will you be reaching LA? I'm taking SQ and the dep time is 9.40am...

M Thanks again for your suggestion on travelling with kids. Appreciate that. San I'll be travelling on 15 Nov. Gg to LA, LV and SF. Your flight is very early. Where are you gg to?

M Thanks for the advice. Luckily me going to the west, from SIN to LAX. Will remember your tips and hopefully my girl won't jetlag for too long. Probably go get a travel jug too. At least then don't have to worried about hot water. San When are you travelling? I hope my girl won't...

Hi everyone Would like to find out if hotels provide kettle for boiling of hot water? I'll be travelling with my 2 years old kid and need boiled water for milk. Also, I heard that we need at least 3 days to adjust to the jetlag? is it true? TIA.

haven't gone for package tour with chan brothers before. had wanted to book their US tours but there's no more early bird discount and hence looked for other agencies since the itinerary is about the same. in the end, booked with CTC. their flight timing is better than chan brothers. price...

GS Is the 11 days USA package the one that can be extended to 14 days to cover Vancouver? I was at CTC travel fair yesterday and saw this 11 days package that I'm quite interested in. The staff told me departure is at 9.45am for SQ flight. Not sure if the package is the same as yours...

coldwinter Based on the feedback i gathered so far, Caversham Wildlife is much better than Perth Zoo. Some even say our Zoo is better than the one in Perth.

DollieBride Thanks for the recommendation. It's very useful. In your opinion, is it worth to travel all the way down to Albany? Where did you stay when at Albany? For the Corica Apple Strudel, can we just pop in the shop and buy (to eat it there, not for bringing back to SG).

claerwen I will be going for 7 days. Leaving on 6 May. Next time I should plan for at least a 10 days Oz trip if I am going on F&E again. So you will only be in GC ah? Besides the 'worlds', where else will you be visiting?

claerwen. Thanks. At least now I don't have to ponder over the licence thingy. Save the conversion money too
