This thread is still alive after so many years. Just thought I will drop by to say hi. I was active in this thread a few years back. The Wife and I have 5 cats. Oldest is 8+ and with us for 7 years. Youngest is 3+. All adopted. kxbc.blogspot.com

Pinky Don't go in the later part of Oct as most of the hotels and restaurants would be closed for winter. Also less ferry crossings. Try for late Sep or early Oct.

Blue Really? That's strange cos I had a cost breakdown right from the start so I had never felt they are not transparent with their prices.

Blue The Classic tours are organised by a few tour agencies and also sold by other agencies. You can check out Go Tours and Chat Tours. They do the tours, going to almost the same places and even staying in the same hotels. The tours are out of Athens into various parts of inland Greece...

Blue Giorgos Venois ([email protected]) and Barbara Vaccarella ([email protected]) of Aegean handled my trip details. They are very patient. I prefer Giorgos over Barbara but they are both good.

Hi Blue There are actually 2 ferry terminals. The cable car is at the old terminal but your ferry will not berth there. It will berth at the new ferry terminal which is very far away from the new terminal. The donkey thing is for fun only. Not meant to carry you to your hotel door step. But...

Blue You can see from this photo how high up the hotels are from the port. http://www.jimdiamondmd.com/photogallery/Santorini1.jpg

Blue, I am quite baffled about your experience with Agean as I had received good service and the prices were good. Hotel accomodation was below the hotel's rate and the ferry tickets were exactly the same as those published in the ferry company's sales booth. Anyway, pls take my advice and...

Hi blue Sorry for not replying earlier as I did not track this topic. I cannot really remember Agean's quote but I find it reasonable. Your quote may have been higher as you may have opted for more expensive accomodation and ferry tickets. I went for economy ferry tickets and "C" class...

I don't like Qatar Airways. The planes I flew from SIN to DOHA and back were badly maintained and the toilets were stained and dirty. No individual in-flight entertainment by seat even though the flight is more than 8 hours. You view movies on the big screen like in the good old days. Only thing...

Air France is good value for money. Direct flight.

I used Aegean Thesaurus Travel (recommended by fellow forumer) when I visited Greece in Oct 06. They are good. Check out their website. http://www.thesaurus.gr/index.htm I booked their 4 day classic land tour which was professionally conducted. The hotels during those few nights were good...

A t-shirt from Cat Welfare Society perhaps? A catnip ball (from Pet Lovers Centre, $6.90)? Voucher from pet shop? A fishing rod toy? Cat spa? Cat tree? A lot of things to give...

This is the Rick Steves website. His travel guides are much better but you can get a flavour here first. If you are old enough, you may remember seeing his travel shows on TV in the 1980s. TCS/Starhub don't show them anymore. http://www.ricksteves.com/

Roger, your topic about F&E Europe makes my mind go spin around non stop again. I have done Spain and France on 2 separate trips (each trip at least 12 days) F&E just with my wife so I may be able to offer you some info. On your planning to drive. Don't drive if you don't feel...

You have 30 days. Do 3 countries, 10 days each. Start with France, then Spain then probably Switzerland. Don't do more than that. Take the time to explore each country. Take it slow and steady. Better still. Just do 2 countries: France (sweet, romantic, culture) and Spain (colourful, passion...

Hi Mint, Yup, I got your mail. Thank you for the info.

Thank you Mint. I checked my mailbox but have not received. Can I trouble you to re-send? Thank you.

Hi Mint Thinking of going Greece also. Your itinerary looks good, esp the 4-day guided tour part. Check with you. Does the price of the guided tour as listed in their website include accomodation as well? Thank you.

1) Did not stay in Grand Hotel. Was told that unless you pay an obsene sum of money, your hotel room will more or less be the same, ie, small toilets. I was at Toyoko-Inn Hokudai Mae, a chain of hotel spread all over Japan. Can book via web http://www.toyoko-inn.com/eng/ . Good value. Only 9k...
