    Ceiling Fans - Any recommendations?

    I would warn you against the purchase of ceiling fans that are too cheaply made. Cheaply made fans quickly become a issue.......... 1. They cannot push enough air to do the job 2. They can often become noisy because of ill fitting parts. 3. They'll cost more money to run over...

    Europe itinerary-Anyone care to share?

    If you've never been to Europe then maybe you should hit up some of the top spots first? Fly into Amsterdam, swing through Brussels, hit Paris, then grab a Ryanair flight to Berlin or Prague? Depends on how long your trip is for, but if you have time I'd recommend focusing on longer stays in...

    Penang - any recommendations for hotels?

    Penang has two types of hotels.. beach resort or town centre.. which really isn't town but rather it has no beach front. For town centres, there's the Sheraton if you want to earn points.. but the rest have no major chain affiliations. For good values.. I would highly recommend The...

    Hi, 15 days is not such a long time that I would suggest trying to pack too much in, but that said, I think you could do the following: A lot of people suggest missing Osaka & heading straight to Kyoto (you can always do a day trip to Osaka from Kyoto if you want to visit it). I would...

    Mt Titlis or Jungfraujoch

    My pregnant girlfriends have been told by their doctors not to ride to the Junfraujoch based on the high altitude. Titlis is not that much lower, so I dont know if either would be appropriate for your wife. Another important factor in the choiice is what is the weather forecast. Can you wait...

    Bangkok Accomodation - Advice

    I recommend Khao Sarn Road, especailly if you're travelling alone. Best place to meet knew folk. Being on the skytrain route doesn't mean a big thing unless you are a shopping fad. Besides the Weekend Market, the skytrain doesn't go to any of the popular tourist attractions. Within walking...

    Cosmos Tours

    We took the same tour with Cosmos a few years ago. All I can say, it was "The Tour From Hell". . Hotels are absolutely horrible, food for the most part edible except for the hotel outside of Lucerne (in Fluelen). . That food was horrible. The dessert was an apple and the main dish was noodles...
