Archive for April, 2009
Looking to travel to Mexico or Hawaii, searching for a good reliable, safe website with good travel deals for the summer.
you could go to AAA, Expedia or Travelocity. I just booked my trip to Cancun and compare pricing between the three sites, the best fares I could find was on Travelocity.

We have to keep the cost for everything under $20,000 Canadian for everyone. Anyone with ideas for costs would be great.
A family trip of 11 of us. 5 adults and 6 kids between 11 yrs and 17 yrs old. Which part of Hawaii is a good place to go to. This is a once in a lifetime trip for all of us. It will be for Christmas 2007.
Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
A day or 2 b4 Christmas the hotel rates & airfares increase significantly until Easter, in March. April – May is cheaper also until the beginning of June, (a couple of weeks in) when the rates of everything go up again, but not quite as much as Dec. 25, -March because it's winter in a lot of places. 11 people, 5 adults X $1500/wk + 6 kids (ask about kid's discount, I think it's 12 yrs. old, but I may be wrong)$1000/wk = $13,500 american – whatever the exchange rate is now. Oahu is the most inexpensive & best for the kids. Maui would be the best but way more expensive.$1500/wk is conservative for adults it's easy to go $2-$3000/wk for adults, but you have to do your homework & take advantage of all the deals, you may be able to haggle group rates because of your large party of 11(group discounts) Don't be embarrassed to ask for all the discounts you can get, just like buying a car, get the best price or tell the salesperson you're going to check w/another company,& it will pay off. Make reservations as early as possible, last 2-3 years we set records so don't expect the prices to go down, they will only rise every year a small percentage. Aloha, See you in Paradise! You can get bus passes for a week, (cheap) don't have to rent a car for the whole trip, I guess you need a van which is more expensive. Best bus system in the US Award couple of years(great bus system $2 one way for adults $1 or.75 for students.Bus goes to Pearl Harbor, Ala Moana Shopping Center, Aloha Stadium Swap Meet(flea market across from Pearl Harbor, good for souveniers)Bus goes all around the island but takes awhile for longer trips bc/ of the stops. You can walk all over Waikiki, only 2 miles long, 2 main streets, Kuhio Ave., & Kalaukaua Ave., runs parallel 1-2 blocks apart.http://gohawaii.about.com/cs/oahuactivities/a/101oahu_2.htm
Traveling or moving to Waipi'o, Hawaii, if I bring my dog will he have to be held in quarintine? Any laws or rules we may have to know about.
Dogs are put into quarintine for usually three months in Hawaii, they have very strict rules, so as to not pass along any diseases, to the other animals on the islands, especially the mongoose, which eats mice and rats and keeps the rodent population down and under control. The cost to have your dog put in quarintine is expensive, you pay for the entire quarintine stay. Best wishes!
We are looking for a week long trip, Hawaii, Alaska, somewhere beautiful.
try the travel agencies. They have some of the best networks known to humans. The can get you deals cheaper then you can get and they still make money because of how they do it. They mostly work on commissions and only get paid if you book with them. It is a very competitive business and the hotels will cut them very good rates to fill the rooms. Most hotels need at least $50.00 a day from each room they have. every empty room they have cuts into the bottom line and that is why they will seek the help of travel companies.
there will be 7 of us wanted to take a vacation to Oahu Hawaii i want something cheap with the whole package ticket, hotel and car.Where i"m checking their expensive for each person.
thank you everyone that helped.
There is no secret, magic website with the "cheapest" airfares. You have to do the research, and be as flexible as possible regarding travel dates.
Check the travel sites (airgorilla, expedia, priceline, travelocity, etc.) and also check the airline websites. I have often (not always, but often) found the best fares on the airline websites. Remember to check airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that do not use the travel sites. They don’t fly to Hawaii, but you MAY be able to use them to get to LAX or SFO at a discount.
Seven people MAY be enough to qualify for a group fare, but you have to call the airline (talk to a human) or use a real travel agent. Again, be as flexible as possible regarding travel dates.
Also check with the "Vacations" options for the airlines, and for the hotel you plan to use. Someties you can get the hotel for only a bit more than the airfare (or get the airfare at a big discoutn via the hotel).
Examples are, below, but most airlines and hotel chains have similar programs:

Good luck!

I'll think of some more in a minute……………..
Some oil company experts celebrate that the profits of gasoline companies demonstrate that not every company is suffering from the recession.
Those who have worked for companies like Exxon Mobile have enjoyed luxurious vacation packages to Hawaii, Bermuda, Caymen Islands, Paris, Tokyo, you name it. It's an amazing flow of money.
When asked if these profits are due to gasoline prices, they smile and say "don't be silly, it's just one of those coincidences, ya know?"
It's because oil suppliers, mostly the OPEC nations, are in a cartel that sets its own prices and are not subject to the natural market laws due to lack of competition. All of the OPEC nations have nationalized their oil production fields, therefor stifling competition and letting them sell oil at whatever price they want.
Not to mention the fact that, despite the vast increases in demands for oil, with the rise of China and India, oil production has remained essential flat. The nationalized companies are not investing in industry infrastructure, they are using profits to leverage government spending. Iran is buoyed almost exclusively by oil profits. They spend the profits on government programs like developing nuclear power or welfare programs but don't don't invest in new refineries or derricks. This is further compounded by corruption in places like Iraq, another country with nationalized oil, where corrupt government officials are funnelling profits into their pockets instead of investing back into the industry.
But what about the American oil companies? the problems facing the oil companies is that they are struggling under the weight of a vast government regulatory bureaucracy. Not a single new refinery has been built in the U.S in 30 years. There's too much red tape. So the oil companies are left with windfall profits and few places to invest in. That is also why the oil companies would rather put new new refineries (and the subsequent jobs that come with them) in foreign markets where there aren't so many draconian laws that prevent them from running their business. The effects of these laws also leaves the American oil infrastructure remarkably delicate, as we saw what happened when hurricane Katrina came to the shore.
So what do we do? Well when it comes to OPEC, there's not a whole lot we can do, short of military action. As we are seeing with Iran, U.N sanctions are usually paper tigers that do little to actually spur a nation to action. What we can do is as follows
A: build warmer relations with Russia, a major oil producer and a non-OPEC nation. Despite the fact that Russia's industry is nationalized, we can at least try to negotiate with them a bargain in a manner that couldn't be done with a nation that is the member of the OPEC cartel
B: Invest in Canada. The Canadian wilderness has more oil stores than the entire Middle East COMBINED. And because global warming is reduing permafrost in Canada, expect to see Canada become a global power in the coming decades as their oil production skyrockets. I betcha didn't know that there are very positive aspects to global warming, did you?
C: repeal draconian regulations that encourages oil companies to invest in their CEOs rather than invest in their infrastructure. That means repealing the feel good environmental laws that places a wilderness as having a higher value than the poor people of America who are struggling with high gas prices. That means letting America drill in the Alaskan wilderness, which has vast repositories of oil, like Canada. For every elk that doesn't have to live with a pipeline somewhere in its vast range, that's 10 American families that are being crunched with high gas prices. And I think a child's life is more important to me than an elk's comfort.
D: reduce our dependency on the OPEC cartel. The cartel may be sitting on its hands now, but when its top buyers begin going somewhere else, they will be forced to act if they want to keep their oil-buoyed governments alive. That means developing infrastructure to drive the cost of production down.
Travel and Change your Life.
