Q. I've booked a holiday to Venice in September, and I'm staying close to Marco-Polo Airport, so not in the city itself (due to it being MUCH cheaper). I've a water bus service from the airport to the main island, but that only works as one round trip; don't want to spend that much everyday! The plan being to go into Venice most days. What does anyone suggest to cheaply get in and out of the city everyday? Cheers. A. If you're staying close enough to the airport to get there conveniently, you can take the bus from the airport to Piazzale Roma. The ATVO buses run directly to Piazzale Roma in about 20 minutes for 5 euro (9 euro for a return ticket). Schedules here: http://www.atvo.it/index.php?lang=en&area=23&menuid=35 There is also the Aerobus run by ACTV which has several stops along the way to Piazzale Roma and may be convenient for your hotel depending on where it is: http://www.actv.it/en - you want the schedule & map for land route Route urbana 5....

Q. I recently booked a trip to New York to visit family for New Years. I included a hotel stay in my package. I am now planning on staying with a family friend therefore no longer need the hotel reservation. I looked at the site I booked with and the only way to do so is if you cancel the whole package which I don't want to do. Also, it says the hotel reservation is nonrefundable. A. If you booked through almost any travel website except the hotels website you are out of luck. Expedia, Priceline, orbit, etc. all of the travel websites are like a travel agent. You pay them, they pay the hotel. You could try to call them but I'm sure they will tell you no based on the fact it is non-refundable. When you book through any of these companies you will get a standard room type which means anything that is leftover. No preference on smoking or non or how many beds. Always try to stay away from these methods of booking rooms because you may get a better rate but you might not get what...

Hotels in Lara Beach are all inclusive so not sure if we would be able to purchase drinks etc. How about any other areas close to Antalya? A.

Q. I am 16 years old and I live in North York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. What age do you have to be to get a work permit? A. You can work outside of school hours at 16. To work full time you need to graduate high school or turn 18, whichever comes first. When I was a teenager it was possible to get a permit to leave school early (at 14 or 15). They would give those to people who just could not do school. At that time you were only required...

Q. I'm working to put together a plus sized teen pageant in Atlanta, but I'm having a hard time finding a list of hotels that have conference rooms or hotel rooms. Are there any websites that could help me? Or is there anything I should be looking up? I tried looking up "hotel ballrooms in atlanta" and I didn't get much. Thoughts? A. I work for a great hotel chain. Marriott. Nearly half of the Marriotts in Atlanta have meeting rooms and there are at least three I know of that have conferance halls, as for a ballroom? Look up J.W. Marriott online and then find local sales directors and contact them ! Other hotel chain companies all have sales directors who handle group bookings also. The group booking can get special discounts, goodie bags, food, etc., also each person can either pay in advance, or just come in ! the possiblities all depend on timeing and availibity of your chioce of hotel. Also, they can give you advice if you're looking for sponsers if the ...

Q. What motel is closest to Disneyland and has a swimming pool? I want a motel that's as close to Disneyland as possible. I stayed at one before that was dirt cheap and right next to it, but it didn't have a swimming pool. This time I think I'll spend a little extra so I can swim. A. Parkside Inn Suites, Best Western Stovall, Anabella Hotel or Alamo Inns & Suits were the first 4 that popped up running between $60 - $130 per night.

What are the best hotels by Disneyland and Universal Studios? Q. A. The Hilton Universal is practically on the doorstep of Universal Studios. For comfort and location, you can't beat it! As for Disney. Paradise Pier, Grand Californian, and Disneyland Hotel are THE Disney hotels. But you will pay premium prices to stay in them. ...

Q. I inadvertently booked a ticket flying out of Rome back to Seattle that departs at 6:25AM. I read that you need to be at the airport at least 2.5 hours before departure. I am still looking for hotels in Rome but I think I'll be staying in the sightseeing area(Coliseum). I don't know how far that is from the airport. What would be the best way to get to the airport if you have to leave at 3:30AM? Thank you! A. I guess that, with "Rome Airport" you mean the Fiumicino/Leonardo da Vinci Airport and not Ciampino: for what i know Ciampino hasn't intercontinental flights. As someone else suggested, a taxi could be a good choice. The first trains to Fiumicino in the morning leave at 5.05 from Tiburtina Station and at 5.52 from Termini Station. At 3 AM it's not even so easy to reach the stations, so my hint is definitely to take a taxi, sorry. Just booked a budget hotel and am concerned about bed bugs? Q. Have just booked a budget hotel in Rome and am a bit conc...

Q. I am in Los Angeles and will be traveling to Las Vegas. Is there a hotel Las Vegas that has good deals? A. The Stratosphere has good deals, I've stayed there several times.

It all depends on your budget and where you want to be located. What are the closest hotels near New York New York Hotel in Las Vegas? Q.

Is using the hotel phone going to be expensive for this? Any suggestions? Thanks! A. Yes it is more expensive. How much money do I need while visiting Bangkok for two days? Q. Hotel with breakfast already payed for 2 nights/mornings. Plus I am english speaking with no Thai language. Should I learn some? A.

Do any of you know any good cheap motels that will sleep 2 adults and 3 children around this area? A. I definitely would NOT stay anywhere in the Birmingham area! It's a bad place, the cops will even tell you to stay on the highway there until you're past. Maybe try Montgomery, it's about an hour and a half past Birmingham, or any of the areas in-between. If you just type in "hotels in ------- AL" on the Yahoo! search you will come up with loads of results. Where can i find a cheap motel or hotel in New York City? Q.

Q. my family is planning a vacation to washington dc. i have to help with preparations for the hotels and all that junk. do you guys have any suggestions on good places we can go like amusment parks or museums or whatever? let me know okay? A. There is no end to things to see in Washington DC, you can easily find something to do every day for weeks. Some obvious highlights: Government buildings (Capital, White House, Supreme Court, Library of Congress) are all excellent choices. Capital South Metro is probably the closest one to the Capital building, Supreme Court and Library of Congress...not sure about the white house. Monuments: At least see the famous ones (Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, WWII, Vietnam, Korea). With the exception of the Jefferson monument all of those are literally in a row. You can take the Metro to Federal Triangle (I think) and that is near Washington monument. From there just start walking towards Lincoln. WWII is on the way, Vietnam and Korea are left and ri...

Q. I need a hotel room for 2 w/ queen or king sized bed. I am looking to book around end of december beginning of january but my dates are flexible.

Q. We have a trip to Chicago from Toronto for 2 days. Any advice for attractions and economic hotel? A. Well, I usually make the trip the opposite directions (been to Toronto about four times in the past year and ALWAYS visit The Rex... love that place). So it's good to return the favor. If this is your first trip to Chicago, I suppose you should see the usual tourist sights first... Millenium Park, Navy Pier, State Street, Michigan Ave., etc. You might also want to throw in the Lincoln Park Zoo (its a free zoo), the Art Institute (great collection and a new modern wing), the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Musem Campus (Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium). But I highly recommend getting away from the tourist area and seeing "regular" Chicago. Places like the Wrigleyville area (around Wrigley field, although that can be kinda touristy too), Andersonville (a neigborhood with a Swedish heritage; it sort of reminds me of the Beaches area in TO), Wicker Park (t...

Q. I am looking for a family fun hotel in the Washington DC area that has attractions like water slides, Miniature golf or other fun family/child activities. My child will be 10 years old and wants to visit the White House so I am looking into planning a trip and feel a hotel with some action will be essential to adding fun to this trip in addition to the sightseeing and history that DC has to offer. Any suggestions would be helpful! A. Unfortunately I can't think of any hotels in the DC area that fit what you're looking for. While many of them are family-friendly, that means basic swimming pools, free breakfasts, and not that much more. What you are looking for are resort hotels, and DC isn't a resort city. With that said, if you book a hotel in the close-in suburbs, you can use the Metro subway system to get downtown each day to the sights. Most kids enjoy riding on Metro! You may want to get onto http://www.hotels.com and look for hotels in the Ballston section of ...

Q. Two of my friends and i would like to go to ireland for a week for our senior trip. Im just looking for any tips on cheap ways to fly or what the chepest hotels would be in places near Waterford. A. Ireland on a limited budget could be tough because it really is quite an expensive country.Dublin,in articualr is at leasat 20-30% dearer than the provincials towns.Most of the cities fall somewhere in between in terms of cost.However,there is an easy way to save money on your flight.Book with Ryanair,the so-called low-cost airline and do so well in advance of your flight to Ireland.This airline operates a ''no-frills policy" so it'll be cheap without being luxurious. As Ireland goes,in the summer i'd recommend somewhere coastal and scenic,though.City-wise i'd probably pick Galway or Cork over Waterford,though it's not the worst lace.Kilkenny's pretty good too.As with most cities,hostels are your best bet for value.Most of the Irish ones are quite safe ...

Q. I booked a hotel in Orlando today and they took one night room rate out of the two nights stay as a deposit to hold my room. Does that deposit go towards the total amount? Or will I be charged the total amount when I check in/out of the hotel or just the second night room rate? I'm confused. A. It goes towards the total amount. If you do not cancel the reservation before a certain time, usually 24 to 48 hours before check in, you lose the deposit. Some hotels take the money immediately and some wait until check in time. Read the fine print. Some have no refund at all. ÊÉÉ¿ÊɹÉq  Ì ÍÍ¡âÂ Ì Which Universal Orlando Resort Hotel is the best? Q. We are a family of 4 and were going to Universal Orlando this Summer.

Q. I'm visiting a friend in the Denver area in a few months. They're new to the area too, but I want to make the most of the vacation. We'll be at a hotel on 16th Street for 2 nights (for the night before and after a Broncos game). We just want a few suggestions for places to go and hang out, eat, and just generally have fun!! A. Here's the 9 best! Denver Restaurants Fresh Fish Company 7800 E Hampden Ave, Denver, CO 80231-4885 · 303-740-9556 SOUTH DENVER. Fresh Fish Company's bright, cheery decor is as pleasing as its delicious seafood selections. Start off with crab-stuffed mushrooms, and then try spicy Creole Barbecued Salmon or perhaps Cedar-Planked Arctic Char. Or, let the chef make the decision when you order a Mixed Grill (two kitchen-selected seafood items). Landlubbers can look to prime rib and filet mignon meals. Lobster, crab, and shellfish are available as well, and an excellent Sunday brunch features even more fresh fish. Reservations accepted. Mi...

The Tv is an AOmni plasma and the remote is Lodge Net. Theres no input button to change it. Please Help!! A. Usually hotel rooms try to prevent you from hooking up your own entertainment (so you have to buy the pay-per-view movies, and in some hotels, pay-per-view videogames), so the button wouldn't be on the remote they provide. But if you look around on t...

Q. It's a cheap price and I'm worried that a standard hotel room will end up being one king size bed for 4 people or two twins or something. I certainly want 2 doubles, fulls, or queens.

Q. So, does it mean some homophobic hotels exist in this world ? If yes, which one ? A. At least in the UK it is now illegal to discriminate provision of services based on sexuality, so all UK hotels should be gay friendly - though there is a sickening bunch of naff homophobes out there. Expect to be able to get a shared bed, including romantic weekend options, where offered. If you've had a civil partnership get the newly weds offer too, with champagne etc. One of my favourite memories is when arriving at a Bournemouth hotel with my ex, having booked a double room, and the rooms weren't ready - so we sat outside taking tea, alongside some genteel folk. Then the duty manager came out, calling loudly 'Do you want a Double or 2 single beds?' - we shouted back 'Double', of course, and a few looks were exchanged amongst the other guests. We had many looks from the guests that weekend, quite quaint how people can be, though there didn't appear to be any il...

Q. Looking for an active weekend, interesting restaurants, shopping and sights. A. Depends on where you are located and how much driving you want to do. Iâm in Connecticut so first: 1. Litchfield County: Lots of antiques, great (and/or cheap) restaurants and hotels, beautiful scenery. Fishing, hiking, boating (lake or river), lots of odd little museums. The Connecticut Wine Trail has several vineyards with tastings and you can buy wine on Sunday. Do not miss Hopkins Inn & Vineyard on the hill overlooking Lake Waramaug in New Preston. Go to Falls Village and ask âem where the falls are. 2. New London County: Mystic Seaport and Aquarium. Downtown Mystic for general strolling and junk store browsing, boat trips, the worldâs neatest bascule drawbridge and two, count âem two ice cream shops. Lobsters & Steamers at Abbottâs just down the road in Noank on the river. And when youâre tired of that you can run up the Thames and blow the kidâs...
