Simple Tips on Choosing the Right Motorhome Rental http://balashiha.su/?p=187 http://balashiha.su/?p=187#respond Fri, 06 May 2011 17:02:26 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=187 5 Simple Tips on Choosing the Right Motorhome Rental

You can do this by matching your needs to the motorhome with the best or closest match. Firstly, consider how many passengers you’d have or berths that you would need. In this case, the beds that you would be needing with the people travelling. This is the first thing to consider and must be right the first time. This will decide and help you narrow your motorhome choices. Berths range from 2 berths, 3 berths, 4, 5 and even 6 berths. Note that double beds count as 2 berths in some motorhomes, so take care in choosing.

Next, what facilities would you need? Determine how self-sufficient you’d want to be. Possibilities include toilet, heating, shower, kitchen, storage, batteries or power and gas heating. Note that even a small motorhome has all the facilities and probably would have smaller water tanks and fridge, too. Which means, you’d have to “service” your vehicle more often that with a larger version. If you are arranging for camping away from campsites, then you’d want to be self-sufficient as possible and take note of the facilities you would need. But in case you’d be planning to stay in campsites during most of your time, you may take the opportunity to avail of the modern campsite facilities such as a shower and toilet. Which also means you wouldn’t be constantly refilling your water tank. Small campervans may meet all the self-sufficiency requirements, but they can be limited when it comes to comfort and space. Consider the lay-out and access in this case.

When you’ve got that covered, how long will you be on your trip? How long you will be away is a deciding factor with creature comforts. Consider the living space you’d want to have for a week’s trip, and so forth. The limited space is often a big factor for children. Fresh water and waste water tanks mean frequent refilling and emptying of cassettes and tanks.

Would you be driving most of the time? Or would you rather spend it most of the time on campsites? Whatever your travel plans are, just be cautious that some areas and roads have restrictions when it comes to motorhomes. Driving a motorhome is entirely different than driving a family van. Consider the width restrictions on the area you would be visiting. Motorhomes oftentimes could be too wide in some roads. Consider the flexibility of your motorhome, the maneuverability and dimensions, especially with high tops. Rental operators can help you with this one.

Finally, the budget! Obviously motorhomes aren’t cheap. This is because of the age of the vehicle, the amenities, and the design of the motorhome. Which is good news, because this means that this can be a good initial investment. Rent the newest vehicle that they would have, aging from 0 – 3 years.

Renting a motorhome can be of great value, as it is cheaper in some ways. Give it a try on your next vacation.

Book an Airport Hotel & Relax in Stress-Free Comfort Before You Fly http://balashiha.su/?p=1419 http://balashiha.su/?p=1419#respond Thu, 30 Dec 2010 11:54:37 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=1419 Book an Airport Hotel & Relax in Stress-Free Comfort Before You Fly

You save for it all year, so going on holiday should be as stress free as possible and having to get up early & go through all the hassle of getting to the airport can be a real pain. It’s the same when you land back late at night and you can’t face the journey back home, especially if public transport isn’t even running! Cheaper flights are often at unsociable hours, or you may have been on a long flight, when it can be dangerous to then drive whilst tired. There is a solution! Book an airport hotel.

Using a hotel at the airport (especially if you have an early or late flight) can make a huge difference to your travelling experience. Don’t want to catch a transfer bus? Then order valet parking instead and someone will meet you at the airport and park your car for you – what could be easier? If you have an early start and you live a little distance from the airport why not extend your vacation and start it a night earlier in luxurious surroundings.

Airport hotels vary dramatically in size, style and price. There is everything from 5* luxury through to budget B&B’s, hotels with walkways straight into the terminal or those that have a shuttle bus transfer to reach check in. There are also hotels more geared to business travellers and those for leisure. Whether you are choosing a hotel for the first or last night of your holiday, you need to decide the following:

  • Your budget for the stay
  • Number of rooms and total people staying
  • The standards you are used to when staying in hotels – budget, mid range or top end! Unless you use all the facilities of the hotel you choose, then it’s not worth paying out for something you don’t actually need
  • How far you want to be from the airport terminals
  • Consider your check in time and the time taken to reach check in from your hotel
  • Do you need car parking as well? Consider an airport hotel with parking, which often works out cheaper than parking alone
  • Check whether each hotel offers a transfer service to the airport terminal. These may not be 24 hour and/or may charge a fee.

Benefits of pre-booking an airport hotel

  • Save Money – you can save up to 60% on standard rates!
  • Save Time – no need to trawl through hotel websites trying to find the best price – an online search will give you the full hotel details and locations so you can select the right hotel for your needs.
  • Guarantee your room – at peak times, many hotels are sold out and will only have rooms available at full price. Book ahead and guarantee your room at the best price.
  • Compare companies on line and secure the best price for your needs from the comfort of your own home or office.
  • Rest and Relaxation – by not having to travel early or late you can rest and relax, making your overall journey more pleasurable. You can unwind with a meal, a drink or even use the leisure facilities that many hotels offer.

Airport Hotels are the best way to start your break if you have an early morning flight or late night return & there are a range of packages all designed to meet your needs; be it a business trip, a family holiday or just somewhere to rest your head.

Pre-book your stay and save money! You can also book an airport hotel WITH parking for a convenient, complete package which often costs less than parking alone!

To get your holiday off to a stress free, relaxing start, book a complete package that will provide you with a night’s stay in a comfortable and friendly hotel and will also give you the choice of on-site and secured parking, along with transfers to and from the airport! An airport hotel with parking is perhaps the most convenient and stress free way of embarking on your trip.

Airport Hotels WITH Parking

On site parking at the hotel provides the easiest and quickest route to the airport whereas parking your car at a secured car park will give you greater peace of mind. For a more luxurious start to your break, try a hotel with Meet and Greet parking. Have your car delivered back to you at the airport for a speedy getaway after your travels.

  • Save Your Money – book early to make savings of up to 60% on the price of booking your airport hotel and parking separately!
  • Save Your Time – forget motorway queues on the day of travel; forget trying to find a parking space or a hotel room when you arrive at the airport and even forget having to ring around for availability – an online search will give you full details long before you travel so you can select the right deal for your needs.
  • Guarantee a hotel room and your own parking space – at busy times, most hotels and car parks are full – so plan ahead and ensure your room and space are reserved for you.
  • Compare online – with ease you can check the best prices and deals online, from the comfort or your own home or workplace.
  • Rest and Relaxation – by staying overnight you can avoid the stress of travelling to the airport in the early hours with small children. You can unwind with a meal or drink and use the facilities, such as the swimming pool or gym, safe in the knowledge that your car is parked securely while you are away. You’ll also get a good night’s sleep in the comfort of your hotel room before you set off on your holiday.

Late back from your holiday? Then stay at an airport hotel on your return and enjoy that last night of freedom before heading back to the real world.

Botswana: the Gem of Africa http://balashiha.su/?p=1486 http://balashiha.su/?p=1486#respond Tue, 19 Oct 2010 02:17:08 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=1486 Botswana: the Gem of Africa

Botswana is a land-locked country of southern Africa that is surrounded by neighbors South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. It is one of the most prosperous countries in Africa and its economy is fueled by its robust tourism and large-scale diamond mining. It also has the longest uninterrupted democracy in the African continent. Botswana’s landscape is dominated by the vast Kalahari Desert which home of the indigenous people is called the San Bushmen who has been there for over 20,000 years.
Apart from being the largest producer of diamonds in the world, as it is aptly tagged as the Gem of Africa, Botswana is also famous for its safaris. The country has diverse areas of wildlife habitat. It also is home to the world’s largest inland delta, the Okavango Delta, which can be seen from outer space. The main safari destinations for tourism are the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta, and the Chobe National Park.
The Okavango Delta has large numbers of animal population such as crocodile, elephant, hippopotamus, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, hyenas, antelope, rhinoceros, buffalo, and the endangered wild dogs, as well as other common mammals and hundreds of bird species. The best time for game viewing in the delta is during the May-October period. Game viewing on a vehicle is used on land, as well as walking safaris.  On the other hand, rainy season is best for bird watching since migratory birds are returning because trees and plants are lush. Safari by the water in a “Mokoro”, a dug out canoe, is the best way to appreciate the waterways of Okavango.
In Chobe National Park, Botswana’s first national park, is home to the largest elephant herds in the world. These elephants are also of the largest in body size of all living elephants. Lion, leopard and buffalo are also residents of the park.
To experience the Botswana safari, a traveler can get in to the country by plane in Gaborone, the country’s capital or through the town of Maun. Flights come from Johannesburg since there are no international flights aside from South Africa and Zimbabwe. By land, all road access are good as all primary roads are well-maintained. 
When taking the Botswana safari, it is advisable to have the national currency handy, which is called the pula, which in Botswana language means “rain”. And before taking the trip, it is also a must to visit a doctor for health precautions. A well planned adventure is required if one wants to get the best out of the Botswana safaris.

Family Travel – How to Make Plans http://balashiha.su/?p=3406 http://balashiha.su/?p=3406#respond Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:27:07 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=3406 Family Travel – How to Make Plans

When you go on a luxurious vacation, be prepared to shell out premium price. However, you tend to pay less when you make detailed plans.

To start, make clear and concise goals. Do you need the vacation for healing purposes? Or just traveling to relax your mind. Different people travel for different reasons. Try to reconcile your needs with those of your travel companions. To avoid tension, be sure to discuss your plans openly with whoever you are traveling you. Come to a common understanding early.

Everything else becomes easier to plan for when you are clear about what you want. For example, if you are traveling to relax, focus more on that. Who will you be traveling with? Make a list of the equipment that you will need. How many days do you intend to spend golfing? It is sometimes good to have variety.

Variety actually helps to keep your entertained throughout the entire trip. You want want to plan for a massage session after a full day of sight seeing. Your vacation will then be filled with fun and exciting activities.

In sum, make sure that your plan works in your favor. Don’t set yourself up for more stress. Distractions are abundant, so you must be careful not to let them spoil your vacation. If possible, leave all your work and worries behind. Having some peaceful moments to yourself is rare and precious. Your travel plan will help you achieve that.

Now is the time to choose a luxury vacation destination. Where would be most ideal? Each destination will have its own unique characteristics. But there will be a place that will appeal to your own personal preferences.

On luxury holidays, you will be staying in villas instead of resorts. We are not talking about resorts here. Villas are private dwellings with their very own facilities. They are very private, and offers a lot of peace and quiet. For this simple reason, the rental will be much higher. But in return, you get more space.

The most expensive destinations are those from developed countries. This is because real estate prices are high in such countries. Therefore, you can expect the prices of such villas to be two or three times more than villas in other destinations.

For a much lower price, you can enjoy staying in villas in Asian countries. In these countries, land is a lot cheaper, and you get to enjoy breath taking scenery and beautiful beaches without having to pay premium prices.

In addition, you will also see sights that you don’t normally see in western destinations. For example, you can visit temples and learn more about the eastern culture. A quick visit to Bali, and you will immediately experience what we have just mentioned. Even the architecture of the villas look and feel different. Depending on your group, you may stay on small villas with one to three rooms, or larger villas with 4 to 5 rooms.

When you stay in an Asian villa, you save a lot of money, and you enjoy similar experiences. You just have to know where to look. Other interesting luxury destinations include Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii, and Caribbean.

Cut the Costs of Travel with Manchester Minibus Hire http://balashiha.su/?p=2517 http://balashiha.su/?p=2517#respond Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:54:36 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=2517 Cut the Costs of Travel with Manchester Minibus Hire

Minibuses offer a comfortable and affordable way to travel in small groups. This is much more cost efficient than travelling individually by train or hire car.  Many minibus companies also offer discounts on groups of twenty or more so you can make even more savings. Minibus hire is widely available in Manchester so whether you need an airport transfer or you are travelling to a business event this can be a cost effective option. Here are just a few ways you can help to keep the costs of your minibus hire as affordable as possible.
Plan Your Journey
You can avoid any additional costs on your travel by planning your journey very carefully. When you book your minibus in Manchester you will need to provide clear details about your journey including all of the pick up and drop off points. Last minute changes to these details can result in additional charges so it is important to make sure you have planned everything properly before you make the booking. The minibus reservation will also specify the ‘off-hire’ or return time. If you are delayed in your journey then you will be charged an additional hourly rate until the minibus is returned and this can add up. It is much more cost effective to allow plenty of time to return the minibus when you make the booking, especially if you are going on a long trip where you could be delayed by traffic or other factors on your return journey.
Minibus companies also have a lot of experienced drivers and booking clerks who can help you to plan the best route for your journey. This will take into account traffic works, times of travel (avoiding rush hours queues) and also how quickly you need to arrive at your destination. Maps and online route planners tend to advise travellers to take main roads only, but these are often not the most direct routes. You can save a lot of time and money by taking advantage of local road system knowledge. This could save you taking unnecessarily long detours on your journey.
Luggage
Minibuses are popular for airport transfers as they offer plenty of space for groups travelling together. However you do need to ensure you have informed the minibus provider at the booking stage just how much luggage you will be transporting.  This will allow them to allocate you a suitably sized vehicle. If you need to make last minute changes to the vehicle size then you could be charged more and there may not be another vehicle available. If you misjudge the amount of luggage you need to transport on the day then the driver will refuse to take any cases over the vehicle’s capacity. You will then either have to leave the luggage behind or arrange additional last minute transport which could cost a lot of money.

A Quick Hotel and Golf Resort Recommendation http://balashiha.su/?p=436 http://balashiha.su/?p=436#respond Sun, 04 Apr 2010 18:10:58 +0000 http://balashiha.su/?p=436 A Quick Hotel and Golf Resort Recommendation

There are also hotels that combine the best of both and give you a nice surrounding atmosphere while still being close enough to the important locations in Scottsdale.

Scottsdale resorts, especially golf resorts are usually located somewhat away from the urban areas. That is because resorts tend to be self-contained spaces where the guests come to completely get away from daily life. The golf resorts especially need to be away from the city because creating a great golfing green takes a lot of space and getting such a large piece of land near the city is not always possible. However, there are older resorts that have had the city growing around them. So now they are in well-functioning parts of the city main and still great places to get away to.

These resorts are great places to host events like high-profile seminars, conferences and also weddings. Many people choose to organize their weddings in these places because of the helpful service and fantastic atmosphere. If you have a big event coming up, you should contact some of the Scottsdale resorts that you like and ask them for packages.

Visitors to Scottsdale hotels and resorts are always presented with a vast array of choices when it comes to features and services. There are diamond ratings starting from 1 and going up to 5 along with ratings like AAA Five Diamonds. These are like star ratings in other places and they show you whether a hotel is economy, standard or luxury. You will be happy to know that you get hotels to suit all the average price ranges and most of them have at least a three diamonds rating. There are also two diamonds rated hotels that provide for great economic rates.

The average hotel in Scottsdale has facilities like swimming pool, room service, comfortable rooms and beds, friendly staff, complimentary offers like breakfast and/or morning coffee, Internet connectivity, in-room entertainment etc. Some of the more expensive hotels also have services like concierge, valet parking, in house dining, extended in-room facilities like gaming consoles, mini-refrigerators, mini-bars, etc.
