You can go as a solo traveller if you wish. Always have your eyes open for anything. I’ve been a solo traveller to Barbados, Trinidad, even U.S.A., and I’m from Canada. If they don’t want to go, then that’s their loss, your gain, because you get to experience a new country.

Question by Theresa: Im looking for cheap travel ideas from paris to london, any ideas?
After christmas I want to go to Paris and London and I am looking for the cheapest way to travel from one to the other? Also if you have any Ideas for New Years in either location?

Best answer:

Answer by Hoppelemine
Eurostar (train) is the quickest and easiest. You may find a budget airline flight for less money but it’s more hassle. Eurostar takes you from the center of one city to the center of the other.

New Year in either city is expensive. For London the West End and Trafalgar Square are the popular places to go. In Paris the Champs-Elysse and Arc du Triomphe (spelling is probably wrong) are very good areas. Be careful in Paris they like to throw fireworks into crowds of people which can get scary.

Have fun!

Question by Bejy: What causes earache in some people during air travel and what is the antidote?
I recently flew Lufthansa from Abuja to frankfurt but my journey was spoilt by the terrible presurre-like pain I felt in my ear towards the end if the trip. I’m now scarred of air travel as a result. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How can one possibly prevent such, cope with it when it occurs or recover quickly from it afterwards?

Best answer:

Answer by macguffin
It’s caused by the change in air-pressure. Chew gum to stimulate your swallowing reflex; that will mitigate the muzziness.

Question by Athens girl: Can hamsters handle the stress of air travel?
I would like to carry my hamster on a plane (90 minute flight). Delta allows hamsters and I have the permission to carry her with me. I am wondering if anyone could share similar experience with me. Can hamsters handle the stress of air travel? My hamster Biscoot is 1 year old and she has travelled (7 hrs) in car before. Also, where can I buy an appropriate travel cage for her? Thanks for your time.

Best answer:

Answer by Mab
I don’t know about that, but get her a clear plastic cage with a top that has holes in it. That way all the bedding etc. stays in and she can’t bother anyone.

Question by Hope: Is the air travel advisable during the last 4 months of pregnancy? What might be the negative effects?
I’ve heard that after 6th month of pregnancy, its dangerous to travel by air coz of thge air pressure and shortage of oxigen. Further, it can result in pre-mature delivery,dont know whats right n wats wrong.

Best answer:

Answer by Darla G
Most Dr.’s advise you not to fly in the last few months of pregnancy. There are risks not only because of air pressure and O2, but from stress and anxiety as well. Most significantly, if emergency medical service is needed, it can be hours before it is available, time that is very precious to a mother and unborn child.Childbirth has become a great deal safer in the last 100 years, but mothers and babies are still lost in childbirth every day.If there are risks you can avoid, by all means, do so!

Question by care4ub0y: Air Travel?
Can anyone tell me how and what kind of ticket to buy. Want to go from Connecticut (BDL) to Texas (IAH) and back to Connecticut (BDL) round trip, but on way to Texas want to stop over in Oregon (PDX) for 4 days! Do I need to buy two separate tickets, or what do I do? (Very inexperienced in air travel!)
Thank you for any help I can get!!!

Best answer:

Answer by Mark S
You just need to buy one ticket — it’s still a round trip. If booking online select ‘multi-destinations’ and you can build your itinerary with as many stops as you like.

Question by krissyxgoesxgrr: Travel ideas?
Does anybody know of any cool but, inexpensive places to travel around Cincinnati, Ohio? We don’t want to travel too far [more than six hours] or spend a ton of money. Something like Hocking Hills would be awesome – that kind of setting w/ cabins to rent and stuff.. But, we go to Hocking Hills all the time so we kind of wanted to try somewhere else similar to it.

Answer by Teri
Gatlinburg, TN! You will be in or near the Smoky Mountains and it is absolutely breathtakeing. I have friends with small kids who live in Cinci and they go as often as possible. There are also tons of things to do in nearby Pigeon Forge.

Here are some sites to search for cabin rentals:

best dinning:
there are varities try these websites they will help:

http://www.yallabina.com/ (btw, yalla bina means let’s go)
or
www.yellowpages.com.eg

dress code:
no common dress codes unless you are heading to the cairo opera house!

customs & safety:
Egyptians are very friendly generous religious people
but here’s what you should not try:
- in shopping areas or when going for walks try wearing cloth that are not too short or bare
- if entered a mosque, take off your shoes but keep it in a safe place
- always use the Cairo taxi caps service by phone, dont try to go there and just wave for a taxi, he will over charge you
- try learning some simple arabic words for daily life
You can google for more tips

best time to travel:
depends on what u prefer, for example
Nov/Dec to march: cold or medium weather, best time to go luxor and aswan

march and april are spring good weather but windy sometimes

may to september is too hot, best time to go to sharm el sheikh and hurgada

Cairo is the city that never sleeps! so visit any time of year

Enjoy!
