Romanian Journey - Bed and Breakfast -

June 26th, 2007

According to The Rough Guide, “No journey to Eastern Europe would be complete without paying a visit to Romania. Outstanding landscapes, a huge diversity of wildlife”. The Rough Guide also gives you traveling alternatives: either on a package deal (and you’ll not be able to see disconcerting realities of the country such as poverty, beggars and so on) or independently. Well, traveling independently is indeed the best idea, but you should never start such a journey without proper research. Why? Because Romania is a wild country. No, not the people (although there are some voices warning you about pickpockets, especially in Bucharest, subway stations and train stations, yet you’ll not find them in the wilderness), but it’s relief and roadway structure: many roads are narrow or lack traffic signs; some are in a really bad condition and require maintenance work. Some roads are not even mapped, especially those traversing the wilderness in the mountains or some villages. Besides to find the bed and breakfast country houses with the offers that are the closest to what you may call Romanian tradition you’ll need a local guide and not the guidance of a specialized tourist agency. Romania’s charm lies in the less visited regions. There you’ll learn the real meaning of Romanian hospitality.

Bangkok is located in the country of Thailand, and many consider the country the gem of Southeast Asia and its capital as the travel hub of southeast asia.

Bangkok is a sprawling city center that holds 10 million people. This number fluctuates as the city experiences thais, tourists and expats constantly coming and going in the city.

Some Bangkok Serviced Apartments are avaiable for short term and long term stay, depending on the owner of the service apartment. The best location, if you like being in the heart of the action, is in the are called Silom.

How to investigate a hotel before you go!!

June 14th, 2007

As a frequent business and vacation traveler, I like to check out every hotel choice before I book it. That way, when I arrive at the hotel I’ve already know the neighborhood around the hotel, I know if there’s a pool and in most cases I’ve been able to investigate local venues. Here’s how I select and book a hotel.


I usually look for hotels that I’m a part of their reward program or that have a reward program. These days, hotel chains like Hilton and Marriott have many different brands to chose from a various pricing and amenity levels. If you start saving your points, you can get more than a free night, you might land yourself some pretty neat travel toys like Ipods, Bose head sets or even golf clubs.
Location - I use “search near address” or I search near city, airport, or the attraction I will be visiting.
You can use sites like Expedia, Travelocity or Orbitz to search by location, price, hotel name, or distance.
Once you narrow your hotels down to a few choices, click on the hotel’s website and check the following info:
Hotel Features - description of amenities
Hotel overview - get a feel for what they offer. I like free breakfast, especially if it’s hot.
Hotel location - usually there’s a map link you can click that will list points of interest. You’d be surprised what you can walk to (good exercise )
If you can find traveler opinions or ratings, check out what others say. Usually they rate on a scale from 1 to 5


Another site to visit is Tripadvisor.com. There’s tons of hotel reviews. If you see a number of scathing reviews, you probably want to stay away. Getting a review from former hotel guests gives you the best sense of the property.
