Irish tourists abroad
(19 May 2009)
Hi - just looking for people's thoughts and opinions on Irish people who travel. Having returned from South America recently and a couple of years down under, here are some very general observations
1) My first observation is that per capita, we seem to holiday in far flung places FAR more than any other nation. E.g. stayed on a remote island in Fiji and about 30% of the people were Irish. Every hostel in South America has Irish people in them.
2) Tend to be less likely to be travelling alone, a...

Fellow Tourists need to spread the word that Jalisco is OK
(29 Jun 2009)
The swine flu never hit Jalisco. All precautions that were taken by the Mexican Govt stopped the spread of it. The workers in PV are suffering due to the loss of tourism from the economic state in the US and Canada and due to the Swine Flu. Unfortunately several people I speak with in our social circle, work, bus mates etc all speak negatively about Mexico now. Many are not going back and picking other destinations for the upcoming winter. It is necessary for those who are informed of the situat...

Manhattan - best ICHG hotel for tourists?
(20 Jun 2009)
So, as a brit, I'm looking at a 4 night stay on rewards in the autumn- I love the look of the CP in Times square but would welcome any feedback from others. I'm looking for a room in a nicer area, close to the metro and possibly offering an upgrade with platinum membership (I know I'm not entitled. but some places in the UK still offer this) I also like the look of paying 60$ and saving 10000 points- something I'll think about.
Many many thanks!!

Tourists upset by Guantanamo issue threaten to boycott Bermuda
(18 Jun 2009)
Source: royal gazette
Several tourists have threatened to boycott Bermuda because of the decision to allow four Guantánamo Bay detainees to come here.
Outraged visitors have contacted The Royal Gazette to speak out against the Island getting involved in the high-profile international affair.
Marshall Ottina, a grandfather from Boston, said he already had family trips here booked for July and December but wished he could cancel them after learning that the Chinese Uighurs twice cleared of being...

New Business in St. Lucia - Opinions?
(06 May 2009)
Just returned from St. Lucia and it looks like we are going to move forward with our dream of owning a small local Rum Shop and make it into a cool place where "both" the local professionals and visiting tourists can be comfortable. And we're calling it a Rum Bar. Our web site is http://www.SkeeterzRumBar.com and we would like some feedback on what you would like to see (or not). We think of it as a Cheeseburger in Paradise meets Hooters.
We are going to set it up on the beach in Vieux Fort, 3 m...

'73 Varsity Sport -> Varsity Tourist
(18 Jun 2009)
Okay, I know there was no such thing as a Schwinn Varsity Tourist in 1973, but the difference between a Collegiate Sport and a Collegiate Tourist was the upright handlebars. So a Varsity Tourist would be the same thing as a Collegiate Tourist, only with 10 speeds. (Maybe that makes it a Suburban, but the frame says "Varsity"!)
Anyway, I've been thinking about putting upright handlebars on my Varsity and started on the task tonight. First I had to clean up the donor bars from a nasty Huffy I pick...

Seattle or San Juan Island Tourist Ride?
(09 Jun 2009)
I am a fellow BFer from the SF area. I will be visiting Seattle in July and would like to rent a tandem and take a ride. I will not have a way to transport the tandem, so the ride will need to start from the rental place. Target length would be about 25-35 miles, depending on the elevation gain (flatter is better, but 2000 or so feet of climbing would be OK).
Any tips or ideas?
Here are a few options I've figured out from my research:
There is a rental shop on San Juan Island that rents Burley t...

Some thoughts on India's road etiquette, by an American bicycle tourist
(11 Jun 2009)
I wanted to share on Bike Forums this entry I wrote for the blog that my boyfriend and I are keeping for the India and Nepal trip we are on currently. Please take heed!
-yr lttl pwny
Some concern has been expressed to me by a few family members that they are worried about us out here, riding alongside the India traffic . I will tell you that on our first day out on bikes I wanted to end my trip, and life by hurling myself and bike off of a cliff and into the Ganges. I didnt think I could handle...

Cancun to Playa Del Carmen by rental car - Cancun
(26 Jun 2009)
We will be in Cancun in February (second trip). Thinking about renting a car in Cancun and driving to PDC for the day. Never drove in Mexico before but heard a few "horror stories" about tourists being pulled over and scammed by Mexican traffic cops for phoney speeding charges and ordered to pay cash on the spot "or else." Any advice from seasoned Cancun visitors? Is this a common experience--extortion by the police against tourists on the road? Are there better alternatives other than renting a...

The Psychic Tourist
(21 May 2009)
I've just come across info about this book, it investigates psychic claims and apparently debunks them? I attempted to order it, but it is not available through Amazon in US, only in the UK. Has anyone from the UK read it, and if so, would you be kind enough to post your opinion?
