Once you’ve looked up your destination, you’ll get a list of the hotels which want you and your best friend. Sort the list as you prefer and then click on any of the links. You’ll get a complete review, photos, map, directions and rates along with all the descriptions and amenities you can want to know about. What’s really important, is they’ll show you – very clearly – whether or not the pet policy has been checked recently by them and, if so, it will define clearly what the policy is.

Many hotels which allow pets put a restriction on the size of your buddy. Some only allow dogs and some only cats. In some hotels there is a fee involved anywhere from around $25.00 to over $200.00 for the 5 stars. So be sure to check this before you book your reservation. One thing is sure, every hotel is different as to how much space they’ll give the darlings once there so make sure you really are clear on what to expect. This pet-friendly hotel reservation service really is useful to animal lovers as many of the hotels don’t put their pet policies on their web sites. The great thing to know is that there are some wonderful hotels which are clearly owned by animal lovers and will welcome you with open arms.

So the next time you’re ready to go on the road with Fido, be sure to check them out.

What is Clear? If you search for it on Google, you get an internet plan, clear reading program, a survey site and finally, the Clear airport security site. This is the one we want to tell you about.

It seems these days that even if you’re flying business or first class, getting through security can take forever and worse it is just plain painful! Take off your shoes, open your bags, take out your computer, don’t wear metal, take off your jewelry. And that’s after you’ve stood in line for what seems like hours! Gone forever are the days when air travel had a mysterious allure to it! Now it’s just a hassle.

But finally, a company has come up with a way to at least get rid of the dreaded wait time in those lines. It guarantees you fast pass entrance regardless of whether you have a first class or a super economy seat. What is it? It’s a high tech card which is tied to your registration and identification using the awesome biometric verification (fingerprint and iris imaging). The company, Verified Identity Pass, Inc. is even working on shoe-scanning technology! This is the wave of the future and about time too!

Once you’re a member, you will breeze through security as you’ll have your own checkpoint. It’s available at many airports throughout the U.S. with more added all the time. As of this writing, here’s where they have their kiosks:

• Albany

I remember the first time I was invited to go on a trip “over seas”. I was about 21 and a friend asked me to go to London with her. I looked at her with amazement wondering if this possibly could be true. What was worse was what if it was! What did I have to do to get there? OMG I needed a passport! This was in the 70s and we didn’t have the luxury of the internet or even the U.S. Postal Service to help us with such things. After going to a professional photographer for my passport photos, getting my birth certificate out of my mother’s safe deposit box and then going to New York to fill in the application, I waited patiently for almost three months to finally receive my “ticket to heaven”. At long last, the day had arrived. It came in a brown envelope which was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen for inside was my United States Pass Port!

Those days are long since gone and in many ways, good. You can now get a U.S. Passport directly on the internet via an online application. If you’re really in a hurry, you can even get it with a 24 hour turn-around service! Frankly, I think everyone should have a passport. It’s your right as a citizen and almost a badge of honor. I remember while in Egypt not long ago, I was asked to surrender my passport to the hotel. I refused. When they asked what my problem was, I told them that my passport was more than my identity. Iit was my freedom, my heritage, and my way back to my home. I was not going to risk someone stealing it or copying it or any other thing. I would watch and wait if they had to verify it. So they agreed. Keep that in mind during these disturbing times. Don’t lose sight of your passport!

In order to get your U.S. passport – either new or as a renewal – it really is quite easy. You can go to the US Postal Service and apply. You can go to their web site and see if there is a passport app service near you. Usually, for an additional $15.00, they will facilitate your photos there as well as the application. Make sure you check with them before going over there as some of these service locations require an appointment. The charge for a traditional U.S. Passport book (new) is $100.00 and can take up to three months to get it. If you want a “rush” put on it, you can ask for the Department of State’s Expedited Passport Processing Service. This will cost an additional $60.00 and the turnaround times vary. At the time of this writing, the turnaround is 5 to 7 days. If you want it Express Mailed back to you, you’ll have to pay for that as well.

Alternatively, you can now use one of the fantastic online services. The RushMyPassport.com service will issue:

• New Passports
• Lost/Stolen Passports
• Passport Pages
• Passport Renewals
• Child Passports
• Name Changes

What’s even better is how easy and fast it is! They will tell you exactly what paperwork they need and how to supply it to them. If you need it super fast, you can get that service as well. Here is what they offer:

• 24 Hour Service – One Business Day – $299.00 plus Government Fee
• Next Day Service – Two Business Days – $249.00 plus Government Fee
• Priority Service – 3 to 4 Business Days – $199.00 plus Government Fee
• Rush Service – 5 to 7 Business Days – $149.00 plus Government Fee
• Standard Service – 8 to 12 Business Days – $99.00 plus Government Fee

However you decide to apply for your passport, be sure to treat it properly.  Don’t leave it laying around where anyone can pick it up!  Use it wisely and have a great time on your trip!

This is just a beginning list of some of the fantastic places to visit in NYC and which you can get in to using the New York Pass. There are a total of over 50 attractions available to its holders not including discounts and special promotions. Perhaps the testimony from Kimberley C. of the UK says it best:

There are loads of travel logs which will tell you about the different areas of London and where to stay based on the location of the touristy places – matching your budget to a local hotel. That is not what I’m going to tell you about in this article. Instead . . . I’m going to tell you about the Smart Casual hotels – where you’re going to find a great meal – fantastic cocktails – lovely accommodations and service – and perhaps even some star gazing in the bargain! If you plan you stay right, and use our recommended services, you’ll get a great rate as well.

Nearly everyone in the Smart Casual set live in either Chelsea or South Kensington. There are some exceptions. For example, you’ll find a niche area in Knightsbridge or Notting Hill. Belgravia holds treasure to some seriously expensive homes whilst Pimlico is a pleasant diversion. There is a following of Americans in the Holland Park area as well. Predominantly however, most everything revolves around the Chelsea set. One can stay outside of these areas, but if you want to mingle, there’s nothing like being there! With that in mind, here is the first of my series on Chelsea and South Ken hotels.

Draycott Hotel 26 Cadogan Gardens London SW3 2RP
The Draycott is truly a gem. If you like traditional British 19th century charm – this is for you. The rooms and décor are true to the period of colonial Victorian England. Authentic antiques blend beautifully with contemporary amenities. The hotel is very close to Sloane Square and the King’s Road. London neighborhoods are blessed by their squares and Cadogan Gardens is no exception. The rooms are gracious and comfortable and the suites even have their own full kitchens. If you get a room at the rear of the house, you will have a wonderful view overlooking the gardens. For us Americans, you’ll be happy to know that it is fully air conditioned (and many of the older hotels in London are not!). In the winter, the fireplaces are fitted with gas and are totally operational. Talk about ambience! A 5-star hotel, the Draycott received an overall satisfaction grade of 5.0. A standard double room will cost approximately $353.00/night for two.
Wyndham London Chelsea Harbour London SW10 0XG
The Wyndham Grand is a beautiful hotel and if you want to be on the river (The Thames – prounounced temms), and still be in Chelsea, then this is for you. But be absolutely sure that’s where you want to be because Chelsea Harbour is somewhat off the beaten path. There is no tube stop nearby. You will have to rely on taxis or public bus service (the C3 bus runs between Earls Court tube and Clapham Junction via the Harbour every 10 minutes. The 11 and 22 buses run down the King’s Road to Sloane Square and the West End every 7 minutes. You can get this bus at the Lots Road bus stop). The hotel will also provide transportation and even arrange a river taxi. On the positive side, however, Chelsea Harbour is in itself a beautiful place. You can sit and sip on a cocktail and watch the yachts coming in and out or just take a stroll along the banks of the river. Chelsea Harbour also hosts the Design Centre which is a combination of offices and showrooms for interior decorators goods and services. There are also cafes and restaurants and a health club on site. The Wyndham Grand is an all-suite, 5 star hotel. The service and accommodations are first class all the way and is a great choice for those in town on business (albeit not in “The City”) or holding conferences. They have first-rate conference centres on two levels with audio-visual conferencing. They are close to the major exhibition centers at Earls Court and Olympia.
Blakes London 33 Roland Gardens London SW7 3PF
Blakes is one of my all-time favorites. It’s situated in the heart of Chelsea between (the) Fulham and Old Brompton Roads. In fact, it is surrounded by beautiful Victorian homes – now mostly converted flats. This is a fantastic location for anyone wishing to be in the hub. South Kensington and Gloucester Road (pronounced Gloss-ter) tube stops are walking distance and taxis are abundant. There are fantastic restaurants and shops everywhere. Blakes was designed by top international designer Anouska Hempel and, with it’s low-profile, is a favorite among travelling stars and starlets. The décor is absolutely magnificent – an unusual blend of traditional and contemporary using only the finest silks and tapestries. The rooms and suites are a must see. Each one is a true work of art as only Anouska Hempel can do it. Whether you stay there or not, you absolutely have got to have a meal in the restaurant. The cheese soufflé is something to die for. It is wicked! For dessert, try the Chocolate soufflé! Uggh. I wish I was there. I used to go there when my boss was in town just so I could have that cheese soufflé. A standard (whatever that means!) single room is approximately £175.00/night
Cadogan Hotel 75 Sloane Street Knightsbridge, London SW1X 9SG
The Cadogan (pronounced kah-duggan) is located on Sloane Street and, although technically in Knightsbridge, it’s really just on the fringe and close enough to Sloane Square to keep it in this category. In fact, what a great location. You’re walking distance to either Sloane Square or Knightsbridge tube stops; close to Harvey Nic’s and Harrods, walking distance to Beauchamp Place(pronounced Beech-ham) and the wonderful Walton Street shops. If you head the other direction and walk down Sloane Street to Sloane Square – you’ll be in heaven when you stroll down (the)King’s Road. Loads of shops, coffee places, restaurants (walk all the way down to the local favorite La Famiglia). If you want a taxi, there are plenty in that area. The Cadogan Hotel is a 5-star hotel –situated in a beautiful Victorian property with a townhouse feel. A Superior Double room (the standard) will average approximately $239/night for two. Which is really a great rate. The rooms are spacious and comfy with beautiful period furnishings. Travelers there have given it a 4.2 in overall satisfaction.

Get more great info on London hotels at:  BestLondonHotelReview.com The last time I went to London, I booked the entire trip on Expedia.com. I stayed at the Savoy as I was doing business in “The City” and it was close. Since I had stayed at the Savoy before – and booked a top room directly – I had something from which to compare the room I received from Expedia. I have to say I was a bit skeptical — but I was pleasantly surprised. The room I stayed in by booking through Expedia was just as nice – if not nicer. The only difference was that I paid about 25% LESS! Do yourself a favor — let one or more of these services do their job and book everything through them. They’re great! Make sure you get either the London Pass or the Heritage Pass. You’ll save a bundle on siteseeing!

Prices for holiday services change awfully quick, and in this ultra fast moving world of traveling, getting the best tips brings maximum profit for businesses and rewarding alternatives for holiday makers. Cheap family vacations are often used as a marketing strategy to attract customers, and this competition is not limited to travel agencies, as it greatly influences the policies of hotels and touristic resorts too. The general rule says that the places that receive the highest popularity rates are also the most expensive.

If the plane tickets are not chosen carefully, they could cost a fortune even if you think you are negotiating for cheap travel packages. Those tourists whoprefer direct routes should know that airfares vary depending on the internal regulations of airlines and are not given any explanation. Hence, a direct route is much more expensive than alternate or combined flights. Before paying for an international flight, you should check whether you don’t pay less by getting a domestic one in the same direction, first. Some agencies take into consideration such elements when creating cheap travel packages, but others take the directest flight to the destination as a standard criterion.

Another way to keep the cheap family vacations cheap all the way is prepare for all aspects of the journey. Many restaurants in various parts of the world make huge profits on the account of tourists without peoples realizing it, therefore, it is time tourists started focusing more on local food they could enjoy during outings for instance. This doesn’t mean that you’d have to cook while on holiday, but you should make some research before getting to the destination and get some tips on good local establishments that focus on regional specialties. For local specialties, costs are a lot smaller and the food is absolutely great!

Flexibility allows one to get really good deals on cheap travel packages. Let’s say that you choose to travel to South America. If you ask a travel agency for a vacation to Rio de Janeiro, you will notice that this is more expensive than a random touristic destination in Brazil. Some less known and little crowded resorts could prove more rewarding than a very popular but highly expensive one. Nevertheless, it all depends on what you expect from the cheap family vacations, and what idea of a holiday you have in mind. Plenty of details are abundant on the Internet and you can learn loads of other stuff to help you maximize the money efficiency and the pleasure of the vacation.
