Resolved Question: What questions should I ask a travel agent?

My girlfriend and I are getting married in Oct. this year and are planning our honeymoon to go to Aruba. I met this travel agent several months ago after transporting her to a test in the hospital where I work and she gave me her information and all which I still have. So her recommendation was Aruba since it's off the hurricane belt. We want an "all inclusive" package. Want sort of questions should I ask her when I call her? Would it be indecent to ask her for a little discount since I sort of took care of her? I'm only asking for suggestions since I, evidently, never dealt with travel planning and such. more

Resolved Question: Destination Wedding Questions?

Hi there, My fiance and I have started planning our wedding..well thinking about it. We would love a destination wedding in the caribbean. I'm thinking Turks and Caicos, Aruba, St. Lucia etc. We also have a 3 year old daughter so we would love family friendly resorts that have a lot of activities for kids as there are young children in both our families. I spoke with a travel agent and absolutely fell in love with Beaches Resort and Spa in Turks and Caicos...I can only imagine how much this place would cost! I don't want to have to ask my guests to dish out $2000. Here's my question, have any of you planned a destination wedding? Where do you start? How does the whole booking start with a travel agent...do you have to pay them while they look for deals and try to get a solid price for you? How does that work? Also where have you gone and how much did you and your guests have to pay? What is the proper etiquette, who do you invite? I imagine for us it would be a small gathering, I don't want anything extravagant just a nice wedding on a beach and a dinner with close friends and family. Please let me know, I'm not sure how to start this at all....lol Thank you! more

Resolved Question: How do I book a package vacation without paying for my 3-year-old?

We are going to Aruba next month and found some great deals online for flight and hotel combos, but I don't want to pay the hotel fee for my 3-year-old and my 1-year-old. How do I reserve 2 flight/hotel bookings on a site like Expedia and then book the same flight for my kids? Any ideas besides enlisting the help of a travel agent? We are trying to keep costs down so that would defeat the purpose. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Does it sound like my business partner is taking advantage of me?

Some of you know that my wife* and I run the Abandoned Squirrel Society. (A.S.S.)- a non profit shelter for displaced or low impact hit and run accident survivors. Since the stimulus package awarded us a great deal of money to carry on this great institution, we decided to take on a local businessman to help with the day to day operations. My wife* and I went on a goodwill search looking for more helpless animals. We traveled to Bermuda, Key West, the Cayman Islands, Aruba and many other tropical islands in this gut wrenching search. I am sorry to say, we were not able to return with them. Unbeknownst to us, Carnival Cruise lines has a rule about bringing animals on board. But back to my original problem. Our partner, Lil' Donng ,runs a chinese eatery in town. Lately, his business has tripled in size. Word on the street is that his new menu features some of the most exotic dishes ever created. I was very happy for him, until I recently visited the shelter and found only 2-3 dozen squirrels. Normally at this time , there are hundreds in the shelter waiting for spring release. Even more disturbing was the fact he traded our Tahoe in for a Mini Cooper. I was like " Donng, Donng, where is my automobile?" He stated that we no longer needed the bigger truck since the animals were shipped directly to the restaurant. So my question to you, is 30% a big enough cut on the restaurants profits? My wife* says at least 40%.Hattie OJ- We'll see what we can do about beaver*. There is always the risk of them being mean and rabid.Rey- blue with white accent stripes more

Resolved Question: Hey, hey, hey. Want to read this and criticize?

Here is the first chapter my new project I started at midnight last night. Critique, compliment, etc. please? Thank you. Dream Big, or Stay Home I believe I was around twelve when the plan was brought up. Obviously it was a scheme my parents had been holding inside themselves until this precise age. It is at twelve when school is to be taken seriously. It is at twelve when our minds are not completely our own yet and parents can still pull this on us. And it was at twelve when I was in the sixth grade, still not completely sure what I was doing. At all. So this would make perfect sense as to why the plan became very dear to me. It was something set that I knew I had to do. Just follow the plan and nothing can go wrong. Mismatched socks? That’s okay, all part of the plan. Following off the rope in gym, don’t worry, completely intentional. Making it to the 8th grade continuation dance only to gossip with friends in the bathroom, all part of the plan. Trivial things like these didn’t matter because they were supposed to happen. So all I had to do was deal with those incidents, play nice, do my homework, and keep up with my chores. I was on my way to success. The plan was my metaphysical bible and I drank it up like Eucharist. I don’t remember the exact day or setting, but I do remember the exact words. My dad decided to tell me the secret to life, what I’ve been babbling about for a page now. This is how it went: THE PLAN 1. Graduate high school (‘Well, duh, Daddy.’) 2. Go to a four year college 3. Begin dating 4. Find ‘the one’ (Magically, of course.) 5. Get married 6. Have babies 7. Keep working (Because stopping to stay a housewife is unacceptable.) 8. Retire 9. Spend most of the rest of my life in a beach house in Aruba 10. Reflect on my life (Possibly in a nursing home.) I hate to admit it, but it sounded like a peachy plan to me when I was twelve. I never let the plan go, it was etched in my mind like Fred Flintstone chiseling away at a slab of stone. It was also helpful. I’ve always liked knowing what I was doing, and having this set agenda to follow was a great thing. And that idea lasted up until 10th grade. That’s when everything hit me. I realized that I don’t care what other people think. I embraced myself and was finally comfortable in my own skin. It was like I literally woke up one day and was cured of whatever infects kids with ‘high school cliché’ syndrome. This was also the time in my life that I realized I didn’t want to be apart of the plan. Not that I was trying to rebel and be cool, I just did not want my life to be that way. I remember in government class and in English we would always talk about the ‘American Dream’. Like it was an object that you could buy at the store if you followed the plan correctly. I spent most of those lectures making sarcastic comments in my head and rolling my eyes behind my teachers’ backs. It was everyone’s dream, but it was my nightmare. I struggled through my last years of high school. Not in the grade department, but the itch to get out of there. I just wanted to stand up in the middle of Pre-calc and leave. Leave the school, leave my house, leave my state. It was all I could do to fake the plan. I did my work, did my chores, got a job, and socialized on the weekends. And when I told my dad that I wasn’t going on the conveyor belt, it wasn’t a big catastrophe. No one yelled, I never got grounded. I just calmly said that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to college. The two of us were walking our labs around the block and he just questioned me about what I was planning instead. But that was the thing, I didn’t just not want his plan, I didn’t want any plan. I told him that I could be happy working at Starbucks, saving my money, and just traveling in my free time or writing or taking art classes. But that wasn’t his dream or the American dream, it was my dream. “You’re going to college, Em,” he said it as if it was final. I replied bluntly with a “No” and he said “Yes, you are” to which I said “No” again and then he said “Fine, have fun working as a barista” and then I said “Good, I will!”. Although I was playing and being serious at the same time, I think he was mainly being serious. But I let it roll off my back, because at this time I was in 11th grade and I was really adamant about doing what I wanted. My mom always said that she doesn’t care what we do, as long as we are happy. And I knew my dad felt the same way, but he was really adamant about me going to college. I knew he just wanted the brightest future I could have for myself, but his little vision was outlined with red, white, and blue stars. After we made it back home (after the last half mile in silence) I was actually getting really angry. I didn’t care what people thought, but I was still upset that 1. No one would support me, and 2. That people actuactually believe that ‘The Plan’ is the best thing to follow (completely hypocritical, I know). At school my friends would ask what I wanted to do after high school and I would tell them my bright idea of just leaving to New York and being a barista or something. They would just say “Oh…” and ask another friend to their right. That drove me nuts. I just kept thinking that these fools are living their lives to a standard that they think is the only option. And then they would think I’m weird for actually doing what I want. Isn’t the point of life to live? I didn’t want to waste my life in school, looking at the clock every five minutes waiting for my life to begin. So I did it. I followed my idea, not plan. Because like I said, I didn’t really have a set plan, just a rough idea. After countless family gatherings with an aunt or a grandparent asking me what I wanted to do with my life and being looked at weird for not being a prototype, cloned American like they were, I jumped.Wow. That's a lot, sorry.I walked across the stage (Without tripping like I really expected I would.), grabbed my diploma (And didn‘t forget anyone‘s hand to shake like I really expected I would.), switched my tassel, smiled for the camera, and jumped the set of stairs to the ground. I said bye to my real friends and bye to the kids I was never really friends with but grew up with, and then my family and I drove home. My parents kept telling me how proud they were and my mom kissed my cheek a million times. It was sweet and sentimental, but by the end of the day I wasn’t sad anymore. Graduating high school was the happiest day of my life. Actually I take that back, the day after graduation was the happiest day of my life. May 22nd was the day I left for New York. more

Resolved Question: Which vacation, Punta Cana, Aruba or Puerto Rico?

My boyfriend and I are planning a nice Caribbean vacation. We have heard many good things about the above spots. Which one is the best, from your opinion? We are going March 23rd for a week. We want a fairly economical, but still nice, all-inclusive vacation. We want a nice pool, beach, and maybe fun activities outside of the resort. What travel agent should we go through? The best deals I could find so far were through TNTVacations.com. Any other suggestions? Any tips? Thanks!! more
