Koh Samui Thailand. Travel Tips And Top Things To See and Do

…Getting there and getting about The Ko Samui Airport is actually a private airport. Bangkok Airways originally built it and is still the main user. As I mentioned earlier they run an almost hourly service to and from Bangkok. You can also fly to other destinations from the airport, and these include Phuket, Singapore; Chiang Mai and even Hong Kong. The airport is slightly unusual and has a slightly unusual process, but it is quite quaint as it is…

Virgin Atlantic to cut in-flight therapists in Upper Class

…Clubhouse indicates that Upper Class passengers prefer the wider range of hair and beauty treatments and spa facilities we can offer on the ground rather than in the air. I’m also aware that as our In Flight Beauty Therapist can only treat up to 16 passengers in the Upper Class Cabin during the flight this can cause disappointment. We have asked all our In Flight Beauty Therapists to take part in the review and therefore over the next few weeks we…

Barbados Restaurants: Which are the best ones?

…This restaurant is on the west coast north of Holetown and just after the Fairmont Royal Pavilion hotel. A striking white colonial style building houses a small hotel and the large restaurant. You go down a long wooden staircase to the restaurant which is right on the beach. The decor is striking and the staff wears white boiler suits. Overall though, a visit here is not especially memorable. This is because the attitude of the staff on the door a…

Continental Airlines USA Review

…id not have to own or get all the fussy special adaptors you need on other airlines. The food was pretty standard airline fare, though you did get a choice of 3 main options for the breakfast (omelette, French toast or cereals). They also had a movie on demand service which seems to be quite new, and they struggled to get it working and then about 2 hours into the flight it stopped working. The seat itself was large, and went fairly far back but w…

Chauncey Conference Center, Princeton, New Jersey: Review and Videos

…really that efficient. 3) The place is very remote and so if you are there you are very isolated and far from anything. There is not a lot to do at the hotel – and the gym that they say they are “proud” of is pretty basic with a multi-gym and some cardio machines. 4) The bedrooms are ok – but the air conditioning/ heating system is very poor and is noisy and either boiling hot or off. Though the 2nd time I stayed the room was much better and I am…

Caribbean Cruise Part 3: Grenada

…been divided up into various “lots” where someone has the right to sell chairs and umbrellas for that section as well as drinks. So there is some friendly banter as you go along the beach to try and get you to stop and sit where they have their section. There are a lot of vendors on the beach when ships are in selling drinks, large sea shells, spices, jewelry and then are also roaming guitar players who will stop and make up a song about you. The…

Athens, Greece: Part 1 Hotel Pentelikon Review & Video

…a sort of 4 poster design but without the canopy on the top, large comfy chair, and chair and desk to work at. The bathroom was as beautiful with a wall of frosted glass doors with a large shower behind one door and a toilet behind the other.Even the meeting rooms, which are in another new building, were good. The provision of free internet access in the bedrooms was also a nice touch. The fitness center was a real disappointment. 3 cardio machine…

Taipei, Taiwan. Observations and tips for visiting this city unused to heavy tourist trade

…n airport in town but this is only for domestic flights. The international airport is called Chiang Kai-shek International airport and it is very modern. The traffic getting to and from the airport is slow, although the roads are very good but you need to allow well over an hour or more. I was very amazed with how lush and green and tightly packed the hills and mountains were with trees and vegetation. I don’t think I have ever seen such lush and…

Taiwan: Grand Hyatt Taipei

…d is very comfortable (with great pillows!). One thing I like a lot is the air conditioning is so quiet you almost have to double check to make sure it is on as you hear nothing. This for me is a big plus as you will need it. The safe is huge and you can easily pop laptops and the like in easily and the desk is a good size and there is lots of storage space both in the cupboards and on shelves that the TV stands on. They really have got a great of…
