HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

…ut the overall dress code was very relaxed. This was not a flashy designer label for dinner experience, it was more like when I have been on an expedition cruise. In short, were what you bring and wear was low on the list. Personal Feel The third thing was with a maximum of 312 guests and 200 crew.

Friday Travel Photo: Millenium Bridge to Tate Modern Museum London

…llenium Footbridge Tate Modern Museum London Taken on a cold wintry day in London, I love the sun rays behind the clouds and the shapes of the Millenium Footbridge cables lining up with the big chimney at the Tate Modern Museum. The bridge is also known to Londoners as “the wobbly bridge” as when it first opened for the Millenium they found that it wobbled and moved when people walked over it. It was closed for almost 2 years while adjustments wer…

Thomson Airlines. Charter Airline That Is As Good As Scheduled Ones

…not a pushy sales call – just a reminder. Check-in was efficient and fast. London Stansted, that they fly out of, is not as busy and manic as some of the other London airports. So getting checked in, going through security, shopping and getting something to eat before the flight, and then getting to and on the plane was much less crazy than it is at other airports. The planes were new, and much newer than many of the scheduled airlines I have used…

Travel pods at London Heathrow T5 These nifty and clever innovations are fully operating at London Heathrow Terminal 5 (the main BA terminal at the airport).

They run to the car park that is designed for people to leave cars at all day or for a few days, and replace buses. They not only mean that there is less traffic and pollution…
