On 3 February 1960, Tottenham Hotspur secured their record win, a 13-2 victory over Crewe Alexandra

On 3 February 1960, Tottenham Hotspur secured their record win, a 13-2 victory over Crewe Alexandra in a Fourth Round FA Cup replay. It is also Crewe's record loss. The fact that the tie had gone to a replay was surprising, since, at the time of the original match, Crewe were sitting 16th in Division Four--83 places below Spurs, who were at the top of the First Division. But Crewe managed to hold the league leaders to a 2-2 draw on 30 January, forcing a replay at White Hart Lane. There, almo rental cars the hosts wasted no time in establishing their dominance. By the 30th minute, Spurs had a 6-1 lead which they extended to 10-1 by the break en route to the final score of 13-2. Inside forward Les Allen had the day's highest tally with 5, followed by center forward Bobby Smith (4), winger Cliff Jones (3), and inside forward Tommy Harmer (1). Unfortunately, Spurs were not as prolific in the next round where they lost to Blackburn, 1-3. They got their reward the following season, however, winning a league and FA Cup double (including another Fourth Round victory over Crewe in the FA Cup by the relatively modest score of 5-1).

Thanks, Jessie! I definitely have no plans to paint the cabinets, although I would be lying if I sai

I m so excited to be here at Debbiedoo s.  I ve admired car rental san francisco cheap and followed car rental san francisco cheap her blog for years and am so honored car rental san francisco cheap to be sharing my home with her and you. Thanks so much for having my home on your tour, Debbie!
First of all, let me introduce myself.  My name is Angie and I blog at Postcards from the Ridge.   I met my husband in college almost 25 years ago and we ve been married for over 22 years. We ve lived in our 1964 ranch style house for the past 7 years with our 2 teenage daughters, and there s always some type of project (or three) in the works.
car rental san francisco cheap I m always   painting something, and it helps that I work at the family paint and decorating shop 30 hours a week.  The hardest part for me is always deciding car rental san francisco cheap on which color to use.  I like so many different colors and styles!
My style could be described best as eclectic, casual, collected, and comfortable.  I like various decorating themes like farmhouse, vintage, mid-century modern, and some traditional.  And I love to use items for something other than their intended use.
If you ve never visited my blog, you ll find projects, tips and tutorials, favorite paint colors, room tours and decorating ideas.  And we love to travel, so occasionally you ll see a few photos from some of places we ve visited.
The entry is an ever-changing display of seasonal items. Currently it s decorated car rental san francisco cheap for fall, but will get changed in a few weeks. This is my favorite area to decorate because it s the first thing I see when I come home, and also because it s the easiest and quickest to change. Anything that takes very little time and makes me happy has got to be a good thing.
The dresser is one that I painted and distressed earlier this year. Inside the paint store where I work, I ve claimed a small space where I sell some of my painted pieces and you can get a glimpse of it here , or you can see a few other pieces I ve done here .
The living room is the first room you see when you enter the house. I call this my  space, since there s no television or electronics in here.  Just the windows, fireplace, and some comfy, casual furniture.
The sofa got a makeover last year with a simple dropcloth slipcover.  And when I say simple, I mean simple.  As in, no sewing and a wee bit slouchy but comfy.  You can go  here  to get the how-to for that. Or go  here  to see a different furniture arrangement for this space as well as some of the other elements of the room.
Another one of my favorite finds is the section of vintage iron gate that s propped up behind the lanterns in the photo above.  I bought it from a local antique shop a couple car rental san francisco cheap of years ago and had no idea what I would do with it at the time, but knew that I had to have it.  It s been in several places around the house and on the porch, but I really like it here for now!
The space isn t huge, but is just right for the 4 of us.  The antique hutch in the photo above gets restyled seasonally.  It belonged to my husband s grandfather and we re so glad to be able to use it in our home.For a glimpse of how it gets decorated for each season, go  here ,  here , and  here .  You ll see how much of a dish hoarder I really am.  :)
Dish hoarder?  Me?  Yeah, probably so.  But I find them cheap and have so much fun with them. It s better car rental san francisco cheap than therapy.  It reminds me of how I used to play house when I was a little girl. Didn t everyone do that?
Here s some more of our fall decor with natural car rental san francisco cheap items.  One thing we like to do as a family is hiking or just being out in nature, so I really car rental san francisco cheap like to use natural, car rental san francisco cheap organic items whenever possible.  To see more of our natural decor like this, you can go  here.
Our kitchen is truly the hub of activity in our house, as I m sure it is in most homes.  Admittedly, when we moved in, I wasn t in love with these cabinets.  Our last house had white cabinets (that I had painted) with nickel handles, and these hickory ones took some getting car rental san francisco cheap used to.  They had shiny, round brass knobs which I switched out to oil-rubbed bronze, and that helped.
I still don t love them, but they ve grown on me and I don t dislike them enough to paint them.  And honestly, they re so much easier to keep clean than our white ones were.  I m all about low maintenance whenever possible, and they are definitely low maintenance.  The island might get painted at some point in the near future, but probably not the cabinets.
When we moved in, we had no money in the budget for tile on the backsplash, so what you see on the walls is actually hand painted faux tiles. car rental san francisco cheap   Remember when I said I m always painting something?  I didn t lie.
For that project, I used pin-striping tape and several shades of paint in the little sample jars and a sea sponge to create the look of tumbled marble tiles for a fraction car rental san francisco cheap of the cost of the real thing. car rental san francisco cheap And as a bonus, when I get tired of that look, I won t feel a bit guilty about changing it!
The family room is where we spend the most time in on nights and weekends.  We watch college football on Saturdays (GO VOLS) and have Friday movie nights and even occasional game nights in this room.  To see more of this room, go  here .
When we moved in, the room was covered in vintage 1964 paneling.  As you can see, it s still  covered in paneling, but we gave it a facelift by painting it a couple car rental san francisco cheap of years ago.  It looks 100 times better.  Painting paneling is such an easy and inexpensive way to update a dated space.
On one end of the room is a built-in bookcase.  It s also made from 1964 paneling, but it got a makeover with paint, new knobs, and paintable grasscloth-looking wallpaper in the back of it. Part of the decor in the shelves includes some of our vintage games, yet another thing that I seem to hoard  collect.  I think vintage car rental san francisco cheap games are very nostalgic and kinda cool.  At least that s what I tell myself.  :)
In the master bedroom, we have a casual, laid back style. car rental san francisco cheap  I like to keep the bedding neutral because I change out the pillows and accessories in the summer and winter.  I still have some light summer colors in here now, but will be changing over to some heavier fabrics with some darker colors mixed in within the next few weeks.
car rental san francisco cheap Did you notice that we don t have a headboard?  Now you do, don t you?  That s one of the things on my to-do list.  I either want to make one from an old door or a fireplace car rental san francisco cheap mantel.  Sounds a little crazy, huh?  Someday I ll get that marked car rental san francisco cheap off my list and actually have a headboard in here!
For the vanity, we used our old dining room buffet.  I painted and glazed it and had our contractor retrofit the drawers so they would fit around the plumbing.  We still have usable space in all three drawers.  To see how it was done, go  here .
A vintage ladder gets used for towel storage in here.  I love repurposing old things like that.  And the texture of the old gray wood on the ladder somehow softens the feel of all the hard finishes in the bathroom.
On the back of the potty, I have a few pretty car rental san francisco cheap things displayed in an old wooden dough bowl. Vanilla cream soap, lavender, car rental san francisco cheap a sea sponge and a candle from Ballard makes the space much prettier, don t you think?
We gave the guest bedroom a makeover last year around the holidays and this is how it looked then.  I ve had the iron bed for probably 20+ years, and the night stands are the remnants of what used to be a dresser.
The antique desk was my late mother-in-laws and I m so glad to have it.  It was one of her favorite pieces, and is now one of my favorites.  It s always nice to have special pieces like this in the house.
In the basement bedroom, there was a very ugly floor that I painted to look like large tiles.  I used floor paint and made a glaze from floor polyurethane and paint for this technique.  It s a huge improvement over what we used to have.  Again, I m always painting something.  :)
Your home is cozy and inviting- car rental san francisco cheap I love it, Angie. Your faux painting is beautiful- I would never know either of those projects wasn t real tile. I m a little jealous that you have an entire paint store at your disposal.
Angie I really love the warmth and coziness of your home. It really speaks Family to me! i have a lot of favorites in your rooms, your fireplace is wonderful and I love the lanterns on the hearth. Your entryway is very pretty, I d love an old dresser like that. You must have a lot of painting tips to share! And I do like your kitchen, the cabinets are perfect car rental san francisco cheap as they are. We have custom made pine cabinets and I would never let a drop of paint touch them!!
Hi Jane. Thanks for all the kind comments. I love the our home says family to you. I ve always said that I want people to feel comfortable here! And I don t have any plans to paint our kitchen cabinets. I just don t have the energy for that! Have a great weekend! ~ Angie
Thanks Laurie! Glad you stopped by. And I bet you could find an old window paint whatever design or lettering that you wanted on it. I know you ve got good resources for cool old stuff like that. Have a great weekend! ~ Angie
Thanks, Jessie! I definitely have no plans to paint the cabinets, although I would be lying if I said the thought had never crossed my mind! If they weren t fairly new and in good shape, it might be a different story though! Have a great weekend! ~ Angie
Since I live in a ranch home, they are near and dear to my heart .Love what you have done with your 60 s ranch. I noticed that you have left some of the wood trim wood toned. This is one of the on-going car rental san francisco cheap dilemmas car rental san francisco cheap in decorating my old ranch home. painted trim looks a bit dated, but once painted it means painting almost every year and I have way to much to do to even consider car rental san francisco cheap that! (based on my previous experience in a 75-year-old Cape Cod with painted trim.)
What is the paint (make and color) of your living and dining car rental san francisco cheap room? Looks like a soft golden/tan tone and looks wonderful and warm with the stained trim wood.. Very pretty. I have had trouble finding a color that does not turn the old reddish colored pine trim on our two picture windows too red and look awful.

Every province, every region, every community, every Canadian will benefit when we re able to diversify our markets and get full value for the resources that we have, New Brunswick denver adams mark hotel Premier Dave Alward told a trade conference hosted by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Alward denver adams mark hotel and his Saskatchewan colleague, denver adams mark hotel Brad Wall, urged provinces like Quebec and Ontario against standing in the way of pipeline projects like TransCanada s proposed Energy East line, which they say would speed Canadian oil to market.
If we look at it collectively as a country, we re all going to benefit, but if we get into this situation where we look at one individual item or opportunity and don t think we re getting enough out of it, then ultimately none of us are going to gain anything, Alward denver adams mark hotel told a receptive business audience.
TransCanada recently delayed denver adams mark hotel until next year its goal of filing an application for the $12-billion denver adams mark hotel Energy East project with the National Energy Board. The company said there s too much work to be done to file the application before the end of the year.
Enbridge (TSX:ENB) plans to spend $110 million to reverse its Line 9B to carry western crude to meet Quebec denver adams mark hotel s refining needs. denver adams mark hotel The National Energy Board, which recently denver adams mark hotel held heated hearings into the proposal, is expected to make a decision on the proposal denver adams mark hotel in 2014.
Wall expressed dismay denver adams mark hotel that Canada seems almost apologetic about the fact that it s an energy powerhouse. Canada is third in the world in oil reserves and in the Top 10 in terms of oil production, Wall noted, but we re not acting like it.
A country with all of this would find ways to move energy to tidewater, to improve the return to Canadians for the resource, to ensure there are jobs for the future for all of us — including First Nations, non-First Nations, for the entire country, he said.
TransCanada s proposed Keystone XL project has become a flashpoint for environmentalists in the U.S., who hold it up as a symbol of dirty oil. U.S. President Barack Obama, who has sent mixed signals about Keystone XL in recent denver adams mark hotel months, is slated to determine the pipeline denver adams mark hotel s long-delayed fate some time next year.
North of the border, meantime, Alberta, Saskatchewan denver adams mark hotel and New Brunswick are staunch supporters of Energy East, but it's not clear that other provinces — in particular Quebec — back the project. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has expressed federal support for the development.

TORONTO • Inside its vast stores, Indigo Books and Music Inc. touts the slogan "The world needs more Canada". But, as the retailer rail travel uk weathers damage to its core business from online book publishing and digital reading, Indigo needs American Girl.
The popular doll brand, which sells for US$110 at its highly interactive U.S. stores and through rail travel uk a catalogue, will come to Canada for the first time by opening boutiques rail travel uk inside two Indigo book stores in Toronto rail travel uk and Vancouver this spring. The sizable shops will come complete with a doll hair salon, rail travel uk apparel, books and accessories.
While expanding its own online operations, Indigo has accordingly boosted its in-store assortment of toys, gifts and home accessories and décor to transform the bookseller into a "cultural" department store.
The boutiques, on Vancouver's Robson Street and in Toronto's Yorkdale mall, will carry a broad assortment of the Mattel-owned doll lines, which include a category tied to U.S. history and more than 40 combinations of customizable dolls, available with different hair, eye and skin shades.
rail travel uk "As part of its offering, American Girl has books — every doll they introduce has a story associated with it and a whole value system embedded in that story," Ms. Reisman said. "It is all about creative play and storytelling, and that is where we come from. Everything we stand for is reflected in the American Girl ethos."
Indigo's move comes after the CEO told shareholders at the annual meeting this summer that Indigo was in the middle of a "very difficult transformation " with plans to reconfigure its large stores "from one main shop into a series rail travel uk of shops" to house 40 new in-store Apple technology shops, home goods, paper, design, baby and kids toys.
Robert Gibson, a retail analyst at Octagon Capital in Toronto, estimates the retailer could add $20-million to $30-million in incremental revenue in fiscal 2016 if it replaces low volume book square footage with the American Girl boutiques, and $2-million to $3-million in net income.
"We believe they will be hugely successful, but because these are big-ticket items, we don't believe they will initially be in every store," he wrote in a note to clients Tuesday. He expects Indigo could open as many as 15 American Girl boutiques in major urban centres by the end of fiscal 2015.
The size of the in-store boutiques is still to be determined rail travel uk on a store-by-store basis, but the doll retailer is aiming for about 5,000 square feet. Chapters and Indigo superstores are an average of 20,000 to 30,000 square feet.
"We have had a growing number of requests and Canadian mothers and daughters who have sought rail travel uk us out through stores rail travel uk in the U.S., and that number has been growing pretty significantly over the past couple of years," Ms. McKenzie said, while not divulging how many Canadians buy the dolls per year.
American Girl was the strongest performing in Mattel's stable in the most recent third quarter, with gross sales for American Girl Brands up 20% over the prior year to US$122.3-million. Its gross sales were US$596.3-million in 2012, up 10%, and income in the segment rose 9% to US$121.6-million in 2012 compared with 2011.

"(U.S. President Barack) Obama's not all crazy in this area and the State Department is holding the world (up) to say there has to be some standards there," said Tennant, referring to American hesitation about approving pipelines that would take Alberta bitumen south.
The federal government is concerned enough to have tendered a contract Tuesday to buy $18 million worth of international advertising to reassure potential cunard cruise lines trading partners about Canadian environmental policies.
The agency would be likely to receive up to $15 million a year from the province as it took over functions from Alberta Environment, Hui said. That's in addition to $50 million the oilpatch has agreed to pay for three years.
"The science and the data has to be arms-length, so when we receive cunard cruise lines it as a government that Albertans, Canadians and anyone can receive it at the same time," she said. "A science advisory panel that can do peer review is very important as well.
New construction technology, stringent and continuously improving regulations, and years of industry experience make Canada's oil shipping industry well-equipped to accommodate increased tanker traffic on the West Coast should new pipeline projects proceed, concludes the leading independent consulting firm IHS CERA.

Nevsun Resources is a gold and base metal explorer/developer with a focus on developing mining projects in Africa. Nevsun is currently focused on advancing its high grade gold, copper travel labels hawaii and zinc Bisha Project in Eritrea.
The Bisha mine in Eritrea, operated by Nevsun's 60-per-cent owned subsidiary Bisha Share Mining Company, is thought to be one of the highest grade open pit base metal deposits in the world and has a mine life in excess of 12 years.
Nevsun Resources (TSE:NSU) (NYSE MKT:NSU) says the commissioning of its new Bisha copper plant in Eritrea is progressing well, with commercial production of copper concentrate now expected before the end of this year.
The company, which is transitioning travel labels hawaii to a majority copper producer from a gold producer, said Wednesday that the flotation plant throughput is now approaching 70% of its 2014 plan, while copper recoveries are now approaching 80% of the plan for next year.
The Bisha mine in Eritrea, operated by Nevsun's 60-per-cent owned subsidiary Bisha Share Mining Company, is thought to be one of the highest grade open pit base metal deposits in the world and has a mine life in excess of 12 years. It is forecasting production of 200 million pounds of copper in 2014, after commissioning for the copper plant began in June of this year, which was followed by the production of lower grade copper-gold-silver concentrate in August.
The company has since seen a steady improvement in plant stability, travel labels hawaii it said, as it cautiously advances the project, making some minor plant design modifications as well as plans for tank repairs in 2014 after some initial issues somewhat reduced throughput. Nevsun said the cost of these fixes has not been significant relative to its investment, with capital for the copper plant completion still "well below budget".
The entire front end of the plant, travel labels hawaii consisting travel labels hawaii of crushing and grinding circuit, as well as the back end of the plant, which includes tailings travel labels hawaii thickening and discharge, is the same as used during the gold phase of production, and accordingly no commissioning was required, Nevsun said.
The remainder of commissioning travel labels hawaii activities in 2013 will focus on increasing throughput and improving recoveries and concentrate grades, with the company now anticipating commercial production before year-end, as compared to its previous forecast of early next year.

The interim dividend has been doubled to 1.50p and though the company has yet to decide on the size of the final dividend for the year, it did note that with a healthy free cash flow, there continues to be considerable scope for a progressive future dividend policy .
The focus of the business continues to be on securing new customers through effective marketing u2 concert tour dates of the various telecom frameworks and development of organic sales channels, maintaining underlying profitability and cash flow generation, which will be used to fund dividends and earnings-enhancing acquisitions, said Roger Wilson, AdEPT s chairman.
AdEPT s house broker, Northland Capital Partners, said the numbers were marginally ahead of forecasts, as it upped its price target from 145p to 165p. The broker, which rates the shares a buy , said the dividend hike was also a pleasant surprise and it has now pencilled in a full-year divi of 3p.
We have repeatedly (and incorrectly) called the high water mark for EBITDA margins but H1 s [first half s] 20.6% looks difficult to maintain with downward pressure on both the level of higher margin Fixed Line revenue and also on Fixed Line margins. On the positive side, there are no operating costs associated u2 concert tour dates with the Bluebell acquisition, Northland s David Johnson u2 concert tour dates said.
H1 saw good progress in the public u2 concert tour dates sector with new contracts with six county councils through the ESPO Telecom Framework. This represents a considerable opportunity. Since period end, it has been awarded its third public sector telecom framework and AdEPT can now sell into central government bodies as well as local government and universities, Johnson noted.

Target Corp. s decision to hold its bi-annual investor day in Toronto is a chance to assuage concerns about the U.S. retailing giant's disappointing debut north of the border earlier this year, but it won't likely get the languishing stock back on track, say analysts.
Mr. Horvers, who is one of 16 analysts covering the stock with a hold/neutral rating on the stock, identified a number of headwinds facing the company, including the potential lack of profitability for its Canadian operations.
"Bigger picture, we worry that the Tarjay brand is being impacted as consumers are pushed away by tight inventory levels, increased consumables mix, lower online capabilities, and the company's softer profile during the past few Christmas seasons," locations of enterprise rent a car he said. "Meanwhile, Target may have competitively drifted into Wal-Mart's wheelhouse locations of enterprise rent a car of grocery and price leadership."
Paul Trussell, analyst at Deutsche Bank, is also recommending investors stay on the sidelines. He has a hold rating and US$64 price target on the stock, citing weaker-than expected same store sales as a negative risk moving forward.
He said the Canadian marketplace still represents a big opportunity for Target, but operations remain meaningfully below original expectations due to a high amount of out-of-stock product, weakened customer service, and an unfavorable merchandise locations of enterprise rent a car mix relative to peers, as persistent price perception issues.

There is a lot you can do in Las Vegas with kids! Factor in the heat and a lot of walking, but the p

We will be visiting Las Vegas from July 13th to July 20, we are traveling with three kids ages 17, 11 and 8. We were thinking of taking tour de cure a day trip to California. We have been in LA and done all the tourist things there. Any suggestions on where else we can go in California that's not too far from LV?
Agree that LV for 3 kids in midsummer makes little sense. There are so many places they can't go - any casino tour de cure - and so many places it will be too hot - basically anyplace outdoors including the pools - I can;t imagine what they will except hang around tour de cure malls.
There is a lot you can do in Las Vegas with kids! Factor in the heat and a lot of walking, but the pedestrian walkway goes in and out of the casinos rather fluidily. New York is cool with arcades. tour de cure Don't go to Excaliber (gone way downhill and is R rated!). There's a Rainforest Cafe at the MGM, M Ms store etc... At that end of the strip. Rio is beautiful and has a great buffet. tour de cure The Blue Man Group is good for families, and AAA gives discounts. The Aliante is a newer hotel with casino and a movie theater. Keep in mind, the pools can attract some rather lascivious behavior!
The only thing to do in Baker is see the thermometer and eat at the Mad Greek, which is usually crowded (and desperately need to remodel their restrooms!) You could take a side trip to LA, but leave very early in the morning tour de cure to avoid the heat, and try not to do it on a Sunday. Cheap gas at the M Hotel 12 miles towards CA (Rose off ramp?). But the drive is so long and boring!

My wife says I've been blogging too much about food. I think that's to do with the Wi-Fi coverage, w

What a day! Things we did just this morning seem as remote as bits of my childhood: the Silver Bean in Cortez ; our all-too-brief visit to Mesa Verde ; cold and hot swims ; Durango ; Andy Maclure playing a home-made dulcimer in Silverton . The drives have been absolutely stunning. Jeff, you weren't wrong.
We're still on the Million Dollar Highway as I write this. The sun has set, but there's a lovely peachy blush in the sky. I'm going to give Andy a break from driving so I'll sign off now. We'll stop soon for the night and we'll be back in the car very early tomorrow for the last push to Denver. See you then.
The right thing to do now would be to sit in an armchair in a cosy Ouray hotel and read Wallace Stegner until bedtime cheap hotels in venice italy while glancing up occasionally at the mountains. But it's back in the car, and off we go again...
So beloved and feared, a 'subjective' documentary was recently made solely to talk about what is going on in Kubrick's Colorado classic. Like any classic, of course, it's also been parodied brilliantly:
The million dollar highway is lined by a number of ghost towns, most abandoned after mining booms died down and harsh winters forced drove the rest away. The towns abound throughout the state, and the most exciting- and/or haunted-looking ones can only be reached by 4x4 vehicles; quite a few, however, are accessible by passenger car.
Ouray's city site provides a handy guide to those along Rt 550, and National Geographic did a whole road trip dedicated to Colorado's ghost towns. This remarkably thorough (if chaotic) site on ghost towns , meanwhile, has collected submissions for the entire state.
Animas Forks is one of many near Silverton and Ouray on the Alpine Loop . The mining town boomed in the 1880s and busted by 1910 and its 'downtown' of tilting shacks, cabins and spooky halls look spooky mostly cheap hotels in venice italy for their juxtaposition against the stunning mountains around them.
St Elmo , meanwhile, is generally regarded as one of the best preserved ghost towns in the country. The catalogue calls it a ghost town "in miniature" and "an antique doll house". cheap hotels in venice italy The once thriving gold town had hotels, saloons, dancing halls and a newspaper office in its heyday, much of which is still preserved. A few people still live in the town, though even the postal service stopped coming round in 1952.
The road's winding down the mountainside, past the old mine workings. There are deer grazing right beside the highway. The mountain peaks are bare red and yellow rock. "Like a chemical spill," says Andy.
I've searched high and low but none of the Silverton bookshops stock The Female Eunuch. cheap hotels in venice italy Fudge, yes, cowboy hats, yes, but not a single copy of Greer's seminal text. We bought harmonicas instead and are now back on the road to Ouray.
But our in-car consensus thoroughly bantered and interrogated cheap hotels in venice italy on this drive past slippery cliffs and mountains is that there's no way pregnant cheap hotels in venice italy women, children and elderly people went rock-climbing cheap hotels in venice italy every day. The Maclure Hypothesis is that ladders were fixed into the holes.
I should say there is absolutely no evidence for this, but then again when I quizzed one of the guides in the park I had the feeling she was also just making stuff up. "They had very naturalist beliefs, you know, like Mother Earth, Father Sky."
This bit is even better. It used to be the red light district. There were 32 saloons on the three block stretch. Wyatt Earp played cards here! And no wonder it looks familiar it was used as the set for Westerns in the 1950s.
For those of you who love trains *cough* Andy Maclure *cough* and for those who love breathtaking mountain landscapes: a video of the Durango-Silverton train in action, cutting some very sharp turns along a very narrow looking ledge.
My wife says I've been blogging too much about food. I think that's to do with the Wi-Fi coverage, which tends to be great in restaurants. When we are out of Wi-Fi range we often talk about things like feminism, and what great wives we have, but it's just not reflected in the blog.
We've been getting a lot of suggestions for Telluride, though it might be too much of a detour for Marcel cheap hotels in venice italy to make. That hasn't stopped the high praise, however. @Circle_West says it's "Heaven on earth". @bix783 gives us a contrarian moniker and the literary lowdown:
Neither can we smoke any of the decriminalised marijuana that the state of Colorado is so keen on. I gather that it's only a matter of time before it's sold openly in shops. Can that possibly be true?
If Marcel is to stick to Theroux's First Iron Law of Happiness , which states that lunch must always cheap hotels in venice italy happen at 1pm, he's going to have drag the crew off the mesa, and drill the car to Durango pronto Tonto.
cheap hotels in venice italy Yesterday @ukboy cheap hotels in venice italy challenged the team to hit all four of Durango's microbreweries in one night. FAIL. And I suspect that won't be happening today - driving, heat and full bladders don't mix. But they might just make one for a pint and a bite. Here's a reminder of the microbrewery menu:r
Steamworks Brewing Company: Between the drinks menu (Lizard Head Red, Tax Alement, One Wit W nder) and the food menu (chimicurri steak tacos with a side of calabacitas), Steamworks looks like a sure bet for quality "gastropub" fare.
Carver Brewing Co : For a more casual taste of American beer, you can hit Carver for growlers and kegs. Their site quotes Ben Franklin (a sure sign of good character): "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
Ska Brewing Company : Complete with comic book mythology relating the story of "two guys named Dave and Bill [who] learned cheap hotels in venice italy that while they loved gulping down good beer, they weren't old enough to buy it." Inspired by "thinking music, also known as Ska," they decided to brew their own beer. And so the Legion of Ska was born.
Cliff Palace is huge! Across the valley, I can see another, much smaller dwelling cheap hotels in venice italy in an alcove. Somehow its inhabitants must have scrambled up and down the overhang to farm and hunt on top of the mesa.
We posed the question on @GuardianTravel #TwiTrips cheap hotels in venice italy as to where Marcel, Andy and Jacob should head after Mesa Verde, and this invite immediately popped up from @Telluride.com , which looks stunning (even out of ski season) cheap hotels in venice italy and is around 75 miles from Cortez...It just goes to show how warm, friendly and generous everyone is being on this road trip.
Now actually standing inside a kiva, a kind of underground chamber reached by the ladder. It takes a while for my eyes to get used to the gloom. This would have been a gathering place, the ranger tells me: for weaving, preparing food and religious ceremonies. cheap hotels in venice italy It's got a ventilation shaft. It's nice and cool down here, and would have been easy to keep warm in winter cheap hotels in venice italy with a fire.
The Cliff Palace Loop Road takes you past Cliff Palace, Balcony House, and overlooks other cliff dwellings - but you can only get into these with a park ranger. So it's going to be a driveby/walkby experience for Marcel and co.
Even if you can't get tickets, a drive around the Cliff Palace Loop/Mesa Top Ruins Road is worth it as you can look down on some of the ruins and also you should be able to get some Frybread. Just at the southern tip of the park, the road juts into the neighbouring Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation and there you should find a stall/stand selling it. It isn't very healthy but it was good.
Spruce Tree House is the third largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde and was built between 1211 and 1278 by the ancestors cheap hotels in venice italy of the Puebloan peoples of the South West (Taos, Acuna, Hopi, Zuni). It was first discovered in 1888 by two local ranchers cheap hotels in venice italy out searching for stray cattle. The dwelling has about 130 rooms and 8 kivas (ceremonial chambers), built into a natural alcove in the cliffs. It is thought to have been home for about 60 to 80 people.
Okay. The morning tours are fully booked. They look AMAZING. You get to climb up ladders into these ancient dwellings. We've armed ourselves with guidebooks and are setting off on a DIY tour of the bits we're allowed to visit on our own.
I'm excited to see these ancient dwellings. Back at the Silver Bean, I got chatting to a woman who works at Mesa Verde. She said the people cheap hotels in venice italy who lived in them are the ancestors of the Pueblo Indians who live in Arizona and New Mexico.
We celebrate the reunion of Andy and his wallet cheap hotels in venice italy over breakfast at the Silver Bean on Main Street in Cortez. This is an eyecatching cheap hotels in venice italy little diner housed in an old Airstream caravan. It's run by Pamela cheap hotels in venice italy Lutz and Hayley Randall. Pamela's had the business for 14 years and one end of the caravan serves as a drive-thru window.
But also, over the band's 14-year history, Olly has put in his fair share of time on the road, criss-crossing the States in a tour bus/van/car. Here's the film to prove it. So he should know what makes for a good playlist.
One blip yesterday was that Andy lost his wallet and was facing a classic travel nightmare. We spent last night trying cheap hotels in venice italy to figure out where it might have gone (Moab? Dove Creek? Hanksville?) and today he was going to have to cancel all his credit cards on a crackly international call.
I loved the landscapes and Mr Depp reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a Native American disguise, but we were so shattered from yesterday's exploits that we crept out at 11pm, trying not to disturb the other two punters.

The hotel also has a 70-lane bowling alley, which we loved, plus an 18-screen movie theater, Irish p

Las Vegas may not be the obvious destination for a family vacation but when Margot Black, her husband and 5-year-old son decided to head to Sin City, they found that with some forward planning, a handful of coupons and sturdy walking shoes, it could be a G-rated, family-friendly trip.
Guess what? It s okay to take your kids to Las Vegas. Who knew? The trick is to plan your trip in advance, find the best deals and make sure that you book into a hotel that isn t bursting cruise disney vacation walt at the seams with scantily clad showgirls, cigar-chomping high-rollers and raucous frat boys.
Of four nights we booked The Orleans Hotel Casino , which is located just off the Strip, for three of them. We picked The Orleans because it offered incredible value and was super family friendly. More importantly to us, they offered a professional baby-sitting service – not just a girl in clear high heels called Candy looking for a little extra income – a lovely big pool and a fantastic indoor activity center.
cruise disney vacation walt Unusually for this arid desert city, it rained a lot during our five-day visit but we didn t let it put us off enjoying all there was on offer. Happily, their indoor play center, Kids Tyme, proved to be a happy distraction cruise disney vacation walt to our 5-year-old, and we were impressed: there was plenty of adult supervision, it was clean and the various activities included interactive play stations, a coin-free arcade room and a multilevel jungle gym with chutes and ladders.
The hotel also has a 70-lane bowling alley, which we loved, plus an 18-screen movie theater, Irish pub, comedy club, cabaret and all the usual casino fixings including a poker room, slot salon and plenty of video keno machines (we told our son he was playing Bingo).
But here s the thing to remember; this is Las Vegas. And while you might want to protect your offspring from the more colorful sights, the reality is that you will see boobs on flyers, as well as showgirls, drag queens and performers in sequins and feather boas walking around. My son certainly noticed all the tushies but if you can handle the sights, this can be an exciting and affordable vacation.
In fact, Vegas must be the most couponed city in the world. Look in every booklet, leaflet, brochure, flyer and online for money-off cruise disney vacation walt or two-for-one deals. cruise disney vacation walt It ll be worth your while and you ll probably save a couple of hundred dollars.
One our first day, we visited Siegfried Roy s Secret Garden Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage Hotel , an enchanting and wondrous world that is home to white lions, white tigers, panthers, leopards, and a family of Bottlenose Dolphins. Jett loved getting so close to these gentle creatures. The hotel also features a magnificent indoor coral reef and 20,000-gallon saltwater tank that sits behind the front desk. It s filled with around 450 fish including angelfish, puffer fish, tangs and other exotic sea creatures. cruise disney vacation walt All wonderful eye candy for a youngster.
We did a lot of walking – that s just the way Vegas is set up and I d say if you have small children, bring a stroller, even if they barely use one anymore. Heck, I could have sat in a stroller myself. We would park the car at a lot in the middle of where we wanted to be, and then walk from there although the day would often end with my son, Jett, being piggy-backed home. So we used Monorail passes , which is probably cruise disney vacation walt the fastest way to travel the Strip. There are monorail locations in seven hotels, running from The Sahara Hotel to the MGM Grand Hotel, cruise disney vacation walt and children under 5-years-old ride free. Our son thought it was just another theme park ride that "needed cruise disney vacation walt more neon."
But the biggest, and most memorable, ride was yet to come. The next day we splurged on a helicopter trip to the majestic west rim of the Grand Canyon. Yes, it was expensive but as we flew over buses full of tourists sitting on the freeway, we realized it was worth the expense. We booked with Papillon Airways , and while their website is confusing (review what you are purchasing and also double-check your departure times), it was a truly memorable day out. Our four-hour trip consisted cruise disney vacation walt of two 35-minute helicopter rides to the Grand Canyon and back. It goes without saying that you get to see one of our most incredible natural landmarks from the most amazing vantage point. As well of the buses we also flew over more beautiful sights including the volcanic Black Mountains, Grapevine Mesa and the Grand Wash Cliffs. The scale of the canyon is breath-taking but Jett was most impressed with his headset; he loved hearing the captain talk and fly the copter. Once we landed in the canyon we had a hurried box lunch but it the trip was sensational and I d recommend it to anyone. A real family travel highlight.
Back in Las Vegas, we opted to make the most of the hotel s delicious buffet. I ate too much but when in Rome, eat as much as you can (or something like that!). We also enjoyed dining at the hotel s Prime Rib Loft restaurant and as you d expect the prime rib was stupendous and a hit with my meat-loving cruise disney vacation walt husband, as well as their Courtyard Cafe.
The next day we booked into Exotics Racing , which was only a short 20-minutes drive from our hotel. This was boy s heaven all wrapped up in the shape of red Ferrari. Or Ferraris, I should say, as there were many. First the whole family did two laps in a Porsche Cayenne, and I felt like a super sexy soccer mom. Then my husband drove two race car laps in a brand new 550 hp Porsche 991 Turbo, and he wished he had booked more laps. He felt he d just got the hang of the car and the track, and it was time to go. I did two laps of a Drifting Ride Along in a Corvette  Z06 with a trained driver and was truly terrified within 15 seconds. I can cross Monaco Grand Prix racer off my bucket list.
During the evenings and afternoons we also managed to squeeze in a couple of shows including a 4 pm matinee of the super family-friendly and funny Nathan Burton s Comedy Magic (after cruise disney vacation walt which Jett then unsuccessfully cruise disney vacation walt tried to make his homework cruise disney vacation walt disappear) at the Flamingo, and Cirque du Soleil s Mystere at Treasure Island, which was just spectacular and a massive hit with the whole family. I think you owe it to yourself cruise disney vacation walt to see a different Cirque show every time you re in Vegas, our son sat at the edge of his seat during the entire show.
In between the rain showers and all the helicopters, shows and the fast cars, we also enjoyed a dip in the pool. My one regret is that we didn t book another cruise disney vacation walt full day at The Orleans to enjoy a family cabana and a cocktail poolside. Instead, we headed to downtown Las Vegas for a night at The Golden Nugget because we d heard their Shark Tank pool was a must-see for children, and one of the best in the world. Unfortunately the weather was against us but on a less rainy day you can swim in a pool next to a giant shark tank – one of those uniquely Vegas experiences. It s a good excuse to return to this fast-moving colorful crazy noisy city, which turned out to be a surprising cruise disney vacation walt family hit. Rooms at The Orleans start at $34.99 per night, and at the Golden Nugget from $62, per night
You can book cheap family rooms, the food is tasty and affordable, and if you clip your coupons and search online for the best deals, you can win big – and let s face it, not everyone who visits Vegas can say that!

Mexico: When asked “What is the average cost per airline ticket, per person you are booking for clie

In 2002, Delta Air Lines decided to impose a zero commission national auto rental policy on travel agents sales. Other US carriers followed soon after. "The death of the travel agent" seemed liked a plausible forecast back then. Today, over a decade after the airlines decided to ruthlessly reduce then ultimately eliminate commissions paid to travel agents, the job and the profession is very much alive and thriving. Did you know that about one-third national auto rental of all travel agents in the United States generated a gross travel sales of $18 billion in 2012? That fraction of US travel agents equals to the total membership of a Minnesota-based association of travel agents called Travel Leaders Group.
The voice of the travel agent is loud and clear, as proven today by the Travel Leaders Group when it released its findings on the average cost of airfare along with cruise booking trends from its recent 2013 Fall Travel Trends Survey. "While there is a definite upward trend in the average cost of airfare for select geographic destination, that has not had an adverse effect on overall bookings – in fact, 85% of the 946 Travel Leaders Group U.S.-based national auto rental travel agency owners, managers national auto rental and frontline travel agents polled indicate national auto rental that overall national auto rental travel bookings are the same or higher than last year at this time (compared to 80.9% in 2012). As for cruise booking trends, 84.4% of those polled indicate bookings are on par with or better than 2012 and, with respect to river cruising, there is an increased interest in Continental Europe, Russia and the Mississippi River."
Travel Leaders Group's survey revealed national auto rental that 6.2% of its members saw an increase over last year in the number of the average cost per airline ticket national auto rental for Hawaii national auto rental bookings $1,000 or more, and an 11.3% increase among those saying airline tickets to Europe are averaging $1,300 or more.
"Some of that cost may be 'perks' that business and leisure travelers are willing to pay for – such as extra leg room. In addition, more than eight out of every 10 agents surveyed indicated that their bookings are equal to or higher than last year," Travel Leaders Group CEO Barry Liben said. "So, clearly American business and leisure travelers are not scaling back. Perhaps they have adjusted to the 'new reality' of airline national auto rental pricing, because the demand for travel is robust."
According to him, Travel Leaders Group members, in the realm of cruising trends, national auto rental nearly 70% of agents who book river cruises are already booking vacations for 2014. "River cruising national auto rental continues to be one of the hottest trends in the travel industry and, with Europe and Russia leading the way in terms of increased bookings, any increases in airfare costs are not deterring consumers."
national auto rental Domestic (Continental 48): When asked "What is the average cost per airline ticket, per person you are booking for clients within the (U.S.) Continental 48?" 67.5% of Travel Leaders Group agents selected $300-499, while 17.9% indicated $500-599. (In 2012 the percentages were 73.6% and 12.6% respectively.)
Hawaii: When asked "What is the average cost per airline ticket, per person you are booking for clients to Hawaii?" 51.8% of those polled indicated $700-999 as compared to 56.3% last year. It should be noted that 28.8% selected "$1,000 or more" in this year's survey.
Caribbean: When asked "What is the average cost per airline ticket, per person you are booking national auto rental for clients to the Caribbean?" 47.6% of Travel Leaders Group agents selected $500-699 while 19.5% indicated $700-799. (In 2012 the percentages were 52.4% and 15.4% respectively.)
Mexico: When asked "What is the average cost per airline ticket, per person you are booking for clients to Mexico?" 53.5% of agents polled indicated $400-599 as compared to 61.3% last year. An additional 21.3% indicated $600-699 in this year's survey.
Europe: When asked "What is the average cost per airline ticket, per person you are booking national auto rental for clients to Europe?" 42.4% indicated $1,300 dollars or more (compared to 31.1% in 2012), while 46.2% of agents indicated $1,000-1,299 as compared to 53.3% last year.

Viking encourages singles who wish to book into a double occupancy cabin to bring a friend and there

Consumer interest in river cruising is soaring, based on trade surveys conducted by CLIA , American Express and others this year. Clients can t get enough of river cruising for its easygoing personal tour guide in malaysia style, onboard social aura, intimate ships and inclusive value.
Because of the small ship sizes, open seating dining and included touring, river cruises are perfect for solo cruisers, believes Amber Blecker , owner, CruiseOne , Aurora, CO. River cruise passengers on European voyages are often like-minded people with similar interests.
The good news is that some lines sailing European rivers have a limited number of solo cabins for single travelers personal tour guide in malaysia to book. For example, Scenic Cruises has one single balcony suite per ship. Six AmaWaterways ships offer single occupancy staterooms of 140 square feet.
Viking has a small number of dedicated solo cabins on their ships, according personal tour guide in malaysia to Blecker. Viking personal tour guide in malaysia Legend and Viking Prestige both feature single cabins. Tauck s two new vessels, Savor and Inspire , launching in 2014 in Europe will each feature four dedicated solo cabins. Uniworld will have one dedicated single cabin on its newest ship, the S.S. Catherine , launching in 2014.
Viking encourages singles who wish to book into a double occupancy cabin to bring a friend and thereby avoid any single supplement. But for clients who wish to travel alone, nearly all lines have some reduced rates for the second fare. A-ROSA, for example, has Category personal tour guide in malaysia C through F single supplements of that range from 20 percent personal tour guide in malaysia to 100 percent.
Some lines waive the single supplement totally, either on certain sailings, for early bookings or during other promotions. A-ROSA waives the supplement for Category S and A staterooms. Avalon Waterways , which has hundreds of solo travelers sailing each year, waives single supplements on certain voyages.
Uniworld provides single travelers with reduced single supplements on multiple departures as well as waived simple supplements on 29 voyages in 2014. Among the waived supplement sailings are Burgundy Provence on April 20; Castles along the Rhine on May 10, 17, November 2 and 9; Classic Christmas Markets on December 22; and Venice the Gems of Northern personal tour guide in malaysia Italy on April 6, May 4 and 11, June 22, July 6 and 27; and August 3 to name just a few.
Each line deals with it a bit differently, acknowledges Blecker, but a smart agent can definitely help their client find an excellent value. AmaWaterways has many designated voyages with no single supplement. For reservations booked and deposited prior on or before November 30, single personal tour guide in malaysia supplements are waived personal tour guide in malaysia on that line s 2014 Paris Normandy cruises on April 10; May 1 and 8; July 3, 17, 24 and 31; August 7, 14 and 28; October 16 and 23; and November 6 and 27.
Multiple 2014 AmaWaterways wine-themed voyages also have waived single supplements if the cruise is booked and deposited by January 31, 2014. A sampling includes Enticing Douro on March 25 and April 1, 2014; Paris Normandy on March 27 and November 13 and 20; and Provence Spain on November 20.
On Tauck, solo guests pay no single supplement personal tour guide in malaysia on all Category 1 accommodations for all departures of the line s 2014 European river cruises. It s also reducing personal tour guide in malaysia the single supplement by $1,000 on Category 4 and 5 cabins on certain sailings.
Usually the waived single personal tour guide in malaysia supplements and any special pricing offers are time sensitive personal tour guide in malaysia in terms of the booking date and also capacity controlled for many lines. Certain restrictions also apply, so ask at the time of booking.
Tauck has added a Solo Travel section and a Solo Travel Forum to its website to serve guests who might be thinking personal tour guide in malaysia about going solo on their vacations. A Scenic Cruises spokesman told Travel Agent that river cruising is probably one of best ways for a single to travel and not feel like they are being ignored. And probably it s safer than an all-singles tour as there is no pressure to meet and mingle, unless desired, of course.
River cruises, by their nature, are very relaxed socially. Unlike ocean cruising, the vessels typically sail during the daytime, so passengers often congregate in ever-changing groups in the lounge. There, they might engage in conversation, watch the scenic beauty passing by, have drinks or snacks, and gather when it s time for the tour. Or, they can quietly sit or read if they so desire, something others are doing as well.
But Blecker says a river cruise s flow naturally fosters socialization and even the most unsure new solo traveler will soon meet others and be included organically. She also says the small group size for the touring also mixes up passengers even further.

Remember that if a company belongs to a member organization that doesn’t mean you’re protected. Call

In the past month, both Women's Day and CareerCast received heavy backlash when they questioned whether travel agents still matter in this economy. CareerCast called out travel agents as one of the most useless jobs in the current economy, reasoning that most phases of the travel agent's job are accessible for users online and without fees.  Meanwhile, Women's Day offered up 10 things your travel agent won't tell you. Both articles were overwhelmed with thousands of comments, many by travel agents themselves.
In a word, yes. According to recent comments from Paul M. Ruden , Senior Vice President for American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), travel agents hold a relevant portion of market share. In 2012, there were 143 million transactions done by travel agents who sold $86 billion worth of air travel that's 64 percent of the market. Incorporated into this number are online travel agents, but brick-and-mortar agents can still be accounts of $9 billion annually in tour package and $15 billion annually in cruise travel.
Ruden concludes, travel agents are alive and well – and they do a robust business by providing expertise american express platinum travel services and advice to millions of travelers american express platinum travel services every year, using a combination of new and old technologies.
Additional information from a Marketwatch report noted that one in four airline tickets is still sold by brick-and-mortar travel agents, 70 percent of those tickets are for corporate travel and the rest leisure..
A further study from Harrison Group and American Express Publishing recognized that travel agents are geared toward affluent travel. Per the study, approximately 20 percent of consumers who have a household income greater american express platinum travel services than $100,000 used a travel agent to book a ticket in the last year. This is an increase from 2009, when one out of every seven household used a travel agent.
american express platinum travel services Even if you are not in the highest income bracket, there are many good reasons to hire a travel agent. Sure, most travelers can probably handle booking a simple vacation. But if you are booking a complicated itinerary or traveling with a large group, not only will a travel agent handle all of the logistics so nothing goes wrong, american express platinum travel services but often they have the relationships to be sure that you get the best rate.
Here's the thing. Don't just hire the first travel agent you find online. Hire one that is specialized for what you want to do. Look for operators that are members of the United States Tour Operators Association , the American Society of Travel Agents, or the National Tour Association , which means is they're required to carry a certain amount of insurance and adhere to specific standards.
Remember that if a company belongs to a member organization that doesn't mean you're protected. Call the company to vet them. You'll want to know out how long they've been in business, whether they are licensed and how much insurance they carry.
You can always check with the Better Business Bureau in the company's home state to see if there have been any complaints lodged against them. Then, ask the company to give you references of former customers.

The US Travel Insurance Association (UStiA) has produced a short video, Why We Do What We Do, interviewing the people who help care for and transport critically ill travelers. These dedicated people - from a nurse escort to a pilot and medical flight director fly to all corners of the globe to transport seriously ill or injured travelers who require medical evacuation, UStiA said.

I find the travel agent role has changed much like the way a car salesman has as well. We tend to ga

In this age of internet and social media, the travel agent is said to be an endangered species. Most statistics indeed seem to confirm a lasting trend: In Spain, there were 6,075 travel agencies in 2012. This represents a loss of one third compared to just five years earlier, when there were 9,127 travel agencies in 2007. If one looks at the ratio of travel agency per number of citizens, the situation is just as alarming. In Spain, there is now 1.29 travel agency (point of sale) per 10,000 citizens, while this ratio is down to 1.2 in Germany and 0.8 in France! In Canada, it is estimated that more than half of all travel agencies vanished between 1996 and 2006. A CHANGING ROLE
Truth be told, we no longer go to travel agents for information alone, as there are countless websites, social platforms such as Youtube and Pinterest for aspirational videos and photos, not to mention best tickets for dallas nascar race user review sites like Yelp and Tripadvisor to gather a better opinion about a destination and specific hotels, restaurants or attractions. In this context, the travel agent role has evolved into that of a consultant, helping with the decision process and adding value along the way. Here are three ways this can take place: 1. SAVE TIME
It may sound ironic, but with all the technology available at our finger tips, including countless mobile applications now providing all sorts of detailed information from things to do, to weather and local maps, one might think we can sort out a trip in no time. Yet, Expedia Media Solutions recently found that the average packaged-travel purchase takes place after 38 visits to various websites, from the DMO ( destination marketing organization , at country, regional or city levels), to OTA ( online travel agencies , i.e. Expedia, Booking.com), and various best tickets for dallas nascar race hotel sites.
While many may find the process fun, there is a growing crowd not interested in wasting time visiting close to 40 sites before deciding upon an upcoming trip. A savvy travel agent usually knows where to look and has access to central reservation systems allowing best tickets for dallas nascar race to tap into latest availabilities best tickets for dallas nascar race and promotional rates, and will come back to a customer with 3-4 best options to choose from. Time is money, as the saying goes, so time saved here can be better used dreaming of the next trip, or buying sunscreen! best tickets for dallas nascar race 2. PEACE OF MIND
The US Government is shutting down, so what happens to those reservations for 3 nights in a National Park? You are headed for France and you hear the national train company (SNCF) is about to start a massive best tickets for dallas nascar race strike, halting all trains best tickets for dallas nascar race for an undefinite period of time? You arrive at your destination and find out the hotel you were supposed to stay at is either overbooked or, worse, is still under construction with half the rooms unavailable? From Icelandic volcanoes to airlines going bankrupt leaving passengers stranded, horror stories abound in the tourism world, even though we prefer to forget about them. A travel agent can become a lifeline in such cases.
But things don't have to be catastrophic in order to get peace of mind from a travel agent. In fact, while most simple transactions don't require a travel agent nowadays, i.e. a local reservation with a known airline, car rental company or accommodation, it's when the itinerary becomes more complex that things can get complicated. If you wish to travel three weeks in South Africa or in Asia, with different types of accommodations, a rail journey or a local cruise experience, then trying to figure it all out alone is a much more daunting task. Here again, a good travel agent will provide you with recommendations, ensuring peace of mind through expertise you perhaps don't have. 3. PERSONALIZED ADVICE
More importantly, a good travel agent is one that understands your needs and wants, and that can go as far as to anticipate what you'd want from an upcoming travel experience. Last December, I dealt with my travel agent for a complex request: a multi-generation vacation in the Carribbean, during Christmas time. We wanted to have an affordable yet memorable experience, with 13 people travelling, adults best tickets for dallas nascar race and kids ranging from 3 to 76 years old.
My agent filtered the first selection, suggesting a chosen few resorts from which we did our validation via Tripadvisor. From our discussions, she understood what we were looking best tickets for dallas nascar race after, so she made room arrangements ensuring best tickets for dallas nascar race we paid less, were grouped in the same area of the hotel and even logged in a call with the director of sales (a friend of hers) to get us an upgrade once on the premises. We even got our seats confirmed on the flight at no additional cost… all little things that add up and contribute to delivering a better overall travel experience. RELATIONSHIP IS KEY
I find the travel agent role has changed much like the way a car salesman has as well. We tend to gather all information regarding our next car online, read reviews and discuss with friends and relatives before we ever visit any car dealership. We enter most showrooms much more educated than ever before. Thus, we expect the salesman to be able to give us added value in the discussion, or perhaps assist us with peripheral aspects of warranty or financing, for example. Nobody wants to hear the salesguy tell us "boy, have I got a model for you!"
Likewise, almost nobody enters a travel agency with no clue of their next destination. We certainly expect the travel agent to be savvy about up and coming travel trends, and to perhaps give us some cues following best tickets for dallas nascar race a recent familiarization best tickets for dallas nascar race trip in a given destination, but the influence level certainly isn't what it once was. Nevertheless, travel agents in 2013 ought to have a social media presence where they can share their recent discoveries, client testimonials and perhaps promotional offers that can appeal to their ongoing clientele. Loyalty marketing and a strong database management strategy best tickets for dallas nascar race are vital for travel best tickets for dallas nascar race agents, as acquisition best tickets for dallas nascar race will always prove much harder than retention and increasing the share-of-wallet with ongoing clientele.
One thing is for sure: agents best tickets for dallas nascar race who add value in the travel purchase process are those who will maintain and thrive with their business. Those who don't evolve and stick to their old ways of doing business are doomed for a slow, yet inevitable downward spiral…

The Travel Leaders Group s proprietary suite of hotel initiatives which features the Worldwide Hotel Program, Select Hotels Resorts and Stream prepaid hotel program is an unqualified success the group says.

Because of the enormous success of both the Travel Leaders Group Worldwide Hotel Program and its high-end, luxury cousin Select Hotels Resorts we are suddenly finding ourselves the victims of our own success cheap airline ticket to miami as both of those programs are proving to require much more specialized focus than we initially anticipated to maintain momentum cheap airline ticket to miami and further accelerate their growth, said Travel Leaders cheap airline ticket to miami Group CEO Barry Liben .
