Q -  We are going to be attending a conference  in London next  month and we re trying to figure out whether we should be booking our air on American or United out of Chicago. The seating in Business Class is really important to us and we are wondering which of these has beds that will allow us to stretch asian escorts los angeles out? It looks like we will be flying a 777 on United or a 767 on American.  Are the beds all the same?
A We were in a great mood here until you asked about airline seating. It is a rather upsetting topic because they are definitely not the same. There are no industry asian escorts los angeles rules or even norms .  Airlines buy a shell aircraft and then customize it with seating that meets their needs. Financial needs almost always come ahead of aesthetic needs. When flying, you can analyze exactly what your seating asian escorts los angeles options are going to be. We keep a book on our desks that we constantly update with seating stats on every aircraft operated by every one of the world s important airlines. It is currently 47 pages.
The American 767-300 offers a seat width of only 18.5 inches. We would expect that in coach not Business Class. The aircraft does not have lie flat beds. American has equipped this aircraft with Angle Lie Flat beds. That is a big difference. On any flight over five hours, we think you should look for true, 360 degree horizontal, lie-flat seats. Frequent travelers report that angled beds that do not allow them to lie flat, as you would at home, are far less desirable than true Lie flats . Airline marketing lingo tries to confuse the consumer as each seat has Lie Flat in its nomenclature. The question you need to ask is true lie flat or angled lie flat seat?
The United 777 200 Series will give you true Lie-flat beds plus 20 inches asian escorts los angeles of seat width. But beware, one version of the United 777, the V3 model, has Recliner Seats in Business and doesn t even have beds. On your routing, asian escorts los angeles however, you will have better seating on United in Business Class.
One caveat. If you are flying American overseas on a 777-300 ER Series aircraft, you will have true Lie-flat seats as well as 26 inches of seat width, asian escorts los angeles clearly preferable to United s configuration. So it all boils down to the exact type of aircraft you are flying.
One more final caveat. Our experience tells us that airline reservation agents are not always a good source of accurate information about seating details. Do not try to get comparative seating statistics asian escorts los angeles directly from the airlines.

Q Now that the Iranians have promised not to build nukes and the Syrians are dismantling their nerve gas depots, it is time for a family cruise to Israel asian escorts los angeles we ve been putting off for close to 20 years. We re not worried, if you re not worried, about taking our teens, 15 and 17, to Israel on a cruise this summer.

Of course you should go you should not have waited this long. Travel in Israel is far safer than in many areas of the US and the Israelis are better drivers.

There really are two major ports in Israel. Ashdod is on the West Coast, in the middle of the country within driving distance of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea on the eastern border. Tel Aviv is north of the port, along the coast.
Q We are really excited to be going on one of the first scheduled tours to Cuba. We just signed up but we had two immediate questions. Will our iPhone work in Cuba and what do we do with our Passport? Will we be carrying it with us?

Q Our family asian escorts los angeles of five is booked on a Crystal Cruise to New England asian escorts los angeles and Canada in top suites in Mid-October. We booked this cruise largely based on the traveltruth ratings, the most honest we ve found. But given our substantial investment for two doubles asian escorts los angeles and a single all upper decks, I am concerned about my lack of ability to cancel close in should a hurricane be forecast. asian escorts los angeles Two questions how likely is this possibility during mid-October and how do I best protect my investment?
A Long-term weather prognostication is a dying art. There are just too many exceptions to the old weather rules since we ve started to see the effects of major weather pattern changes (our conspiracy  nutjob readers hate it when we say global warming asian escorts los angeles ) Theoretically you should be safe cruising the coast of the Atlantic in Mid-October. But storms are possible. You can protect your investment by taking out one of the cancel for any reason riders offered through your consultant from Travelex or TravelGuard, two of the better asian escorts los angeles travel insurers.
Q My boyfriend and I are professionals in the fashion industry in New York and we are in dire need of a Caribbean getaway sometime in December, perhaps over the Holidays. We like hip resorts with progressive food and rooms with modern design touches. We also have rather high expectations about service, a rare commodity, from what we understand, on the islands. I m a Vegan, if that makes any difference. We d be bringing along some work, but mostly, this is a vacation for soaking up the sun and relaxing with a little Buddha music in the background. Any suggestions?
A First, do this so you are home by the 18th of December. You will save a great deal of money, more than enough to pay for a second vacation, and you may actually be able to get some seats on an aircraft. The resorts we are recommending are either sold out or close to it for the Holiday period.
We think you should concentrate your search on Parrot Cay or Gransevoort in the Turks Caicos. Check out Jade Mountain or Ladera on St. Lucia. Finally, you might love the vibe at the Eden Rock on St. Barts. Have your consultant get you the actual
