4 5 6 7 [Next] - Often folks come to the Big Island of Hawaii to see the volcano. They sometimes do not realize that the volcano is at a cool and sometimes cold 4000 ft. elevation and in a rain forest that often exceeds 200 inches a year. So for those who wish to visit the world famous Kilauea Volcano they should be reminded that they may need warm clothes, rain gear or a 'large clear garbage bag' and a flashlight 'for those who wish to see the night show' (required by the National Forestry Service). Many have missed seeing the volcano after spending thousands of dollars in travel costs to see it by not having these tips. Hale Maluhia Country Inn B&B, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 18-Dec-2003 Hale Maluhia Country Inn B&B, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii ID1054 - Hawaii is one of the sportfishing capitals of the world, but it's not for everyone. It's vital that you review the boats available and see which trips best match your group's needs. Looking for action for the kids? Look for a trip that combines BOTH bottom fishing and sportfishing. Sportfishing is rigorous work, and requires patience. A trip that concentrates solely on sportfishing will NOT be appreciated by younger members of your group. At least with bottom fishing, children will have the opportunity to land a fish themselves, albeit a small one (under 10 pounds). Mixed party onboard? Be sure that the boat you charter has private head (bathroom) facilities. If the boat in question does not mention this, be SURE to ask. MauiFishing.com 18-Dec-2003 MauiFishing.com ID1051 - When staying at a casino/hotel in Las Vegas, try to do most of your gambling in your own hotel. Ask the cashier for a 'players card', and show it to the dealer (or insert it in the slot machine) before you start playing. At the end of your stay, the price of your room will be adjusted downward depending on how much you play. If you're going to gamble anyway, you may as well have it lower the price of your room. 4-Aug-2005 Las Vegas Vacation Guide ID1418 - When travelling to Canada you're eligible to receive a refund for the tax you paid on some things that you bring out of the country - and hotel costs. The government provides a form, but it's kind of a pain. Some hotels offer Refund Release cards which are low or no cost - all you do is sign and date the card and drop in the mail from home and you get a check in the mail, BUT it only applies to accommodation refunds. BEWARE: a couple of the companies that are offering a 'Tax Back Service' are taking a LARGE portion of the refund - in Whistler, B.C., many of the hotels will sign you up unless you SPECIFICALLY REFUSE. Worst case is that on a $14 refund they will take $12.50 - $13.10! The hotels make over $25,000 per year off of tourists' money. Watch when you're mailing in your return, too. Companies have forms that are very similar to the government forms. If you're not going to use the Refund Release cards and do it by hand, make sure you grab the right form. 1-Jan-2000 Greg Christenson ID1041 - Alcohol in Vegas
