Travel - 10 June 2007

I was thinking of buying American Express Travellers Cheques, and was wondering how difficult would it be cash them in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid), and Portugal (Lisbon). Do I have to find an American Express? Do I have to go to an American Express travel center? And if so- are they easy to find in Spain, and if not- where else can I get them cashed. And can I use them at restaurant? Like cash, or do I need to cash it in first? And do they charge fees? I know there is a fee for buying them, but is there a fee for getting cash back as well?

I am getting ready to graduate from college and I would like to take a much needed trip. I have narrowed it down to Thailand and Brazil. I dont have too much money but I want to be able to enjoy myself. For a 22 year old, which place would be more interesting?

Was it the US or Canadian gov't that made the law requiring citizens from the US to have passports to visit Canada?

I wonder if there are things that people really need but don't bring because they forget or don't think about it.

I'm hoping to find a little hotel/pub/b&b in London for next weekend as although my partner and I would love to go away for the weekend, various things are keeping us in London. However time away from flatmates etc is needed! Am looking for somewhere preferably west-ish, or at least in Zone 2-3, that is on the cheap side (no more than £60 per night per room), and generally lacking in cockroaches and other infestations......

Being a Londoner I'm not in the need for touristy things, just somewhere cheap, clean, cosy and nice for a weekend away from flatmates... Perhaps any fellow Londoners know of somewhere secret and super?

I've seen lots of stuff on all the usual booking websites but generally get freaked out by TripAdvisor reviews, haha...

Thoughts and help appreciated...!

will be a 7days6nights trip with parents. hopes to make it a memorable trip as they never travel out of Singapore before.
since we have a week there, i wish to visit macau and shenzhen while in HK. btw i'll be staying in Stanford Hotel (Mongkok)

in VERY VERY DETAILED answers, describe the routes, e.g what transportation serv. number.. etc.
- as I'll be in Mongkok, which is faster to get a ferry; going to TST's ChinaFerryTerminal or SheungWan's ShunTak Centre Ferry?
- from TST station, can I walk to the "China Ferry Terminal" to ferry to ShenZhen?
- Macau Ferry Terminal; is it near the central so I can just walk in, or do i have to use transportation?
- ShenZhen Ferry Terminal; is it near the central so I can just walk in, or do i have to use transportation?

Thank you all for the help. I have alot more questions, do mail me if possible. I need all the help i can get as im only 18 and im the only one guiding my parents around.

Once again, I sincerely thank all of you.

What are some of your favorite travel websites to browse?

I'm not looking for online travel agencies or airlines, but rather, interesting sites of locations around the world that offer history, photos, random facts, tips, and so on. It can be a site for a certain destination or a site which offers alot of information on many places. Thank you. :)
