Travel (General) - December 2006

I'm going skiing and am worrying about altitude sickness. I heard taking iron pills before will help, and then I heard drinking lots of water before I leave would help? What should I do?

I am traveling to Barbados to study abroad for a semester in the fall. I am staying with a family while I am there and I was wondering what process I would have to take to be able to bring her with me and what my cost would be.

I've read that less British people are visiting America, particularly Florida. Why is this? Over zealous customs and security at airports, perhaps? Is flying more trouble than it is worth?

I was gonna do ingredient jars but they will be fragile and will shift in the mail. Cookies, also, are pretty heavy when being shipped. I need some ideas for lighter gifts. I will be shipping a lot of them together.

I am a South African living in Britain. When I called Virgin Atlantic to ask if I could get refund on a return ticket for South Africa next year or to change my destination I was informed that I could not, which is quite upsetting as I do not have plans to go to South Africa next year. My contact number is 07842766788. When I purchased my ticket through Virgin Atlantic I was not informed by travel agent of these details concerning no reimbursement.
Could you kindly assist me.

Thank you
Sylvana

Mine was a guesthouse in Tokyo that a friend booked me into, thinking I would like to stay in the cheapest place available. On arrival the owner wouldn't let me into the place before disinfecting my bags. Then he showed me to the, um, very retro room. There was a TV with a meter that I had to pump coins into. Haven't seen one of those since the 70s! There was only hot water available for about 1 hour per day and he told me when I wanted it switched on I had to shout very loudly. There was an 11.30 pm curfew. Of course I came back from my night out at 11.35pm to find myself locked out. There was a sign on the door with a number for me to call. I spent the next 2 hours phoning before he answered.
By this time I was a little bit annoyed so when he did let me in I picked up my stuff and went to the airport and slept on a bench until my flight departed.
No wonder I was the only guest. He was a bit of a loon.

Me and a friend want to travel around Europe (we are from the UK) for a few weeks, possibly hiring a car. I know that I need a 'pet passport' with rabies vaccinations etc. But I want to know what reception you will get in hotels/hostels when you have a small dog. Anybody gone on holiday with a pet before? He travels well and is very cute, but I dont want to stress him out. I want it to be a fun experience for him too. We're thinking of Italy, France, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic and Spain. Any advice? Thanks
