Travel (General) - July 2007

I am interested in a vacation in either Scotland or Ireland. Which is the better vacation and which is the least expensive?
I am primarily interested in the typical "emerald Celtic experience". Thanks.

I was in a very small, two room crowded airport in Key West, FL. I was in the departure terminal in a very long line and realized that I had forgotten my ticket in my car (my stupid fault, this I know!). Anyway, I was attempting to exit the terminal (one room) when about 20+ elderly ladies were entering very slowly into the room. I was the only one trying to get out, and I asked if they could please excuse me and let me out. According to common courtesy, the person exiting is to have the "right of way" for lack of a better term (think of an elevator--don't even get me started on that!).
The lady then nastily said to me, "Can't you WAIT?!?"
If I had waited for all of them, it would have been in excess of 5 minutes, and I was on the verge of missing my flight anyway, so I said I could not wait and scooted out the door, much to their dismay, with them yelling at me (it took me 2 seconds). I know that I didn't follow etiquette to the T, but I don't think I was out of line. Any input?

I'm in NJ, and in december/january I plan on leaving my job. Before I find a new one, I would like to do a bit of traveling (and soul searching! :) I'd love to do something that perhaps involves some volunteer work... and also gives me time to see the sights. One place that I've always wanted to go is Australia, but I'm not 100% set that it's the only place I want to go. I wonder, would a travel agent be able to come up with something that would involve the volunteering, or at least me doing some good while vacationing? So, would it be worth it for me to go to one vs. taking the time to search out something for myself?

Also, do travel agents cost a LOT more than if I did it myself? I understand they charge for their services cause they need to make a living, but if it's a HUGE price spike, I'm not sure I'd use one...

Thanks!

I'm leaving to Russia in 2 days & while reading tips on what to take on carry-on, people are saying that theyre taking hair straighteners & curlers & cellphone chargers, but why? Why would you need those things on the plane if you could just keep them in your checked luggage?

I plan on taking my own pillow, blanket, a deck of cards, ipod, a few books, a few magazines, my camera, chapstick, some food & candy & gum, painkillers, & my glasses/case & contact case/eyedrops/cleaning solution.

Is this enough? Is it alright? It seems like I dont need to take so much- just things to entertain me. Sorry if the question seems stupid, but i was just confused why people were taking things such as hair curlers & tweezers & mosquito repellent on the plane if they obviously dont need it there-if they could just keep it in their luggage.

thanks; ill pick a best answer.

my dad, who refuses to go on any vacations, said that a week and a half vacation in florida is "a waste of money ." So my mom decided to plan a "tennis" vacation in New York during the Us Open for one week. Also, we planned to see two exhibition matches before that. Since my brother and I are tournament players, I thought this vacation would be productive in that we could observe and learn from the pros and have a good time at the same time. My dad was mad because the grand total for everything(food, tickets, hotel, airfare, etc) would come out to be about $4,500(he says he can affordit without worry). That sounds like a lot, but this would be the only vacation for the year for my mom, brother and me. I have been busy with school work,+ extracurriculars all year, , so I thought going somewhere else for only 9 days would be reasonable, . I know there are people who don't go on vacations and that "money doesn't grow on trees," but just considering the vacation itself, is it reasonable

I've overspent and now can't afford to send off for my passport until 21st next month. Is there any way of getting it quicker when I do eventually send off for it? I hear that the postoffice do a quick service for a little extra cost.
Thanks
