What are the benefits of I am travelling to Syndey this
weeked for a holiday from
Brisbane. Should I get travel
insurance? I have private
health insurance. I don't
think it is necessary. I have
had travel insurance before
but this was for overseas
travel.

One major thing that your health insurance won't cover though is problems with the airline/flight. For example, one trip from Melbourne - Gold Coast couldn't take off because of flooding on the Gold Coast. All that the airline could offer was a flight 2 days later or a credit. My travel insurance picked up the difference (about $350 extra) to change to a different airline and fly into Brisbane later that day. Other things to consider, if you get sick while you're away or even before you are due to go and you can't fly on the day you have booked, if you don't give 24 hours notice you won't be able to change your date on discounted tickets and you then have to forfeit your ticket and buy a new one for when you are well enough. Travel insurance would cover this. Mind you, there are many people out there who don't take insurance for domestic trips, I guess it comes down to whether you have to money to cover it if something goes wrong.... |

Can you travel from germany to I am planning a Eurotrip this
xmas and wondering if I can
use my Refugee Travel Document
to travel from one European
country to another. Thanks!

No you can not travel to Europe with a US refugee travel document. You would have to have a passport. Just having a refugee document won't be enough. No European country will accept this document. |

I am a travel agent with YTB. The company provided me with a website that people can go on to and book there travel. They also provide all the training and support I need to be a successful travel agent. It is really a great program and I've already booked travel for some friends of mine and seen the commission. When you sign up with the company you get your creditials in a couple weeks after signing up. This is a very legitimate and trustworthy company that has been in the business for over 5 years. Also publicly traded. Watch this presentation for a little more information: http://www.travelproinsider.co m my personal site is http://www.ytbtravel.com/kuhlb er Contact me and I will answer any questions you may have and give you more information. -Dane |

What is the best way to search I'm considering doing ground
travel to a place not too far
away from here. Air travel is
too expensive (especially
since my trip won't be too far
into the future) so I'm
considering going by train or
even by bus (train is
preferred.)
How do I go about searching
for travel fare? I'm hoping
there is a site similar to
Priceline or Travelocity that
deals with ground travel of
this sort.
DETAILS: I'm hoping to travel
a round-trip vacation between
Portland, Oregon and Calgary,
Alberta (Canada, of course).
I'll be travelling sometime
this month.
Once again, I'm looking for
help with finding places to
get trainfare (or anything
with ground travel) be it a
Priceline-similar site or
anything. I just need a way to
find and compare prices for
travelfare. Any hints, ideas,
suggestions? Any help is much
appreciated!

Some of the sites I found are: http://www.amtrak.com/ (doubt if this caters to your route) Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad http://www.dmerail.com Grand Canyon Railway http://www.thetrain.com Union Pacific http://www.up.com I appreciate none of these might suit your purpose, but funnily I was not able to find a search engine similar to that for flights... |

Is travel in Ecuador more I read some in a travel book
and the warnings were so scary
concerning assaults, weapons
and kidnapping. I am now a

and yet would like to go if it
is safer than what I read.
Anyone help?

I've been to Ecuador twice and traveled there extensively. If you travel smart and are aware of your surroundings, I don't believe it is dangerous. Of course, you have to be aware, especially of pick pocketers (and in Quito many young street children are the worst) so just make sure you keep your money and valuables close to you. I heard a few stories of people being held up, but all of those people were carrying too much (one for instance had 4 cell phone and 2 cameras). Someone mentioned blending in and not wearing anything too flashy, that is good advice. In the time I spent there (over 2 months) I did hear of one story that occurred on the Columbian-Ecuador border, where rebels boarded a bus and robbed the riders. This is not meant to scare you from traveling Ecuador, as all of my experiences were WONDERFUL! I just wanted to give you all of the info I had. Some things that would make your travels safer and easier: Be able to speak some Spanish Do not walk alone at night Travel by taxis at night (especially in the cities) Keep your valuables secure, but do not carry more than what is necessary Walk around with your head up and confidently Most of all, enjoy the beautiful place that is Ecuador, there are so many beautiful things to see and experience and Ecuadorians are such wonderful people. |
