Hotel Discount Coupons

Whether you are traveling for business or for pleasure, your choice of hotel is as important as your destination. If you are a traveler on a budget, then you must know how to take advantage of hotel discount coupons in order to cut down accommodation costs and use the money to enjoy the vacation instead.

Where to get hotel discount coupons

There are three major sources of hotel discount coupons.

Travel books. Some are free while others can be purchased. These travel guides can be found in almost all shops at airports, convenience stores, restaurants, supermarkets and attractions. Check out the pages and look for hotel discount coupons to major hotels.

Online. The web is filled with online travel booking sites that compete to offer quality low cost lodging. Book through anyone of these sites and save on rates. You can also visit the website of chain hotels to look for discount coupons. This is actually a better move than reserving through third-party websites. By going directly to the source, you eliminate possible booking problems.

Travel groups. Travel clubs often offer hotel discount coupons to their members. Ask your local chapter when and how you can get these discounts.

Some considerations when using hotel discount coupons

Remember that hotel discount coupons have restrictions. It is important to know any limitations before you book a room or check in. For example, you typically pay less than the standard rate on regular days, but most hotels do not acknowledge discount coupons during holidays or special seasons when they are near full occupancy. You see, hotels set their rates based on supply and demand - they charge higher during peak periods, but are also very willing to offer discounts during off-peaks when the fall of demand leave plenty of rooms unoccupied.

Also remember that some coupons are for walk-ins only. Make sure that your hotel discount coupon allows you to call ahead to make a reservation at discount rates. In some cases, the hotel management may agree to honor the advertised rate for advance bookings.

Discount Hotels provides detailed information on Discount Hotels, Discount Hotel Rooms, Discount Hotel Rates, Hotel Discount Coupons and more. Discount Hotels is affiliated with Discount Travel Agents.

Man from Nepal, 76, oldest person to reach the top of Mount Everest

He was reported in good health as he began making his descent. They flexed their muscles this year all the in name of the Olympic spirit, but it was hardly spirited at all.”

This season French mountaineer Anthony Loeff is reporting the scales for Mt Everest after reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro earlier this year.

With the Chinese preparing for the impending summer Olympic Games, Bahadur Sherchan noted that the government’s actions hardly reflected the Olympic spirit. “the Mount Everest this year became a political pawn,” he said with some frustration.

Andrew Brash returned this week from Nepal after successfully climbing to the summit of Chomolungma or Mount Everest. More than 3274 people have climbed to the summit since it was first conquered in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary, who died in January, and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay.

Hall was frostbitten and severely disoriented due to altitude sickness. Min Bahadur Sherchan returned a hero to Calgarians. However, he was all too aware of the potential dangers the mountain could bring. Certain parts of the climb are more dangerous than others and it is important for climbers to remain focused They basically coerced the Nepali government to not allow any climbers past camp two on the Nepali side. His first found him within 190 metres of the peak when his team stopped to help a fellow mountaineer who was left for dead. later, Min Bahadur Sherchan, a University of Calgary alumni, returned to Everest to finish what he had started.

The Chinese were flying their airplanes over the mountain and had Chinese officials in Kathmandu. Now that Bahadur Sherchan has successfully scaled the tallest mountain in the world, he is once again ready to focus on his family. As he planned for the climb, Sherchan told reporters he wanted to inspire fellow senior citizens. He also said many Nepalese have established records on Mount Everest, so it was only fitting that the record for the oldest climber to reach the summit should also belong to a Nepali. The 76-year-old man from Nepal is now the oldest person to have reached the top of Chomolungma. “The Chinese weren’t allowing anybody on the mountain. They ended up commandeering it for themselves, even though the mountain is shared by two countries. Andrew Brash and four climbing guides reached the 29,035-foot (8,850-meters) summit of the world’s highest mountain early Sunday, said Ramesh Chretri, an official with Nepal’s ministry of tourism. Andrew Brash last attempt resulted in the rescue of Lincoln Hall, an Australian climber who was left by his team in the “death zone.”

Sherchan just 7 days away from his 77th birthday beat the age record set last year by 71-year-old Japanese teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa.

Nevertheless, the decision to actualize a long-time personal goal left Bahadur Sherchan with some internal uncertainties, he cited the political actions of China and Nepal as providing the greatest adversity he faced on his journey.

Valentines Day Ideas For All

Valentines Day is a very special holiday, yet it is one that many people dread more than anything. Valentines Day is about love and caring for one another and those who are alone often feel left out. There are some things that single people can do on Valentines Day to feel more loved and cherished and some things that they can do together to feel more accepted as the single person that they are. These are great because no one should be alone at this time of year.

If you are lucky enough to have a special someone this Valentines Day then you will need to find a great way to spend the day together with your loved one. You should choose something that you will both enjoy immensely. This is one day that should not be about sacrifice, it should be about being together and enjoying each other’s company. If you spend the day doing something that you don’t like then you are not going to be having much fun right?

Here are some great ideas to make use of with your partner this Valentines Day. Things that will help you to make the day as special as it should be for you both.

Start Valentines Day out right

Write your lover a love note. This will get the day going to a perfect start. If you live together put it on his or her pillow so it is the first thing they see when they wake up. Or perhaps serve it with a nice breakfast in bed. If you do not see each other in the mornings then have it delivered, perhaps with flowers. It does not have to be a long love note, just a few lines in the form of a poem, or not, just to let them know how you feel.

If you are not good at writing then you can try making a short list of your favorite things about the other person. Under each favorite thing you could have a short explanation of why you love that about them so much. This is always a hit and it is as sweet as all get out.

Make the gift interesting

If you want to give a more traditional gift that is fine, just make the delivery is unique. One of the best ideas is to set up a wonderful scavenger hunt for the gifts. You can put little clues around the house to help lead your partner to the special Valentines Day gifts. Or, you could tie a piece of string to each gift. This is a cute and amusing idea. If you have a few different gifts all the string will be funny and sweet!

Make dinner instead of going out

You could make your partner a special dinner in as opposed to going out for Valentines Day. This is a thoughtful and special way to spend the dinner portion of the evening. You may also want to make the dinner together. This can be a lot of fun and I am sure that you and your partner will have a load of laughs making the food. You can both make your favorite foods this way.

If you are of the singular variety this Valentines Day you still need to find something fun to do, this can be on your own or with some of your other single friends.

Here are some great Valentines Day ideas for singles:

Get out of the house on Valentines Day

You can go to a movie or a play and perhaps treat yourself to a decadent dinner at a restaurant that you would not normally splurge on. Go all the way and even order your favorite dessert. That is always a nice way to spend the evening.

Stay in this Valentines Day

My favorite thing to do is get a bunch of single friends together and have a party. You can have a chocolate party, or a wine party or any other neat things along these lines. You will have all kinds of fun toasting each other and chowing down on cheese and candy. A fondue is always fun and you can have cheese ones or chocolate ones.

It is a great idea to have each of your friends bring a different kind of wine, cheese and chocolate. This way you will have all kinds of great things to eat all night long.

South Florida’s Best Floorshows

“Would you like to go out for dinner and a show….?” These are famous words that have been spoken time and time again in South Florida and elsewhere, often inevitably followed a few hours later with, “Would you like to come up and see my etchings?” “Dinner and a show” might well be as old as dating itself, starting when Homo Neanderthalis would invite his date to feast on mammoth while watching the elderly and infirm members of the tribe be devoured by saber-tooth tigers and giant sloths. Floor shows have changed quite a bit since those venerable days, with the fatality rate for spectators dropping well below the 50% mark. To better educate the populace about what is available for entertainment in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, I bring you my recommendations of what I believe to be the best floor shows in all of South Florida.

My favorite floorshow in South Florida is in a very nice Polynesian restaurant in Fort Lauderdale called Mai-Kai Polynesian Restaurant. In addition to fantastic food and cocktails, Mai-Kai offers an impressive array of traditional Polynesian dances to accompany your meal. The dances link together to be a narrative, making the show feel like a real story, and not just a disjointed medley. The most impressive dance for my money is without a doubt the Samoan Fire-Dance, which, as you might imagine, features man’s ancient and unknowable enemy: the all consuming flame. Mai Kai is well worth the trek up from Miami, and I recommend it to anyone.

The next listing comes as close to a traditional 1950’s era floor show as I can imagine. Located in the historic Fontainebleau Hotel (yes, you might recognize it from “Goldfinger”), Club Tropigala offers a show that seems as though Sinatra and the Rat pack got together with Desi Arnaz to create an amalgam of stereotypical dinner entertainment. Tropigala features two live orchestras in a Vegas-Style floor show (complete with showgirls) with a distinctly Latin twist. There’s nothing particularly original about this show, but that’s not to say it isn’t fun, or even excellent. It’s just exactly what you would expect a classy hotel show in South Florida to be, and if you’re in the mood for that, it’s one that you don’t want to miss. Guests staying at the hotel get into the show for free, so if you’re there anyway you have nothing to lose by checking it out.

The last place I am recommending is the only Irish pub on Broward Beach. You might think, “Irish Pub? Aren’t those establishments more known as havens for whiskey drinkers and Sinn Fein officials?” Perhaps in most cases they are, but at Sally O’brien’s, they are known for their shows as well. Home of a great band called “Fire in the Kitchen” (who feature vocalist Addie O’Connor), Sally Obrien’s is a great place to hear a band whose repertoire extends from traditional Irish melodies to slightly more modern fare. While Fire in the Kitchen is the standard entertainment, you can also occasionally catch skilled Irish step-dancers and even highland pipers winding their way through the bar, driving everyone insane. The food and drink prices are quite reasonable as well, so when you’re looking for something different for a reasonable price, you should keep Sally O’Brien’s in mind.

If I didn’t get to your favorite floor show, I’m really very sorry. There are countless excellent shows in South Florida, and I leave you to discover the rest of them. Happy travels, and happy eating/drinking/dancing/debauchery.

Hotels and Feng Shui - Stay where the luck is!

Many people travel during the holidays, as well as during
vacations. Likewise, business deals are often made as a result
of travel. When selecting a hotel, you can learn a lot–and
improve your luck–from the Feng Shui of the building.

For example, is the hotel’s main door at the center, left side,
or right side of the building? If the door is at the left side,
you’ll probably get good advice about things to do and places to
see in the area. If the door is in the center, it’s ideal for
business travel. However, if you’re on vacation, the best
location for a hotel’s door is on the far right side. In Black
Hat Feng Shui, the far right side supports travel and indicates
helpful people.

If the hotel has a concierge, he or she should be facing the
front door. If the concierge has his or her back to the front
door, or–worse–is positioned behind a column, don’t be
surprised if you received a chilly reception and limited help.
Then again, that may not be very important to you.

For the best experience, choose a hotel where the guest rooms
open onto a corridor rather than directly to the outside. In
Feng Shui terms, if you walk outdoors to your hotel room, the
hotel management may not have a sense of connection to its
registered guests.

In other words, once you’ve registered and arranged payment for
the room, you may feel as if you’re on your own.

Hotel guest rooms can also indicate good or bad Feng Shui. The
bed that you are going to sleep and should not be in direct line
with the door; they rarely are. Likewise, if the bathroom is at
the far left or far right corner of your room, ask for different
floor plan. Any other placement of the bed and bath is fine.

Check the view from your window. If you’re only sleeping there
overnight, any view is fine as long as it is not a slum.
However, if the view is important, if you’ll conduct meetings in
your room or suite, or if all you see is poverty, request a
different room with a better view.

Many business travelers are phobic about staying in a room above
the third floor. Therefore, those rooms are often empty and also
provide some of the best views. In addition, if you stay on the
top floor, you won’t have of the sound of footsteps overhead.
Finally, in Feng Shui terms, higher rooms are generally better;
there is less (literal) weight on top of you.

Consider the impression that you received upon entering the
hotel as well as your guest room. Look for these Feng Shui
signals: Lighting should be adequate, neither glaringly bright
nor too dim. If a strong aroma indicates a heavy reliance on air
fresheners, look for other signs of problems with housekeeping.
>From the moment you enter the hotel, you should feel
comfortable, relaxed, and welcomed.

Keep in mind that most hotel chains use the same floor plans
repeatedly. Therefore, you can visit hotels near your home
before you travel. Whether your local hotels are Hiltons,
Holiday Inns, Marriotts, or some other line, you can get a good
idea of their typical Feng Shui, and what to expect at related
hotels when you travel.

Once you have chosen a hotel chain that meets your standards and
offers consistently good Feng Shui, make that your first choice
when you travel. This will reduce stress by making travel
planning simpler, and improve your travel experiences.

Slowing It Down in Morocco’s Draa River Valley

The wind rustled through the palm fronds as my camel’s soft, splayed feet pressed upon the honey-colored sand, his rhythmic gait lulling me into a peaceful reverie. The shady palms of the Amezrou Palmeraie towered above, dangling bushels of golden dates over our heads, plump berries so sweet that when the guide offered me one, I ate it so quickly that it dissolved before I had a chance to savor it.

Our camel caravan was in the middle of a two-hour trek through the oasis near Zagora in Morocco’s Dra River Valley, a bewitching place of burnished sand and scorching desert, surrounded by a sea of green palms on both banks of the river.

I had come to Morocco to escape the frenzied activity of my life: to try to slow down and truly appreciate things, something I never did at home. In the Dra, I found a place where time stands still. Here, where distant kasbahs look like palaces out of the Arabian Nights, where boys ride by on donkeys, and women wash clothes in water channels as their children play nearby, I had the opportunity to learn a new–older–rhythm of life.

Until a century ago, the Dra River Valley was part of the lucrative trans-Saharan trade route. Thousands of camels made the hazardous two-month journey across the Sahara to the great market towns of the Niger River–Timbuktu and Gao–carrying salt, dates, barley and goatskins. On return, they brought the gold dust, slaves, ivory and ostrich feathers that made North Africa wealthy. With the arrival of coastal shipping in the late 19th century, this overland route went into decline. So did the Dra Valley until recently, when it was moderately revived by the new trade in tourism.

Beginning in the modern regional administrative center of Ouarzazate, the paved road snakes 193 kilometers through the valley along the Dra River, which, in April, was moderately full. After Zagora, the last real city before the Sahara, the road continues another 95 kilometers through a desolate, dramatic landscape to M’Hamid, where it ends, literally disappearing into the sands of the Sahara.

Strategically located at the junction of three rivers, Ouarzazate was once the base of power over the south’s vital trade routes. With many modern hotels, restaurants and the 100-year-old lavishly decorated Kasbah Taourirt, the town makes a good overnight stop and base for exploration. The stunning surrounding areas have also become choice locations for Hollywood filmmaking.

The most well-known location is At Benhaddou. Thirty-two kilometers northwest of Ouarzazate, this UNESCO-listed world heritage kasbah is so spellbinding that over 20 films have been filmed here, including “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Jesus of Nazareth,” “Jewel of the Nile” and the recent blockbuster, “The Gladiator.”

After crossing the shallow, reed-strewn river on stepping stones, we entered the ancient village through orchards of almond trees. Though the crenellated, red-ochre walls of the ancient buildings are the stuff of fantasies, many have been renovated for the movies, and it is hard to tell which are original and which are not. But somehow, it didn’t matter. At Benhaddou is both old and new, as we could tell from the mud walls of a local home where photos of the late Moroccan king hung beside a poster of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet from the movie “Titanic.”

In Agdz, an hour from Ouarzazate, the lush, green trees of the oasis suddenly appeared. Standing out against a backdrop of stark brown mountains, the cultivated oasis is speckled with pise. kasbahs and ksour rising like huge sandcastles from the desert.

After visiting the ancient rock carvings of Timiderte and learning about the prehistoric reptiles that once roamed the valley, we arrived in Zagora. Modern, dusty and disappointing at first glance, Zagora is the last town of any substantial size before the Sahara. But as we explored the area, we discovered it made an excellent base for camel treks or trips to the different villages in the Dra.

The nearby village of Amezrou is home to the old Jewish Kasbah, once the center of life for a community of talented jewelers. Though most of the Jewish population left for Israel in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, Berber craftsmen have taken over the tradition and their workshops are open to the public.

At the potters’ cooperative in the holy village of Tamegroute, beautiful pieces of pottery are created much as they were throughout history. Tamegroute also houses a theological college dating from the 11th century and a distinguished library that once held 40,000 volumes. The library contains a collection of illuminated Korans, the oldest of which are written on gazelle skins.

At the far end of Zagora’s main street stands a much-photographed, half-serious French sign: “52 Days to Timbuktu.” By camel, that is. A reminder of the old trade routes and caravans that made this region rich.

Though we couldn’t cross the Sahara by camel this time, we rose early one morning and drove 25 kilometers to the Tinfou Dunes. Here, I finally had the chance to stop and watch in awe as the bright orange orb of the sun rose over the dusky dunes, their colors slowly changing from gray to reddish-brown, and finally to tawny gold. Nearby, an inn run by a family of artists sports another version of the famous Timbuktu sign, this one claiming “51 Days to Timbuktu.” We were getting closer and so was I.

Back in the date groves of the Amezrou Palmeraie, an intoxicating wind blew by, bringing with it the scents of oleander, mint and orange, and I saw from the back of my camel that our trek, and my time in the Dra, was coming to an end. I reached up and pulled another date from a tree. This time, I had learned from the desert, and I ate it slowly, savoring every bite of sweetness and sunshine. Life should be enjoyed, I thought; savored like a succulent Moroccan date. For if you don’t take it slowly, it can slip away in the blink of a camel’s eye.

An Island A Day

Stand by the shores of Casco Bay on the coast of Maine and you may expect to find ocean as far as the eye can see. Instead seemingly endless islands dot the seascape. Sometimes called the calendar islands, there is rumored to be an island in the bay for every day of the year.

Stretching from Cape Elizabeth to Cape Small these islands with their rocky shores and rustic way of life define the stereotypical New England coastline. Mostly uninhabited, they provide a serene escape from everyday life. Their natural beauty and their sheer numbers create a place one could visit every day and still never have completely explored. With an island for every day of the year there is more than enough shelter from the wind to allow everything from large fishing vessels to solo kayaks to roam the bay. While sandy beaches are few and far between here, the rock strewn shores and miles of nature trails can supply a continual source of enjoyment.

If you know where to look the Casco Bay islands will also provide a glimpse of Maine maritime history. Being located on the eastern most part of the country, these islands served their time during World War II as bases and look outs for German U-Boats. Great towers and forts still remain on Jewel Island, and while mostly converted to homes now, the military buildings on Great Diamond Island are hard to miss. During the war anti-submarine nets and mines were deployed at many harbor entrances and the islands took on a front line role. Even before WWII Casco Bay held military purposes. In 1858 Fort Georges was constructed and armed for the Civil War, Spanish American War, and was used to store submarine mines during WWI.

Many opportunities await those looking to enjoy the islands for their less historical characteristics. Chebeague is the largest of the Casco Bay islands, and one of the few with a year round population. Ferry service takes visitors from Portland or nearby Cousin’s Island to the perfect setting for an adventuresome hike or leisurely bike ride. You can finish the day off with a delicious dinner or nights rest at the breath taking Chebeague Inn. Great Diamond Island also offers an exceptional dining experience at the Diamond’s Edge restaurant in Diamond’s Cove. Peaks and Long islands both present dining opportunities to their guests and their proximity to Portland makes them popular tourist attractions.

If you are looking for a little less populated destination then you have literally hundreds of choices. You can relax on the beaches of Sand Island, watch the seals bask on the rocks of French Island, or setup a picturesque camping site on one of the Gosling islands. Many of these smaller islands will require you to provide your own transportation, but kayak, canoe, sail, and motor boat rentals all provide easy access.

Whether you are looking for fine dining, a historical stroll, or a relaxing day on the beach Casco Bay offers something for every visitor and an island for every day of the year.
