I am looking for nice deals or discounts for Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System?

March 15, 2010 - 5:10 am 2 Comments

Two of my friends have purchased recently about 3 months ago. One of them brought it for 250 from amazon and other for 150 from babies r us. But now those deals are not there and they are selling around 300$ or something. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks for taking time and answering my question

I can tell you that no matter w hat you pay, it is worth every penny! I used this with my youngest child, and am now expecting another and will be using it again. It is AWESOME and I highly recommend it. Ours has been heavily used and is still in excellent condition.

Depending on when you are due, I would simply watch the prices at the various retailers (site and online). Look for coupons- I regularly get them for 20% off any one item for Babies R Us. You might also check the Baby Depot at Burlington Coat Factory, as they usually have great prices.

Canadian resident needs a bank account based in the US to conduct business on amazon.com is it possible?

March 13, 2010 - 6:33 am 1 Comment

Amazon.com requires me as a Canadian resident to have a US based account so that I can accept payments. Is it possible to open such an account without having to travel to the US? If so what bank may be suggested??

Bit of a tricky one:

As you probably know the US banking system is quite parochial.

You’re best option would probably be to find a Canadian bank with branches in the US: but I’m afraid I can’t suggest any myself.

Failing that HSBC would certainly be able to set you up but I’m sure such an account would have quite heavy fees.

Inca Trail, Amazon Jungle, Easter Island and the Galapagis islands in one trip?

March 11, 2010 - 4:07 am 3 Comments

Hi Guys

Just looking for some tips on how to visit all the above in one trip, approx a month.

I’ve found deals with all of them as individuals but i’d rather just fly to one destination, move around and then fly back

Anyone have any tips or websites on how to accomplish this ?

Cheers

I agree, one month is definitely not enough. You’re talking about going to 3 different countries in 1 month. You might think you just want to hit up those spots, do the touristy "bare minimum" and get on to the next tourist spot, but I can assure you that you will end up wanting to spend way more time exploring each spot.

I recommend you expand your trip — at least two months. If that’s not possible, and you only have one month, then decide which spots are the most important to see. I’ve been to Macchu Picchu –it’s absolutely incredible, but if you want to cut out a few days on your trip, you could take the train there instead of hiking the Inca trail. The Galapagos are also amazing, you will need at least 5 days for that, to explore the islands, go snorkeling, and see all the incredible animals.
I haven’t been to the Amazon or to Easter Island, I’m sure they would be amazing, and not enough to fit into a month-long trip.

peacock bass with white spots on fins and body, need help?

February 25, 2010 - 11:32 am 3 Comments

my juvenile peacock bass started to have these white spot on it boby, tail, and fins, other than that it seems pretty normal. i wonder if those white spots could be fungus? if so what can i buy to treats it.

It sounds like ich.

I usually treat ich with a salt solution, as I don’t like chemicals that have synthetic dyes. I would also suggest regularly vacuuming your tank gravel when ich is not present on your fish….due to the parasite’s life-cycle.

Research the ich parasite and its life-cycle and go from there. Like I said, I prefer salt, but there are many chemicals on the market that may also be effective.

where can i buy peacock bass in texas for stocking my farm pond?

February 10, 2010 - 2:18 am 4 Comments

any dealers for fish

Go to tfdfish.com. They’re out of ohio. They sell Peacock bass for a pretty reasonable price. You’ll have to have them shipped in. I’ve bought fish from this website before, and they’re pretty good. I don’t know of any local places you could get them from.
Below is a link to one of tfdfish’s postings on aquabid.com

Why are phones so cheap on amazon.com?

February 5, 2010 - 2:26 pm 3 Comments

i really want the blackberry tour and i found one on amazon.com.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GJTS3I/ref=asc_df_B002GJTS3I1015672?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=googlecom09c9-20&linkCode=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B002GJTS3I

however, if i get the phone at a verizon wireless store, it costs around $200 but why does this one only cost $50?
is it because it is used? and could i still use it even though my phone hasnt expired yet?

Actually, if you bought it from the Verizon website, it would be $100 (with a 2 year contract).

Cell phones are almost always much less expensive at authorized retailers than at the carrier’s store and they’re always less expensive online. The authorized retailers are willing to accept little or nothing on the sale of the handset to entice people to buy from them. They make their money on a percentage of the plan.

Ecuador/Galapagos information please?

We are thinking of going to Peru, Amazon & Galapagos in April 2010.
Our tour agent is Andean Trails in Scotland - has anyone travelled with these before if so did you have any problems?
They have suggested we stay in Guayaquil over night before the cruise to Galapagos, now i know that is really rough, but has anyone else stayed here - what was it like? It is basically to reduce the flying we have to do.
We have also been quoted for a 5 day trip on the Angelique ship - has anyone else been on this - was it noisy etc?

about Guayaquil, if you’re afraid of the city- it’s not bad. it’s a very big city but one of the most safest cities in Latin America (off course not counting bad neighborhoods). not so much to do thought…
there’s a very nice promenade and a beautiful view at night.
have fun, the Galapagos islands are amazing.
