how to find an amazon tour?

May 2, 2010 - 7:13 am 2 Comments

I am traveling to brazil this june and am hoping to find an amazon jungle tour. what i have found so far online is geared to western travelers and i think is over priced (1000+ usd) Im wondering if anyone has done this themselves and can offer some advice?

The best option is you to go to Manaus (capital of Amazon) and there to hire a company of local tourism.. It is cheaper and you will be able to at the own hotel to have reference on the best companies, a very good option is to go for Manaus and later to stay at a jungle hotel.

Where can I buy a hard rock cafe shirt?

April 26, 2010 - 12:19 pm 4 Comments

My boyfriend and I went on a trip to Spain last year with our college marching band and we got hard rock cafe shirts in Madrid. Sadly, he lost his on a tour bus. I want to surprise him for his birthday by getting him that shirt he lost.

I’ve searched eBay and Amazon and a few other online site to try and find this shirt. He didn’t get the typical white shirt which makes the search very difficult. Help?

Amazon rain forest, 2 weeks. £1810. Worth it?

April 2, 2010 - 5:33 am 1 Comment

I’m considering going into the rain-forest for 2 weeks, obviously i understand this isn’t going to be cheap but do you think this is good money if it covers, flights, accommodation, food (accommodation i suppose), tour guide professionals, supplied equipment, safe drinking water which you may see as part of accommodation and food, and mosquito nets and other health precautions such as bug repellents, first aid kits ETC. Do you think this is good? i will be doing things such as white water rafting, animal studies in order to generally conserve and volunteer in the amazon. Or could i get it cheaper? Thanks :)
If you can afford it without breaking into your piggy bank, do it.

Make sure that your tour company is reliable by doing a background check on them. Contact the Brasilian (that’s the way they spell it in Portuguese) embassy in London and asking to talk to the cultural or tourist office attache.

If that’s on your "bucket list" (see link) you’ll hate yourself if you don’t go now and you get too old to do it later.

Why are phones so cheap on amazon.com?

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

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.

Please suggest hotels or website for my trip?

How do I set up guitar hero world tour for the 360?

December 15, 2009 - 3:50 pm 1 Comment

I got it off of Amazon and I think I’m missing a part for the drums. I also can’t get the guitar to work. It has battery in it and all. The only thing I can get to work is the mic.

what you do is. If you cant get your controler to work theres a little white button on your 360 hold it and then while holding it hit the guide button on your gutiar hero contorler durms set mike or whatever. then it should work. Then go to carer and make a guitar rocker and a gutiar twhitch will both give you achivements. If you make a custom charactor and custom guitar that is. And then your ready to go.

I am travelling to Brazil, can I stay at your place Please?

Motorcycle touring in France? Roscoff (NW France)-Bordeaux-St Tropez?

September 25, 2009 - 5:15 pm 1 Comment

Amazing- there are no books about motorcycle touring in France on Amazon. In fact, there are only a couple for the whole of europe. America by contrast has loads. I am planning a trip from London- Cornwall- Plymouth- Roscoff- Bordeaux- St Tropez. I have 4 days to burn it from Roscoff (NW Tip of France) to St Tropez. I only want to take A or B roads. I want to know which are the best ones. Touring websites promise everything but deliver nothing as far as I can see. Anyone know the best route (or part of the best route) to take? Or even a good book/ website? Many Thanks.

I took 21 days for a road trip in France. I had terrible luck finding routes ahead of time, however I just took a map and went with it! The best time!!!

Finding the small villages off the most traveled roads was by far the best traveling I have done.

Have fun. I really liked the Loire Valley region- it was VERY nice.

How Can I Make My Hair Look Like This?

How can I make my hair look like this?

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000TWMMA.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

If you’re wondering, the link above is Christina Aguilera’s hair from when she was on the UK tour for her album "Stripped". I love how it had nice waves and it was a little bit curly. I know I have to scrunch my hair, but does somebody know what products I need to use? It’d be greatly appreciated! I wanna use this look for the first day of school.
By the way, my hair is wavy and very thick.

Look for a diffuser, those work the best. And plus I read in a hair magazine Christina Aguilera uses a diffuser to make her hair curl like that.

In which book did H P Lovecraft write about his visit to Florida?

September 15, 2009 - 11:12 am 1 Comment

Greetings,

I work as a historic tour guide in Saint Augustine, Florida. Sometimes, I do research to develop new tours or stories for tours we already offer. About a year ago, I noticed in a bio that Lovecraft had visited Saint Augustine at some point. Since H. P. is known to have written a few travelogues, I was very interested in what sites he might have visited while here.

I purchased Miscellaneous Writings from Arkham House Publishing through Amazon. There are a few travelogues in here, but none of them mention his trip to Florida. I contacted Arkham about the remaining travelogues. The responce e-mail simply stated that they (Arkham) didn’t know where I could find the other travelogues.

Has anyone seen this information? If I could pin-point the title of the correct travelogue, I would at least have a chance of hunting down a copy to buy or borrow.

As far as I know Lovecraft never wrote a travelogue containing reference to Florida. However, his story ‘The Thing on the Doorstep’ is set in Florida. His long-lost manuscript of ‘Shadow out of Time’ was rewritten and transcribed by his friend Robert Barlow in Florida but contains no mention of the state.
