Question
Hi
Sandy,
Hope
things
are
going
great
with
your
business.
I
thought
of you
tonight
as I am
trying
to book
a trip
to NY
(where
my
family
and I
have
never
been).
I have a
show I
need to
attend,
and am
not much
of a
traveler.
So I am
having
my
family
come as
support.
Only
problem
is that
I have
found
that
hotels
are very
expensive
and my
husband
is not
much of
a big
city
kind of
person.
He will
have the
kids (7
and 4)
for the
2 days
while I
am at
the show
(Javits
Center).
I am
trying
to keep
him
happy
and busy
while I
am doing
the
show,
but have
also
heard
that NY
is a
very
busy
city and
you
really
have to
watch
your
kids.
Would
you have
any
suggestions
on where
to stay
that
would be
good for
kids? I
don’t
mind
taking a
bus or
train or
subway
into the
city, if
I know
the kids
and
hubby
will be
safe and
having
fun
while I
am
working.
We are
only
planning
to stay
for 5-6
nights.
And
depending
on where
we stay,
may
drive to
PA,
Boston
or DC
for a
day
trip.
Since
you are
the
expert,
I was
hoping
to get
some
tips
from
you, if
you
don’t
mind my
asking.
I was
planning
to book
everything
tonight,
but
think I
will
wait
until
tomorrow.
I want
to make
a good
choice
for my
family
first,
and then
me
second.
Does
that
make any
sense?
Looking
for a
good
price
and the
best
family
safe
place to
stay.
Whatever
suggestions
you
might
have
would be
appreciated.
Hope to
talk
again
soon.
Warm
Regards,
Joan
Colvin
Answer
Hi Joan,
Great to
hear from
you.
First off, I
think you
will find NY
a wonderful
city even
for your
family.
There is a
Mariott
Hotel that
is not too
far from the
Javitz
Center and
would make a
great
central
place for
all of you
to call home
for the
week.
I also have
a company
that I work
with called
Metro-Home.
This is an
interesting
way to
travel - you
can rent an
apt that is
fully
furnished,
washer
dryer,
kitchen
cable.
You will
find the
pricing
really
competitive
and you can
pick out the
district you
want to stay
at. You can
explain to
them where
your show is
and they can
hook you up
with
something
appropriate.
Their phone
number is:
800.987.1235 You
can ask them
about a
great area
for the
family. They
will help
you choose.
I like this
arrangement
because you
are now a
New Yorker
living in
New York! I
have used
them
personally
twice and
it is so
much fun. On
every
corner, you
will find
grocery
stores,
restaturants
etc. It's a
great
experience.
I found NY
to be fun,
safe and
police are
so friendly.
I know you
will have a
ball.
Let me know
if we are
going down
the right
path here. I
went to see
if I had any
free tickets
in NY but
unfortunately,
I gave them
all away!
Usually I
have so many
freebies
around, but
nothing in
NY right
now. If I
did, they
would be
yours.
Thanks Joan
and hope you
are enjoying
success with
your
wonderful
character
bear.
warm
regards,
Sandy
Question
Hi. I am in
south Florida.
Boca Raton. Can
I get your show?
I am traveling
to India in
November. Will
I need to get
any
vaccinations?
What should I do
to stay healthy?
Any suggestions
for jet lag
related issues
traveling to and
from?
Thank you,
Elizabeth
Answer
HI Elizabeth,
Thanks for your
note. I believe
the only way to
hear our program
in Boca Raton at
the moment is
online. You can
go to our Web
site at:
http://www.traveltalkradio.com/TTR_760kfmb.html
on Sunday
mornings and
click onto our
TalkStar Radio
network logo on
the top right
corner. Also you
can listen to
archives by
going to our
ARCHIVES section
on the Web site.
We are working
on getting
stations to pick
us up all over
the country
(world) if you
have a favorite
talk stations,
let us know and
we will knock on
their doors.
India in
November!
Wonderful. I am
sending you to
the Center for
Disease Control
and more
specifically to
the information
regarding
vaccinations and
how to stay
healthy on your
trip to India.
http://www.cdc.gov/travel/indianrg.htm
And finally Jet
lag problems. We
have been given
a product that
is totally
natural and made
in Sweden. I
will send you
samples so that
you can see if
you like
something like
this. Please
send me your
address and we
will get this in
the mail to you
asap.
If you could let
us know how you
feel about it
that would be
great too.
Personally, I
sleep as much as
I can on the
plane. I eat
very little and
I drink as much
water as
possible. I try
to get my mind
in a meditative
state so that I
can relax as
much as
possible. From
the clothing
that I wear to
small soft
pillow that
makes me feel
close to my own
bed are what
make me travel
the best. I also
get lots of
exercise. I am
an exercise nut
and feel like it
attributes to my
entire health
and well being.
Stay in touch
and looking
forward to
hearing from you
again.
Sandy
Question
Sandy, help me!!
Where did you
go? Your not on
KFMB anymore???
Where can I
listen to your
show?? I miss
you!! You show
in San Diego was
really a good
one and because
of you I
traveled more!
Please let me
know how I can
tune in!! (June
05)
Rich San Diego,
CA
Answer
HI Rich,
It was great to hear
from you! Yes, we
left KFMB because we
wanted to syndicate
our program and grow
beyond what they
could offer us. We
are now being
distributed by
talkstar radio
network out of
Florida. They have a
very interesting
concept and even
though it is a very
new channel for us,
we are very happy
with the service and
attention they are
giving our program.
We are on in 7
other radio stations
around the country
but not yet in San
Diego. I am sure we
will get there soon.
But the good news is
that you can hear us
online every Sunday
from 9 - 11am
pacific time on the
Web at
www.TravelTalkRADIO.com
and click into
This Week's Program.
I hope you check out
the online
streaming, I think
you will be very
impressed. It sounds
like regular radio!
Question
Sandy
I wanted to surprise my
girlfriend with a
spa day (for couples) in
Baja california or southern
california. Someplace
we could go overnight
with some great food.
Ever heard of such a
place?
Craig
Casey
Answer
HI Craig,
If you want a great spa
day for you and girl
friend there are many to
choose from here in
Southern Ca and Baja.
How much did you want to
spend and what kind of
spa do you like? The La
Costa
http://www.lacosta.com/
in Carlsbad is
incredible, Deepak
Chopra has a center
there and is fantastic
if you like to do some
mind body soul wellness!
Also the Four Season in
Aviara have a great spa
too.
http://www.fourseasons.com/aviara/
There are spa’s in Baja
and Southern CA that
have the same owners,
The Golden Door
http://www.goldendoor.com/
is famous both in
Escondido and across the
border near Tecote.
http://www.rancholapuerta.com/
Where will you be coming
from and would you rent
a car?
Sorry for all the
questions, but there are
so many aspects to
choosing a great
destination.
Take a look at the few I
sent you and see what
you think.
All the best.
Sandy
Question
I am a high school math
teacher looking for an
opportunity to travel
during the summer in the
United States and
perform community
service at the same
time. Can you
recommend travel
programs where teachers
get compensated for
travel/community
service? I will like to
take along my 16 year
old son as well. If you
cannot give me a
referral, could you
suggest someone who
could? Thank you for
your time.
Debbie D.
Answer
Hi Debbie,
What a terrific way to spend
your summer with your son. There
are many programs out there for
foreign based travel but
unfortunately, doing this in the
US is harder to find.
I found a few that you might
want to explore.
The Education Program of the
United States Institute of Peace
http://www.usip.org/ed/
Jobs in Education:
http://www.jobsineducation.co.uk/search.cgi?k=instructors
summer needed ccusa
camp&n=220&cat=10,14,17,19,20,21,39&t=permanent&a=7
USA
Freedom Corps
http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov/
I have
tons of service
opportunities abroad that I
have found, but really not
much for the service in the
USA. Interesting!
We have many links on our
Web site at
www.traveltalkradio.com.
and click onto the Travel
Tips section.
Getting paid is another
challenge as there are many
volunteer organizations that
use tourists for services.
Best of luck! Let me know
what you come up with!
Sandy
Question
Hello Sandy,
I'm interested in knowing if you
recommend the Sanoviv after your
stay. I'm thinking about going
for lap-band surgery and health
retreat. Do you recommend the
health retreat? Does it look
like a clean- well run facility?
Thank you.
Cindy
Answer
Hi Cindy,
I have been to Sanoviv 3 times
and have always been very
impressed. I have met many of
the doctors and I would highly
recommend using the facilities.
They are extremely clean as they
do not have any toxins anywhere
in the area and their water
system is purified there on the
property. NASA did research in
the area and came up with the
fact that there is a sort of
vortex right there on the coast
and they say it has some of the
best air quality too.
You will be impressed. Please
let me know if you decide to go.
Warm regards,
Sandy
Question
Hello Sandy,
Is there any web site available
which can give me info about all
the airlines land at one
particular airport. e.g. airport
DEL (Delhi, India), how can i
find which airlines land and
take offs from here.
Thank you
Rajnish
Answer
HI Rajnish!
Thanks for your note. I was amazed
on the number of airlines flying in
and out of Delhi. Hope this helps.
Best regards!

Question
Hello Sandy, I often listen to your
radio slot with Talk Sport (UK) on my
way to work. It is through this
knowledge that I feel you may be able to
assist me with a problem. I have been
contacted by a company. Soho Vacations
587 East S.R. 434 Suite 300
Longwood Florida 32750
They state a licence number as ST35770. On offer is a bargin holiday including
Orlando, Daytona and a Bahamas cruise.
I am trying to find out more about this
company and any validations that may be
available.I would be very grateful if
you could confirm anything about this
company to me.Thank you for your
assistance in anticipation.
Regards - Phil
Question
Hello Sandy,
My husband and I will be in Boston for 2
days next month, as part of our
New England vacation. We were wondering
what you would recommend, as far
as what to see? We are interested in
some kind of water tour, and also a
city tour. We would really appreciate
your input!
We are really excited about this
vacation, have been wanting to go and
see
the Fall folliage for some time. We'll
be flying into Manchester, New
Hampshire, and will also be spending a
week in Maine. We can't wait!
We love your show,
Yvonne and Ben
Answer
Hi
Yvonne,
Great to hear from you and thank you so
much for listening.
We were just in Boston when I spoke to
the board of directors of the
International Conventions and Visitors
Bureaun in July. We took the extra time
we had and explored the city. We had a
ball. I was amazed at the uniqueness of
Boston. I really didn't expect it would
have so many contrasting sites within
the city. The old buildings and churches
nestled up to the sky scrapers was
really eye catching. We stayed at the
Sheraton, the largest hotel in Boston. I
believe we were on the 24th floor. The
view was awesome and we were able to get
around very well.
From the hotel we walked to where the
Duck Tours
http://www.bostonducktours.com/ pick
up the tourists. The tour is a
combination city and bay tour. The
vehicles are amphibious and authentic
WWII war vehicles. We had a ball and I
must say the best part was the tour
guide. If you decide to go, please make
sure you ask for Major Bombshell to be
your tour guide. She is incredibly
entertaining. We absolutely loved her.
If you do get the opportunity to take
her tour, give her our best.
Also,
http://www.traveltalkradio.com/archives_july18_04.html
is the address of the Boston show we
produced. Since the show is older than
30 days, we take the archives off the
Web site, but if you like, please email
me your address and I will send a CD of
the Boston show. We did our live
broadcast from CHEERS bar and enjoyed
Faneuil Hall Market and all it's
history.
You are going to love New Hampshire
especially during Fall foliage. Have a
safe and wonderful trip.
Let me know if we can be of any more
help and please send your address and I
will get the Boston show to you. Just
slip it into your Cd player in the car
and make believe it's Sunday morning!
:).

Question
Marrion Moir from Ontario asks:
Where would I go to find out what kinds
of immunization I need to visit a
foreign country? I am 65 years old and
want to be sure I am protected.
Answer
Hi
Marrion,
Great
question! You did not mention your
destination however, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention is a
great resource for finding answers to
travelers vaccination concerns in every
part of the world. If you go to
http://www.cdc.gov/travel/destinat.htm
you will find an easy to use interface.
Simply click onto the part of the world
you wish to travel and the vaccination
information along with other health
issues will be available to you.
One
thing to remember, travelers who do not
have the required vaccinations upon
entering a country may be subject to
vaccination, medical follow-up, and/or
isolation and in a few countries,
unvaccinated travelers are denied entry.
Also as
a precaution, before going abroad, learn
what medical services your health
insurance will cover overseas, as well
as any policy exclusions. For example, I
know you are in Canada, but in the
United States, the Social Security
Medicare program does not provide
coverage for hospital or medical costs
outside the United States.
Have a
great trip Marrion!

Question
I am
traveling to Ecuador in November. I need
to know what I need to buy and take with
me to be able to use the electrical
system while I am there for a laptop
computer, charging a digital camera, and
other purposes. I haven’t been able to
find out if I will need an adaptor, a
converter or a surge protector. Can you
tell me?
W.Stumbaugh
Answer
Hi W. Stumbaugh
The electricity in Ecuador is the same
as in the United States and Canada 110 V
60 Hz. Many hotels are equipped with
both 110 and 220-volt options. Many
older Hotels and Haciendas do not allow
for polarized plugs, appliances with
uneven, straight pins, or 3 prongs may
require an adapter. These adapters are
available at hardware stores throughout
the country.
Hope
this helps!
Have a
wonderful trip.

Question
Going on a S.A. cruise in Dec. What is
the weather like and how is travel
around the Horn?
E
Answer
Hi E.
Thanks for your note.
The southernmost point of the Americas
is a gray rugged rock, enduring in a
notoriously weather-beaten spot. With
luck, your ship can cruise close by this
rocky promontory, which has marked the
passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ocean for centuries.
Also the weather should be the most
awesome in Dec and Jan. You picked a
great month to travel around the Horn.
It could get into the 80's or as low as
the 60's but will probably be about 78
degrees Fahrenheit during your trip.

Question
Sandy,
what about the air on airplanes? 3 out
of 5 times I travel, I get sick. Is it
the air that is being recycled? Is it
pure? What can I do?
Pat
Answer:
HI Pat,
That is a great question. There is
plenty of controversy about this
problem. Some feel there exists no
problem with recycled air on airplanes.
Suggesting that sickness occurs from
being exposed to other sick passengers
and long exposures to illness during
long flights. Others feel very
different, believing that the recycled
air is hazardous and can be regulated by
the flight crew. One suggestion is to
ask attendants on your plane to
ask the
pilot for "full utilization of air.'" If
you get a blank look and they don't
understand the term "full utilization,"
you might put it in easy straight
forward english, asking for less
recycled air and more fresh air, in
other words, the same air quality
breathed in the cockpit. (Pilots are
reported as getting 10% more oxygen
during a flight then passengers.)
Also if
you are more susceptible to illness, you
might consider not using the blankets
and pillows on the plane, bring your own
or bring covers for the pillows.

Question:
We are thinking of taking the children
to California. Where is the best place
for family-oriented activities?
Jane in Wisconsin
Answer:
I love
this question. I was born and raised in
Southern CA but lived in San Francisco
Bay area for 20 years, the last 7 years
I am now in San Diego area. I have seen
and lived in much of California and have
to admit I am very partial to the San
Diego region as being one of the best
places in the world for children.
San
Diego gets high scores for beaches and
the San Diego Zoo, whichis world reknown.
SeaWorld is a must as the Wild Animal
Park is grand if you are interested in
seeing a celebration of African animals.
Balboa Park in the middle of San Diego
city is fabulous place to enjoy the
diversity of people from all over the
world who know live in this area.
Legoland is in Carlsbad, which by the
way is a great place to visit with it's
small shops and quaint village. This
spring the USS Midway will open it's
doors as a wonderful museum that will
steadily grow with memoriabilia of all
the service men and women who served on
the aircraft carrier. One last point,
Los Angeles, is up the street a mere 2
hours by car, Amtrak goes right to Union
Station in the center of LA. There are
stops to wonderful beaches on the way
including Disneyland in Anaheim.
By the
way. stop by
www.sandiego.org, you will find an
abundance on information on the region.
Have a wonderful trip!
best regards,
Sandy

Question:
Will be
going to Maui mid Oct, should I book now
or do you think fares will be better in
a couple of months? Thanks.
Linda in Encinitas
Answer:
HI Linda,
Thanks for the email.
It is difficult to find good discount
airfares to Hawaii.
Early reservations is the best way to
save money. Have you gone yet to
Hawaiian Airlines?
http://www.hawaiianairlines.com
I was
impressed with their pricing. For an
example if you wanted to leave with 10
days from now, your best price I could
find was $1038. If you reserve now for
Oct you could pay less than half. And
then on the Hawaiianairlines.com Web
site I saw flights for $139 each way!
(Don't know who you get those, but it is
worth looking around on the Web site).
Hope this helps Linda,
Have a wonderful trip and please let
know if you need any more help.

Question:
Please
advise me of what to use for motion
sickness that I may experience on a
cruise I am about to take.
Thank you,
Michael
Answer:
HI Michael,
Wonderful to hear you are taking a
cruise. You will have a ball.
I too need motion sickness protection so
you have asked the right person!
I would totally recommend SCOPACE. The
astronauts use SCOPACE and in fact in a
study
conducted for NASA comparing oral and
topical scopolamine, the patch was found
to
be one-half as effective as oral tablets
in preventing motion sickness.
This is
a prescription that your doctor can get
for you. Let me tell you how I was able
get SCOPACE.
What I did was print out the information
from the SCOPACE web page (www.scopace.com)
and I took it to my doctor.
He was
happy to give me my prescription. What
you will find out is that your pharmacy
will most likely have to order SCOPACE
and you will be able to pick it up in a
few days.It really works well, I do not
feel tired nor does it make you fell
“fuzzy”
Let me
know if you use it and what you think.
Otherwise you can always get the wrist
bands on the ship, although I would not
recommend them like I do SCOPACE.
Take care Michael and have a wonderful
cruise.
Sandy
