    Alamo Car hire

    Anyone booking via a villa owner, the Brits Guide or anyone else like that should know that those will be receiving commission from your purchase and you will be paying for it. Cut out the middleman (well one of them!!!) and book with a car rental broker for the very best price.

    $2 to £1 at Going Places NOW

    Running out of dollars? Don't make me laugh. I would put money on them having a load more shortly and offering an even better rate!!!

    Cheats, liars and other shysters!

    Guild of Florida Owners? Where on earth did you find them? Having been involved in the STR business for many years and having taken a keen interest in it for even longer I think I can safely say that the above organisation has little or no impact on the Florida villa rental industry and is just...

    Virgin into Sanford?

    It is very unlikely to happen. Virgin would lose the majority of their customers and it would wreck Sanford Airport which we much prefer. We travel about 4 times a year and 9 times out of 10 we can be in our accomodation in Kissimmee in less time than it takes most passengers to clear MCO. Any...

    next big merger - 1st choice and TUI

    It can only mean one result. Fewer flights and higher prices. Generally bad news for the consumer and for some of the employees of these companies. 4 charter companies reduced to 2 in a few short weeks is not good news. These charter companies are basically the 'low cost' airlines on this route...

    Travel City Direct late offers

    Hardly surprising they have late availability with stupid prices like that. Add on the full vehicle insurance and it gets much worse. There are lots of better prices about without going on an antique Jumbo. Terry

    Robbin Hood Doncaster-Sheffield Airport?

    We used it twice last year and it was fine. We got a week in Florida from Doncaster with a room at Howard Johnson for a total of £206 each. Bargain.

    Tornado watch alert in action.

    One of the main reasons given for the drop in visitors has been the various problems with hurricanes over the past few years and its good to see that we are now publicising tornado warnings. Should put a few more visitors off and make it better for the rest of us.:banana: :banana:

    TCD have last minute fly drives from £99

    There is no way you can get a fly-drive from TCD or anyone else for that matter for £99. Misleading advertising made worse by folk passing it on. Terry

    If you dislike the attitiude of U.S. immigration officials...

    There is no picture of your iris. Its just a facial picture thats all so it doesn't really matter about the eyes. Terry

    If you dislike the attitiude of U.S. immigration officials...

    We have had the misfortune to meet a number of these jobsworths who have for no reason given us grief at immigration. Those who haven't yet had the pleasure should not assume that they don't exist. I know a number of people who no longer visit the States for this very reason and we almost joined...

    Has anyone flown with First Choice from Bristol?

    We have flown with First Choice quite a few times but never from Bristol. We have flown a couple of times since they upgraded the seating and its very good in economy or whatever they call it. We nearly always upgrade with other airlines but the new seating with First Choice is that good you...

    MyTravel

    Well there is an easy explanation for that as you will know. They were ordered to cancel a percentage of their flights. They didn't cancel them because they wanted to. Terry :)

    indian point whats the area like?

    Indian Point is ok. Older than some of the other sub divisions it is handy for everywhere. Not far from the 192 but this is Florida and there will not be too many people walking from there. The 192 is a very long road and once you walk to it you will not get to see 1% of it and the % you will...

    buying a villa

    The homes you are referring to are not normal homes. They are manufactured homes and more akin to a shed. Known locally as Tornado magnets because whenever one passes through its usually the manufactured homes that get destroyed. Additionally and I think this is the case at Vista Del Lago you...

    buying a villa

    Don't do it unless you can finance it without any rental income. Realtors will tell you differently but this is not the right time to contemplate a purchase. Terry

    Kissimee

    Kissimmee is a bit like Orlando. Everybody thinks they have been there but very few actually have. To see the real Kissimmee go to the downtown area and see the historical area. Used to be a little dodgy but its now a very nice place to visit. To get there you go down the 192 east then turn...

    BA & other airlines being investigated over alleged cartel activity

    Scheduled airlines have been fixing their ticket prices for as long as I can remember.........and thats a long time. Nothing new in this at all and why its taken these governments all these years to get around to looking at it stinks slightly. There is more to this than meets the eye. Terry...

    Anyone going with Flywho??

    Even though these people have failed to launch on two previous occasions there is always somebody daft enough to book. I was speaking to someone the other day who claimed to have booked and they have had their flights put back three weeks. They say they have had a 50% refund and that the actual...
