Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / August 2006

There are 4 of us from the UK planning a shopping fest in New York at
the end of August (and over the Labor Day weekend) courtesy of some
stupidly cheap flights on BA (£149 return!). Somehow I've been landed
with organising it and I've got a few questions which I'm hoping

I just had a rotten experience with a Century 21 Broadhurst &
Associates and with Rachel Broadhurst.  When I told Rachel that I was
unhappy, she told me, "I'm sure that you have customers that are
unhappy with your sorry a.s product", when she knows nothing of

I live here but never stay at hotels, so I really have no idea on what

I recently had a bad experience renting from this company. Perhaps my

in Texas.

I'm going to be driving from Washington, DC to northern Louisiana with
an LA license plate that expired a couple of years ago.  Insurance and
driver's license are okay.   Any suggestions about what route I should
take or how I can avoid getting pulled over?  I'm a pretty safe driver ...

Have gone to Florida a few times now so I'm looking for different things a family can do outside of the parks.

We just bought a pop-up camper, and have used it twice.  The 2nd time, we
didn't have any problems, but the 1st time we had a lot of bugs at night (2

on-demand movies on their televisions?
That was a big disappointment, since I like to catch a good movie to pass
away some of the time, especially at a relatively "boring" hotel like the

What is a typical "hold" amount that hotels will put on your credit card
when checking in?
I noticed that it has slowly increased to what looks like a pretty big

Ill have 6 hours or so at Yosemite national park  the first week in October,
