I am currently in Munich, Germany and want to travel around western Europe but everything seems so expensive. What are the cheapest modes of traveling?|||EURAIL PASS!|||Hi,
it depends on how much of Western Europe you'd like to see! EURail will probably work out as the best value way to travel, the low cost airlines won't get you out of the major cities - and I assume you'll then want to see spots inbetween without flying again!
The passes start from $49US for a single country, and finish at $475US for the total go anywhere you want pass. Visit http://www.eurail.com/ for a complete breakdown of what is available..
Being from England myself, I can tell you that things get pretty expensive there - I live on the south coast and a return train ticket to London costs the equivalent of $70US - so the rail passes are good value.
If you are going to the UK then I have read some good money saving articles on the travel blog site - http://roundmyworld.com
Hope this helps, have a great trip!|||Hitching:-)
Otherwise Ryanair (http://www.ryanair.com ) is almost just as expensive as the train nowadays. Actually, the train is not that cheap at all. Convenient though. There is also the bus (http://www.eurolines.com ).
Low cost airlines you can find on http://www.etn.nl/lcostair.htm|||Obviously by foot.

Is there a travel ban for the person who is not paying credit card In Bahrain?
I am an expatriate in Bahrain, and I am in little doldrums with credit card dues, since I was planning to visit my home country, after 2 and half years stay in Bahrain. Is there a travel ban for the person who is not paying credit card? Since, go visiting home country invites expenses , I will clear all the due after coming back in Bahrain . I will appreciate your advice.|||it is possible, banks can and do get travel ban(s) for non paying customers, but usually they do that if the customer stop paying for some time and after calling the customer several times "if collection dept called you probably have a travel ban"
if you leave and come back without paying first you may get a ban on your next entry to the country.
+
The late payment charges + interest wil be several times what you have to pay now.|||:) im Bahrain and live in bahrain and not only that i work in a bank and im sorry to tell you that no you can not travel when you stelll did not pay your debt, i know that it's summer time and you see most of the people travel and stuff but you have to also look at the situation that you are in and its for your own good that you do not go any were this year have a plan and target, save money don't get stuff you don't need and then after steeling down you can have the vacation yu always wanted|||As for the advice
How can you even think of going to summer vacation when you are in debt and have credit card dues! Just to let you know you will be haunted by the company till you pay every last penny, and you will pay more than you owe. So get yourself out of stupid credit card debt, get serious, get real, take responsibility, and pay back your dues.
As for the question
No, there is no travel ban

What is the best month to Travel to Bahamas and Orlando?
Hi, I am planning to travel to Bahamas Cruise for a week this year. What are the best timings to travel to Bahamas and Orlando Area in Florida?|||It kind of depends on what you are looking for. I assume you are traveling from Port Canaveral for the cruise. Rates will be lower during value season, which is during hurricane season. I've never had a problem during hurricane season, so it is not something you absolutely have to avoid.
If you are planning to go to some theme parks while in Orlando, than you will want to go when school is in session. The crowds will be lowest. So the best time is in Fall, Winter or Spring. The weather is also nicer during this time, these are the most enjoyable times to go.
Hope this helps!|||Winter is the best time.
|||Anytime but hurricane season which starts in July and goes thru to December. It rains all the time.|||The best time to go is during the winter months. It is much cheaper for you and who ever else is going.|||As a general rule I like to go the last week of April through the middle of May for several reasons. It's not Hurricane Season. It isn't too hot but still warm enough for everthing in the water. Spring break is over for everyone and Summer vacation hasn't started yet, so you aren't going to deal with either of those crowds. Fishing is good that time of year, my personal favorite hobby. That's my opinion (leaving on cruise in 36 days).

What is the cheapest ailrline to travel on from Texas to North Carolina?
I have never flown to North Carolina and I am just curious of what the least expensive airline would be to travel there. I am intending on traveling there from Texas next month.|||Depends what are of Texas you're in. Out of Houston, Continental or Southwest. Dallas, America West. San Antonio is usually Southwest, but is sort of a cr*p shoot.|||Thanks! Hope you enjoy your trip.

How do travel agents check hotel availabilities?
I know that travel agents have various IATA systems (SABRE used to be one of them) for checking airline flight availability.
But how about hotels?
I mean if I tell my travel agent I want to stay in a one bedroom room in
City X between dates Y and Z, how does the travel agent find out what is available?
Is there something similar to the airline reservation system, only for hotels?
What is it called?|||It depends on the agent. Some will fax, call or email the hotel they have contracts with to check availability. Other companies - the larger ones - will have a pre-bought or pre-assigned quota of rooms from the hotels they have contracts with and will usually have an internal computer system similar to Sabre to check the availability of their quota. When I was an agent, we used to make the bookings by fax and email as we specialised in independent travel rather than package holidays. Phone calls don't really cut it as you need to receive confirmation in writing. Now, some hotels have online booking systems that allow registered agents to access a special agents' area and book that way - technology is a wonderful thing.|||Hotels are available through the major airline reservation systems. In the US, they are Sabre, Apollo, and Worldspan. Amadeus is also used but is much less common. In the pre-Internet days, that's how we did most hotel reservations.
Some reservations are made by phone and fax because the airline systems don't always have last-room availability. Some agents also use the Internet.
Some third-party websites, such as Expedia and Hotels.com, have special pricing arrangements with selected hotels. The fares and inventory for these are kept in an internal database or through a direct link to the hotel company's computer system. However, the non-special rate hotels are booked through the airline systems.
The major airline systems also have car rental and train information.|||Its called a computer. Yes its like an airline reservation system|||there lots of websites for checking this out
including the hotel group's own website|||**picks up phone**
Hello do you have availabilty?
Yes? oh good thank you

What is the best way to travel out of solar system?
Well, we have found numerous planets around numerous stars beyond our own and now Voyager I has less that a decade before it passes into interstellar space.
Now, new ways must be developed to travel as quickly as possible so we might get to other stars to investigate these planets.
I have seen a few things on National Geographic but I was wondering if anyone who just scuffles about the internet has any personal (logical) ideas for space travel, manned and unmanned.|||The best way to travel out of our solar system is to create mobile space colonies. Regardless of the propulsion system or the speed, it takes incredibly long amounts of time to travel to anything in space.
The trick is to form a crew who is motivated, dedicated, and large enough for a multi-generational journey. This means the people who arrive will be ancestors of the people who set off.
Some of the major obstacles include fuel, food, water, morale, resources, and redundancy.
Fuel:
This isn't that impossible. With space having very little resistance, friction isn't that much of a problem. Therefore with careful navigation (avoiding strong gravitational fields), you really won't need that much fuel. However, every bit of power you use to accelerate, you will again need to use to slow down. The trick is that you will have to bring all your fuel with you. Even before you leave our solar system, the sun's energy will have already become nearly useless. Nuclear energy will probably be the only option (dark matter might be another solution).
Food:
Not impossible. The crew will most likely use some sort of food recycling. This will include crop rotation, waste to fertilizer systems, and possibly even some livestock. The crew should most definitely carry reserves as well.
Water:
Some homes today have closed loop water systems. This should be cake.
Morale:
Sure you thought it was neat to travel through space before the mission, but 40 years into the trip, it may lose some of it's sparkle. What about your kids, grandchildren, and great grandchildren? They never chose to be a part of this mission, how do you keep everyone happy and most importantly everyone working? The crew will be required to have all the social programs we have on earth including entertainment, adjusting legal systems, law enforcement, education, and so on.
Resources:
This is where I see a major problem! Have you ever seen a 200 year old car? What about a 100, or even 20 year old car? All things need to be repaired, and all machines have parts that will break down over time and need to be replaced. Some smart engineering will help reduce moving parts, but you can only engineer so far.
Furthermore, the crew will need supplies such as basic necessities like toilet paper to tooth paste for basic hygiene maintenance. Not to mention entire wardrobes for multiple generations! The crew will also need grease, paint, and all sorts of supplies for repair and daily life. Think how much paper you use in class, now imagine you need to figure out exactly how much paper you will need for your entire school career. There are just so many unknowns, it will be almost impossible to plan for everything.
A big help would be to use self repairing biological resources. Imagine a ship that could heal itself very much like our own body! If the ship could metabolize energy into usable parts, this could greatly reduce the amount of materials needed for such a journey.
Redundancy:
Redundancy is a factor of safety to prevent a catastrophic event. Think of it as the safety net under a circus act. In redundancy, you can have many levels. In the example above, you have 2 levels of redundancy because you need two SEPERATE systems to fail in order for the unwanted event (injury of the performer) from happening. If the guy was working without a net, he would only have a single level of redundancy (not actually redundancy). But look at this little tricky part if he added a cable attached to the trapeeze the performer now has a redundancy of 3 for staying off the ground, but still only a level of two for equipment failure (if the trapeeze itself breaks, his harness attached to the trapeeze will also fail).
For activities with known dangers, low factors of redundancy are acceptible. Let's look at the trapeeze artist again. The danger is from falling, so a safety net should do the trick every time, and you will notice most performers only have a redundancy of 2.
Now compare this to driving in a car. In a car, there are hundreds of thousands of individual events which could cause you to die. Each one of those events must be foreseen, and prevented each with their own redundancy factors. For example, a tire falling off could easily kill you, therefore you have multiple lug nuts, and multiplied factors of safety in the strength of materials used in the tire to make sure they stay on. Then to prevent a death from a collision, you have multiple safety functions like crumple zones, air bags, and safety belts all increasing your safety by not only working in unison, but also independently in case the other systems do not work.
Imagine all the potential problems you could face in something as complex as space travel. Your crops could fail, your fuel source could leak, you could hit something, your crew could become sterile... The amount of brain power it would take to predict all these possible problems, then provide enough materials to ensure survival through these incidents is just mind boggling. I see this as the true limiting factor in safe space travel. Because with the inability to create new resources (you only have what you bring with you), you must be prepared for everything, which is by definition impossible.|||Nuclear pulse engine.|||Use the stargate man. A worm hole.|||well the first unmanned way is to hope that alien life forms exist and are among us so that one day the public will have their advance technology using this technology we can travel just like they are.
Maned made objects could be finding a way to convert our bodies to energy. Once we can do that it should be easy to teleport them to different places. The famous E=MC^2 might help in aiding that.
I personally believe that if Albert E lived a little longer he would of came up with time and space travel. However, there are some profound intellectual individuals living today so one can expect a physics breakthrough.|||I recall the orion project. a nuclear pulsed explosion driven rocket. its supposed to be able to year a light year in something like 300 years or so.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tel鈥?/a>
use of the technology became illegal after a combination of countries created a no nuclear testing contract, even in space
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_Tes鈥?/a>
so far its the fastest way to travel, and was actually working in space for testing. its unfortunate we can't use it anymore.
now were trying to come up with an antimatter nuclear pulsed explosion rocket to reach a light year in something like 8 years, but thats dependent on controlling anti matter
if you ask me. even using nuclear pulsed rockets to get 1 light year away, set up with an array of equipment would help out a hell of a lot better than what we have now.
I also find quantum tunneling or teleportation interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tel鈥?/a>
Its already been observed and recreated in lab tests.
with a little more focus and we could set it up to relay the information the array could collect all the way to earth instantly. faster than the speed of light!|||Before we can travel to other stars extensive colonisation and industrialization of our solar system will have to take place.

that's just a guess. no time-travel (ha ha) or anything involved.
of course the sad news is that there really isnt anything much out there.
I mean, after the drive and all that exploring that... uh, might happen. soon. if it happens, i mean.
just forget i said anything, ok?|||You need reaction mass, and a way to accelerate it to high speed.
Reaction mass isn't difficult to come by: you can use water, hydrogen, bricks, whatever. Ion thrusters have been built using things like cesium. Just as long as you can shoot stuff out your exhaust at very high speed.
The power supply is the problem. We have used chemical reactions up to now, but they won't carry us much further. We need a more concentrated energy source: fission reactors will do, even if they're messy. I'd like to find a way to make practical fusion reactors.
Solve the propulsion problem and you can go anywhere. You are invited to work out how long it would take to get to Jupiter, Saturn, or even Pluto at, say 0.1g constant boost.
Interstellar travel is still problematic. Imagine trying to get funding for a project that couldn't produce any results for 500 years...|||As John records in the Book of Revelation, when he was translated to the third heaven, we shall all eventually stand before the Throne of God and, by our *own* personal choices, either enter the eternal presence of God or be condemned to spend eternity, away from God, our loved ones and all of our friends. The first heaven is the earth's atmosphere; the second heaven is the rest of the physical universe; God, who is outside of the physical universe is in the third heaven, which is, of course, outside of our solar system! Thus either physical death or the Rapture will be the *best* way to travel out of the solar system and even the physical universe - to spend eternity in (as we commonly refer to them) either Heaven or Hell!|||I believe the best way to leave our solar system is the M2P2 drive which stands for mini-magnetospheric plasma propulsion. It is a solenoid that generates a magnetic field that holds plasma, atoms stripped of their electrons. When the solar wind, which are ionized gases from the sun, hits the field, it pushes the space craft away from the sun. And the speed of the solar winds is about 300 km/s. Meaning so fast it can reach the moon in about 30 minutes. Of course it would still take a fair amount of time to reach the out reaches of our solar system, but it is a worth endeavour.

What is the best way to travel with my dog?
I have a Toy Fox Terrier, and I may need to travel across several states a few times this year. She is very distressed by being crated, but she will wear a seat belt harness and behave extraordinarily well in the car. Unfortunately, I do not drive. I don't mind flying or taking the bus, but I would like to do whatever is best for her. I know there are a lot of restrictions on traveling with dogs, but I don't know them. Any ideas?|||In my experience, car travel is by far the most agreeable to a dog. You can stop for stretches, potty breaks, whatever, whenever.
Dogs are not allowed on Greyhound or MegaBus buses, unless they are certified service dogs. Dogs are not allowed on any Amtrak transport, with the exception of service animals.
Air travel is generally safe for dogs; however, in order to make the experience as peaceful as possible, your dog needs practice in that kennel. She will have to be crated for the duration of the flight. Some airlines allow dogs under 20 pounds to be carried onto the plane, providing that the kennel fits under the seat. Other airlines fly pets as cargo only. This varies widely between airlines.
To fly, your dog will have to be up to the minute with her vaccinations, and you will have to obtain a health certificate from your vet. It is extremely costly, as well, adding up to $300 to a round-trip ticket.
Perhaps the most cost effective alternative for you would be to find an excellent boarding facility in your area, and have her attend a few "doggie daycare" sessions a month. That way, when you have to board her for several days while you travel, she will be accustomed to the facility and known by the employees.|||In any endeavor, practice makes perfect. Your angel of a dog could turn into a devil in transit if you embark on a lengthy trip without preparing properly. But with a little advance work, you can help your pup learn to take travel in stride.
http://dogtime.com/travel.html|||I think you should crate-train her, because that's the only way you can travel with her(without driving, and if you're taking a plane). Make the crate fun for her, so she isn't so stressed. Put toys, food, and treats for her. Don't make the crate a punishment, ever. Don't force in there, either. Let her get used to it. It can also be a nice little place for her to go whenever she wants to be alone and away from everyone. Also, you could put her in there if you ever have to leave her(but never leave her in the crate for more than 8 hours).
As for buses, I'm not sure what they do. Sorry =/|||On her back|||On you can't take her by bus.
Traveling by plane you could take her in the cabin with you BUT she would have to remain in her travel carrier for the entire flight mind you most airlines have a 20lbs weight limit this includes the weight of the carrier.
So you have two options get her used to being in a soft sided carrier to go in cabin with you if you fly or look in have her boarded, stay with a friend/relative.|||i travel with my dog few times state to state i didn't drive my friends or my family droves. i hold and sit with my toy poodle less stress when travel with car but i never try to fly or taking bus i think its too much stress for little dog without owner's comfort. even though traveling in the car is stressful for all the dog anyway. all the animal has feeling whether they are comfortable or uncomfortable same as humans. you can also find out and call to travel with pet information in airlines or bus line for example, if you are traveling by air there are few restrictions to follow you need to bring identification tag for pet, crate for your pet ( food and water), some vet papers but best way to find out is calling them for what you need to do. hope this help
Dogs are not allowed on Greyhound or MegaBus buses, unless they are certified service dogs. Dogs are not allowed on any Amtrak transport, with the exception of service animals.
Air travel is generally safe for dogs; however, in order to make the experience as peaceful as possible, your dog needs practice in that kennel. She will have to be crated for the duration of the flight. Some airlines allow dogs under 20 pounds to be carried onto the plane, providing that the kennel fits under the seat. Other airlines fly pets as cargo only. This varies widely between airlines.
To fly, your dog will have to be up to the minute with her vaccinations, and you will have to obtain a health certificate from your vet. It is extremely costly, as well, adding up to $300 to a round-trip ticket.
Perhaps the most cost effective alternative for you would be to find an excellent boarding facility in your area, and have her attend a few "doggie daycare" sessions a month. That way, when you have to board her for several days while you travel, she will be accustomed to the facility and known by the employees.|||In any endeavor, practice makes perfect. Your angel of a dog could turn into a devil in transit if you embark on a lengthy trip without preparing properly. But with a little advance work, you can help your pup learn to take travel in stride.

Make the crate fun for her, so she isn't so stressed. Put toys, food, and treats for her. Don't make the crate a punishment, ever. Don't force in there, either. Let her get used to it. It can also be a nice little place for her to go whenever she wants to be alone and away from everyone. Also, you could put her in there if you ever have to leave her(but never leave her in the crate for more than 8 hours).
