I'm listening to the Bollywood song
" Aja main hawaon pay bitha kay lai chaloon Tu hi to meri dost hai,
Aja main khlaoan main utha kay lay chaloon tu hi to meri dost hai.
And you????

Hi,
A friend and me will be flying in to Darwin on Friday 5 Feb.
We're flying back the following Friday at midnight.
Our plan is as following:
Friday: Darwin
Sat: Darwin to Kakadu
Sun: Kakadu
Mon: Kakadu
Tue: Kakadu
Wed: Litchfield
Thu: Litchfield and then back to Darwin
Does this make sense?
We've never been there before, so got no idea.
Yes, we're aware that it's the wet season, but this is the only time that we can go (he's flying over from Denmark).
What should we go and see in Kakadu and Litchfield?
Feel VERY welcome to come with any suggestions and changes to our itinerary.
Finally, we've found 4WD Auto Camper hire for around A$900 for 6 days incl. No Worries cover.
Can this be done cheaper?

In February we will be visiting Cuba for the first time.
Looking forward to visiting Havana, but are a bit worried about the food (which always is an important holiday factor for us).
Any forum members who would like to share their favorite restaurant (midprice range)in and around Habana Vieja?
Thanx for any info!
Pete

Has anyone contact email/phonenumbers for Pensao Martins in Maputo?
Everything I find on the internet seems hopelessly out of date.
Have they gone out of business? Any other alternatives? It's only for a one night sleepover on my way to Nampula. Anything closer to the airport maybe?
Thanks very much

I'm going to be in Denmark for work in early January (coming from Australia) and was planning on doing a side trip to Prague for a couple of days to see the sights. I'm also keen to catch up on some Marks & Spencer shopping (sad I know) and I've heard there is one in Prague. I'm just wondering how similar the one in Prague is to the ones in the UK? Particularly, I love the clothes and always try to stock up when I get a chance to go to the UK. If the stores in Prague are similar then I won't need to try and also stop in London too.

I have plans to go and spend a week with my husband in Costa Rica in January 2010. I realize that one week is way too short, but that's the only time we have to celebrate our anniversary! We have plans to rent a car and travel that way. My husband has connections to a hotel in Arenal so we're planning to spend a few nights there. Otherwise, we have nothing planned! (And my husband is very unhelpful with planning). We want to spend a few nights at a really non-touristy beach - I've had recommendations for beaches near Brasilito and Potrero (Guanacaste) but all of the hotels are very expensive. I've already spent a good deal of time on the Caribbean coast, so my preference would be to adventure around the other side of the country. I don't know how much time we should budget for each location, but we were thinking about maybe doing 2 or 3 different areas: Arenal, Guanacaste, and maybe a... more »

Hi there, I am keen to know if local people living in Istanbul shop at the Grand Baazar or whether it is mainly tourists that do so. I am interested from the perspective that both my mother and I bought leather handbags in October and having both returned to Australia have found the zips to now be broken. These bags weren't exactly cheap compared to Australian prices either so I am particulary somewhater disappointed. Could it be that the shop owners might be giving tourists faulty products knowing they cannot come back and complain?
Having shopped there once and both enjoying the experience we doubt we would do it, if we get another opportunity in the future to shopen there a second time. What do the locals do? What do they think of the Grand Baazar - is it an opportunistic bargain place for them?

My wife and I plan to fly to Holland from NZ in the end of april. We plan to see the main cities, do some cycling in the Betuwe and Limburg and some sailing in Friesland. We like to stay in classy hotels. Not just pricey and luxureous , but they got to have character and style. Nice decorations, good furniture, dining facilities, that sort of thing. We warmly welcome your suggestions.

I'd appreciate current info. about IMSS, Mexico's national health insurance system. Based on a posting last February http://rollybrook.com/health.htm#IMSS, we applied for coverage from HCC, but for unknown reasons were turned down by the underwriters. (We're 58 and 65 and in generally good health, although one of us did have a malignant tumor that was successfully removed 9 years ago--maybe that's what caught the underwriter's eye.)
So does IMS have less strict underwriting policies?
If so, what exactly does one need to apply? We've got FM3s, but the aforementioned post says that IMSS required a birth certificate and marriage license. True? Does one "require an...apostille and to be translated into Spanish by an approved translator," and how much does that cost?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Richard
