A mad dash across the border into Alberta took us into dinosaur territory where we visited Dinosaur

Just about every person I met while driving across Canada last summer told me that it was their dream to take that trip some day. Many others recounted their own nostalgic memories of making the trip when they were kids.
I was lucky enough colorado springs vacation rentals to be doing it and also one of those people with fond memories. My parents drove me and my brother out West twice while we were growing up. I credit those trips for having sparked my love of travel and of this country. My two boys were about the same age that we were when we did it so I thought this was the right time to show them more of Canada.
Over a little more than two weeks, the changing terrain of Canada unfolded before us like the chapters of a book. The buildup began in Chapter One as we traversed northern Ontario. The Prairie chapter introduced colorado springs vacation rentals a new landscape. The tale hurried towards a climax in The Rockies then slid towards its denouement on Vancouver Island. The drive home across America’s interstate was our epilogue.
We didn’t have a lot of time to get to the Pacific Ocean and back again so very little was left to chance. Our itinerary was planned with military precision. If we arrived at a destination and it was raining, that was just too bad. We weren’t sticking around to wait for the sun to appear. We had to reach our next milestone the following day in order to stay on schedule.
Our first stop was Sudbury, home to the giant nickel. It poured rain when we got there. Not a good start to our odyssey, but the sun shone the next day and it was clear enough that we could see smoke thinly pouring from the Inco Superstack that towers over the town. It doesn’t colorado springs vacation rentals sound like a sight worth seeing, but the colossal size of the chimney dwarfs such icons as the Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty. The only freestanding structure in Canada that is any taller colorado springs vacation rentals is Toronto’s CN Tower.
The drive out of Sault Ste. Marie along Lake Superior National Park is among the most scenic in the country. The views along this stretch of highway with its rocky shores and cliffs lining the vast waters of the world’s largest lake are stunning. The road’s beauty was enhanced by the low sun that lit the landscape with golden light as we drove it in the late afternoon.
After a night in the pleasant city of Thunder colorado springs vacation rentals Bay, we drove a short while to admire the rushing waters of the mighty Kakabeka Falls, a natural attraction of which I was completely clueless before spotting a highway sign notifying us of its existence. It was just one of many such discoveries that we would make as we explored the nation.
The drive across Northern Ontario is long. It is punctuated by sights of extreme beauty, but there are long stretches of forest and lake that are so similar that it becomes monotonous. As we drove, I remarked on the number of abandoned hotels and restaurants which died along with the popularity of road trips and the rise of chain businesses. I thought they would be a great subject for a photo essay some day.
As you leave Ontario and cross the border into Manitoba, the terrain gradually changes. The rocky scenery of the Canadian Shield and its plentiful bogs, ponds, lakes and ragged pine trees thin outs. Eventually, colorado springs vacation rentals it disappears, as if by magic, and you find yourself rolling across the flat prairie colorado springs vacation rentals landscape with its distant horizons and big skies.
I’ve often heard people say how boring the flatness of this Prairies colorado springs vacation rentals is, but it’s usually people colorado springs vacation rentals who have never actually set foot there. Spend some time in a field of yellow canola flowers beneath a blue sky with an impossible number of white clouds overhead and you quickly realize that this landscape is as beautiful as any other in the country.
In Winnipeg, we had dinner by the Forks. The national historic site is known as a place where different cultures have met over the centuries. In that spirit, I dined on pierogi poutine, the perfect meeting of Ukrainian immigrant cuisine with French-Canadian comfort food.
We learned about some of Canada’s history in the rustic Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum in Brandon, Manitoba and we got another dose of history colorado springs vacation rentals in the much glossier RCMP Museum in Regina, Saskatchewan.
We headed north to Saskatoon, a city that is too often overlooked by travellers since it is off the main stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway. I’d like to say that we explored it, but we were there to visit family so never got beyond their backyard.
A mad dash across the border into Alberta took us into dinosaur territory where we visited Dinosaur Provincial Park, one of the most amazing sources of prehistoric fossils anywhere in the world. At first, it all looks like rocks, but after some coaching from a guide, you realize that just about all of those stones under your feet are actually bits of fossilized wood and bone. We admired more complete dinosaur skeletons at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, one of Canada’s colorado springs vacation rentals most impressive museums.
When we drove into Banff National Park on Saturday, we discovered that it was the last long weekend colorado springs vacation rentals of the summer. This isn’t a holiday celebrated by us Quebecers so it didn’t factor into our calculations. This is clearly not a good time to visit the most popular national park in the country as everyone is in a panic to do something before summer slips away and they all wanted to do it there.
colorado springs vacation rentals The lineups to drive to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were staggering. Cars were parked along the side of the access roads for kilometres as if they had been abandoned during a zombie apocalypse. The shores of the lakes swarmed with people like ants on a sugar cube.
Despite the long lines and the crowds, the iconic vistas were worth the wait. We enjoyed mesmerizing views of mountains, lakes and rivers all day as we slowly made our way through Banff National Park into Jasper National Park. As for wildlife spotting, we weren’t disappointed. Two black bears, numerous elk and a bighorn sheep were among the large game we saw during our drive.
Our plans to stay in Jasper were thwarted as all affordable accommodation had been snapped up long ago for the long weekend. We had to backtrack out of the park towards Edmonton where we scored an overpriced hotel room in the town of Hinton. It worked out fine because we got to admire the gorgeous scenery in the eastern edge of the park and were treated to some closeup encounters with magnificent elk grazing by a lake at the side of the road.
The next day, we returned to Jasper for a bit of horseback riding then ventured further west across the Rockies into British Columbia and down into the Thompson River Valley where we slowly descended into the semi-arid landscape of sage and cactus around Kamloops. The scenery looks like it is lifted straight from the scenes of a cowboy movie, not something you’d expect to see in Canada.
After a night’s rest, we took the long drive to the vibrant city of Vancouver where we ditched our car and stayed in a downtown hotel for two nights. We explored the city by public transit and bicycle, hitting the usual tourist spots of Stanley Park, the Vancouver Aquarium, the Harbourfront and Canada Place.
By now, we had driven many kilometres, seen many sights and packed a lot of experiences into a short time period, but morale in the car remained high. The key to surviving this kind of trip is to not drive too many hours without stopping for a break and not over schedule yourself with activities so that you don’t leave any time for discovery.
We got a break from driving colorado springs vacation rentals by taking the ferry to the B.C. capital, Victoria. It is best described as cozy. Much of our visit centered around walks by the city’s Inner Harbour, with the Gothic splendour of the vine-covered Fairmont Empress colorado springs vacation rentals Hotel on one side and the grandeur of the provincial assembly building on the other. The harbour was busy with colourful sailboats and other vessels as well as the coming and going of noisy floatplanes ferrying colorado springs vacation rentals passengers to Vancouver and beyond.
We boarded one of the boats in the harbour, a massive zodiac operated by Prince of Whales, to go whale watching. We sped out into the sea, bundled in red survival suits and orange tuques, both necessary because of the cold wind we faced while speeding across the frigid water.
colorado springs vacation rentals After some fruitless searching, we eventually came across a pair of orcas hunting seals by the rocks of some small island. Our guide was excited that we’d see them devour something, but we never did get that Mutual of Omaha moment colorado springs vacation rentals of a whale eating a seal. We got close enough to see the tall fins of the whales and their distinctive white and black markings and that was satisfying enough.
From Victoria, we made the long drive to Tofino. Anticipation grew as we drove the last stretch of winding road through forests and mountains to our end destination. At last, about an hour before sunset, we arrived at the gates of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the western shore of Vancouver colorado springs vacation rentals Island. We drove to Long Beach, possibly the most beautiful in the country, and waded across the wide, sandy flats in the golden light of a setting sun. Low patches of fog clung to the tall pine trees behind the beach. We let the frigid waters of the Pacific Ocean numb our bare feet. In the sand, we scrawled the number 6,324. That’s how many kilometres we drove to get there.
The following morning dawned foggy and grey, but we had signed up for a surfing lesson. Clad in figure-hugging wetsuits and booties, we dragged our long boards colorado springs vacation rentals to the beach and were instructed on the finer points colorado springs vacation rentals of climbing up and catching a wave. The water was freezing, but the wetsuits did their job and it was hardly noticeable after a few minutes. After many attempts, punctuated by lots of falling and laughing, we all succeeded at standing upright on our boards, propelled by the waves beneath us. Mission accomplished. It was time to go home.
The next day was the beginning of our long trek back to Montreal. We pointed the GPS towards Seattle, then rocketed across the U.S. towards Chicago, crossing the border at Sarnia, O

I'm not even sure if these exist anymore, other than the massively reduced one on Disneyland 's Main

It's gone. As of Monday, Canada has stopped distributing the penny, and price tags ending in 99 cents (which we all know means another dollar added to the price) will become a thing of the past. Well, not exactly. All credit cie tours international and debit purchases will still be charged to the penny. It's only the cash transactions that are to be rounded to the nearest nickel, and in all fairness we've been doing that up here for years now anyways. Truthfully, in the first four days of being a penniless nation, cie tours international I haven't really noticed a difference.
That was last week though, and this week my mind is turning to future travel plans. No, I'm not booking any one cent flights to jet around the world (although if you know of any, please cie tours international share), but there's a few scenarios coming to mind where I can see there being some significant differences if the penny wasn't available.
This has always been one of my favorite souvenirs from our travels, mainly because it only cost 51 cents to produce. We have squished pennies from all over the place, and while the cost increment to move up to a nickel doesn't really bother cie tours international me, I have no idea if nickels will squish the same way that the pennies did. Those handles at the San Diego Zoo were hard enough to turn when it was only copper we were flattening.
I'm not even sure if these exist anymore, other than the massively reduced one on Disneyland 's Main Street. When you frequent arcades as much as we do however, it's a real treat when you stumble cie tours international upon one of the old penny machines. They never work all that well and they aren't as flashy as the newer breed of machines, but when all you're forking over is a couple of cents you don't really worry too much about the game play. An hours entertainment for a dollar in pennies is a great investment in any situation.
cie tours international So what...it's five cents a wish now? That's a 500% increase, and let's face it, the results from these things are iffy at best. If it's going to cost me a nickel every time my kids want to toss a coin into a wishing well, I want to start seeing some more substantial results. Of course, I don't ever ask my kids what they're wishing for, so maybe they're actually getting their wishes cie tours international fulfilled. I should probably ask them about that. Maybe they wished for Dad to quit paying their allowance cie tours international in pennies.
The theory behind these things is that you pay one rate for your first night in a hotel, and then your rate for the second night was the year you were born. So if I was born in 1977 (stop laughing) I would pay $19.77 for the second night. Only now I can't pay that, so the charge would have to be rounded down to $19.75. I'm all for paying less, but does that make me two years older? Two cents isn't worth being thought of as two years older than I am. On the other hand, I'll gladly pay three cents more if they're willing to round it up to $19.80, and I'd even be willing to throw in thirteen cents extra if it gets documented that I was born in 1990. Of course if I'm traveling with my kids, I'll probably stick to the one or two year difference. I don't need them doing that kind of math.
Look, I know that the penny machines in Vegas have terrible odds, but there's something enjoyable about whiling away your time at a Lobstermania machine playing one penny per line. Even playing the maximum number of lines, it only comes out to about 30 cents per spin, and that's an entertainment budget I can live within. Without cie tours international pennies though, that goes up to $1.50 a spin, and at that point it starts to make my wife a little nervous. I'm pretty sure she just sees her shopping money spinning away on the screen, and there's no fun in the game when she's standing behind me yelling "Cash Out!" every time I hit a bonus round.

Dim Sum is a great option when you're grabbing dinner with a large group of people, or craving a lat

Temasek (“Sea Town” in Old Javanese) had quietly existed as a small town and trade centre, maybe since the 2nd century, before Sang Nila Utatma, prince of Palembang, stumbled across it on a hunting expedition in the 13th century. He encountered a creature in the jungle, and was (falsely) informed by his men that it was a lion. It had most likely been an Asiatic Golden Cat, but no matter, the prince believed it to be a good omen and renamed the island “Singapura” – the Lion City.
Singapore has risen from humble beginnings, survived both British colonial pakistan international airlines rule and Japanese military occupation during World War II, and grown into the bustling independent metropolis that it is today. With over 5 million people crammed into 276.5 square miles of space, it’s obvious why so many of the buildings in Singapore are high-rise ones. The main island sits just north of the equator, at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Its central location (and beautiful airport) makes it a popular jumping off point to the rest of South East Asia, and an interesting destination where Chinese, pakistan international airlines Malay, Indian, Eurasian and many other cultures intersect.
This is the world’s largest aquarium, housing over 100,000 marine animals from over 800 species.  Standing in front of the open ocean tank is a pretty amazing experience, intended to make you feel like you’re on the ocean floor. That is, if you can ignore the hoards of tourists – perhaps go on a weekday afternoon to avoid this. It is a little pricey, so maybe choose between the aquarium and the zoo.
You’d feel like you’re right up close with the animals in this zoo, which features exhibits that utilize hidden pakistan international airlines barriers, moats and glass, instead of metal cages and fences. If you would like an even more intimate experience, you can pay extra to have breakfast with the orangutans. The newest addition to the zoo is the river safari, where you can check out Jia Jia and Kai Kai, Giant Pandas from China.
Hands down, this is where you can get the best view of the city skyline – from an observation deck 200 metres up in the air. If you’re into photography, you can get really great pictures at sunset. To avoid paying the fee, opt to go get a drink at Ku De Ta, which is also located at the SkyPark. The bummer is that only hotel guests pakistan international airlines get to swim in the vanishing edge pool.
Its name means “peace and tranquility” in Malay, and you can find this at one of the three beach areas on the island resort. The Sentosa Express, which leaves from Vivocity, takes you to several of its other attractions, such as the gigantic pakistan international airlines Merlion statue (the emblem of Singapore), Resorts World, of which Universal Studios is part of, and the MegaZip Adventure pakistan international airlines park.
The oldest museum in Singapore houses cool artefacts like the very first daguerreotype of Singapore Town and the hearse of Tan Jiak Kim (a prominent businessman in the 1800s). Entry to the Living Gallery is free, but there may be admission charges for  selected exhibitions and programmes.
The suburbs, also known as the “heartlands”, might be a good place to visit if you want to get a taste of how the locals live. Take the MRT (metro system) or bus a little further out to neighborhoods like Toa Payoh or Serangoon and park yourself at a kopitiam (open-air food court) that stays open into the wee hours of the morning.
Saying that this place is weird might be downplaying it (even locals nowadays are confused by this place). It used to be a theme park, made for the purpose of teaching traditional Chinese values, and depicting certain pakistan international airlines mythological tales. Over the years, the high entrance fees caused the number of visitors to dwindle, and eventually management decided to stop having fees altogether. The best part of the park is the Ten Courts of Hell, where you can learn of all the gruesome things you can expect to happen to you when you die. Fun times indeed!
You can catch a cable car ride over to Sentosa from the Jewel Box, or take an easy trek up this hill for a view of the southern part of Singapore. The park is connected to Telok Blangah Hill Park by the Henderson Waves bridge, which is a cool bit of architecture in the middle of the rainforest. There are wood-paneled cut outs perfect for sitting and taking in the view. It’s a popular spot for skaters, joggers and groups of kids with their guitars.
With so many different cultures coexisting in one small space, you can expect there always to be some kind of event going on. The Chinese population celebrates Chinese New Year in January or February, depending on the lunar calendar, and there will be tons of lion dance troupes out ushering in good luck to homes and businesses. All you have to do is follow the sound of cymbals and drums. During Hari Raya Ramadan, plan to have a dinner of traditional Malay delicacies at the night bazaar in Geylang Serai. Little India gets beautifully lit up during Deepavali, a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory pakistan international airlines of good over evil, and light over darkness. Visit Buddhist, Taoist or Hindu temples to participate or just observe ceremonies.
Eating is jokingly referred to as Singapore’s national pastime, and it is definitely true that food is taken seriously here. There are so many 24-hour food establishments, and Singaporeans will travel considerably long distances to get what they want.
Dim Sum is a great option when you’re grabbing dinner with a large group of people, or craving a late night snack with a friend. Try going after midnight to avoid the queue – Swee Choon is open 6 days a week, from 6pm to 6am.
Hainanese Chicken Rice: It sounds simple pakistan international airlines enough: boneless pieces of steamed or roasted chicken laid over rice, dressed with dark soy sauce and a spicy garlic chilli. pakistan international airlines This dish, however, is so popular that it is considered the “national dish” of Singapore by some, and can be found anywhere from hawker stalls to major restaurants.
There are three different rooms at Zouk: Zouk, Velvet Underground and Phuture. Depending on the night, the DJs will be spinning anything from house to R B. Once a month, Velvet Underground hosts Poptart, a pop, punk, postrock and indie night. You can probably find the guestlist on their Facebook page which gets you free entry.
English is considered pakistan international airlines the main language, but there are three other main languages used on the island as well Malay, pakistan international airlines Mandarin and Tamil. There are countless other dialects that people use amongst themselves, as well as the delightful creole language, known as Singlish .
Taina is a semester away from graduating from Emerson College with a BFA in Writing, Literature Publishing. She hails from the little island city of Singapore and often writes about the search for home.

Cybulskie So you have decided to go to Singapore the business and commercial powerhouse of Asia. You want to see its famous skyline and ultra-modern infrastructure. You would like to know what makes this small country so great! All this excitement eventually provoked you to book your flights.  And everything is good and ready for the trip except for one thing; you don’t know exactly where you’re going to stay. For some visitors, finding comfortable accommodation hotels in miami fl is the priority, and choosing the right area to stay in the city comes in second. This is fine if you have the money and the time to commute to Singapore’s major attractions. But, for time or budget-conscious visitors, Chasing Places suggests a more strategic approach to choosing your accommodation area. When it comes to choosing the most convenient spot to stay in Singapore, travel savvy individuals would most likely choose hotels in miami fl between the Clark Quay and Chinatown areas.  These neighborhoods are very near each other, and are both served by Singapore’s MRT purple line. You can even walk from one neighborhood to another. Clarke Quay is always ready to party the night away Both areas are considered to be attractions in their own right. Clark Quay is both a business and entertainment hub populated by corporate buildings and shops. It is widely known for its upmarket nightlife scene.  Since the Singapore River runs through this neighborhood, it’s naturally one of the more scenic places in the city. But the scenery became even more striking and upbeat when a large entertainment complex was built beside the river. This complex is populated by the best restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs in the city.  Everybody comes to Clark Quay to party, to see and be seen. If you prefer a more low-key and more intimate setting, Boat Quay, which is also filled with river-side pubs and restaurants, is less than a kilometer away.   Now, how is that for convenience? Chinatown, as the name suggests is the Chinese cultural center of Singapore. Here, you will find traditional shop houses and temples. But in true Singapore fashion, this Chinatown is a little bit too clean and proper compared to its counterparts in other cities (e.g. KL’s Chinatown).

If exiting at Bugis, the key roads are Rochor Rd and Victoria St . Walk north on Victoria St until y

Bugis has a colorful past. Originally named after the people who prowled in the Straits before the arrival of the British, the area where Bugis Junction now stands was the original home of Singapore's small Hainanese community, famous for their large contribution to Singapore's culinary culture, before they moved to Beach Road in the early 20th century to make use of the docks and seafront. The same area was also home to Singapore's Japanese community before World War II, and was originally populated by girls from poorer parts of Japan who came to Singapore to work as prostitutes. The Japanese community then grew and in their heyday cheap one way rental cars just prior to World War II, they were running many businesses and even had their own school and newspaper. However, the British repatriated all ethnic Japanese in Singapore after World War II, and did not allow any ethnic Japanese to enter Singapore for the next few years, thus spelling a temporary end for the Japanese community in Singapore. (The Japanese came back eventually, but these days they hang out around Robertson Quay .)
For a long time after the war, the area was Singapore's equivalent of Patpong , a red-light district known for its bars and transvestite prostitutes or katies (the anglicized version of the Thai kathoey ). However, in 1985 the area was redeveloped with a vengeance, turning it into a sanitized shopping experience for the whole family.
Neighboring cheap one way rental cars Kampong Glam , also known by the name of its main thoroughfare Arab Street , was where Singapore's Arab traders settled in the founding days of the colony, and was also the part of town allocated to the Malays when Raffles drew up his town plan. But here too, the original inhabitants fled in the 1920s as real-estate prices drove through the roof, and today the heart of Muslim Singapore beats in Geylang Serai on the East Coast .
So what's left then? A slice of modern Singapore at its most hyperactive : hundreds upon hundreds of shops and restaurants, cheap one way rental cars several attractive promenades and a bazaar selling the cheapest T-shirts in town. Head here on a weekend to experience Singaporean consumerism at its finest.
The Bugis and Lavender MRT stations on the East-West line are the primary entry points into the district. If arriving by bus from Malaysia, you'll most likely be deposited at either the Queen St bus terminal cheap one way rental cars or Golden Mile Complex, which lie on the edges of the area.
If exiting at Bugis, the key roads are Rochor Rd and Victoria St . Walk north on Victoria St until you spot the golden domes of the Sultan Mosque; turn left here for Arab St , or keep walking north for Lavender MRT. Alternatively, head west on Rochor Rd to reach Little India , within easy walking distance; or head south on Victoria St to return to Orchard Road .
The pedestrian sections of Albert St and Waterloo St make exploring the area On foot a pleasure. Getting to Kampong Glam from Bugis is a slightly longer hike though, cheap one way rental cars hop on any northbound bus on Victoria Rd for a few stops to shortcut the distance.
Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho , 178 Waterloo St . Dedicated to Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy. According to legend, wishes made in here come true, which would explain why it's always packed. The procedure goes like this: enter, light some joss sticks, pray for advice about a dilema, then shake a container of cham si (bamboo sticks) until one falls out. Throw a pair of red Jiao. If you get one on the round side and the other on the flat side, get a free matching slip with verses (also in English) explaining the Goddess's advice. Advice is not always given. If it is given, take it to one of the resident soothsayers for their interpretation. Free, although voluntary donations are accepted . edit
Malay Heritage Centre , 85 Sultan Gate , [1] . M-Sa 10AM-6PM . Set on the grounds of beautifully restored Istana Kampong Glam, the site looks gorgeous from the outside but despite some half-hearted attempts at whiz-bang multimedia, the museum inside is rather disappointing.\\ Free entry onto the grounds, $3 for the museum . edit
Sultan Mosque , 3 Muscat St ( off North Bridge Rd ). 9AM-1PM, 2-4PM daily . Also known as Masjid Sultan and the largest mosque in Singapore, the building is easily identified thanks to its golden domes, but there's not much to see inside. cheap one way rental cars Note that shorts, short skirts or sleeveless T-shirts are not permissible attire, but you can borrow a cloak if needed. Free . edit
Hajjah Fatimah Mosque , 4001 Beach Road . Also known as Masjid Hajjah Fatimah , it is probably Singapore's second most important mosque historically after Sultan Mosque. It was named after an aristocratic Malay woman who donated money to build it. Its design is a mix of local Malay Muslim and colonial British architecture. This minaret cheap one way rental cars tower is also worth a look as it leans slightly off-centre towards the main prayer hall. As with all mosques, revealing clothing should be avoided. Free . edit
Sri Krishnan Temple , 152 Waterloo St . A Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu. Right next door to Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho, and there's a steady stream of Chinese visitors hedging their bets by making offerings to the Hindu gods too. Free . edit
Bugis Junction , 200 Victoria Street ( MRT Bugis ), [2] . Singapore's teenage haven, built around the restored shophouses of Hylam and Malay Streets, covered with a roof for shopping in any weather. Anchor tenants include department store BHG and the minimalist Japanese home decoration cheap one way rental cars shop Muji (BHG 2F); also check out the ever-surprising fountain in the middle of Bugis Square. The basement has a good selection of cheap to midrange eateries, and the Food Junction foodcourt on the 3rd floor is a cut above the usual. edit
Bugis+ , 201 Victoria St ( opp Bugis Junction ). The latest mall in Bugis, aimed squarely at the same teen market as Bugis Junction and housing more or less the same shops, plus an 9-screen Film Garde [3] cineplex. Latest add-on to this mall is the biggest Electronic Darts Arena in Singapore known as Dartssoul Cafe + Bar (www.facebook.com/dartssoulcafe), fill with 13 boards, cafe and bar in it which is the earliest to open and last to close. bored? Have some games, make some friends, drinks and chill out with the sports on big projector screen. Worth a look at night, when the panels outside pulse and shift in an impressive light show. Houses (at least for now) a unique food court, Ramen Champion , comprising nothing but ramen shops from Japan and that's worth a visit for ramen fans. edit
Right across Victoria St, Bugis Street no longer has bars and transvestites, but it does have a bazaar (Bugis Village) that sells all sorts of vaguely touristy knick-knacks as well as mass-market streetwear. This is the cheapest place in Singapore to buy T-shirts for family back home, although the quality of those $2 shirts is pretty much what you'd expect. If you haven't sampled tropical fruits yet, take a look at the fruit stalls at the other end.
If you continue walking straight through Bugis Street, you'll reach the Albert Street and Waterloo Street pedestrian mall. Browse through shops offering Buddhist paraphernalia cheap one way rental cars and take a peek at the two temples on Waterloo St. Keep going straight to reach electronics haven Sim Lim Square and beyond it Little cheap one way rental cars India .
Sin Chew Chinese Cultural Products Supermart , 192 Waterloo St . True to the name, this store packs in vast quantities of Buddhas and Confucian deities, glittering in gold, blinking lights and all shades of kitsch. Note the statue of Hotei the "Laughing Buddha" outside there is a steady crowd trooping up to rub his big belly, hoping to catch some of his good luck. edit
Like Little India and Chinatown , Kampong Glam has been restored, refurbished cheap one way rental cars and new life breathed into it, bringing back the former colour and vibrancy of the area. Rows of conserved shophouses can be found in Arab Street, Baghdad cheap one way rental cars Street and Bussorah Street. Many of these shophouses have new tenants such as design and IT firms, art galleries, crafts and curios shops, food caterers and restaurants. They blend in with traditional businesses like textile and carpet shops, antiques and handicrafts shops including those selling traditional games, blacksmiths, and shops selling religious items used by Muslims. On Haji Lane , local independent fashion boutiques and quirky little shops offer a unique shopping experience. It has in recent years emerged as a prominent location for both second-hand clothing and trendy street fashion, featuring the works of both local designers and imported wares from Japan and the States.
Kampong Glam is also an area dotted with good restaurants, from Malaysian coffee shops and bakeries to fine modern European dining, like Le Pont De Vie. Many of the stores on Arab Street specialize in batik and silk . Be prepared to bargain.
Army Market , Beach Rd ( Golden Mile Hawker Centre ). Sells surplus equipment from the Singapore Armed Forces. Mostly popular with local soldiers shopping for replacements, but also of interest to low-budget cheap one way rental cars camping enthusiasts or camouflage fetishists. edit
Sungei Road Thieves Market , Sungei Rd ( Bugis MRT ). This flea market is open daily but is most active on weekend afternoons. It may not be as polished as other flea markets in Singapore but if you look carefully, you might spot hidden treasures in amongst the junk. edit
Bugis has a wide selection of restaurants catering to every taste. A highlight cheap one way rental cars is the area near Arab Street , which specializes in halal (Muslim) food with quite a few Middle Eastern eateries too, most of which offer shisha water pipes as well. Golden Mile Complex , on Beach Rd, is favored by the local Thai population and consequently serves the cheapest and most authentic Thai food in town.
Deli Moroccan , 30 Bussorah Street , ☎ +65-91215121 . Run by a Malay-Moroccan cheap one way rental cars couple, this no-frills eatery serves up the best couscous and tagines in Singapore. Show up early, since service cheap one way rental cars is slow and they tend to run out of the good stuff, an

Now, if you were to get a 2011 Toyota Prius for that economy price, you d get 50 miles to the gallon

I m going to be driving from northern Minnesota to Dallas, Texas for a week this summer, then returning home. I own a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 34,000 miles on it. I m trying to figure out if it s more cost effective to rent a car for this trip or to drive my own car.
First, let s get some numbers. I m going to assume that you live in Duluth, Minnesota, so the length of your trip is 1,100 miles. We ll assume that you re going to drive 300 miles while in Dallas, so your round trip will be pretty close to 2,500 miles.
A 2008 Toyota Corolla gets 29 miles per gallon, according to fueleconomy.gov , which is my source for such data. At your current london hotel discount mileage (and making some default assumptions about your Corolla), it s worth $11,282 london hotel discount according to Kelley Blue Book . After the 2,500 miles of driving, your car would devalue london hotel discount to $11,182, which means that the road trip would devalue your car by $100.
You re also going to be on the hook for half of an oil change if you drive your own car. It also pushes you along on the rest of your maintenance schedule, which is difficult to estimate but does have a significant cost. Commute london hotel discount Solutions identifies the maintenance cost per mile for driving london hotel discount a car as being 5.3 cents, london hotel discount which means that over the course of the trip, you ll rack up about $132.50 in maintenance costs (including oil changes).
Now, if you re renting an economy london hotel discount car, you re going to be paying about $250 for the rental for the round trip. I looked at several different london hotel discount rental companies that function out of Duluth such as Hertz and Enterprise and found several different estimates for a weeklong london hotel discount trip. I did use coupon codes to get those quotes.
A 2011 Chevy Aveo (the example economy car that is mentioned on Enterprise s website) gets 30 miles to the gallon, compared to the 29 mpg of your current london hotel discount car. That means, over the course of the trip, you re going to eat up three more gallons with your own car, costing you about $12.
Now, if you were to get a 2011 Toyota london hotel discount Prius for that economy price, you d get 50 miles to the gallon, compared to the 29 mpg of your current london hotel discount car. That means, over the course of the trip, you re going to eat up 36 more gallons than with your own car, costing you $144 (assuming london hotel discount gas prices are at $4 this summer).
In this example, then, the cost of renting a car with a similar fuel efficiency to your own is roughly equal over the long run. The catch, of course, is that many of the costs associated with your own car are delayed. You don t pay for the maintenance now and the depreciation doesn t affect you now. Those things impact you later down the road.
However, if you rent a car that s significantly more fuel efficient than your own, you ll likely save a little money by renting. Again, the costs of renting are up front, where many of the costs of using your own car are delayed.
Of course, this all depends on the rental rate you re able to get and the car availability. If you re able to lock in a highly fuel efficient car in conjunction with a strong coupon or other offer, you may find it cheaper to rent. Otherwise, you re probably better off driving your own car on this trip.
In the end, there are some factors that make renting a more appealing option: a long trip over a short time period, london hotel discount an increase in fuel efficiency, and the availability of coupons or other discounts makes renting compelling. Without at least some of those factors, though, I d lean toward driving the car I already had, and if the costs were close, I d use my own car because of the lower hassle.

On Tuesday I had a post about using just about any VISA card to pay for your rental car to give you additional protection over and above from your normal insurance (please read that post to get some background). Today I will review choosing an AMEX card over a VISA card. In a final post this weekend, I will look at the last few options like an AMEX upgrade or a card that offers primary coverage; but for today s post, this is just a standard AMEX card we are talking about.
Like VISA, almost ANY AMEX will give you protection. Having said that, just about each AMEX has different T C as to what the exact benefits are for that card so you have to check. For example, depending on the card, coverage covers car france in prestige rental only cars with a mfg. suggested retail price of $50,000 car france in prestige rental for the Delta GOLD or PLATINUM or the RESERVE up to $75,000. VISA has no such firm numbers, but still it shows the importance of checking to see if a car is in fact covered (when the link is working as I was doing final checks and got the below):
#2) In no event shall coverage car france in prestige rental be provided when the Card member car france in prestige rental rents a Rental Auto beyond 30 consecutive days from the same Rental Company, regardless of whether the original agreement is extended, or a new written agreement car france in prestige rental is entered into, or a new vehicle is rented. Additionally, no coverage will be provided when the Primary Renter rents a Rental Auto for more than 30 consecutive days out of a 45 day period within the same geographic market/location (75 mile radius).
#3) NOT COVERED: Full sized sport utility vehicles, including but not limited to, Chevrolet/GMC Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon, Ford Expedition, Lincoln car france in prestige rental Navigator, Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus LX450, Range Rover or full-sized Ford Bronco. car france in prestige rental [also trucks]
With American Express Membership Reward points, you can see you are limited to only a few car rental companies. There is a clear advantage with Chase Ultimate car france in prestige rental Rewards, as you can use them with many more rental car companies.
I could really go on and on with the got ya s like the fact that if your statement is past due you will not be covered but there are exceptions in some states to that. Also, you have to pay for the rental in full so don t use say 1/2 Ultimate Rewards points and 1/2 AMEX to pay. The bottom line on these is you must read with the card you have just what your perks are and are not. This is one of the hardest parts about this post as there is no way to cover all the points as they are different over infinite circumstances. The same thing goes for Mastercard. You have to check with each card. Some have NO coverage some have similar to VISA or AMEX. So, you just have to check.
car france in prestige rental To be fair, there are some big things that are perks over VISA like personal property in a car up to $1000 and up $2000 with others in the car. There is life insurance up to $200,000 plus $20,000 per passenger. If you check you will find some others. But for me, the legalese and differing conditions for differing cards, even inside the Delta family of cards, really bothers me. To me, the perks of this program do not outweigh the drawbacks. To me, VISA is simple and straight forward across all the VISA products.
Some final personal thoughts. What are you trying to get? Do you want your deductible covered if you have an accident? That is what I am looking for. I am not looking for extra coverage in case of damage to my stuff. I have life insurance so I don t pay with my AMEX to protect car france in prestige rental my family if I were to die in a wreck (would they even know to check for this?)! I have never rented a car for more than two weeks, but others I know do. I love so much of what AMEX offers with Delta, car france in prestige rental but when it comes to this perk, I will NOT have peace of mind if I were to choose AMEX to pay for the rental.

I once used a MasterCard for a rental and tried to get coverage for a break-in (in which only glass was broken and nothing of significant value stolen). It was torture. Hours wait on hold, short hours of operation of the call-in center, rejection, after rejection. They kept stating I needed to claim it on my own auto insurance but at the time I did not own a car and had no auto insurance. I finally gave up and paid the ridiculous overcharged that the rental car company wanted ($450 to replace a passenger window) because it was still not resolved with MasterCard after 2 months and Thrifty sent me to collections. I knew this was there plan to keep denying until I gave up. In the end I sent a letter to the state DA, BBB, and have never and will never use MasterCard again.
I don t know if Visa is better car france in prestige rental but for other purposes I have always had great customer service car france in prestige rental from Amex and why I use them for purchases of consumer car france in prestige rental items like electronics and have been using them for car rentals. I will see what happens if I never need a claim.
@Mark P I would not use MC for many reasons but thanks for your feedback. I also have had PERFECT success with AMEX purchase warranty related issues. From what I have seen so far, VISA is great about these types of claims but would love REAL WORLD feedback about how it went. On paper , so far, a std VISA is the clear winner. But, stay tuned for part 3 soon.
I m with Mark, I don t own my own car and it s still almost impossible to suss out what is and isn t covered by credit card companies for those of us without our own insurance. There are a few cards like the United Mileage Plus that had all sorts of bullet points about Primary Coverage, etc., but who really knows until something happens.
I have carried a Diners Club card just for this purpose. It is one the few cards that is PRIMARY for rental car insurance (but not the only). So it is worth the annual fee to avoid having to use my personal insurance for a rental car accident. But I can t say how easy they are to deal with and hopefully won t ever have to try it out!
You know what, Rene. I m very happy you are laying this out in a consolidated format. On the Disney boards, the issue of car insurance comes up from time to time, and most people don t know or understand their liabilities or their coverage options. It is nice to have the info listed, so all I need to do is point
2nd my other friend, had a flat tire, although he had insurance car france in prestige rental from the rental car, they do not cover flat tire (the tire busted, needed replacement), he rented with Discover, so they cover the cost of new tire and labour
I would tend to think that for most Visa and Amex cards, the rental coverage perk was never really designed to be a perk .or maybe it was long ago but no long is. Seems like there s far too many hoops to jump through and too many gotchas for these to be really worth while.
Can t wait for the next post on this. I don t normally worry about this much because my company s rental agreement provides LDW as part of the contracted rate, but I m always looking for ways to protect myself when I head out on my own dime.
A number of years ago I slid into a guardrail in a snowstorm and the rental car s bumper car france in prestige rental was dented (to the tune of $1400 in their inflated version of auto body repair). Had rented with a Visa, and at the time didn t own a car or have other coverage. Visa paid the whole amount, no problem, car france in prestige rental and with very minimal hassle.
Rented vehicle in CA for a trip to Vegas last week. Paid with AMEX BRG 17.95$ per rental. Accident on I15 in Vegas (additional driver driving and was ticketed at fault). Rental vehicle damaged and was towed away. Other vehicle was damaged but could be driven. Case opened with AMEX Enterprise. AMEX has confirmed that they will cover entire cost for damaged vehicle (including Tow, Loss of use etc). Personal insurance to cover liability car france in prestige rental part (damages to other vehicle). Final decision is still not made on coverage personal insurance will provide.

I think most of the car rental companies in Asia-Pacific region leverage insurance for their customers. In fact the business competition between Amex and Visa actually benefits more for the customers. Car rental in Bahrain isn t a different scenario.
