When traveling to San Diego, it’s a good idea to check out what the area is like before arriving. There are so many parts to this fabulous city, that it will be hard to determine what San Diego hotel rooms are going to be the best deals. Many factors need to be taken into consideration, such as; the hotel accommodations, services and amenities offered by the hotel, dining choices, if there are any special rates, and which ones are located near popular attractions.

Accommodations- The decision on what type of room is needed should be easy enough to make. Most hotels have the option of choosing between suites with one or two king-sized beds, or one bed and a pull-out couch. There is usually just one bathroom in the smaller rooms, but some suites also have balconies, refrigerators, microwaves, and television. If necessary, there are also rooms that have wheelchair accessibility. Family rooms often have one large bed and a set of bunk beds, which is very exciting for the kids.

Services and Amenities- If the trip to San Diego is for business, be sure to check on the availability of access to fax and copy machines. They usually offer the rental of audio and visual equipment and have an excellent variety of meeting rooms. Wireless high-speed Internet services are almost always offered, as well as computer use, in case an extra is needed.

For families, there are numerous hotels with activities for children, kids’ menus, and even video rentals of movies that children enjoy. Cribs are available for babies and toddlers, as well as high chairs. These can make traveling with very small children a smoother process. Airport transportation can be a huge plus, especially when there is a large family traveling to the hotel. It’s hard to find a taxi big enough to carry everyone, plus the luggage.

Added services provided by most hotels include; an ATM in the lobby, complimentary breakfast and/or beverage area, multi-lingual staff members, room service, and safety deposit boxes. There is often the option for baggage storage when check out comes way before the tram to the airport is due to leave. For general personal cleanliness, some hotels have barber shops and laundromats included inside the hotel. Pools and fitness rooms are found in just about every popular hotel in San Diego, even water parks for kids and relaxing Jacuzzis for the adults.

Dining Choices- Many hotels will have at least one restaurant, while others will also have a pub or multiple eateries to choose from. There is usually room service that can be ordered between mid-morning and 10pm. If there is a strong desire to eat outside the restaurant, the main desk generally has a map or a listing of places nearby to eat at.

Specials and Discounts- Some hotels will give one night at a discounted price for booking multiple days in a row. Other places will offer packages for sites in the city in combination with a night’s stay; such as a trip to the local zoo, a night at the drive-in theater, or a trip to Sea World. There are also packages that include the whole family, even the pet or pets of the house can stay at the hotel with the family. Booking rooms way in advance will usually generate a discounted price. It’s always a good idea to check on what might be available for a discounted rate.

Attractions- Finding a hotel that is in the center of things is fantastic, but not always feasible. The best way to handle this is to make a list of sights to see in order of importance. There are many hotels that are near multiple sights. There are also some that can easily provide transportation to some of the hot spots. Top attractions in San Diego are; the San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, Legoland, Balboa Park, San Diego Harbor, Old Town San Diego, Mission Bay Park, La Jolla, and the many magnificent beaches.

Booking any of the San Diego hotel rooms can usually be accomplished over the internet or phone. Both are equally as easy and can be done any time of day. When booking online, there’s a section to fill out with the dates of the desired stay and availability is checked once this information is entered. After the dates, number of people, and the type of room are filled in and submitted, the total cost is listed. If this is acceptable, a credit card is used to secure the room, but won’t be charged until after the stay.

what are the average rates to have carpets and upholstery cleaned?

what are the average rates to have carpets and upholstery cleaned?
My husband and I are looking into starting a carpet/upholstery cleaning Business in a small town in mt. there are currently no other carpet cleaners within 80 miles of us so its hard to know what we should charge. any input would be appreciated!

The rates vary widely from state to state. Here in Florida, there are a lot of carpet cleaners that offer ’specials’. The average special rate seems to be about $60 a room. Upholstery cleaning is usually done by negotiating the price and an hourly rate. Like any other business, I think you need to calculate your costs and charge a reasonable rate for labor. It takes courage to start a small business in this miserable economy. Best wishes, I hope you succeed.

airline traveling rules

Henceforth air-travelers shall be able to carry to the cabin two bags, rather than one as before.

This significant facilitation was implemented only in 22 airports, including Heathrow, the biggest of them. It was permitted to increase the limit of hand luggage for air-travelers after establishment of modern scanners that significantly fasten luggage checks without prejudice to safety. The airports that have not installed the new equipment shall function according to the old rules. This also refers to the London’s Gatwick, the second airport in the country from the point of view of functioning capacity. You shall be able to carry to the cabin only one bag. It shall be reminded that the regime “one passenger – one unit of hand luggage” was introduced in the British airports in summer of the year before last. This led to an abrupt increase in luggage loss. According to the polls, approximately 10 percent of passengers have either lost their luggage, or suffered from its substitution ever since. The total value of the so called “luggage claims” reached the record index of 163 million dollars last year. The companies have already reimbursed the victims approximately two million dollars.

According to the Ministry of Transport of Great Britain, this facilitation shall not influence the restriction on transporting liquids in the cabin. Air-travelers shall as before be able to carry along no more than one liter of liquid, each container comprising not more than 100 ml. However, this regulation change will positively influence the passenger traffic in these airports and therefore the turnover of the airline companies.

Can you carry a lot of cash internationally? When you’re traveling on an airplane?

Are you allowed to cash a lot of cash (by “a lot” I mean thousands…) on a transcontinental flight? Do you need to fill out a form or something and declare the amount, or can you just tuck it in your luggage and you’re good to go? Also, do the rules differ by airlines?

In spite of many of the incorrect answers given, there is no limit with regard to how much cash may be carried out of the United States. There is, however, the requirement to declare to US Customs amounts of currency, coins, etc. that are $10,000 or more, by filling out the form linked below. The instructions of that form clearly state (in spite of a few of the incorrect answers already given) that this declaration applies both upon arrival to the US and departure from the US.

The rules for importation and exportation of cash for other countries may vary, though, so you’ll want to check with the customs agency of the country to which you’re travelling to see what you’re allowed to carry and what you must declare.

With regard to carrying the cash with you, the airline isn’t going to care or require you to fill out any forms for their own purposes. You’ll definitely want to carry it onboard with you, though — putting it in checked luggage is, essentially, asking for someone to steal it along the way.
