Problems with Hotel Booking Engine Agoda.com and How They Were Fixed

Posted on November 6, 2011 at 11:00pm 0 Comments

I've been a big fan of Priceline and especially their company Booking.com.I assumed since Agoda was owned by Priceline too, it would be good as well.



Agoda is based in Asia, but now they list hotels all over the world like the other booking sites.



I recently booked two hotels in the EWR area of Newark NJ.First because they were a little cheaper and second because I wanted to get some more experience with them, since I'm going to travel in Asia more in the coming years and… Continue

Visiting New York City While Staying in Newark, New Jersey

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 11:01am 11 Comments

I stayed at the Best Western Robert Treat hotel and did the commute by Path to WTC and also New Jersey Transit train Penn to Penn station.The Path trains run all night and the New Jersey transit trains stop at 1am.I was really amazed how fast and cheap those connections are.



What I noticed is the hotel was full of European budget travelers doing the same exact thing.The hotels offer free shuttle service from EWR and to Penn Station, Newark around the clock,so people don't need to… Continue

I really liked the flight.It was a new Airbus and had a lot of video features to keep all the kids busy that were coming from Disneyworld.They also handed out some conveinent travel packs on…

I won a  free trip to Manchester through Virgin Vacations and Visit Manchester.They really were wonderful.I also have looked at Virgin Vacation's prices and they are good even if I had to pay.Visit Manchester has been great and really does a good job of promoting their city. It's good to see people proud of their city and welcoming.

I really was  impressed with…

Hi Rob, you are very kind. I was very disappointed that Frommer's discontinued the blog. Right now my culinary travel writing can be found on my blog, Cooking with Amy ( www.cookingwithamy.com) I am hoping to be blogging for Epicurious in January. I'll let you know if that comes to pass. Amy Zavatto has done a few articles for the Frommers.com site, but is not regularly writing about culinary travel.

Thanks Rob. I've got some great trips lined up to Alaska, Jamaica and possibly Mexico. Hoping to find some new outlets for writing...

Hi Robert again and thank you for this

The rates for our apartment is a bit lower than in Reykjavik  because we are in the outskirt of Reykjavik but only 15 min drive to the center.

We are booked up in June and July but you can contact me for any information or help needed. I hope you will have a nice stay in June.

Warmest

Bara

Hi Travel Rob

This is only one apartment, a self catering one, in the same house as we live in so family owned, licensed and is rented out "personally" i.e. directly through me (I'm the computer side of our business) :=)

It accommodates up to 4 people.

We have it listed on the website holiday-rentals.co.uk with pictures, reviews and more.

Why do you ask?

 

warm regards from Iceland

Bara Olafsdottir
