I have had my identity stolen before and now I refuse to use credit cards. No one will burn me again! I am planning to take a trip down to San Diego and am wondering if any of you knew of debit or cash friendly hotels. Also if there is a deposit what is the amounts you paid? Thanks.
Most hotels will have a cancellation policy of either 4pm or 6pm day of arrival (local time). Some will be the day before, but they can hold your room up until that time and as long as cancel within the desired period you will not be up for a charge and they will not require a deposit. Your debit card should be more than OK for holding the room and you should not need to give them a deposit.
Beware…when a debit card is used the hotel/car hire companies more often than not hold a reserve against your account of about $500 (in addition to the room charge rate). The money should show back in your account within 24-48 hours after departure but could take longer. The same can apply to cc’s too, but usually just with debit cards as the vendor has more to lose.
I am sorry to hear about your bad experience but cc’s are a far better bet than debit cards. The level that they offer of protection is far greater and your responsibility is typically only $50 with a cc. Maybe you should re-look at that idea, getting one card with good protection?
Good luck with your trip and the bookings.

Mt friends and I will go to Kaohsiung, Taiwan for Summer vacation. Is there any suggested Kaohsiung hotels and attractions?
Kaohsiung is a modern city and the government pays much attention to the development of Kaohsiung. My friends from other countries have some favorite attractions according to their Kaohsiung travel experience. You may refer to the following information from the information they provided.
First, The British Consulate at Takao is a place people from other country like most. You can look into the
Ocean and enjoy a cup of coffee there. For more information about the attraction, you may refer to

If you want to enjoy the romantic night at Kaohsiung, you must go to Love River, the sign of Kaohsiung. It is the information about Love River http://tourguide.sinotour.com/scenery684.html
Urban Spotlight is also a featured attraction. It is created in the theme of “Light”.
If you like to eat different Taiwanese food, Liouhe Night Market is a good choice, Nightmarket becomes
More prosperous as the night goes on.
If you like go shopping, Dream Mall is a good place where you can easily find what you want. More information, you may refer to

I’m planning to go to flight school within the next few months. I have narrowed my search to these three schools and would like to know what anyone has to say about them. I’m not sure if I want to fly commercial or corporate after school. I would like to know what will be best for the money and preparation for the future. Thanks.
Stay away from Delta Connection. Although they may have quality training, for some reason the airline pilot community has very little respect for people from this school. There are a lot of stupid reasons for this, but it is a reality. By not going there you will save yourself some aggravation later on if you decide on an airline career.
I have done some simulator training at Flight Safety. It is a quality flight school and is well respected in the industry.
I have friends who have trained at ATP and said they liked the training and the experience that they got there. They are working for various airlines, so it seems to be a good school as well.
If it were me, I would go with Flight Safety, but I’d have to do some more research on ATP to be sure.

The number of tourists and visitors to Moscow is down, reflecting hard times faced by the global economy. Annually, tourism brings about 7% of the city’s income, and despite the downturn more rooms are needed.

We are visiting Orlando in June and staying on International drive in one of the cheaper hotels. Is it acceptable to visit other nearby hotels and use their pools, restaurants etc? Or not?
It may seem cheeky but we have asked before on various holidays and they have usually welcomed us.
In general hotels only offer their ‘free’ amenities, such as the pool, to paying guest. You are always welcome to use anything where you will be paying out money, such as restaurants.
The previous poster who said that you can use any Disney pool as a Disney hotel guest is incorrect. I know you are not staying at Disney, but just to clarify, if you are staying at a Disney property you may use any pool at that particular property, however, you are not allowed to move to another Disney hotel and use their pools. The only exception to this rule is the All Star Resorts, where you may use any of the pools at Music, Movie, or Sports.
But then again, I don’t think the lifeguards at the Disney resorts really check to see who is using their pools anyway!
Speaking of Disney resorts,If you plan to patronize other hotel restaurants, I recommend that you visit Beaches and Cream at the Yacht and Beach Club Resort and get the ‘Kitchen Sink’ dessert. Make sure you take a hefty appetite and at least 3 friends with you to enjoy this dessert!
