My kids have school in February
And the fligh is a red eye

you’re flying right at a huge holiday. flight is going to kill you no matter what time. you can try booking a red eye to save some cash but still. right after christmas, you’re going to pay out the ass. is there any way to go sometime in february instead? that’s a non-peak time

I’m from the US and would like to travel over to sweden this summer. I’m going to be training in mma/kick boxing and would like to stay over there for a bout a week or 2. Is it possible for a 17 year old to rent out a hotel room over in sweden?

Im not 100% , but im kinda sure that you have to be 18 to do that.
Hope you will have a good time in sweden

i would continue my hotel management degree and in Sweden or Cyprus i would get the job easily?

Sweden is very good in higher education plus the living standards will be higher. What else, it is more expensive there.

will be traveling in dec/jan to gothenburg, stockholm, and oslo. i keep reading how expensive hotels are but when i go to sites like scandic and sheraton they are about $167 a night. is that expensive? i usually pay that here in fl. am i missing something? they say per room not per person.
my point is, less than $200 is not expensive where i’m from.

Prices start around 1000 kr per night (~$160 in NOK, ~$130 in SEK) for a standard room in a 2-3 star hotel. For the same standard in many other major European cities, I pay ~$100/night.. so I would consider it expensive in comparison. It also depends on when you book. I checked the Sheraton Stockholm for dates in October, and the price was $300/night. In December though, the price is almost halved.

The difference in Scandinavia to somewhere like the US is that there are few cheaper options. For budget travellers, there are hostels and guest houses/B&Bs.. but both of these are very expensive compared to other countries.

Though hotels are all similar in that they all have beds and other accommodations to make staying there much more homelike, there are some very unique hotels in various parts of the world that challenge the concept of the traditional hotel.

The unique treetop hotels in Costa Rica, Kenya and other parts of the world where the hotels are built with very large living trees making up a substantial part of the hotel structure. The treetop hotel in Kenya is built into the trees surrounding a watering hole for the many species of animals that forage there. When you leave the main dining room to go back to your room you are always accompanied by a guard for protection from wild predators. The Ariau Towers in Brazil, near the city of Manaus is in the middle of the Amazon on the Rio Negro and is a similar type of living tree hotel.
Ariau Amazon Towers is another unique hotel, located 35 miles from Manaus, Brazil where the Rio Negro and Ariau Creek meet. Built entirely at the level of the Rainforest Canopy, Ariau’s towers are linked together by 4 miles of strong wooden catwalks. This architectural wonder affords visitors a unique communion with the regions teeming plant and animal life while leaving the fragile eco-system completely undisturbed. Bill gates invested in the hotel and had modern telephone / internet connections installed.
Straight out of Neromancer, the Sci-Fi book by William Gibson, but only for the Japanese as of yet, the unique capsule hotels are an economy type of hotel with extremely high occupancy capabilities. Most capsule hotel compartments are only about 6 ½ feet by 4 feet by a little over 3 feet. These hotels are not recommended for large or very tall people. This amount of space certainly gives one enough room to read or sleep, but not much else. Of course if you’ve got wireless internet the possibilities are considerably expanded.
Capsule hotels are not necessarily frequented primarily by lower income people, but are used by many types of people for many different reasons. For about $25-34 per night, a tired working person who stayed out too late drinking and missed the last train can get a night’s rest. There are often discount rates for those wishing to nap for only a couple of hours during the day.
There are several cave hotels throughout the world in such places as Australia, Spain, Turkey, the United States and several other countries. Rooms in cave hotels typically have the entire walls or even two or three walls made out of the mountain or other hard sediment formation that the hotel is built into.
For instance there is the cave hotel in Southern Australia, an Underground hotel and casino, in Coober Pedy.
The Desert Cave Hotel allows you to experience dug-out style living, underground shops, bar and opal display areas. Sleeping underground is a very unique experience. Quiet, cool, dark and airy, the rooms seem spacious with their high ceilings.
The unique Desert Cave Hotel, famous as the only international rated underground hotel in the world, allows you to experience dug-out style living. It’s the experience to enjoy if you are in the area.
They have all of the amenities, fine dining, a pool, a beautiful spa and a well equipped gym.
There is one underwater hotel in the entire world that can be reached without the aid of scuba gear which is really a unique hotel. The Utter Inn located in Lake Malaren, Sweden features one large room and visitors can simply walk down into the hotel while viewing underwater. This same company also has an undersea lodge in Key Largo, Florida that does require scuba diving to reach.
The Utter (Otter) Inn in Sweden is a small floating house with a deck for sunning. Its uniqueness is that you descend the stairs into the lake. The bedroom is like an aquarium but you are the fish. There is an inflatable boat so that you can visit a near by un-inhabited island to swim and sun. You will have to buy the deluxe package to have dinner delivered to you (by boat, of course) in the evening.
These are the few totally different and unique hotels around the world. Be adventuresome and check one or two of the out.

Hello, I’m Nicole. In English, we’re making speeches about a certain place. Having ancestors from Sweden, and being made mostly of the Swedish culture ( if that makes sense) , I decided to choose Sweden. Well, for people that have been to the Ice Hotel, please leave your name, and describe it, I want to use it in my speech, cause I’ve only looked at pictures and never actually been there. Thank you a bunch! P.S. Only leave your first name. Thanks!

The Ice Hotel is an exclusive and expensive hotel. I doubt you’ll have any luck finding anyone on yahoo answers who just happens to have been there. Just so you know.
You can look up people’s video clips on youtube though. But I don’t see why you’d need someone’s description of the hotel. You can simply look at pictures or youtube videos to get that info. :/
