Question: What do you do with a garment bag while traveling?
Do you put the garment bag in your luggage? Do you check it seperately? Can I take it on the plane with me to ensure it doesn’t get lost? I have never flown a garment bag before and I don’t want any trouble at the airport..

garment bag
Best answer:
Answer by Just Jess
What type of garment bag are you referring to?
For actual luggage style garment bags (ones that will fit a suit or two, some shirts, shoes, and a few other misc items) most people check them. Make sure you have a luggage tag on the bag.
For garment bags that you get when you purchase a nice suit or dress (ones that are thin plastic and just zip up the center) most people carry them on as they don’t stand up to the luggage hold and being tossed around very well.

Answer by Becky B
Two beardies and a uro do not prepare you for a sav. Do more research on the tegu and check out ackies if you really want a monitor.
EDIT: A little more detail than what I put in my original answer. I will reiterate that you should avoid the sav and think about the tegu or ackies.
An ig, though also not a beginner reptile, is nothing like a savannah monitor, disposition, diet and husbandry are all different, though both large lizards a sav will do much more damage than an ig. Igs lean towards “flight” when the “fight or flight” kicks in, whereas savs are bloodthirsty little monsters and will fight; basically an ig will damage you trying to escape while a sav will rip and tear into you so that you will leave it be. Ornery savs will rip and tear (and poop! these guys will defecate all over you as a defense mechanism!!) everytime you get near, no matter the reason, and sometimes it’s just the luck of the draw that you get a nasty-tempered sav and nothing you do will change that. You state that you used to have an iguana, out of curiosity what happened to it? They live two decades with good care.
I looked through your question history and discovered that you’ve only had your uro about two months. Watching a friend’s monitor does not prepare you for monitor ownership. These guys are a definite challenge. Large lizards are a unique challenge, and one that I undertake on a daily basis with my own collection and my foster animals. Continue to do your research, but with a word of warning ~ most monitor care you find online is garbage. Those videos on YouTube of “tame” savs are misleading. Monitors grow quickly and that cute little beast you buy at the pet store all too quickly turns into a complete monster requiring daily food, a huge enclosure and can be a pure bloody pain. Start with ackies or the tegu.

Answer by DaveNTempe
Yes, the Super 8 Motel (Bayview) that is located at 1835 Columbia St. in the Little Italy section of San Diego has a shuttle van that will pick you up at the Airport and they will also arrange to take you to the SD Zoo. You will need to reserve their Van the afternoon before going to the Zoo the next morning. I have stayed at this Super 8 at least 6 times in past 4 years and I’ve always been pleased with the accommodations and their shuttle service. Very convenient location that’s only 2.5 miles from the Airport, 3 miles to the Zoo and an easy 1 mile walk to the Harbor area plus just a 1/2 mile walk to the nearby Light Rail (trolley)
that will take you either East to several (2) excellent shopping Malls or into the downtown areas. You would be just 1 block from 5-6 very good Italian restaurants and nice shops in this unique Little Italy section of San Diego. PS: Their toll free No. is: 1-800-537-9902 for reseravations or to ask about their shuttle van service.
Cruising to Hawaii.?

Question: Cruising to Hawaii.?
I want to take a cruise around Hawaii, but I want to get the most out of my experience. I want to go around August, but so far the only cruiseline that has it that time of year is Norwegian cruise lines. For one, I’m not that big of a fan of NCL , but mostly because it’s only a 7 day cruise. and to make the most of Hawaii you need more than 7 days. We were thinking of staying in a Hotel on Oahu for a few days before or after the cruise, but then that limits us to only experiencing the most of one island. I want to see the real Hawaii, not the tourist attractions. Are there any other cruise lines, maybe local ones that are longer? if not will the superferry be going to kaua’i? all i see on the website is Oahu and Maui. thanks for the help.

Answer by Charlie
Why not consult a travel agent. there is no charge to you. An agent would know a lot more details and have resources to get info on Hawaii cruises. You may get a better price, and/or a better cruise going thru a travel agent.

Vacation Rental Home(House) at Maui?

Question: Vacation Rental Home(House) at Maui?
I am planning a trip to Maui for my whole family (10-15 ppl)
Question is;
1. Which area is good for vacation rental, Kapalua or Wailea? and why?
2. For vacation rental home, is there anything I should be cautious about, check, should not miss?
maui vacation rentals
Best answer:
Answer by MAcsSNAcs
Hi there! You’ll definitely have a good time on Maui.
1) I’d recommend Wailea. No particular reason… just that I’ve been there, and haven’t really visited Kapalua much…
2) I’ve been using Owner Direct Vacation Rentals for more than 5 years now, and they’re great. Never had a problem with them. They have a few vacation rentals in Wailea http://www.ownerdirect.com/accommodations/wailea.htm so you should check them out.
It’s nice to see someone talking about vacation rentals instead of hotels… I can’t see staying in a hotel ever again, since I found out about vacation rentals.
What to check for:
- Since you’re travelling with such a large group, make sure there are enough bedrooms! If not, make sure the owner knows about the numbers, in case they’re not comforatble with that many.
- find out if there are any cleaning fees
- do they have washer/dryer etc?
- any children?
- any pets?
- smoking allowed?
When you call up Owner Direct, their customer service will give you any more information you want. You can feel free to ask them any questions you have too. They’re the best customer service I’ve ever dealt with.
Have a great time on your trip!
