student who wants to travel to egypt? I'm 20 and would want to go to Egypt either for spring break or to go in may. Tried independent and group travel, but kind of like group travel just because everything is planned out for you for some of the day (they do all the reservations for you) and then you could venture off on your own for the rest. I would like to know if there is an agency or something that organizes small group tours for students.

The are wanting to book their trip with a company called "Odysseys Unlimited" they bill themselves as the kings of small group travel. 12-24 guaranteed.

Trekking in Chile - any good companies? Would like small groups travelling in Patagonia. I should have explained that I am an experienced trekker and have been to Chile and Peru. I'm not looking for a million links to sites!!! I am looking for someone who has had a personal experience and wants to share. That's what Yahoo is for!

What is the cheapest way to tour northeastern US and Canada for small not-for-profit groups? I am the President of a fan club. I would like to put together an "affordable" tour for this band's next tour of NORTHEASTERN North America, which includes US and Canadian stops. Is there a rail fare for purchase in the US that would extend to Canada? Is there a way to get US and Canadian rail at a discount to cross over? Are passports required for travel to Toronto, Quebec and Ontario regions? Is there a way to get any group travel discounts for a pre-planned tour of these regions? Is there a way to charter a bus; would this be more, or less, affordable than rail? What is the MOST economical way to make this trip affordable for all? Orgination may come from all over the US but we could start the tour at the first 'band stop' to make it easier to get an all inclusive DISCOUNTED fee. Please send facts and figures and ideas to me asap. THANKS! :-) 1bluesfan@comcast.net ronniebakerbrooksfanclub.net Travel Agents may send responses but I simply cannot dole out money for their aervices. Sorry. :-)

Should we put travel restriction on people of Muslim faith.? We have to face the truth its a small group of Muslims that are holding the world hostage. There are travel restriction for everyone now. My question is why not have people of Muslim faith travel with just Muslims. I'm not racist at all. I just feel the entire world should not suffer because of one small group of people.

Costa Rica - Safety? Hi We are planning a trip to Costa Rica. We have done a bit of travel before but are wondering about safety. Is this a place to rent a car and go independently to major sites on East and West Coasts and inland, or should we go on a small group tour? Travel countries say this is a very safe place and the safest in Central America but we have seen a worrying article on Wikipedia: In recent years, San José has suffered a growing problem with crime, due partly to population growth in the greater metropolitan area and limited economic opportunities. Tourists are frequently targeted and it is advisable to use taxis even for extremely short distances. Visitors to the heart of San Jose should pay particular attention due to lax policing and the presence of gangs, some of which have operated with impunity for years. Tourists are advised to carry only as much cash as is required and to leave credit cards in a safe at their hotel. Can you shed some light?

Is it a wise idea to travel to a city and allow yourself to be 'lost in translation'? Hi, I was thinking, is it a wise idea to travel to a city with some background knowledge, but not hire a local tour guide and wander by ourselves around the city to explore with a small group of people (3-5)? Because being 'lost in translation' may allow the travellers a complete immersion into the culture and experience maximum absorption of 'culture shock'? Or is this totally not advisable, even if the city is relatively safe? (Serious question. If you think I'm retarded asking this, then don't reply.) Thanks.

Hacking into Group? I am a moderator of a small group that was hacked into. The settings were all changed. The members (except the owner and the moderators) were removed. The Group's category was changed to an x-rated group. I wrote to Yahoo Groups about this and they seemed to not care and kept telling me it appeared that I had a problem with my identity. All I could get were "canned" answers leaving me the impression that no one reads messages when you have a serious issue that you can't handle or reesolve. I don't know how many times I wrote to Yahoo's customer service about this issue with no reply that made any sense for the situation. This was a serious, criminal act and no one but us cared. Another moderator and I reconstructed the group as our owner was in the hospital at the time and the third moderator was out of touch, traveling.

I had a dream last night that a small crocodile ate nearly every human being and creature on earth........? I had a dream last night that a small crocodile ate nearly every human being and creature on earth in a terrifying 15 minutes. The thing must have been travelling at about 3,000mph as I remember seeing it whizzing about in the distance eating everything in its path. About five people including me escaped just in time, along with a few lion cubs, some tiger cubs, and a chimpanzee. We all took refuge in a random house somewhere, and had to lock all the windows and doors to stop the crocodile from getting in. The following morning the postman delivered a letter (not quite sure how he was still alive) from another small group of survivors living in a house nearby. Then I woke up. I'm struggling to decipher the meaning of this dream which, it has to be said, is rather bizarre. Can anyone help?

Tough Question - Why do we form small social groups (small cliques)? We have the capacity, if not the will, to form large open networks of friends and acquaintances with many and varied personality types and backgrounds included. This capacity in fact form the basis of the Small World Theory, where each person is connected to each other person by only up to six links if only one percent of all people travel internationally. Yet instead of forming large open form social groups, we instead form small cliques where to be a part you have to fit the mould. These cliques, while often forming in larger populated areas, occur in academia (both teachers/lecturers and students), in religious rites and acceptances, workplaces and even in governments. Often cliques are the sources of racism or other prejudices and harmful gossip/rumours. So my question is, why do we form small social/working/academic/religious cliques, what purpose does it serve and what need does it fulfil in us? Please note : Answers stating that either ‘I don’t do that’ or focusing on one section, unless making a point, will not be considered. This question deals with the overall psychology of cliques and not one individual form of them. Please explain your answer if possible. Thanks.

Advice, travel buddies?? Anyone interested in going travelling or know where I can find travel buddies? Ok, I'm 24 and am planning a world tour in May/June 2009. I have the usual sob story where my mates are all settled, in jobs etc etc but I don't want to give up my dreams of travelling the world!

I want to have a small mixed group and visit 5 continents!!! lol If you are interested, email me and I'll let you know where I'm planning on going. Thank you for your answers!! By the way I'm from Scotland.

What SONG do you utterly DESPISE so bad that it make you go COMPLETELY INSANE? For me it is Glycerine by the band Bush. The last time I heard it was 5 years ago at a small traveling circus a few miles outside of Omaha Nebraska. Well the song was played, I became so overcome with rage that I just freaked on a small group of Carnies... I don’t remain what happened exactly… The bearded lady is still reported as missing and the whole case remains an unsolved mystery... (shh!)

Travel Advice - where to go? I live in the US and a small group of friends and I are planning a trip for next September, maybe 7-10 days long. We'd like to go overseas but are drawing a blank on where...where's your favorite place to go or thing to see overseas? All suggestions much appreciated!!

Travel from Alsace to Switzerland/Italy/Germany? A small group of us are going to be in France for 2 weeks, one week in the region closer to Spain/Mediterranean. We thought it would be smart to find a cottage/gite rental in Alsace, and attempt to sidestep into the above mentioned countries at least once each...does this sound reasonable? We'd hoped to use a car rental up to our visit in the Alsace region, and then rely on a train pass from there. Any input would be very kind, as we are first time travellers, and it's probably the last time, as well!

Cabo San Lucas trip for only $800? My girlfriend's friend recently went to Cabo San Lucas and only spent $800 and this included the ride from the airport the the hotel, the hotel, and the plane ticket. She used a travel agent and traveled with a small group of 4. She stayed there for 7 days and said the hotel was very nice and that they offered swimming with dolphins, but she paid for that seperately. I'm trying to find a deal similar to this online, is it possible or do I use a travel agent? I've looked at the Tesoro but its 1,600 for 2 people for 10 days! Aren't there better deals?

If you had to choose between a week in the Hawaiian Islands v. Thailand, which would you choose? This is a choice I am facing for summer 2008; we are travelling as a small group, adults and children ages 9-14. Goal is to build lifetime memories and to see beauty unseen in North America. I have only a few summers to show the world to these kids and grandparents. Too much to see; not enough time/money. As a group, we usually prefer active vacations over staring at the ocean.

Please help finding the name of a movie? I believe the genre of the movie was horror tho it might be action. From the trailer I saw what I remember is that a small group of people were traveling across a field once arriving on the other side there was a fence with a radio on it where they stopped to listen. If I am not mistaken it was a end of the world/apocalypse movie and thats what they were running from. Yes! thats it thank you very much. I just watched the trailer to verify and yes that is it. Tho seeing the release date makes me sad now I have to wait for it at least I have the title so I won't miss it. Thanks again for the help.

I'm preparing to take travel guide test,and I need English native speakers to help me? Thanks for reading these! Are these sentences correct in English? "What are the requirement about discussing and checking the schedule? 1. If it is a small change, the guide should report to the domestic land operator. If possible,the guide should try his best to satisfy the tourists and tell them that they should pay the expenses. 2. If it is the tourist himself wanna change the schedule,if not possible, explain to him;if all the group members demand it, the guide should report to the travel agency. 3.The local guide should consult with the domestic land operator about the difference between the actual schedule by the domestic land operator,and the schedule as anticipated by the tour leader,clarify the reasons for the ifferences and discuss possible resoluntions to their mutual satisfaction."

I need some information about Jordan please? A few friends and I really want to go to Jordan to visit the Dead Sea, and Petra, and so many other places. But how do people in Jordan see Americans? I know that there are a lot of immigrants from Palestine and other parts of the middle east, and unfortunately they are being dragged into the conflict with suicide bombers and things like that. Would it be smart for a small group of 20-something caucasian American women to travel there alone? I know that tourism is a large part of Jordan's economy, but would it be safe?

Young Skiers, Looking for Group Ski Trips? Hey Everyone, I am looking for group ski trips in the USA. It seems that the only things out there are for ski clubs, or for large groups (50+ people, and those are usually for schools, church groups, etc). Basically, I am looking for something that offers a "sign up" for a trip... around ages 20 - 40, and smaller group sizes (12 - 18 people). Perhaps some travel agents offer trips like this? I did find ONE sign up for ski season 2009, but it was for Europe.... I really want to stick to the USA for cost reasons. Anyone know of any tours / agents / groups that offer sign up group trips? I live in Florida :( No ski groups anywhere near here.

Ok lets be real about human deep space missions to other solar systems in the future?

Is Rudy one of the 5 best known Americans Internationally, or is it just arrogance? From a cross dressing politician...? Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani bragged about his international celebrity Wednesday on a trans-Atlantic campaign trip in which he schmoozed with conservative idol Margaret Thatcher. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani points to the logo as he delivers the Margaret Thatcher Atlantic Bridge lecture in London, September 19, 2007. [AP] "I'm probably one of the four or five best known Americans in the world," Giuliani told a small group of reporters at a posh London hotel as onlookers gathered in the lobby to gawk at actor Dustin Hoffman who was on a separate visit. The former New York mayor is the latest GOP presidential candidate to travel to Britain, meeting the country's new political guard and rubbing elbows with Thatcher, an icon for American conservatives.

What would be a good job for me? I like to work with children, and I like to travel and not be chained to a desk. I like working in small groups of children. I currently work at a daycare as an Assistant Group Supervisor. I never had a problem working with the "bad" kids at school so long as I was able to work with just them. I also always liked the thought of helping people get out of abusive situations such as the one I grew up in which is why I guess I want to work with them. What would be a good job for that?

If children are given a small dose of sleeping drugs, does it have the opposite effect? Nobody yell at me! A mother in my toddler's play group gives her 2 1/2 year old a fraction of her Ambien when they travel by plane.I have heard of at least two other people who occasionally give their kids Benadryl for the same reason.They claim it's safe.I have my doubts. ASIDE from the fact that potential for abuse is huge, is it ever safe to do? I have heard also that it can have the opposite effect on some children, making them hyperactive.I seriously considered doing it last night when my 3 yr old was overtired and wired.I tried warm milk, lights out , stories, alone time, very quiet soothing music...finally she collapsed at 2:30 am!! We had to get up at 6:00 today! Is sleeping medication of any kind ever appropriate for children?

Where can I find boat rentals to travel to the smaller islands in the Bahamas? Not Tour Groups? My family of 4 will be going to Atlantis in the Bahamas. I would like to do more than just be at the resort, even though I know we will love it there. I want to visit some beaches and snorkle on some of the smaller ( possibly uninhabited ) islands. Other than the obvious tour group.....Is there another way to rent a boat on Nassau to safely visit other islands? Atlantis will probably be so crowded I would like to escape and relax with just the family.

Probability with Small Samples of Travelers? Of a group of 30 people, 15 have traveled Austria, 6 to China and 3 to both places. If one of these people is randomly selected, what is the probability that he or she has traveled to Austria, but not to China? What is the probability that he or she has not traveled to any of these places? You can assume that the selection procedure is fair, so everybody has the same chance of being selected.

How do gypsies travel, exactly? I'm wanting to write a story on Romani (Gypsy) people in the 1600s in England, but I'm a little unsure of how they traveled. Did they travel in large groups of people, or small ones? How did they camp out? Did they find a place and stay there for a few months, or was it a nightly thing? Anything you can tell me on gypsy travel, then or now, would be very helpful. Thanks!

Small group tour - what do you think? Rather than travelling independently, I am considering joining a small group tour with one of those tour companies. What do you think of the idea?

We are only having a small group about 50ppl on a Sat evening.
