    Thanks for the great report on your tour of GOV TimBeck2, would you mind copying and pasting it and posting again as a new thread in the GOV forum? It will get more views that way as it's a bit tucked away in here and it's good info.

    Nice to meet you on the cruise and thanks for the customs form :)

    Yes, the clubs are within walking distance. Probably a 10 minute walk.

    I have to say I wouldnt be very keen on that particular walk back from the clubs to the hotel in the small hours and would be careful. There's a few unoccupied premises and alley ways on the way and it's not well lit. If you were to walk back from the clubs stay on the Ocean side by the hotels and dont take short cuts down alleys.

    Far better to take the bus back even though it's just a short trip. It's less than a dollar, you are on the same side of the road and its just a few minutes.

    Thanks. Yeah great idea. The buses run 24 hours then?
    Great to meet you, too! You're welcome for the form, no biggie. The cruise was a blast and I will recap it when I do my TTR trip review!
    Yes I considered posting my review there but since it was just a tour I didn't know if it was fair/technically a review. Will copy and paste it now.

    Yep. buses run 24 hrs. A bit less frequent later on but you shouldn't have to wait longer than 10 mins.

    I look forward to reading it :)

    Not Orbitz , but Expedia wich does have good prices usually CDN dollars ,,

    #1 Click on Flight plus Hotel
    #2 Half way down click on the Blue Area that says 2 Destinations Unsupported Browser


    #3 Click the box that says you will take care of you own Transportation for the middle of the trip


    #4 Click change hotel and add the Hotel you want for the portions that you want,,,

    #5 Choose the flights you want , I usually use the Duration button and work down from there

    Some other sites have a '' I only need a hotel for part of my trip'' option, then you can book you second hotel in another transaction. ( more $$$)



    A few steps, but it works well and the pricing is better then doing your own Split

    Well for us the nightly rate of $139 for gov on orbitz booking hotel only with celebrate coupon code and then doing a partial hotel stay in a package on orbitz is cheaper than the entire package rate on Expedia with a split hotel.

    Airfares from Canada are stupid expensive, when we book together we get a discount.
    Thats why alpha rooms is not popular for us if we have to pay for flights ( no air miles).

    Also some site charge different rates for different rooms. I used Selloff Vacations this time around for that reason.
