Question: Honeymoon, holland america, first cruise, some feedback please? Hey, just preparing for our honeymoon, and was hoping to get some feedback. Our plan for our dream honeymoon is to head out on april 12 (the day after our wedding), from salt lake to CA and take a cruise on the Holland America Oosterdam, 7 day, mexican riviera. We managed to find a deal for a veranda room, which we are really excited about, for about 699$ (before taxes, tips, fuel charge, etc.) and flights for about 210$ (before taxes etc.)(don't worry we've added it all up, taxi too). One travel agent (younger lady) expressed the concern that we wouldn't like holland america because it had too old a crowd, and stuffy. Another (older lady) said we would love it. As for us, we aren't huge party people. We don't drink, our preferred dance is swing & ballroom, the library & culinary arts center's, & the art are a lot more attractive to us. We don't mind dressing nice, and we love older people. The cruise got dinged for lack of kids entertainment & shore excursions, but what do we care?

Answer: My husband and I love Holland America Line, and we're younger working professionals. Oosterdam was actually the first cruise ship we were on together, and it was perfect for us. We loved the Culinary Arts Center, the fine dining, and the generally more refined atmosphere on HAL. Like a lot of people, your travel agent associates "young" with "party" and I think you're right to recognize that that's not always right. I think you'll have a great time. Three resources I'd recommend: - Savvy Guide to Holland America Line, which will give you a bit more information into "what it's like" http://www.cruisesavvy.com/savvyguide/ho... - A Sept 2007 Cruise Report from Oosterdam's sister ship, Noordam, which may give you a sense of the atmosphere onboard. http://www.cruisesavvy.com/journals/pj/2... -The "know before you go" guide. It's not specific to HAL, but it has packing suggestions, onboard cell phone information, etc: http://www.cruisesavvy.com/savvyguide/kn...

Question: How much would you normally pay for a vacation for one person: Sydney - Macau - Singapore - Sydney? Any travel enthusiasts, travel professionals out there.... i need to know if $4,500 per person is a good deal. Its inclusive of taxes and flights and 2 5-star hotels with 3nights each, total of 6 nights with breakfast and 2 tours and 3-hour spa treat, entry to "ZA IA" (show), airport transfers, and a river cruise. Thanks!!!

Answer: Hey there! WOW! Only $4500? That's a pretty good bargain if you ask me! That return flight would be around $5000 (lower), but $4500 means you struck a pretty good deal! Congratulations, and about the extras too.. (drool) - if you change your mind, you know where I am, right? (jokes!) Good on ya!

Question: Okay or not?? Ok so I'm 13 and I live in new jersey and im staying with my aunt in montana over the next week cause my mom and dad are on a cruise. i had a connecting flight in which the airlines did not transfer my luggage properly and we have to go get it in 48 hours. heres the problem..i have no freakin pajamas! so my aunt (single woman no husband or kids) has told me i can wear one of her nighties to bed. my aunt has always been a nice woman but i always thought a little on the weird side. she says its no big deal for the next 2 nights until we get my luggage and yeah, i dont know, is this weird? my biggest worry is her gettin ideas or something, cause i gotta be here for a week. so yeah. thoughts? i guess i can, but its been a long day of traveling, ive had these clothes on for well over 24 hours..idk i guess i can, she just refuses to go to a store at this hour to go buy my something.

Answer: Ok, one, I don't think your aunt is going to lust after you if you put on her one of her nightgowns, why don't you just sleep in a shirt and underwear?

Question: Honeymoon HELP please. I'm in a dilemma...? I'm getting married in September of next year. We aren't one of those couples who are made of money. We actually have to save to have our wedding and honeymoon. We were thinking about taking a cruise but with the recent hurricanes we have changed our minds. September is hurricane season and I don't want to be biting my nails wondering if I will have to deal with that. Then we thought Vegas...lots of fun. But by the time we book our flights and hotel we have already spent TWO grand and that doesn't even include food or any events...JUST the hotel and flight. We could get a cruise for the same price and that includes shows, food, and more than one destination. We live in a small town in central Illinois where people are just average. Most people work in factories and none of us have tons of money. A honeymoon is a big deal to us and we want it to be special and unique,..but we are also on a budget. We don't have any specific destination ideas and we are fine with any type of climate(sunny, cool, whatever). Any suggestions are welcome and VERY appreciated. Thank you so much!

Answer: I am getting married next fall too. One thing I looked into was this awesome thing called a honeymoon registry. Google it. You book your honeymoon, (you could talk to a travel agent, tell them this is what we can spend, where can we go) and then people can choose to help you with your honeymoon instead of buy you gifts. They can choose to pay for one night stay at the hotel, or one meal. Look it up, its cool. As far as where to go, ask a travel agent. most times they dont charge you any more than you would pay because they get kickbacks from the company s.....hope this helps

Answer: You may want to think about musical composition as it refers to a set number of bars per verse. Most producers make music based on this structure and if you follow it you may be more likely to represent that you know what you are doing and, in turn, get signed more easily. As far as the lyrics, there are some high marks throughout, but concentrate on flow rather than making the next line rhyming. It's got to rhyme of course, but it should sound good along the way too.

Question: An e-mail sent to me on terrorism. What is your opinion? When WWIII Started****1979 This is not very long, but very informative. You have to read the catalogue of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how anyone can take the position that all we have to do is bring our troops home from Iraq, sit back, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep, and no one will ever bother us again. In case you missed it, World War III began in November 1979... that alarm has be en ringing for years US Navy Captain Ouimette the Executive Officer at Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida . Here is a copy of the speech he gave in 2003. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and why this action is so necessary. AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP! That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 (When more than 3,000 Americans were killed -AD) and maybe it was, but I think it should have been "Get Out of Bed!" In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then. It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran . This seizure was an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world's most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency. The attack on this sovereign U. S. embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25 years. America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then, President Carter, had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as a symbol ofAmerica's inability to deal with terrorism. America's military had been decimated and down sized/right sized since the end of the Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start. Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against US soil continued! In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut When it explodes, it kills 63 people. The alarm went off again and America hit the Snooze Button once more. Then just six short months later in 1983 a large truck heavily laden down with ove r 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the USMarine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. America mourns her dead and hit the Snooze Button once more. Two months later in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait, and America continues her slumber. The following year, in September 1984, another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut and America slept. Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe. In April 1985 a bomb explodes in a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid. Then in August 1985 a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main, 22 are killed and the snooze alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are continually attacked. Fifty-nine days later in 1985 a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger list and executed. The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when they bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 that killed 4 and the most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in1988, killing 259. Clinton treated these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact we are still trying to bring these people to trial. These are acts of war! The wake up alarm is getting louder and louder. The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America. In January 1993, two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley,Virginia. The following month, February 1993 , a group of terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City . Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured. Still this is a crime and n ot an act of war? The Snooze alarm is depressed again. Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women. A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb explodes only 35 yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroys the Khobar Towers, a US Air For ce barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500. The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America does not respond decisively. They move to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on two USembassies in Kenyaand Tanzania.. These attacks were planned with precision. They kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and goes back to sleep. The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on 12 October 2000, when a small craft pulled along side the ship and exploded killing 17 US Navy Sailors. Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war, but we sent the FBI to investigate the crime a nd went back to sleep. And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against US soil or in America. How wrong they are. America has been under a constant attack since 1979 and we chose to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back to sleep!!! In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from every high officials in govern ment over what they knew and what they didn't know. But if you've read the papers and paid a little attention I think you can see exactly what they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIAor on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since 1979. I think we have been in a war for the past 25 years and it wil l continue until we as a people decide enough is enough! America needs to "Get out of Bed" and act decisively now. America has been changed forever. We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and again and roll over and go back to sleep. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamotosaid "... it seems all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant." This is the message we need to disseminate to terrorists around the world. This is not a political thing to be hashed over in an election year this is an AMERICAN thing. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom of our children in years to come. If you believe in this please forward it to as many people as you can-- especially to the young people and all those who dozed off in history class and who seem so quick to protest such a necessary military action.If you don't believe it, just delete it and go back to sleep! > “Ranger� Bill Thiel .

Answer: My opinion is that first of all, "Ranger" Bill Thiel was correct in what he said - America is at war with terrorism. The problem is, unfortunately, I don't think there can ever be a democracy, or even complete freedom, in places like Iraq where at the very start of their new government they established an official national religion, one that calls for jihad even moreso. The American government is still trying to grasp what to do against terrorists, being that when America attacks bastions of militant terrorists it is rebuked by the U.N. and many European countries, and leaves her standing alone in the fight against terrorism but for a handful of loyal allies. If the U.S. does not attack, her own citizens will die at the terrorists very hands. The former choice was chosen, and we as a country have to back up that choice, whether we agree to fervently seek down terrorists instead of just retaliating after attacks, enough of which have already been waged against the country. I think we should stay in Iraq, but I also believe that our presense must slowly be drawn from the country because almost all opposition and terrorists, at least that we will ever find, are dead or in custody. This new warfare, this new type of cowardly attack against others cannot be ignored, even if it can never be abolished, as those who believe in the world's fastest growing religion are ordered by the book which Allah had inspired to kill those who would not give in to his divine power. We must wake up, and never think for a moment that this war doesn't exist - just as the Cold War loomed over our heads less than 2 decades ago, the war against terrorism possesses no rules, no restrictions, and no leeway, on either side. We must strike first, because as all of us experienced on Sept. 11 there is no perfect defense against terrorism.

If you don't believe it, just delete it and go back to sleep Lindsay, Bush was only the President for a very short time, BEFORE 9/11. Clinton held back the keys he needed to the offices of the FBI, and CIA from him 2 months prior to Mr. Bush taking office. Did you think Mr. Bush was psychic? He was ill-informed, the same way Condoleeza Rice, and Andrew Card were, due to Clinton's hatred of the Bush Family, and doing the right thing by you, as an American. If Clinton wanted to do the right thing, he would have accepted the free offer of bin Laden the 7 times, he was offered up to America, by Syria.

Answer: I taught him everything he knows. Well, okay, not really, but I've been saying this for some time now. Iran invaded the United States in 1979, that was an act of war, and not only have they not made peace, not apologized, they made a man who is believed to have been the leader of the attack their president. We are at war. Time we noticed. We need to either surrender or fight back, but ignoring it hasn't worked, and doesn't show much promise.

Answer: It is the fault of all liberal "feel good" politicos. Take heed of these words when you are considering your vote for Hillary Clinton. She will give more to the terrorist states than even her husband thought was possible. He couldn't have put his head any deeper in the sand over the events you describe. I despise the democrats for their positions that have led us to this point. We need a strong military leader in power for this job and it will not be finished for some time. The next logical step is for our forces in Afghanastan and Iraq to join in the middle of Iran. When we are in control of the land from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterrianian Sea we will finally have an advantage against the forces who constantly carry out these attacks. GO MARINES!

Answer: WRONG! Someone did just read that...I did! And I know where you're coming from. But do I think that America is still asleep? Not after 9-11; we got a real wake-up call that morning. We got another in 1993 with the first WTC bombing; but Clinton hit the "snooze button" on that one, too! And now, just recently, the terrorists captured in England. How loud does the alarm have to be, America!!!??? Buddy, you are right on the mark!
