Advantages: Turquoise seas, white sands, fabulous hotel, food to die for Disadvantages: You get fat! Heat can be overpowering. Advantages far outweigh any drawbacks
How do I start? My brother got married here in 2001, my Mother, eager to attend paid for me to go with her. It was one of the most outstanding experiences of my life.
We flew via the Bahamas where, when I went, there was a two hour stopover. Unfortunately we could not disembark there. Then we flew, fairly low, over a turquoise sea and small islands with white sandy beaches. Disembarkation at Turks and Caicos was quite strange, it is a fairly new resort. We exited the plane down steps on a very small runway - the wings overhung the grass. And boy, was it hot! Customs was not in an air conditioned part of the small airport buildings and I thought I might wilt! We were to stay in the Sandals resort, an oasis in somewhat of a desert. A taxi took us there, something of an experience as there are few cars and many quite mad ...
Advantages: Varied tasks to chose from, Quick and reliable tracking of work and payments Disadvantages: US-centric, Can only cash out via Amazon.com
Amazon.com is now more than just a place to buy cheap books from, it seems. One of a suite of extra web services now offered by the internet giant, the Amazon Mechanical Turk was first launched in 2005 as a crowdsourcing marketplace - or to put it more bluntly, a place for people to post jobs they wanted doing, and for other people to do them in return for payment, a bit like a virtual job centre. In case you are wondering where the slightly unusual name of this service comes from, the Mechanical Turk is named after a famous 18th century hoax. The original Mechanical Turk was a chess-playing machine made up of a wooden cabinet at which an automaton dressed in Turkish costume sat, with the mechanism appearing to be able to play a strong game of chess against human opponents (which it usually won) and solve challenging chess puzzles that ...
Advantages: Clean, simple, cheap, good location Disadvantages: can be noisy in front of hotel rooms
I recently spent a very pleasent 6 nights in the Comfort Inn by the Bay in sunny San Francisco.
The building itself is typical of hotels within this chain, simple, basic, no frills, but comfortable and pleasent enough to stay in.
The entrance lobby is not vast, but big enough that it can easily accomodate several groups of people as you wait to check in/check out, etc. It has a few casual sofas, some hardback chairs, payphones and plenty of leaflets and similar about all things local.
There is staff on reception 24/7 which is handy, and we found them very helpful. Being our first time abroad we where confused about the telephone codes and numbers, but they patiently went through it with us on more than one occasion!
There are only 2 lifts, which I must admit did prove to be a pain. We were on the ninth floor and sometimes seemed ...
