Advantages: Relaxation Combined with Fun & Adventure Disadvantages: You Have to Come Home
August 2001 I had been seeing Jan for 4 months and was slowly building a bond with her, Dan and Dale Jan's two boys with whom I was also developing a bond had been invited to their Grandma's in Scarborough, East Yorkshire for the week during the School Summer break, Jan and myself got out the map of the UK with the intention of having a holiday of our own. MMM where to choose, things to take into consideration: my car at the time was a G Reg Sierra, neither of us had ever driven within these countries before with the exception of England although we had visited them. We eventually decided on Scotland and the location was to be Oban. Saturday 12.00hrs we decided on the small idyllic fishing town called Oban.

Advantages: CalMac sails to the Western Isles from Oban Disadvantages: Oban used to have a direct western rail link pre-Beaching
Whilst the rest of the UK was braving heavy downfalls of snow Oban on the week (1) I went and the week previously enjoyed mostly sun.(2)
I travelled to Oban courtesy of Wallace Arnolds Coach tours for the Special offer price of £139. (3)
The tour is primaraly aimed at pensioners. But pensioners have an Age of knowledge and expierience and are lots of Fun.
For the price you get Dinner B&B ( for the economically minded you tank up at breakfast (fruit juice/cereal/ full english and tea/coffee) and hang on till dinner time).
Also included are trips to Inverary (half day) and Fort William Glencoe (full day).
Optional trips to Seil island (half day) and Ben Nevis Distillery and Cable car half way up Ben Nevis (attached to Fort William trip) cost around £13.50.
The scenery is utterly amazing your coach driver is a fount of all ...

I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal.
PRICE:
Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time ...
