SPECIAL HOTEL TRAVEL SECRETS

These secrets all come from hotel employees who have worked in the industry.

Hotel reservations made thru online discount websites like Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz, and Travelocity are almost always slated for the worst rooms.These rooms are for the worst locations in the hotel, the rooms that the hotels feel are not favorable and most guests do not want. They are offered more by low price and not based on value and quality.  First the hotels receive their lowest profit from these reservations. It is always better to book thru travel agents to get the better rooms and prices from their contracted suppliers which give them better deals.

Note: Hotels prefer their loyalty members first and always give them the best rooms. Also hotels always overbook room at 110 % so they know that the hotel will be fully booked. They realize that about 10 % of the rooms will be canceled or no shows.

SPECIAL NOTE

The HR dept at the Ritz Cariton has told every employee who works there that they have a SPECIAL ALLOWANCE OF $ 1500 to make sure the guests feel their stay is a memorable one. The employee can offer specials to customers free that normally they would not get. Marriott hotels are part of the same chain as Ritz Cariton but not sure if the same policy applies.

NOTE: Not many people know this,
 and it is a great reason for staying at this hotel.

Being a rebel can be a positive change in your life. It can define who you are, where you are going, and how you will get there in your life.

First we must define what a rebel in.

A REBEL IS ONE WHO DECIDES TO BE DIFFERENT AND NOT NORMAL LIKE OTHERS

BUT IN A POSITIVE WAY

Do you think and see yourself differently than everyone else?

Do you want more out of life and do not see yourself as normal compared to others?

Are you willing to change your way of life to achieve what others only dream about?

Here some things that need to change in order for you to become a rebel and do things a little differently in order to achieve your true potential in life. These are some suggestions that might start you on the path of being a rebel, and doing what others

do not choose to do. Who wants to be normal anyway, I am sure you want to be awesome.

1. If you have a job you do not like, you need to choose something you love to do for a living. This will probably be the best positive thing you can do in your life. You do not have to work for someone else in order to do this either.

2. Get rid immediately the things that are causing you stress and drain your energy and life. Some of these might be telling yourself “ I do not have the time or money to do this”. Some others might be eliminating those meetings, parties, or other engagements that dominate all your time. Choose only one or two that you think are important, and just say “No” to the other ones. 

3. Rid yourself of family and friends that consistently are putting you down and saying negative things about you and your choices in life. While they think they may be helping you , they are actually denying you your full potential. 

4. Find new friends that are positive, motivate, and inspire you to achieve. Read books and attend lectures about people who want you to succeed. Adopt a mentor or life coach to assist you in the process if necessary.

5. Communicate effectively to say what you mean in as few words as possible, and mean what you say. This simple approach will let people know where you stand and not leave them guessing. 

6. Try to get of debt as soon as possible, so you can concentrate on what is important in your life. Try to live your life as simple as possible. This does not mean you should not try experiences like travel and adventure, because these are very important factors that will help you achieve becomes a rebel and living life to the fullest.

7. Do not let fear control your world. Fear of failure causes people to question, and leads people not fulfilling their destiny. 

8. Do not blame others for your decisions to do or not to do. Take 100 % responsibility or your actions or failure to action. Others are not what keeps you from succeeding in life you are. You be the force that drives you, and you will be the victor in the end.

9. Be honest with yourself of what you can and can not do. There are many opportunities for everyone out there in the world, and realize that no one can do everything. Take a close look at yourself, and find your strong points and concentrate on them. As you become stronger your negative points will seem less important. 

10. Get a calendar now and start to plan your life, and what you are going to do to achieve in your life. Set realistic goals with time frames for completion with the most important ones first. Then concentrate and focus on each one, and if you miss the completion date do not get discouraged, look at what you did wrong and learn from your mistakes. Learning and failure are all part of the process of success.

Now do know some of the steps in becoming a rebel in a positive way. Rebels who are a positive influence are always necessary in our society, because they show others what can be done , and act as mentors and set the example for other to follow.

Are you ready to become a REBEL WITH A POSITIVE CAUSE? The world is waiting for you to show us what you can and will do. The key words for you are THINKING, BELIEVING, CHANGING OLD HABITS, and ACTION. 

COMPUTERS HAVE THIS AND SO DO PEOPLE

                      by Ronald Reeker

                      Your Travel Coach

Have you heard the phrase “GARBAGE IN AND GARBAGE OUT” ?

I am sure most people have at one time or the other, but did you know that this phrase can apply to people as well as computers?

A computer is capable of producing what is programed into it, and the outcome or performance is determined by these elements.

People perform in the same way as computers are programed. 

Your brain is like a computer in a sense, it only produces actions as a result of the thoughts it receives.

If you only let negative thoughts enter your mind, the results will be  negative actions.

If you program your mind and your brain with positive thoughts, then positive actions and results will happen.

This is really the way your brain actually performs, and your body follows up accordingly.

Do you read books? Do you exercise regularly? Do you eat the right foods? Do you always say positive things about people and situations.

You see these things all are important to your mind and body.

They react to what is being put or programed .

So the next time think first about what you are going to do or what you are going to think, or what you are going to say.

Your brain and body are listening.

They both are being programed.

Your success or failure and future is be planned and determined.

Make sure it is a positive and not a negative one.

HOW TO USE THE "QUEUEING THEORY" IN TRAVEL TO SAVE YOU TIME AND LONG LINES

Have you heard of the "QUEUEING THEORY" ?

You may not have known about it before, but it is one very important factor that can save you time in travel, and make your travel experience ever more enjoyable.

A simple definition of the "Queueing Theory" is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. This is a model that is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting times can be predicted.

Why is this important, because do you really want to spend most of your time waiting in lines at the airport or waiting in lines in order to go to your room at a hotel?

There are some simple things you can do to avoid these lines using the right techniques.

Timing is the most important factor you should consider to avoid standing in lines.

Airports tend to be less crowded between 11 am and 3 pm. The research over the years has been done , so book your flights departures and arrivals between these times if you want to avoid long lines.

How you pick a security TSA line at the airport is another factor you should consider before entering into one line or another.

First look at fellow your other passengers. Do they have lots of bags they are checking in. This line will be slow because of this. 

PICK A SECURITY TSA LINE THAT HAS THE FEWEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH BAGS

MY "RULE OF THUMB" - DO NOT GO BY THE LENGTH OF THE LINE AT ALL, BUT THE NUMBER OF BAGS OF PEOPLE IN THAT LINE.

Second look at how many TSA security officers are at the computer monitors. If there are two or more, chances are they are training one of them, so every bag will get stopped.

PICK A LINE WITH ONLY ONE TSA SECURITY OFFICER

Hotels also can be very crowded in the morning hours 8 am to 11 am and between 3 pm and 6 pm. This is because people are checking out and checking in at the hotel the most at these times. 

The more expensive and luxury hotels have a separate concierge desk area. They handle special services for quests like dinner reservations, tours, and show tickets for all quests.

Most people do not know that the concierge desk does check in guests to the hotel besides the main front desk of the hotel. Most people only think that this is available for the high end quests, but they are wrong. In most cases the wait to check in is faster, and the service is better. 

Always look to see if the hotel has a concierge desk area, and go there first to avoid the long lines at the main front desk. You will be surprised at how well they treat you compared to the front desk.

Now you know about the "Queueing Theory" and how to use it to your advantage in saving time and avoiding long lines.

                               
LAS VEGAS SECRETS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BOOKING

2880.mtravel.com



               
The best hotel in Vegas is usually the newest one just built. The old hotels in the city do not age very well. The resort you may have visited a few years ago, may not be the best there is now. So that cheap hotel in Vegas, is cheap for a reason.
Thursday is not the best time to come to Vegas. It is the new Friday when all the crowds come, so it is very busy. The best times to come is late Sunday evening, but better time is Monday and leave by Thursday morning.
Never raise your voice or yell at the staff in hotels. You may complain if your service is not right, but NEVER NEVER YELL. If you do you will see security coming at you from all directions, and you will not be happy with the results.
Resort fees are the new extra price you pay for coming to Vegas. Hotels without resort fees are a thing of the past in vegas. They add up to an additional $ 30.00 per night depending on the hotel. This fee is mandatory and you must pay. Some resorts offer freebies or discounts or free shuttle, but the resort fee everyone pays. You do not pay these fees before arriving only after you stay and get ready to leave will they be added to your bill.
